Elona: Part Roguelike, part JRPG, part Morrowind

Sorenson

Only way I can figure is to use Return right when you pick the sucker up and drop it right after you warp in. Pretty much every safe I've run into has been 300, so outside of insane Weight Lifting or cheating there's pretty much nothing you can do.

That said, I wonder how much of a pain it'd be to mod this sucker up. Some of it's brilliant, but some of it's downright maddening and unchecked.

I really, really want to know what that patch note about "fires breaking out on the world map" was about.

It'd be super awesome if it happened at some point in late game where all the towns where already turned into alien hives, and it seemed like the end of days.

Yeah, all the safes I've found have been 300 weight as well.
How much weight can you bear before it literally kills you? With the weight of 300 + my equipment and the other stuff I'm already carrying, I can't move, but I won't get hurt.

When I get to the "Overweight!" status I can still move and my HP starts to take hits like every five steps or so. Given long enough I'd die under the own weight of my useless loot.

If you have enough hp regen you can actually shoulder that damage without incident, but don't try going up or down any stairs.

On a related note, does anyone know if being burdened effects your ability to fight?

RedThorn

It does, it lowers your speed which means less turns.

Becoming

This game is pretty damn fun, although the difficulty curve early on could use some adjusting.

Arrath

You sleep! You mutate! Your brain is mechanized!

O_o Uh..okay. Is there the whir of tape drives when I think now?

korodullin

So, I had to make a delivery to a guard in Lumiest. No biggie, right? Well, turns out the guard I had to deliver my doohickey to spawned on a small 3x2 patch of land adjoining the Elder's house, but surrounded on all other sides by water. What did I do? I dug through the fucking wall, that's what.

Also, which type of vendor can sell cloth armor? I need some for my Wizard now that I've eaten my meat robe.

Sorenson

Do dungeons reset or something? I just noticed while putzing along the road that some of the places I swear I've cleared out no longer have the crown above them.

EDIT: Nobody really specific as far as I know, it's just the luck of the die on what stores pack.

Fats

Joining the fighter's guild appears to make all services everywhere half price. Not sure if that's intended, but it's nice.

The puppy dungeon's randomly generated. Some other ones might be, too. And it seems completely new dungeons can just crop up from time to time.

What do you get for joining the Mage's Guild?

I accidentally paved over my ranch's drydock...

But my performance is almost to the point where buying another one won't be too much of an inconvenience.

Trevor Goodchild

What classes/race are you guys having most success with? Right now I'm doing a Norland (extra race) War Mage and the magic definitely helps against the stronger mobs at the start.

PS. Shena has a fine ass.

Raslin

I'm an archer, forget what race(the technological one, first choice). With a good gun and ammo, I kill pretty damn well. I kinda wish I had gone mage though, as I get so many spellbooks and spells taught while sleeping.

Dr Snofeld

I'd like to play as a performer but whenever I try I get killed by the slime things that the tutorial guy summons. Am I doing it wrong?

taliosfalcon

The only class i've had success with is warrior, playing as a mage I do awesome until my spells hit overcast, which is usually halfway through the first floor of a dungeon,t hen i'm fucked, playing as an archer I just do so little damage i'm fucked period. As a warrior the only things that rape me are ranged guys, which, while still not ideal is better than being raped by everything

randombattle

I've got a claymore going up the levels fairly well. The only other class I've had any luck with is the warmage.

Trevor Goodchild

Those performer clowns are a pain in my ass. They kill me more now then the Kobolts or demons. They're so weak I never want to waste a spell on them, so I just chase them and get ground down.

Keidrych

Where can I get a new piano? Mine disappeared from my home. . .

Trevor Goodchild

I have an Ax of fire, which is neat until that shit starts spreadin' and burning all your valuables away.

Kobold: HUUUUUGS

vhzod

if you join one guild can you join a different one later?
man and I can't figure out what skill I should get next

taliosfalcon

Do stats atrophy? My Archers strength and con are dropping at an alarming rate, without anything having happened to him. (no poison, etherstorms, etc) and i'm wondering if its just from lack of use ?

Sorenson

What's your diet? Eating stuff raw will allegedly hurt your stats and skills, so getting even one point of cooking is worth it.

'specially when you're spelunking and happen to be a cannibal.

vegeta_666

I think I somehow I messed up my first character.

Was a something Claymore and was doing fine until I got caught in a Etherstorm or whatever they are called. Suddenly, I have a carapace, feathers, poison dripping off my hands and the urge to kill everything. I also am cursed all over so I teleport around like a madman.

It is awesome and horrible at the same time.

Makes sense and there is that stat restorer in every town. Should use that and see if it comes back.

vhzod

Does anyone know what gene engineering actually does?

Ninja Snarl P

Downloaded this, made a character, did the tutorial, and completely underestimated how serious the danger of being overburdened is. I picked up some of the garbage in my shack, stepped onto the world map for the first time, went 4 spaces... and was promptly crushed to death by my backpack.

After I respawn, I make sure to not be at all burdened and go back to the world map. I make it to within 3-4 spaces of the first town before I get ambushed. Unfortunately, I left my copper dagger back at the shack and was promptly murdered by the stupid performers.

Now I'm getting the hang of things, but somehow my bear just disappeared on me. I was ambushed, there was some fighting, we won... and now I'm in town and I have no bear. Any way to get it back?

taliosfalcon

geeze, the danger estimator thing is so useless "<Goda> The captain of orc- you will probably win"

ok, so i'll shoot him a few times, i'm standing on the stairs, worst case scenario he starts hurting me too much i run back up... the first time he hits me...

"<Goda> the captain of orc slashes you with his sword. Your are Severely hurt! You are frozen and turn into an ice sculpture. Good Bye"

This is the awesome thing about being a Claymore. You can load yourself up to crushing weight and run laps around with your healing factor topping you up every time you take damage thus giving you xp and free training in healing and various other skills. JUST LIKE DRAGON BALL Z!

UltimaGecko

So when I die with a negative karma apparently it's supposed to go up so that guards will stop attacking me; it does not.

I don't think it says anywhere that this is the case.

Anybody that learns the Healing skill can do that, though, right?

Or is it just super-buffed for the Claymore at the start?

Anyone with the healing skill high enough can survive overweight. Just helps that a Claymore starts with like 10 base healing.

Wiki states that it's supposed to go up by 10 every time the guards prawn you. Sadly, he's right and it's actually false.

I think it's only rotten and/or cursed that actively hurts them. Cooking should just improve the natural benefits of food.

Restoration should work if the numbers are decreasing and red. If they're not red...I'm not sure what's happening.

Once you're level 6, you're supposed to gain ten karma for being killed under a certain threshold. Balanced out by the chance to lose stats, skills, and money.

It's a complete pain to either reuild the karma or make it to level six if you're really weak. You're pretty much relegated to 'I want [shit]" quests in Delphy or escort missions from there. Maybe some stealth deliveries, but probably not.

Pata

There's a Sister in Noyel that can releive Karma for a price.

Children

How high does your performing skill need to be before people stop killing you when you play?

And does anyone have any expliots/tricks for making money? Or anything else?

Seriously this game is hard.

Captain Action

I've got a little girl to ??? fellow status, but I can't raise it any higher. Any clues? I wanna get married.

Esh

I waltzed into the Puppy Dungeon with my Warrior and got eaten alive. Too many monsters at once. Is this normal? Also, how do I equip my Little Girl?
