Pets/allies are great. You can play a solo build and run with the “Lonely Soul” feat, but you’re missing out on a lot. Allies can provide so much more utility beyond the stat gains from Lonely Soul.

Some allies can heal you, others can debuff the enemies, and yet others do massive amounts of boss-killing damage. And some can taunt/tank the enemies, letting you safely fight from afar. I personally run with 5 allies (my main 5 of Mesherada, my starter little girl, Melilith, Ehekatl’s Black Cat apostle, and Lulwy’s Black Angel apostle ❤️), for example, and I’m currently comfortably clearing level 70 Nefias. (I could have more allies, but I take the RP/isekai aspect of the game kind of seriously, so these are the main 5 that I love and I’m happy with. Kind of why I don’t eat any little ones/little sisters for their ADAM, since… I couldn’t. I could never lol.)

And some can taunt/tank the enemies, letting you safely fight from afar (which is also great, because remember when I mentioned that meditating helps you recover mp extremely quickly? Well, having a pet taunt/tank means you can safely meditate in the middle of combat to recover mp before resuming your barrage of spells on enemies).

You do have to take care of your allies though, and one of the first ways is by appropriately gearing them up. If you wheel-click (M3) on an ally, you can “Trade” with them.

Once you’re there, just find a nearby guard and ask them where the “tax box” is (you can also do this to find any specific NPC and even random citizens for your requests if you’re delivering something to them).

To pay your taxes at the tax box, “grab” (double-click) your tax bill and right-click the tax box to drop it off (it’ll also subtract the same amount of orens from your open inventory).

== Furniture tickets ==
So we can use furniture tickets! A new and important item in Elin is the furniture ticket. You can get them randomly from completing requests in town (from the quest board), or exchanging influence for them at a 1:1 ratio (you get influence for completing requests too). They let you legally take any furniture item you want in that town (that you have the furniture tickets for), provided you have enough. To use them, just “grab” them, go up to the furniture, and right-click what you want.

Line 375: Line 375:
You have to consider ''everything'' that each god has to offer when you choose to follow them. For example, Kumiromi’s weapon (the [[Elin:Kumiromi_Sythe|Elin:Kumiromi Sythe]]) is absolutely amazing and can change the battlefield into a mini Plants vs. Zombies. He also supports a few lifeskills through his passive (such as Farming, Alchemy, and Weaving), and you can generate enhanced seeds from rotting food as well as special, rainbow fruit seeds from the Cute Fairy pet. On the other hand, you can’t really go wrong with Opatos of Earth either. His passive supports Strength, Endurance, and Weightlifting (and some others), which you’ll benefit from regardless of your gameplay plan. As someone once said, “Constitution (and by extension, hp) is not a dump stat.” You’ll also always be carrying things so weightlifting doesn’t hurt either. The nicest parts? His bonus is that '''''all damage''''' is reduced by 10%. The Golden Knight pet is a nice tank and walking storage (starting out with a staggering 260s weight carrying capacity), and Opatos’ [[Elin:Earth_Hammer|Elin:Earth Hammer]]? It further reduces physical damage by 10%, elemental damage by 10%, and whoever is wielding it has their life increased by 100%. That’s a lot of hp. And that’s only just a few of the effects it has.

Off-topic for a quick second, but you probably see “Faction” attached to various god weapons’ enchantments. It is simultaneously a restriction and a massive boon. When something is a “Faction” effect, it applies to everyone in your faction (aka party). This means that, for example, if you gave the Earth Hammer to your pet and you weren’t personally wielding it, you’d still get the physical and elemental damage reduction, the mind resistance, etc. ''However'', the faction effects will only persist as long as you’re following that god. If you were to turn apostate and abandon Opatos, the faction effects would be stripped from the weapon and you’d be left with the remaining non-faction effects. You do get them back if you return to the god whose faction effects you want, so don’t worry! It’s just a way to keep all the gods balanced so you don’t just go on a collecting spree and become ''too'' OP with all their weapons; you’ll also have to consider which gods’ weapons have faction effects that matter to you the most, or that you are willing to lose in exchange for another god’s passives or bonuses. Just something to keep in mind!

On that note, I’ll just list out some gods to think about if you really have absolutely no idea who to follow:

Also, here’s cute picture that’s perfect if you’re like, “What do I do in this game?” “It’s too hard.” “I’m feeling overwhelmed and lost.” “I want to leave a bad review on Steam.”
