Are there any ways to reduce the weight of equipment aside from scrolls of flying? I decided to try a fairy thief for laughs.
turn it into cloth with a Inferior Material scroll
Alternatively, use Change Material or Superior Material scrolls and change it into the other light but not massively cruddy material types like Spirit Cloth, Dawn Cloth, Zylon, and so on.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Anyone know a good place to get some daggers or other good dual-wield weapons for a thief early? Can't seem to get anything of the sort out of the puppy cave... maybe I'm just being unlucky.

Hello,

I'd like to try this game, but i feel very stupid : i cannot find where to download it ! I'm looking for "Elona+ 1.20" from may 2013. I don't know japanese, and i've understood the game existes in english.

I went to the wikia Elona, Elona+, i tried google translate with the official website and temple roguelike, and i read the last 15 pages of this topic...

Also, i'm on Linux Lubuntu, if it matters.

A little help please ?

You can find the download here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kmv7mo349ehd7l1/1HKVFYzJ0p/elonaplus
You can get the optional music files from here http://homepage3.nifty.com/rfish/index_e.html

The game seems to be windows-only as far as I can tell so you'll have to fiddle with something like wine to get it working.

It runs reasonably well under wine aside from the terrible font rendering.

Also, I'm sorry Niveras. The list does change. The new hot map is 2p... well, it was yesterday. It has the word BLUE among the characters.

Thanks, I was able to find it that way. Saves me a ton of time grinding for gold - although I guess I'm now short on platinum, since my main, very slow source of gold prior to that was harvest jobs. I have a ridiculous number of seeds now. After investing millions into a couple of the Palmia vendors I might blow Palmia up for the karma thing and turn tricks for money instead.

I wish there was a way to improve platinum rewards, or at least increase the number of quests available from a given town. I know about Yact but I picked Kumi for now because I wanted his scythe.

The sheer amount of grinding in this game is a little off-putting. I think the whole thing about "potential" in stats and skills both on top of having to simply increase them seems excessive.

Also, I forgot. Is there a way to show exactly what your fame is? I looked at the character sheet but I couldn't find it. I'm probably just blind.

It's just below the center of the character sheet, under your Life/Mana section.

Ah, thanks. I had been focusing my attention on the upper right where level/experience was shown.

Ah, burned a spell or 2 under the one you were spam training, been there done that. Though meteor isn't that hard to cast once you have a decent casting skill, its problem is actually getting stock in it. I've nuked bandit groups for fun with it several times.

Thanks for the link. How am i supposed to find the link from the wiki or from the website ?

I'm testing Elona+ my eeePC 901, Lubuntu, with Wine. It's a little slow but it's ok. It crashes everytime i want to exit the game, but the save is stilll good, so, i don't really care.

However, i hate the "shift = escape" key, as i cannot use he numbers 1, 2, 3... I have a french keyboard : "1" is "shit+&", "2" is "shift+2" etc. So, i must hit "shift", and the game understands "escape".

I've changed the config.txt file, but it seems to be useless :

Code: [Select]
(Keyboard special function)
key_sCancel. "0" use shift key as ESC key 0=no 1=yes


Also i don't understand ingame options :

Object Shadow  : No (slow)
PCC show :  full size
Lighting : high

Whatever i set, i cannot see the difference and the game is still slow.

consider changing the keyboard to english while playing elona. that's what i do when i can't change the layout and they insist to use x and z as attack and block.
qwertz keyboard here.

You can actually set a number hotkey for abilities and spells. It solves all mis-casting issues and their potential ensuing house/town fires. Just scroll over to the spell and press the number(the normal ones, not the numpad) you want to assign to it.

qwertz?  Thats an odd keyboard style, but yeah I've got a qwerty layout but mine has an alternate french setting, and if I'm not careful it crashes elona.

It's nice in Elona+ that once you switch from Yacatect to someone else more usefull that you can still keep and use the Goose and Yacatect's gem stone to still get the monthly platinium coming.

Hm, anyone willing to compile a list of all Bay12'ers who have Elona so we can know who just died?

My currently active normal character is Resurrected Blade Aaron, Lawful Sane Neutral. IIRC this version is a Zanan, whom follows Eyth of Infidel.

My currently active Wizard Mode character is *Debug* Argus, Bacteria Predator, alignment Chaotic Necktie evil, with Rubynus equipment and follows himself.

My other characters, who I currently don't have saves of, are Nadia, a normal character of Lawful Sane Good, and Zinaldean, a Wizard mode character of Chaotic Bacon Good.
