* Enemies are scaled to your character level and playing to avoid gaining experience is the best way to manage dealing with them until your skills and magic develops. | |||
* The easiest start is probably a Yerles Archer. Ranged combat is very useful, and the Cyber Dome near the start has two firearm shops and a Mani of Machine altar. | * The easiest start is probably a Yerles Archer.

* The little girl is the best starting "pet" as she has the most slots for equipment. If you need more assistance, other human pets can be purchased from the slave market in Derphy. | * The little girl is the best starting "pet" as she has the most slots for equipment.

* Give every pet you bring with you a wing or "floating bit" gear to avoid traps and deaths from falling into the well. It happens when they try to drink from it. | |||
* Leashes and stethoscopes can be applied once to keep your pets nearby and keep track of their health, then dropped to free up space. | * Leashes and stethoscopes can be applied once to keep your pets nearby and keep track of their health, then dropped to free up space. | ||

* Static maps (towns and fixed dungeons) contain small medals, which are found by searching any square that shows a *twinkle* (searching also shows a different message if there's one nearby). Small medals can also be found in treasure chests and safes. These medals can be turned in at the workshop on the far right side of the map for different things, the most important of which are the unique artifacts, the potion of Hermes' Blood (boosts speed - bless before drinking!), and eventually the Void Explorer's License, which opens the absurd bonus dungeon. | * Static maps (towns and fixed dungeons) contain small medals, which are found by searching any square that shows a *twinkle* (searching also shows a different message if there's one nearby).

* In terms of common mistakes: The bar in Vernis, the first town, contains two things: a piano, and <Loyter> Crimson of Zanan, a very high-level NPC who is noted for specializing in throwing weapons and hating music. Performing there (or at any party he shows up at) is basically instantly fatal. On the plus, that means free items when he murders every bard who tries to approach the piano! | * In terms of common mistakes: The bar in Vernis, the first town, contains two things: a piano, and <Loyter> Crimson of Zanan, a very high-level NPC who is noted for specializing in throwing weapons and hating music.

* I should note that he gets away with this because no one cares when you kill bards. Or <Gwen> the Innocent for that matter. Feel free to murder her every time you enter Yowyn and then fill your museum with countless copies of her statue and card, and your fridge with countless copies of her corpse. | * I should note that he gets away with this because no one cares when you kill bards.

* Wait to gamble until you get a Lucky Day, then get as many 4-5 win blackjack streaks as you can. Stopping there almost guarantees a potion of cure corruption, which are more valuable than the equipment it gives you at higher wins (exception: wings, because those are stupidly overpriced/valued). | * Wait to gamble until you get a Lucky Day, then get as many 4-5 win blackjack streaks as you can.

It still has a chance of swallowing your pets when they steal a drink, so maybe save-scum here a little bit. | ||
* Wishes become harder to acquire the more you make of them and their odds only improve by one after an entire year. Pets share that counter with you. No cheating. | |||
* If your treasure map shows nothing but snow, congratulations, the game hates you. | * If your treasure map shows nothing but snow, congratulations, the game hates you. On the other hand, there are a few places that are devoid of anything. | ||
* The regular version of Elona has long been discontinued, but there are multiple versions being updated constantly, such as Elona Plus. Each of them completely changes how the game plays out. | |||
