I dl'd the new 1.14 and when I start it it just hangs there... I tried to follow the link for the fix but it autojumps me to a site where it's all in japanese and I'm at a total loss there. Any ideas?
Edit: Nevermind, I installed to a new directory and it works, just moving my saves over now.
What was the fix? that sounds like the same problem I'm having. 1.14 starts up, and then sits there not responding at a black screen.
Rename the old Elona directory to something else, install the new one, and copy over your saved files. That's what I did to get it to work.

well, no luck with that. i have 2 directories atm, one for 113 and one for 114. 113 works without issue and 114 black screens. i thought it might be that the processor is just that bad on this comp, but then i found out that it's running on a 3 ghz intel pentium 4 chip. it might not be great (and i can vouch for that, damn i hate work comps) but it shouldn't have a problem with something like elona.
Hey guys does killing stuff with a cold weapon destroy their drops too?
I may be wrong on this, but it seems that cold damage only destroys potions while fire destroys other drops.
Incidentally, fire damage can cook food - a fire hound once turned a quwapana I was carrying into quwapana sherbet. I haven't tried firebolting food yet to see if this always works.
Another random tidbit: I saw a kitty bank (500 million per deposit) today.

It works. "Always", no -- but cast it enough times and it'll cook. Keep in mind that it also starts a fire on the food, so the food may suddenly turn to dust before the fire goes out.
Gets put in the kitty bank. It's analogous to a piggybank, the old-school kind. You put money in, it doesn't come out until you smash the bank by 'T'hrowing it, at which point all the money comes out (and the bank is destroyed).
The advantage to bigger value banks is that every increment of money you add to a bank increases its weight by 0.1. 500 banks add 0.1 every time you add 500 gold, 10K banks add 0.1 every time you add 10K gold.
It's not a tremendous advantage if you just leave it in your home, because you can pick up anything, no matter how heavy, and throw it.

Is there a list of the monsters and their levels somewhere? I've got balls of various levels and have no idea what each is supposed to be able to catch.
So uhm, is there a 1.14 version in English? I DL'd the one from the Elona page but it was in Japanese, even after (I thought) I switched the language setting to English.

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
Okay, I've been playing this game for a while now, and have gone through numerous restarts. (Etherwind, Kobold shield-bashing me, etc...) Most recently, my character starved to death on the world map immediately after stepping out of a town because of one of those random events that makes your character very hungry. ...I was playing as that race that has slow digestion, too. Last time I leave town while my hunger's at normal status.
I'm doing much better with my Fairy Pianist, though. My current strategy is to cut up enemies with my shuriken, then run circles around them while they bleed and my army of pets maul them. I also managed to find this thing on one of the beggars loitering around town:
I also found that catching beggars in the port town with pokeballs is a quick and easy way to finish the mad scientist quest. :P
I also managed to find this thing on one of the beggars loitering around town:
Beggars, Nobles, and Bards each have an artifact that can be randomly found on them that only varies slightly from game to game. *shrug*
Just FYI, the protection from <blank> doesn't seem to be 100% effective. I've had thieves take money from characters with the Beggar's Pendant equipped.
I've restarted a whole bunch of times, but that's just what I do when I feel like something isn't right with my character. For instance, when my karma dropped into the basement because I'd taken a bunch of delivery quests, only to lose access to my mental facilities and sell all the items I was delivering to one of those random merchants on the road. I've also restarted to try different classes and such.
Most recently I've been dabbling with the Warmage, and I don't think I care much for the magic system in this game. I can't cast very many spells in a row, and the few I can cast seem to fail more often than not. Furthermore, it kinda sucks that even after I've 'learned' spells, they go away after awhile, forcing me to keep all these damned spellbooks if I want to re-learn the spell later.
I've mainly found myself playing my Warmage much as I played my archer: I run around shooting at enemies, using superior run speed to keep away from them while whittling them down. I generally only cast spells to raise my casting skill, not because I think anything useful is going to come of it.
Combat magic currently isn't very effective, and scales really badly. Until it gets fixed, it's likely to remain a support skill only.
Seriously. I usually like a mage-type character due to not having to keep stocks of arrows or daggers or whatever, and this seems ineffective and a hassle to boot.
So uh, apparently this crossbow I got in my store moneybox is alive. o_O
Living crossbow
Living items gain experience and level up. You gotta be careful though because they can gain new abilities that might not be good like bloodsucking.
It just leveled up to level 2. Pretty much once it hits 100% xp in the stats page, you have to go 'Use' it from the menu. It'll say something like "The crossbow has had it's fill of blood and is ready to grow" or something like that, and it actually took off like 80% of my health - but it let me choose what stat I wanted it to develop.
Have only read up to page 42 so sorry if this is redundant, but made an awesome discovery this morning. You know that moongate that leads to the place with all the people strung up, and when you try to kill them they just won't die?
If you "I" for interact with one of them you get an option "release" -- when they are released they run away from you.
Are these little sisters? Can you capture them in little balls? If so, and you need to catch little sisters, this is the place to do it!
I've realized that if this game wants to be so open-ended(As in, I don't have much to do, pretty much beaten everything that won't destroy me), I'm going to learn magic.
Magic is fun, even starting with none :P
Edit: Also, I have 35 small medals, and I'm not sure what I should spend them on/save up for.
Invisible enemies piss me off. They're just... there. Here's what you do: press * and just check every square. You can't see them, but you can feel them out.
After god only knows how long, I've finally managed to buy myself the Small Castle and I'm pimping it out. Also was given the Black Angel from my god as a reward and she kicks all kinds of ass.
Now since I don't have to worry about saving up money for a new home, I can finally go and nuke Palmia. :twisted:

This game worked fine on my old PC, but now I have a Vista desktop and it won't start. I try to run it, and it opens a notepad file, saying "Elona/error.txt does not exist, would you like to create it?" No matter what I do, it just leaves the empty notepad there and I get no game.
Wtf?
edit: It worked when I right-clicked the game's icon and clicked "Run as administrator." Vista is not growing on me so far.
Well it isn't cursed gear. So how do I fix said mutation/etherdisease? I'm guessing it is a mutation cause I remember drinking from a fountain that made my skin goosepimpled.
Potions of Cure corruption should do the trick, go to a casino and win 5 times in a row at blackjack.
I think its 5 times?
4 is the minimum and you'll almost always get a CC for winning 4. The rewards are still relatively random though. I once got 2 CC potions for winning 14, a miracle girdle at 9, and a piece of shit raw bolt for winning 21.

What happens to the money that i put in them?

The yeek was eating one of his siblings eggs when I got there.
Cooking, with magic.

does it just go away?

Maybe I just got lucky, but I've stayed with my first character, died a shit ton, but now am doing pretty damn well. Soldier through!

Not sure where you're getting a Catgirl Claymore.
Isn't her class Claymore when you check her information?
It doesnt matter what potion, you can see them after
