The chest monster thing gives gifts if you ask all the questions in the seminar, each of the 16 seminars gives a different gift. Early game this can be really good, such as the very first seminar gives a portable cooking set.

but the questions are blank.

i redownloaded elona custom+ 1.73.1 and made a juere pianist. he's basically Liberace combined with Rambo; pianist extraordinaire by day, exterminates baddies with his assault rifle by night. i am escorted by my heavily armored little girl who tanks and slaughters everything in melee while i go hogwild and full auto everything in the room. and then i take a party time job and get annihilated by a thrown rock.

Sounds like the plot of an action movie. Next the little girl will carry out a rampage of revenge for you, before cornering the main villain(the person who threw the rock that killed you) at the top of a tall tower before Sparta-kicking them off, causing them to land on and be impaled by your piano, then they die as a rock(a broken-off piece from the tower) falls and hits them in the head.

ha, it's basically kickass but with more fabulous and pianos.

Because I lack the time to read through 280 pages of thread, could I get a link to the current "best" version of Elona? I played a little of this game some years back, and I'd like to try it again, but it was on an old computer.

For those interested, Elona+ is currently at version 1.73

Beat me to it.

Time to restart, I suppose. Can't even remember what I was doing with my last character beyond being a scumbag fairy wizard.

[Robsoie]

For my current Lich Wizard, i have been fighting a lot with a sword instead of doing what i always did with my past characters (i mean going nearly exclusively ranged magic only) and decided to boost his evasion a lot too instead of going over the spell related skills (as with spell usage and reading a lot of spellbooks i imagined that they would train a lot during this character run).

And i must say it is making a rather huge difference in his survivability, i remember my past character was in danger of being insta killed nearly everytime (so i had to teleport very often, especially in those bandit ambushes due to high fame) and not able to kill anything, but i have even gone clearing a low level dungeon with only melee without trouble.

[Robsoie]

It was a good idea to stockpile so many rods to sacrifice them at Itzpalt's altar (elona+ removed the staff sacrificing) from doing lots of dog dungeon (the dungeon near the starting town) grinding
Managed to obtain enough favor to pray for the 1st gift, a new ally.


And grinding in that dog dungeon allowed to gather so many books that i filled my spell list relatively easily, and obtained a lot of those ancient books that needed "decoding", the ones you need a lot to give in order to be accepted in the mage guild


Looks like that character has a lot of promise.
The addition in Elona+ of the possibility to have lots of spells trained against only a few platinium (at the same guy that can identify your whole inventory for only few money) allows to give lots of power level to spells you may not use much, very nice to break the spell leveling grinding repetitive routine that made it a pain to have recently obtained spells on an useful enough power.

Though it's a bit too easy now assuming you make enough missions and dungeon run to obtain enough platinium as after spending lots of them , i have nearly all of the offensive spells really high level of absolutely total global destruction.

[MCreeper]

Anyone can give me link on proper 1.73 version? Only one i can find leads either to 1.71 on dropbox, or some japanese site with tons of hentai ads. It's not like i don't like hentai, or can't deal with it, but i can't even find actual download.
Oh, nevermind, there was a captcha among all the naked lolis.

[Sirus]

Look in the comments of the main download page. Some kind soul has re-uploaded 1.73 on an English-language site.

So you're playing a Sith Lord, makes sense that you'd be more survivable (pretty sure you can find a Lightsaber in Elona+ as well).

Oh man, now that I've worked them out, I'm really liking a lot of the more recent changes.

Skill tickets + capped plat costs make it feasible to get every skill you want fairly quickly. Good shit.

The new god, Yacatect of Wealth, is amazing (and also contributes to the last point). She takes rings/amulets as offerings so she's dead easy to level. Her skill bonuses are to Negotiation, Sense Quality, Traveling, Investing, and Alchemy (which in E+ can be used to make near-weightless food & pots of cure mutation and water, and a chunk of the items for artifact fusion atop other stuff). Her pet turns food into plat coins at a rate of 2 per sleep. Her gem gives 10-25 plat coins per month. Her weapon is a near-weightless throwing coin that gives invisible sight, darkness res +200, and bonuses to investing + negotiation. Her hidden item massively reduces negotiation (-3173), which drastically reduces how much gold you have to spend to trigger progress in negotiation.

That's important because of how they changed materials scrolls. Now Inferior/Change/Superior each have a list of materials which they cycle through, same way every time. Listed on the wiki. That gives you a couple options and even further increases the value of investing in magic shops. You can use blessed change material to cycle up to one of the stopping points (Dragon Scale or Adamatium depending on where you want the item to go), then use a maximum of four blessed superior material to take it to crystal/titanium/mithril or emerald/diamond/rubynus/ether. If you want dawn or spirit cloth, you can hit it with inferior material to turn it into paper and then 1-2 superior to get the cloth you favor.

It's hard to overstate how massive it is to be able to remove that particular RNG goldsink. Especially when I play mostly Claymore. Knowing exactly how much I need to spend to get all my armor to Griffon Scale (and later Spirit Cloth), and it being "not too much" is wonderful.


e: Well what the fuck. My little girl had an artifact crystal battleaxe but it up and disappeared at some point.

I used Jeure Infantry tbh.
