Elin - Faith & Worship Guide | I'm a Believer Now

[@pesci20002010]

This random dude is solocarrying all of us newbies, I worship you Kessel of Tutorials.

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

haha thank you!

[@hestiashearth478]

ikr, there's just not enough info on the internet. everyone's still trying to learn the game

[@MrNo0p]

you can also press ctrl + f and you can search for every object and person on the map you are on

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

That is really great feature, thank you!

[@salnightingale]

Thank you for these guides they’re the only ones that exist in English 😭 Please please do one on combat! How weapon damage is calculated and what the different stats on a weapon do… What is +dmg, +hit? What’s the multiplier at the bottom? I can’t tell what gear is better or worse lol. Thanks!

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

Thank you! I will do my best to cover combat but it may take me some extra time.

[@PsTymier]

Holy yeah specially on bows and enhancement slots. I got a bow with 5 slots and 0 occupied 😅

[@lotusgaming4650]

1.Let take an example of pantsu dmg: "2d8 + 3" maximiun dmg you can deal: (2 x 8 = 16 dmg) + 3 = 19 dmg. So, the temporarily biggest dmg at the moment is 19 dmg. You can deal more if your strength is higher. 2. About materials dmg and PV / DV, take a look at here: ylvapedia.wiki/wiki/Elin:Materials

[@AnD1262]

It's set out as "2d3+1" right? Simply it's 2 rolls of a 3 sided die + 1 damage, the X 2.00 is an increase due to your skill I think it changes the damage roll into 4d6+2 for my example. +/- hit is the inherent accuracy of the weapon, pen is how much armour it will ignore. Take my whole comment with a grain of salt as I'm using my knowledge of ELONA to answer, i look to equip stuff with a high first number and +dmg number it gives higher minimum and average damage, the consensus however was that higher armour pen was the go to, gear with extra effects is also something to look out for

[@codebreaker1o119]

It's similar to dnd or other ttrpgs you roll the 2 d3s and add +1 to the value then thats the damage the on hit however is uknown to me.

[@Skay24]

19:50 There is a item "sun lamp" that give you sunlight. There are 2 lamps. And you can cultivate fields inside with a roof on top.

Thank you so much! I appreacite it! ;)

[@makeeye2867]

fantastic guide some other errata: the god you worship will be more angry if you abandon them with high piety, and at higher piety, god's wrath can last a lot longer altars will never appear in furniture shops and i think you can't even wish for them either altar weight is based on what it's made of; i think horome's altar is the lowest weight because its made of dawn cloth, but not her unique altar at nefu village, which is way heavier and you can't steal it anyway

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

Those are some fantastic points. Thank you! Oh I'd really love to have one of these shinto-like shrines in my settlement!

[@RaNikstar]

Weightlifting is most important skill. Why? Cos you need somehow survive the "weight" after you choose to change your god...

[@cinnamoonfang6104]

the punishment iron ball actually scales with your weight lifting so even if you're a snail or a fairy you can still survive it

[@RaNikstar]

@cinnamoonfang6104 Ow... So this thing is good for TRAIN weightlifting. Good to know)

[@arcanumelite4853]

@@RaNikstar yeah its always 50% of your max weight no matter what that max weight is... or you can just be a demigod and be completely immune to this punishment.

[@Momijie]

Look at the adjacent tiles around your base, they usually have a shrine, if you don't mind being squashed you can get an altar back to your base by picking it up on the world map when standing on top of your base.

[@Zarkyun]

You have a very good start to your channel here. Good voice, you are a pretty good speaker, and your videos are very informative. You've got my sub.

Another great guide from you, Kessel! Thank you for making this. It would be fantastic if you could do a let's play because I love how clearly you explain things.🙂

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

Thank you for the suggestion. I might do it at some point. It would be cool if we could come up with some end goal for the playthough. So far I'm mostly hanging around my base and all the cities in the world. I'm not sure how exciting that would be to watch ;)

[@fishamus1306]

Really enjoying your informative guides

[@dearboothworld1730]

As always, thank you for these helpful guides!

[@lenhartica2371]

It's worth noting the burdens weight is based on your carry weight. If u are worshipping opatos of the earth make sure you prepare for an incredibly heavy ball. Clear your inventory and unequip carry weight boosting gear before switching gods.

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

I haven't even thought about it. This is a really great piece of advice. Thank you!

[@lenhartica2371]

@@Rainner_Von_Kessel Also worth mentioning that most companions will switch gods with you but apostles will not. they will remain loyal to whatever god they belong too. meaning that the faction weapons you gain from following a god are often best in slot for the companion of the same god. I havnt tested this aside from opatos but i do believe if you give the cat the lucky dagger then switch gods you can still get the luck boost. I could be wrong but its worth exploring.

[@OliviaHubbell-db8nj]

Oof, I need you to make new videos, I like listening to you talk in the background while I play. I’ve now watched every video and a couple twice lol. Thanks for the videos.

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

That is really great to hear, thank you so much for the words of encouragement! I've been a bit busy with Christmas preparations but I will be back to content making very soon! Thank you for reading :)

A fellow Worshiper of Kumiromi, nice to see! Thank you for the guide, i was wondering how to get an alter to my base lol

[@LittleJonn3490]

Thanks a ton for these videos, they are a life saver Could you perhaps do a guide on tourism and heirlooms, room quality etc, touching on the policies, how to efficiently raise your tourism value and what heirlooms even are? I'm accumulating quite the collection of statues and cards and it'd be nice to know what I'm doing. Also, discord server when??

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

Thank you for the suggestion, it's definitely a great topic worth covering (and tourism/ high home ranking are probably quite profitable!). Well, we are a super tiny channel at the moment. Once we get a bit more subscribers, it would be a fantastic idea to have a place to hangout together - like a discord server.

[@awitness4jehovah]

Thank you, once again, for another great guide

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

Thank you! I'm glad it could aid you! In regards to identification, Mani's blessing provides you with a skill 'apprising'. This allows you to identify items in your possession over time. You can also unlock this skill at the tinkers camp (Noyel) without worshipping Mani.

[@HansenSWE]

I can't even get my residents to do anything. They're "working" but they don't do anything. Fishermen don't produce fish. Cleaners don't clean. I don't seem to understand how the signs work, so i end up doing everything myself. How am I supposed to use the various signs I can place? That is basic base-building that I don't understand

[@HansenSWE]

your other videos seems to help. its too late for me to test, but i will try after work tomorrow

[@cinnamoonfang6104]

You will never see your residents actually doing 'work' . as for them producing anything, you actually have to make a shared storage for them to store to, they all just go to shipping box without it. As for the shared storage you have to manually edit the distributions for it so they all just don't dump everything in a single box. you need to put a lot of storage boxes for different categories as well as the appropriate sign for it.

[@goetworks]

[@pockets8548]

I recommend a mod that does little popups for when you get exp for a skill in the workshop. it's like when you grind skills in runescape and can help newer players see what skills they are training when doing things

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

I could actually use this mod as well. Thank you! Really anything that provides more insights into how gears turn.

[@clever-ruse]

This! We need a mod where you are added as a god to worship now.

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

haha that made me laugh. I'm afraid I'm not a catgirl though ;)

[@Propietario283]

How do you travel so far from the start? It takes days to reach any city and by that point all your food supplies are gone, you are tired and sleepy… not to mention occasional attacks from wildlife.

[@cinnamoonfang6104]

you can buy travel rations from innkeepers for 15 orens, they provided 51 nutrition, usually bringing you from starving/very hungry to normal

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

Yes, as @cinnamoonfang6104 has suggested you can either buy travel rations from inkeepers or you can make them in your base with a 'ration maker'! Hope it helps ;)

[@Allmyf4ult]

You can do it! I believe in you :)

[@sunnyshey8615]

How do i steal an object when I'm being squashed? I can't die with it because it overflows from my inventory? I only got a statue by chance from a ramdom package from the mail. Like if its from a dungeon or something.

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

There are two ways to go about this: 1. You can find a statue in the wild, claim a land with a deed, place a delivery box (works only in the land you have already claimed) and finally ship the statue to your main base via delivery box). 2. Claim a land adjacent to the land where statue is (like a neutral land next to truce grounds), throw all statues to a single tile on the map border, pick everything up, leave the area & die while doing so (now the statues are on the world map), pick up the items from the adjacent tile while on the world map. Hope it helps :)

@@Rainner_Von_Kessel thanks I'll try it next time

[@benjamingoodwin3737]

Lulwy of wind buffs speed, which is nearly (if not totally) impossible to permanently raise without her help, and grants you more turns/actions in comparison to the NPCs around you. The S tier god for combat IMO even if your build doesn't care about bows or evasion. (I think you can also functionally raise your speed by using a fast mount, you could in Elona+, but I haven't played with those mechanics in Elin and I'm guessing that grinding riding skill is at least as big of a pain in the ass as grinding faith.)

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

Thank you for letting me know! I will defniately try on my other character. haha yes, the grind is real!

[@zhugemeister8219]

Great guide!

[@Voitan]

That farm layout... I remember you in the threads. 😄

[@wagz781]

The reason the gods felt absent in bg3 is likely because it was based on 5e, which has moved as far away from gods as possible without actually getting rid of them. This is compounded in the latest rewrite of the rules for the 2024 edition.

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

You are absolutely right about that. BG3 was great but I'm certainly not a huge fan of the 5th edition as compared to the old school stuff.

[@MrRavenXavier]

What button are you pressing to bring up all those destinations on the map? That list of towns/places?

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

Once you get out into the world map you get an additional 'map' icon next to your journal icon. You can also middle mouse button yourself and press an option to fast travel. You do need travel rations to do so. Hope it helps!

[@mblade01]

What are the basic things you can do to increase admin points to allocate more policies? Aside from the usual upgrading your hearthstone that is. From what I have gathered I have seen that there is a book that allows me to use gold bars to get more admin points though I have been going around towns checking every scholar and haven't found that book.

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

To the best of my knowledge, you can also increase your admin points through residents. One of the hobbies resident can get is called a 'pet'. It provides public safety and adminitration point to your base. It does require a cat house or a cat tower for residents to be able to perform the job. You can change jobs/ hobbies of *most* of your residents by using a 'whip of love' on them. Hope it helps!

[@mblade01]

I somehow missed that the pet also gives administration like Lyotel, thanks for the reminder. I was progressing the story on my first character and ran into a minor issue where Lyotel left the main base and thus I lost some admin points for policies I wanted to enact.

[@ajcolligan4927]

another great guide! thank you, do you have a mod for the cloak your character is wearing?

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

Thank you! So I'm currently playing without any mods. The clock is implemented in the game together with many other customisation options not available during character creation. The way for you to get it is to interact with furniture like a 'mirror table'. You might find one in the castle of Mysylia. I'm sure that the King won't mind ;)

[@Zidminder]

I'm a little confused about something does piety progress is saved each time we give a offering or i have like to stack a massive amount of offerings and give it to the respective god in one go?

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

Hi there! I believe it is saved so you don't have to hoard your offerings. Let say you have 100/100 piety, you increase your faith and now you have 100/120 piety.

[@Zidminder]

@@Rainner_Von_Kessel Oh i see thanks

[@radonstone]

If it's like in Elona, Kumiromi will be the "best" pick for the early/mid/end game stat boosting food farming/cooking.

[@Rainner_Von_Kessel]

Unfortunately, ether disease is quite an extensive mechanic, I will try to do a video on the issue at some point. For the moment, your best bet is to get an ‘ether antibody’. It is quite a rare and expensive item. It will either cost you chips at the casino (Palmia), ecopo tickets (Yowyn) or small medals at the workshop. There are also few ways to decrease the buildup of it.

[@RenoKyrie]

Based on my experience with Elona(Specificly Elona+, also that version has Yacatect and Eyth is basically the default God the player have since it also mean Atheism) Mani is great for Ranged Builds, really good Ranged supports and some of the Machine related things are great Opatos is great to have for ANY build that focus on being frontliner, not just Tanks Lulwy is *SPEED* and *SPEED* is quite the important stat, as of now i do realize getting that stat is MUCH rarer in Elin than Elona and Elona+(For good reasons) Kumiromi is great for Farmer build(And really simple way of gaining fast money and food which all increase your stat) Ehekatl is for.... gamblers who want to minmax everything, but at least what she does is great majority of the time Itzpalt is for full spellcaster builds Jure is the ACTUAL Tank build you think Opatos was As for the new Gods in Elin, my take on them are Kizuami is if you REALLY love Debuffs on enemies(Its a good one) Horome is if you like to do fights with multiple party members and if you are a Spellblade Yevan is your Berserker build, he makes Opatos look like a Generalizer
