I vendored most of the gems (keeping only leveled and quality ones)... I got 208 ID scrolls and a sore arm.

Ayup, the A6 gem vendor sells all level 1 gems.

I didn't notice that O_o  I assumed vendor gem inventory level as you do.

** This is the sound of my 30+ alphabetically ordered gem tabs collapsing **

yeah... anything I put in the guild stash I fully expect to never see again.

kcwong, I feel your pain on the skill gems, I really do.  It took a _lot_ of effort to break my old habits... but I got there.  Now, I manage to keep the gems down to a quarter of my Misc Neat Things tab; just the noteworthy stuff I mentioned before.

I keep picking them up because there are new gems added... without consulting wiki I won't recognize them all, and without access to my stash I don't know how much I already have. My goal is to make sure I have enough number of each gem when I use them. I try to skip non-quality, really old gems for now.

I have 7 (1 of them quad) tabs for generic loot which I quickly dump things in to sort out later... and I have 5 other tabs for quickly dumping gems, 1 for quality gems and 1 for vaal gems.

Because I don't like to trade, I have 3 tabs to do chaos recipe as well. And I buy Masters' unique items, bro-deal or not.

I'm not seeing a tab with someone's name on it... maybe that's a parsing error?  or are you in hardcore?

I've got 7 showing Harbinger softcore: Gear - Rares - Flasks - Other - Uniques Uno (spanish 1) - Uniques Dos (spanish 2) - Add Only Storage

Ah, forgot to mention I'm in Standard. I play too little to start over again and again, I have some unique items I'd like to be able to use.

Gems...  unless they're special in some way (drop-only, +quality, or levelled beyond L14) you shouldn't deposit them, or even hold onto them.  Between Siosa and Lilly, most gems are easier to simply purchase when you need them.

I'm hopeless about this - a size 1 crystal thingy, so pretty, I can't resist picking them up <3
I sort my gems alphabetically - in a lot of premium pages. Active skills I have one row of each, save 3 spaces for Vaal version, good support gems I have two rows, all these gems in various levels so I always have some low and high level to choose from.

For general rules on the stash, it boils down to "don't be a jerk."  Drop off useful things when you can, grab what you need, but don't make any executive decisions around space use unless there's a proper issue with fullness.  With 7 guild tabs we didn't even come close to maxxing out in the front half of Harbinger, when more people were active.

But say if I take an unique item - is it a loan or can I keep it forever? This is complicated because of no. of sockets and links, and socket colors. I could take something to test for 5 minutes and destroy someone's build because I removed all the off-colors.

Do we have any rules regarding the guild stash? And one of the tab is someone's name, so I'm reluctant to take/put anything.

I also have a ton of skill gems and leveling uniques that would be useful for new players.

So I started playing the league again... my last time playing a league was Ambush. The breaches are potentially very deadly... they vary greatly, sometimes you have to hunt for things to kill, sometimes you get a screen full of mobs within seconds.

I was trying a summoner again (ES/HP SRS), since all those buffs. Reached normal act 3 and I realized she's not going to do well with breaches... I guess it's time to reroll.

But some of the "found PQ" missions are just as ball breakingly hard as the last game and with no stats to gain, I only have QQ Bangs and new moves to essentially improve. One mission is trying to keep Jaco alive while grade A asshole AI keeps you tied up in fight after fight after fight. Failed it a couple times and am a little discouraged.

So I dunno, may have just burned out a little too much this weekend. But the game went from feeling pretty vast to, well, less.

So it's like XV1 then... the last DLCs added some missions that just aren't realistic for solo. You can beat them, but not within that time limit.

I did a bunch of master quests to level up, punched the two great apes to death, and unlocked QQ bangs. Looks like it can be very powerful and expensive... I bought 2 Gohan's cloths and used an uncommon Hercule's badge and got a +max basic attack with -2 health and -1 ki super.

10
I'm still at a very new stage that I can't beat the double great apes... trying to grab tail often results in me being flung around, must be because of my stats too low.

So I'm now focusing on doing the training courses. I'm also exploring the city... boy is the first hovercraft difficult to steer when you boost.

Have anyone found any secrets? Near the mushrooms there's a NPC talking about a special mushroom... and I found many places really close to the "touch-me-and-you-respawn" boundary you can jump onto, like narrow ledges and giant mushrooms.

But some maps got traps. Really simple ones, but I fear it's just the tip of the iceberg.

One day we may have traps hiding under ice/burning ground/loads of particle effects. You will move and suddenly stop, wondering if you just lagged or did you got hit by a trap you simply cannot see, and before you realize your HP/ES has melted away because it's percentage damage per second.

so I made a thing.
Well, I guess I should take another look at mines. They didn't seem this good before.

Very interesting!

The build is expensive though, needing two Essence Worm to keep the damage up and other pieces to make up for the lost resistances in the ring slots.
It's... a bit expensive, yeah. I tinkered with a phys bow version in Prophecy, but haven't gotten it to quite the same level of capability (only have 5Ls lying around in Prophecy right now).

And now your build is ruined for single target... you can no longer bounce kinetic blast off your frost walls. :/

Quote
Frost Walls created by you or your allies are now no longer considered enemies for the purposes of projectile collision detection (your projectiles will not collide with your own Frost Wall). This intentionally fixes the exploit case where a player stacks many Frost Walls around a boss and uses a skill like Piercing Lightning Arrow to trigger an excessive amount of hits.

Does anyone even still play normal Elona? Isn't everything after Chapter 1/initial continent Elona+ content? Or is + just changes to mechanics (skills, spells, jobs/plat costs, gods, etc).

Yes, new continent is Elona+ content. Besides that and mechanics changes, Plus also introduced tons of new contents and QoL improvements. Vanilla Elona is no match to Plus.

Transistor and Bastion, plus their soundtracks are in a weekend deal of 82% off on Steam.

That's 27 HKD, or less than 4 USD. Great deal. That's because I already owned the games.
