Would you put your annoyance above the survival of the human species?
I admit that my view of miriam is based on research quotes and the fluff story of when they were on the ship so I might be missing something.
But... Miriam is fervorously religious which is the first thing that annoys me. Secondly, They're on a hostile world that is just growing more hostile and she wants to inhibit science.

And I'm of the more pessimistic world view that humanity is screwed unless we start improving ourselves, be it genetic manipulation, selective breeding or some alternative that just has not appeared yet. Otherwise we will probably blow ourselves up or do something similarly selfdestructive.

The only canon development for me is who's owning the planet busters in my games :D
I think you missed a 'n' in your "Cannon" there, Because you seem to be wanting to use them.

...judging from the various quotes and cutscenes...
How do you decide which ones are cannon as some depends on what faction the player uses?

As long as that is true, I'm content. Miriam always annoyed me.

Yeah, though that is more of a bonus rather than farmable

...but dungeons seem to be the most reliable method with the largest income.
I feared that was so, and the static coins are long gone.

So, does anyone have a better method to get small medals than running through dungeons? Alternatively, a good way to get scrolls of growth which is what I'm buying with the medals.

Speaking of pets. If i add hands to a humanoid, would it get more attacks per round like asuras have, and would it be worth the 10% speed penalty?
Considering getting some pets just for fun rather than to go for the standard in the "These are good" list

Nope. I'm also getting that and I just went and invested to 130+ just to see if it changed.

"Etherwind can only occur during days of very certain time periods - during the first ten days of any month that is a multiple of 3 (3, 6, 9, 12)."
And when it starts it runs for a few days and then its over until the next quarter month

What are some good buff spells to aim for?
Not many around so it depends on what you need. Feather & shield for dv/pv, resistance for... resistances. Hero if you want dex&str. Speed is a no brainer.
Most of these you'll want to level a bit though, to get the duration up, and you'll also increase the buffed value.

The values at the levels I got them:

Hmm. Other than not having permadeath I would say that it fits quite well in the Roguelike category.
E+ has some small balancing changes to the base, makes mages viable and adds content after standard elona. So I would say that you should just play elona+ from the start

i built 250 barrels
That is your problem. you are overburdened and probably had like 10 speed at most because cargo weight does matter.
What you do is you just bring the carpenter tools, craft a few and sell them and then you go to the next town and craft some more.

The coin has 100% armor penetration, which makes it a great bell killer early if you didn't nuke the tutorial NPCs for their weapons, and useful against high PV enemies like hermit crabs. It's still worth getting as swap for seeinvis and skills, as you mentioned.
I'm a level 55 mage, so I won't be throwing anything. Which I was curious if there was anything else to put in that slot just for the bonuses

Curious how to get the skills showing under the compass like you did.

The waste art is nice money, but takes 100 garbage each so its a bit of collecting to do.
Don't forget the cargo crafts like barrels and the like, that's money too.
Carpentry is great for money and you get the wands as a bonus, Jewelry for the useful scrolls.
Alchemy might be good for saving money but when you can make potential potions you don't have the materials and its easier to get from shops.
