I feel bad for that NTRed leopard-mask man in the second area inn. The gangbang bitch upstairs really talks shit to him. Why japs love mindbreaking heroic love interests I'll never understand.

>>14709399

It's pretty standard, move with numpad, walk into mobs to attack or press F to shoot, or bind a spell to a number and press that. The rest is simple, quests for some gold, dungeons, gear up with better equipment etc. I'm pretty new myself but if you have any questions feel free to ask.

>>14709400

I have no idea.

>>14709459

It's translated, I think it's the Irva is the area that starts to get untranslated, been awhile since I've played though.

>>14709393

The worst part is that it's based off an anime.

When should i start dumping level up points on skills?

>>14709499

Think the novels the anime are based off of are where the NTR came from though.

>>14709399

Well, since you got dubs, I'll give you a crash course:

1. You need a "learn to play the game" character. Make a Juere Farmer, and take the Weight Lifting skill and the Exorcist (equipment is not randomly cursed), Hypnotism (can reliably damage even highly evasive enemies and probably temporarily disable them), and Dimensional Move (short-range teleport) feats.

2. Here's a world map for you: http://elona.wikia.com/wiki/File:North_Tyris_Elona_Plus.png After you complete the tutorial, head to Vernis to recruit a little girl (a fairly capable fighter, the unquestioned best choice for your starter pet), then go to the Truce Ground and convert to Jure. This gives you a strong healing ability. If your Faith skill is at least 15 and you sacrifice dozens of junk stones to Jure, she'll give you a strong pet that heals you and prevents you from dying once per day, but you don't have to worry about that right now.

3. Do quests for NPCs to gain platinum coins. As a Farmer, you can probably do the farming quests in Yowyn, and delivery quests can be good too, but you should probably avoid "fight these monsters" quests for now. It's always a good idea to pick up new skills, although this particular character will want to keep their Gardening potential up as well.

4. When you can, take the Knowledge of Magical Plants feat. When you reach L30 Gardening, that'll give you the Violent Garden ability, which is quite powerful and should carry you while you mess around trying things out.

5. A few other important details, off the top of my head: dead pets can be revived cheaply at any inn, the Etherwind starts up within the first 15 days of each month evenly divisible by 3 (that is, months 3, 6, 9, and 12), Nefia Fever is a good time to harvest materials from the random dungeons, and casino chips (a type of material) can be used to play blackjack, which is a reliable way to obtain potions that cure the ether disease (which you'll pick up eventually). Also, some of this (the Knowledge of Magical Plants feat and Nefia Fever) only apply to Elona+/Elona Custom.

>>14709459

As long as you're on Elona Custom, it should be translated. Also, the cutscenes that explain the story will be restored.

>>14709400

>Shouldn't that be "Elona+/Elona Custom"?

Yes, it should.

>And there's also that other one that got translated recently.

Elin isn't complete yet and I think noa restarted it from scratch.

>>14709572

I looked it up, and the one I was thinking of is "Elona Omake":

http://elona.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:28162

>>14709610

I remember it now.

It's one with enhanced lewd gameplay mechanics.

>>14709621

Wait.

This isn't that version.

There were so much of them, that I made mistake.

jesus. Any tips on how to raise charisma? I'd like to ride a horse or something but i can't hire another party member. I tried eating raw rings with +charisma but the materials for the scrolls are scarce. Skills like investing and persuasion are leveling pretty fast but they don't seem to raise it all that much. Without char rings+necklace i'd be stuck with just the little girl as party.

How do i git gud

Does playing https://www.kongregate.com/games/noanoa/elona-shooter count?

Have they fixed the warp gates just straight up crashing the game?

>>14710174

Charisma becomes useless late game, as almost everything associated with it will become capped pretty quickly.

Is there a mod somewhere that lets me start my own paladin order/trading company/assassin's guild?

>>14710769

nvm, my browser was just going berserk for some reason and not displaying that link specifically

>>14710781

For the sake of sufficiently paranoid anons, I'll clarify that BloodyShade is one of Elona Custom's main developers, that that URL goes to his personal server (browsers will probably complain about it being a self-signed HTTPS server), and that this can all be confirmed by checking the Elona Custom Release Thread here:

http://elona.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:25014

>>14709532

I don't think I'm on custom. I'm on 1.76 fix

>>14711765

That's not ntr though, he's literally refusing to.

>>14710174

Paying prostitutes trains charisma, if you finish the act. However it costs money, cant be done too many times in a row because it tires you, and there is a risk of catching a disease.

The most reliable way is to eat lot of putit corpses, not sure if your cooking skill affects it tho. If you have a farm just start raising them.

Haven't played in years, so most of the mods are new to me. Last I played, I remember ELM being the best because Elona+ wasn't translated enough and didn't have all the new stuff it has now.

Are any of the other mods worth playing now aside from Custom?

>>14711794

Ntr attempt*

Made me proud of the nord that he told the blood sucker to fuck off.

>>14711876

The only translated mods that I'm aware of are Custom (which is just E+ with more stuff translated, the story cutscenes restored, a pet AI programming system, and some quality of life features, plus the occasional bugfix) and Omake (although apparently Omake Overhaul is being worked on).

I'm not familiar with Omake, personally. It's probably good, but I don't want to give up Itzpalt's Sculpture or custom pet AI.

>>14710174

eat engagement rings made raw for potential.

wear engagement rings early game to keep the desired number of pets.

make sure all make sure your potentials for stats and skills are very high if you hope to get stats.

best early charisma gains come from investing in shops. (x50) might get you 1-2 points per click.

keep spamming your music, when you get ensemble skill you will be able to do shows and get paid instead of being laughed at.

>>14711876

the reason people use Elona custom as a patch on Elona plus is because it lets you set the AI on your pets so they can range or cast spells.

I'm trying to download the latest version (after backing up my save of course) but the download is slow as fuck and cancels at random. Any idea why this is? Also, any word on my previous question ( >>14710750 )?

Why is being a farmer so profitable with the harvest quests

and also why is combat so shit in comparison

>>14715582

You won't really start making money at combat-oriented quests until somewhat higher levels unless you take the ones where you escort somebody's gf (forget what they're called)

>>14715582

Because farmers are all about the hoe!

But seriously, farming's the shit, especially with ranching. I can go back and forth between my farm, my ranch and my house just farming stuff, butchering some animals, cooking all of it and just as I sell everything, there's a new batch of plants and animals to harvest.

Seriously, shit's ridiculous, I almost wish you could hire servants to do it for you and automate this.

Everytime I leave the farm to do some dungeon delving I feel like I'm wasting my plants\animals.

>>14715639

No, no, no, no no! Those are the quests you definitely do not want! Whenever you take the "gf escort" quests, there will ALWAYS be a fight before you reach your destination with some high level dudes.

Instead, there's the simple escort quests where you will only fight at most the normal ambushes you get from traveling and there's also the "Before it's too late!" quests that are essentially the same thing but they pay a truckload of money. Just be sure to check the time and destination before you accept them.

The one thing that's disapointing me a bit is that Plat is somewhat harder to get from dungeon delving than from doing simple requests in town. In order to keep potential up, I'll need several coins, but going down a dungeon with several levels and being given a single Plat to finish it? That's kinda bullshit…

>>14715582

>>14715639

>>14715917

When you get to somewhat high level (50+) you can do the last hunting requests on the list which are usually 20-30k and give about 3 plat each. At that point "beauty and the beast" requests can give up to 90k but the enemies will be over level 100 and can instagib your escort.

Speaking of money, there's a way to do those impossible 2 days quests that require you to go from noyel to port kapul or derphy. You can earn 30-50k even at level 1 and it just costs you a scroll of return, to get back to your starting cave, and 10 karma.

I'm also making a lot with a putit ranch, i started breeding one with decent meat and now most drop 2 corpses, which i can turn into 5 jerky each that sells for around 700. Doesn't seem like much but in total i can make around 30k per week, per ranch if i get more. It's a lot more profitable than a farm which i'm having troubles sustaining the seeds, even with 58 gardening. At best i'm making 10k every 10-15 days because of rain and shitty RNG with the seeds from the quests, i'm mostly getting vegetable ones.

>>14716027

I'm pretty sure putitoros sell for more than 700.

Can you imagine an online version of it?

As someone starting the game, is it possible to start as a farmer but use magic as a main form of murder?

>>14721552

>tiny meat replica

I think it's more like mind crushing the enemies and having their vegetating corpse around. Seems like an alternative to taxidermy roleplay to me.

>>14721674

Any character can be anything eventually, although you might end up having to join multiple guilds to pick up various skills.

In your case, I'd go for Elea Farmer. Elea start out with spellcasting skills regardless of class.

>>14721674

Fairy pianist with gardening as his first skill pick.

Gives all the mage skills and gives you the only farming skill in the game. Low constitution and strength but it's not like con is hard to grind up.

>>14723206

>What do messages about adventurers getting named items mean? Do they get dungeon loot and exclusive one time only items or just roll for item drops potentially duplicating guaranteed rare rewards?

This is the only question I can adequately answer. Those adventurers are NPCs and the named items are artifact items. Each artifact is unique but I think more get made as time goes on. Once an NPC adventurer has an artifact, you need to buy it from them, kill them, or convince them to join your party and then take it from them.

>>14723268

>Each artifact is unique

What does make an artifact unique and what does it matter if more get created as the game progresses?

The question is more related to the urgency of ones actions than to a particular nature of the specific mechanic.

>>14723295

For most artifacts, doesnt matter since they're randomly generated. There are unique artifacts that can spawn on Adventurers and you need to steal it from them. They're usually thief related too.

>>14723295

An artifact is like any other piece of equipment except it comes with a shit ton more modifiers attached to it. As far as I know, it's a random set of modifiers that can sometimes clash. It's rare to find an artifact where everything it does is good for your build, so while there isn't much urgency, you still want to see as many as you can.

>>14723295

Also, artifacts displayed in your home bring up the ranking and raw artifacts are good things to eat.

>>14723206

>Where do I get a rack of potions?

Buy in medium-ranked general shop, at random in dungeons or learn and use pickpocket to steal it if you find it in town.

>Where do I farm consistently for inherently cursed weapons that could roll "it hampers your growth."?

Raise faith skill and favor with gods to very high number ~6000?.

You will get most powerful training items possible.

>Do god pets use your charisma based party size limit as well as a faith one or just a faith one?

They are affected by both. To get all god pets you need 80 Faith skill.

>What do messages about adventurers getting named items mean? Do they get dungeon loot and exclusive one time only items or just roll for item drops potentially duplicating guaranteed rare rewards?

NPC adventurers get random generated artefacts after specific number of turns.

>How do I distinguish between generic appropriate to the stage enemies and rng spawns of hell without manually checking every single enemy via targeting?

If that monster isn't in B1F-B2F of puppy cave, just assume it could kill you.

It only applies to hostile ones.

>Is failing a cast more efficient than just casting a spell, stock wise?

Nope. It's even worse.

>>14723206

>Where do I get a rack of potions?

Try the Embassy just north of Palmia. It has a couple of shops that only carry furniture.

>Where do I farm consistently for inherently cursed weapons that could roll "it hampers your growth."?

What possible purpose could something like that have for you? Did you read an outdated guide that says you need to stay low level to avoid being slaughtered by bandits? Leveling is purely beneficial in E+/EC, unless you're trying to reach South Tyris as a L1 Mutant with the aid of some inherited ~L200 monsters or something.

>Do god pets use your charisma based party size limit as well as a faith one or just a faith one?

Charisma determines how big of a party you can have. (Escorted NPCs and pets waiting at an inn count against the limit.) Faith determines whether you can receive another god pet if you already have god pets in your party.

>What do messages about adventurers getting named items mean?

The item in question has been added to their inventory.

>Do they get dungeon loot and exclusive one time only items or just roll for item drops potentially duplicating guaranteed rare rewards?

There's no limit on fixedart generation. If you pick up a unique item that's already in your inventory, it'll turn into useful stardust. (Or into a randart if you're on an old version.) I'm fairly certain the dungeon itself is unaffected, or at least your "instance" of it. (Nefia are mysterious things.)

>How do I distinguish between generic appropriate to the stage enemies and rng spawns of hell without manually checking every single enemy via targeting?

If you notice symbols around an enemy's name in the message log (e.g. a {wandering penguin}), that's one of those hellspawn.

>>14723295

>What does make an artifact unique and what does it matter if more get created as the game progresses?

There are three kinds of items that you might consider "artifacts": <Miracle> items, {Godly} items, and Precious items. Miracle and Godly items are randomly generated ("randarts"), and Precious items have predetermined characteristics ("fixedarts"). If you notice that an adventurer has found one, you might be able to hunt them down and trade with them to get it for yourself, which could be easier than finding your own copy of, say, the Super Lure.

>>14723642

>wot

He was talking about these:

http://elona.wikia.com/wiki/Category:God_Jewels

They're basically weighted training gear for high-level players.

>Rolled for 30 times at least, didn't get any even once. It looks like they are limited to some extent since they never generated anything like training machines, high quality beds or cooking furniture either.

I'm pretty sure people have reported getting barbecue sets from there, although it probably does take investment.

>"The limit of the number of god pets you can possess is changed to one-tenth of your Faith, with a starting limit of 2."

Right, so if you have one god pet with you, you can receive a second one when praying with enough piety, but if you have two, you'd need at least 30 Faith to get a third. It's not really all that important since you can just drop pets off at the Doujou and they won't count as being in your party.

>I don't want to do a routine of paying taxes

I can understand that. Personally, I always buy a tax box from Miral; less of a pain that way. And there's the new pre-pay system, but I haven't tried out a version with it yet.

>>14725360

>Where do I farm consistently for inherently cursed weapons that could roll "it hampers your growth."?

Have you tried dropping everything but a weapon and reading a scroll of curse? It wouldn't work if you have the Exorcist feat, but it's the only alternative I can think of to trawling the Puppy Cave.

>Thank you for your answers, but I'm not asking an explanation for obvious things

Right, I'll put it as plainly as I can, then:

There's no "god pet party size" system or anything. Charisma determines max party size, and if your party already has multiple god pets in it, Faith determines whether or not you can be awarded another god pet.

>>14727069

stop being a scalie

>>14725548

>Have you tried dropping everything but a weapon and reading a scroll of curse?

Yes, though I did that to an identified item. Wiki says that trait can only be generated on inherently cursed items, so probably cursing an item won't do jack, unless the generation is done when the identification is complete.

Also, cursed item rate is pretty low, unless (and I don't know if that's how it is or not) it influences the quality of an item to be lower (great->good, good->bad, etc).

New player again. Is there any specific god to go for? I want to do magic mainly but I can't make up my mind.

>>14730014

You might find Itzpalt's Absorb Magic ability handy.

What's a good way to level pets? My little girl, level 16 with 197 DV, died in a fucking danger level 5 dungeon. What a fucking nigger. The pet i got from my god is also falling behind, it's still level 12 while i'm level 21.

>>14730014

>>14730793

Definitely worship Itzpalt at some point because his 2nd reward boosts the damage of your fire/ice/lightning spells by 25% permanently. Other than that Kumiromi and Lulwy are the typical late-game gods because stamina lets you use more abilities and speed lets you take more turns.

>>14731248

The usual method is Gene Engineering, although Juere Swordmen would only raise a pet to L15, and they're the highest-level slaves you can buy at L21.

I'd like to know just what killed your little girl, because 197 DV ought to be evasive enough to survive in a L5 dungeon. Was it a roomful of spellslingers? Chain explosions from a swarm of kamikaze monsters? A Big Daddy? Did she fall into a well?

>>14731802

No wells. No big daddies. No kamikaze swarm. I was steamrolling through the dungeon for some loot and by the time i noticed she disappeared the log was already full. I checked back in town at the pub guy and it confirmed it, she was ded. I have no clue what happened.

I'll look into gene engineering i guess, maybe level some more myself until i can get better slaves.

>>14731248

>>14731918

What I do besides gene engineering is getting their potentials high with large picnic baskets then hopping into a dungeon with just 1 pet and let them kill everything. It works decently well assuming you're willing to put the time in to grind them. Also make sure you gene engineer travelling on all your pets if they don't already have it, that shit gives you massive amounts of exp

>>14732394

I should mention I usually make sure the dungeon is about 2-3 levels lower than the pet, preferably, just for safety's sake. Pet's dying usually isn't a big deal but letting it happen enough times makes them tsundere and they stop making tasty breakfasts for you

So where are the lewd sprites at? :V
