Yes, it does. Some of the messages are about the NPC adventurers native to your game, but others are actual players.

My bells are getting crushed in Elona+, they used to be so good in vanilla and pretty much tanked the gods for me if I remember right. These days I lose 1-3 per quest.

I think my domination plans to get an uber mount or something cool as an ally are dashed, level 57 and can't dominate a level 80 monster even with the monster heart. Never seen a poke ball over 100 so guess I'm screwed.

Also how do I check my favor with a god? Still getting back into the game and not sure if I ever got the final reward from the god of harvest, kinda want that before switching to the plat making GBS threads goose.

A word of warning to folks trying Elona+, it features a very solid difficulty wall about a quarter of the way through the added story mode. I've found that I've been either butchering everything or going splat at the drop of a hat.

Don't even get me started on acquiring God Hearts for my pets. I had to sic a god on Estork just to get a hold of one.

Isn't there a bloke in the casino of Melkawn that sells monster balls? Just invest in his shop a bunch and you should get what you want.

His third gift is the Scythe of Kumiromi, so check your stash... unless you lost it somehow. v:shobon:v Otherwise, pray once, and if he doesn't give it to you just make offerings to him until the message pops up. Vegetables aren't really in short supply anyway, especially with the cute fairy in tow.


And you can take stuff from moongate areas if they're generated while you're there, I think. Like drops from anything that dies there.

I'm dumb and am still just tooling around in the first location, getting plat and leveling spells so haven't really touched the new stuff.

Great to know about monster balls in Melkawn though, that may save me a ton of grinding.

Speaking of the new locations, how do you get return to work there? Start the main quest I guess? Only read a bit about it on the wiki and it sounds scary, what with the place that etherwinds you.

You can't take anything with you, and believe me I checked. The bank was one inside the moon gate and I couldn't pick it up but it broke just fine after a (b)ash. I figure it's either some technicality where the gold which was generated only after breaking the bank didn't count, or maybe gold is just always pick-upable?

Pretty much the former. If it's generated after you arrive, it's fair game.

South Tyris counts as a entirely separate overworld map, so you can't use return to go back to your home in North Tyris. You can, however, eventually acquire a second home (sort of) in South Tyris after jumping through some hoops.

Here's a map of South Tyris along with the english names (spoiler alert, naturally):

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

e: ^^^ - Birthday/I want it!/delivery quests, especially if you don't have Pickpocket. It'll save you time and effort to have at least one on hand for an easy plat and some good cash, and on delivery quests you deliver solely the empty for a free full wand (you lucky dog). Sell the rest, of course. Granted, I don't know they're targets of such quests for a fact, but hell if that's an opportunity one would want to miss out on.

Snow maps are the worst. The treasures of the treasure maps are great but goddammit I'm not digging up half the countryside to try and find one if even squinting at the world maps online don't help identify where the stupid cache actually is.
