I started out as a Farmer worshiping Kumiromi too. It depends on you. If you got enough platinum coins everything is possible. I even started using magic. I went with heavy armor/two-handed/sword/firearm setup at first and just massacred everything in the Puppy Cave for a while until I was strong enough to clear dungeons. I suggest you to get all the combat skills that you are going to use so you can max your skill increase when grinding.

I would say work on scythes since farmers start with scythes/sickles, but then again I'm not the best one to ask because I generally stick to certain weapon setups, so as to direct my platinum into a specific area rather than waste it on weapon types I won't use. In general, I'll use Scythes and Laser Pistols. If I have poor armor, I'll switch to a sickle and add in a light shield. I like to keep a lot of loot, so my armor is generally light. I put quite a bit of platinum into Weight Lifting and Anatomy, so it's vital I don't waste platinum.

You now get bonus spell power depending on how high your elemental resist on that element is.
Spell stock consumption now lowered by 1/3.
Spellbooks now cost half price.
Removed the 1% spell potential gain after reading a book.
Sleeping will now let you gain 20% more spell potential on all spells except for ones that you don't have stocks to.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang.

Yep. It's great.

I'm playing a gun-wielding warmage (whose class got renamed Dakkamancer as soon as I got my first business card from the blackjack games). I've found it a very viable strategy to wait until potential for spells is at 400%, then when I have some spare stocks, going out of town to train em up really fast and at low cost. Just a single spell level in all of em I find handy, putting the potential at 360%, then repeat every 2 sleeps. In particular, things with high value like wizard harvest can use this, giving a spell level (and thus stock use decrease) every couple casts, so long as you wait for potential after each level.

Holy Urist GET TRAVELING ON ALL YOUR PETS 


I gave my jet fighter traveling from an Alien.

[Patchy]

Yeah traveling is a godly skill in E+, especially when compared to how useless it was in vanilla. You and your pet gets trained while you do delivery quests for your platinum. Though that is definately the biggest batch of skill increases I've seen.

[alway]

Yeah; looks like he did a Vernis to Noyel run, so that would give quite a bit. Though I suspect it also had high potential/low skills in those areas.

[etgfrog]

Is that change log for version 1.2 or 1.23?

[Markus]

Oh? I've done something about that length and got 2 skill ups. . . =/

[Leatra]

Is there any save file problems when upgrading from normal Elona to Elona+? I'm still playing x-mas version and I guess it's time for an upgrade but I don't want to start a new character.

Do the same thing while carrying so much cargo that you get reduced to 10 speed.

It's Elona+ 1.9, vanilla Elona ceased development long ago.

There shouldn't be.

Anyone who's unwilling to switch to Elona+; don't be.

Elona+ fixes a lot of problems vanilla had, makes the game a LOT less grindier (Though it's still pretty grindy), and adds a lot of new content and features. South Tyris is still mostly untranslated, but all of the Vanilla game and most of the new features are available in English. Getting to South Tyris requires beating the Vanilla game, so it's not like you're not going to go there immediately anyway.

Ah, don't update to Elona+ 1.20, go with 1.19. 1.20 added a new feature which is really, really, unbalanced. Monsters can use super attacks, but their gauge rises up far too quickly.

[alway]

It also makes it a pretty good bit easier to get into. One thing I notices with + immediately was the harvest quests. They start at a 20s gather requirement, and stay low for a very long time. Even with my current 13000 or so fame, they only require up to around 32.5s to 35s tops. This means you can get tons more plat than you could previously, as that's an amount which is actually feasible for a low level character. In vanilla Elona, I remember seeing harvest missions for amounts like 50s or 60s, even within the first few levels. Good for lowering fame and getting loot from the pots, but not for getting the plats you need. And of course there's the aforementioned easing up of difficulty of wizardry to make things more interesting~

[Markus]

Okay, so I'm now curious. I know you can customize things like sprites and what-not. . . but is it possible to edit anything else client-side, instead of waiting for a new version?

[Blaze]

Just sprites, music, and custom NPCs I think.

How. . . disappointing. So no racial feats for debug races.

Also, is that Nyarko-San in your Avatar? How did I not notice?!
