Elin:Kumiromi of Harvest: Difference between revisions

While other gods like Opatos and Lulwy have gained skills that don't directly pertain to combat like blacksmithing and taming, Kumiromi remains undisputed king of the slow life playstyle. Perception, dexterity and learning are all well and good, allowing Kumiromi worshippers to dabble in ranged combat, and alchemy, weaving and literacy are all useful life skills albeit with eventual diminishing returns, the crown jewel of Kumiromi's bonuses is that of farming. Since farming not only governs the maximum level of crop a player is able to grow, but also influences the chance a crop will increase in level when sickled, Kumiromi worshippers are quickly able to produce rich, high-quality harvests that rapidly improve both stats and potentials when cooked into excellent meals. High quality trees grown by Kumiromi worshippers also yield far more wood than wild trees for purposes such as carpentry and construction, and furniture made from high quality timber and cotton will sell for a high price. While he is not as essential as he was in Elona, worshipping Kumiromi can still make your character considerably more powerful in the long run.

Because of the easy availability of seeds in Elin, Kumiromi's ability to extract seeds from rotting matter has become less useful; instead, other new abilities have been added that facilitate agricultural life. Kumiromi's ability improves the probability that seeds will increase in level when gained, and fruits and vegetables shipped by Kumiromi believers earn 1.5 times the normal amount. Note that the shipping value bonus applies only to uncooked vegetables and fruits, not to mushrooms, rice or wheat, or nuts. Kumiromi worshipers can also calm plant monsters such as mandrakes and mushrooms to avoid conflict. Unlike machines dominated by '''[[Elin:Mani of Machine|Mani]]'''<nowiki/>'s ability, these calmed plants are not under the player's control and disappear when the player leaves the map.

Kumiromi Scythe confers faction effects, such as the ability to digest rotten food and resistance to chaos. The most powerful and unique of these effects is that it grants a neck-hunting effect to all attacks, including magic and shooting. In addition, enemies whose necks are hunted will be transformed into friendly plants. The non-faction effects of the scythe are mainly bonuses to household skills such as farming and cooking, and there are almost no combat-oriented effects. Therefore, one option is to give this weapon to the resident of the base who has a '''[[Elin:Housing#Jobs|job/hobby]]''' related to farming or cooking.
