Look cool for free!

A contributor sends me the following trick to get the look you always wanted w/o paying a single cent.

Tired of your greenish cape? Then try another one on!!! Want to be a P2P race? Then just do it.

Here is what you have to do:

-Locate your ETERNAL LANDS folder in your hard drive.
-Find the file you want to change, and the file you want to change it with.

For instance, capes, races and clothes are in MESHES... Just explore around a bit, and choose the "file preview" option in your folder, so that you can just visually spot what you're looking for.

-Copy and paste into a txt document, or simply write down, the files' names. They should be "EXACTLY" the same, so bear this in mind and do not modify a single letter.

-Right click on the 1st file whose name you want to exchange. Choose "change name". Paste the name of the other file. Do the same thing with the other file.

SUMMARIZING: SIMPLY EXCHANGE THE FILES NAMES.

With this method, you can:

-Put on better clothes.
-Change your look/race.
-Change your cloaks color.
-Change your hairs color.
-Use better weapons and armor.
-Turn Roja's statue into a Yeti's.

The disadvantages are:

-If you change the look of a very usual cape like, say, excavator cloak, you will see a lot of people wearing it!

-You will be the only one who sees the changes, as well as anybody playing EL in your computer, so it's not valid if you want to show off officially.

-The changes are just visual, and not effective in the game itself. Therefore, keep what you're doing secret!!

BrOD, what for?

1. Branch of destruction.

Our mighty BRoD is quite a controversial item. It will maybe grant more visits to EL shop. It's quite expensive to buy, but pays off really quickly, when you can screw up many people's efforts (and ) with one single hit!!! (just ask DonPedro)


The result is: EL's PK is kinda screwed up now!!! YAY!!!

My Hype

This is the hype I made for Eternal Lands in MMORPG.com. I know many people will agree with me:

((SUMMARY OF MY OPINION: Don't waste your time with this crappy
click fest. ))

My opinion (extended version):

Things that make Eternal Lands worth playing:

* A lot of nice community members
* An acceptably big world to explore and discover
* Most of it is free

Things that make Eternal Lands not worth playing:

*CRAPPY graphics.
* EL is forever and ever under development.
* The developers are the personification of ARROGANCE, and treat their player base like SHIT!
* FREE? Unless you want: A cool race, a bot, a guild, certain items that almost never appear in game... For all those things you DO have to pay a fee.
* If you die, you lose part of your stuff.
*Not so many creatures/monsters, so that spawns are always crowded.
* The isometric view gets very annoying, specially if you have to scroll in and out and left and right, to guess where your target is among tons of tree branches, and hit it.
* Movement in Eternal Lands is slooow, and running is (of course) not possible.
* The levelling system in Eternal Lands is problematic. Not because it is slow, which it is, but because it takes ages of dumbily sitting and clicking the "use" button to mix, blend, create, and some more other ages to run around clicking on creatures, hopping to hit your target (as I mentioned before, a nervebreaking task). Some more ages, nevertheless, are required to harvest items. SUMMARIZING: A CLICK-FEST
* The market system in Eternal Lands is completely out of control. Many players complain about this, but no solution is given.
* Some mods/admins/devs think of themselves as demi-gods.
* Watch out what you mention and to whom, you'll get (at least) censored, and sometimes banned from the game, if a mod dislikes your topic.
* The possibility to customize your character is very limited. Not many options given. 3 races are free, but for the other 3 races you DO have to pay (let's not call it donate, donating is voluntary, and this is not the case).
* Locating secret places and C2 can also drive anybody nuts. They are not placed in any logical way, and that requires the player to either be told about the secret place by a merciful player, either run around clicking on anything they see... A brick in the wall, a stone in the ground...

The reason to play Eternal Lands, is basically having an old computer that is UNABLE to handle bigger games, like the magnificent (AND FREE) Shadowbane, Rubies of Eventide or Planeshift.

If you play Eternal Lands and like it, it is because (IMO):

-You haven't played it for a long time.
-You already clicked your way to a high level, and don't want to waste you effort.
-You haven't got to know Entropy&CO.
-You feel too much attached to your guild mates.
-You think that THAT is all a f2p MMORPG can offer.

Please, browse this crappy web, and you'll find links to other REALLY GOOD free MMORPG. When you try them, tell me what you think (if you still have Eternal Lands in your mind, by then).

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, ELCHEATS READERS!

Improve your fighting experience

What follows are just some pieces of advice. Follow them at your own risk! (and... you can always state your disagreement in the comments). Let's go:

How to maximize your defense and take less hits.

This is the armor suit for you if you like dodging:

Greaves
Leather pants
Leather armor
Iron helm
Steel shield
Unicorn medallion

This gives no defense penalties and the unicorn med and steel shield raise your defense a +11. If you take a sword, it will probably also raise your defense by a bit. I usually take a tit short for cyclops and it gives me another +2 defense for a +13 total.

Minimizing damage.

If you're fighting a monster for hunting that is still strong for you, you might want to reduce the damage to the lowest you can.

This is the suggested armor for this case:

Platemail
Greaves
Cuisses
Steel shield
Moon medallion
Iron helm

This set of armor gives you an armor value of 17/24 reducing your damage by a big number already.

Info on hitting and your dealt damage.

If fighting monsters or PKing you probably like to do a decent amount of damage or just start off by hitting it already.

Swords: Swords increase accuracy and damage, also increase the chance of scoring a critical hit. Next to that they also add to your defenses. It is suggested your use swords for a high accuracy and hit rate.

Axes: The highest damage dealt in EL (not counting magic weapons) is dealt by axes. Their damage reaches great heights and makes them a weapon to be afraid of. HOWEVER they do not increase accuracy. It is very hard to hit someone using axes, but they score nice hits which make up for the lower hit rate. Also watch out for the little defense penalty they give you. Suggest you use a moon med for the accuracy if you're wielding an axe.

Hammers: Like the axes, these weapons deal great damage. But it is highly suggested you use another weapon then an axe. Their damage may be high BUT they also decrease your defense, accuracy and critical to hit/damage. If you use them, a moon med for the accuracy is suggested and a steel shield to make up for the defense penalty.

Staffs: A nice weapon, gives you an increase in accuracy, defense and critical to hit, but lowers your critical to damage rate. They are also the only 2-handed weapon in the game. This does disallow you to carry a shield with you, thus making you easier hit by the monster/player you're fighting. Suggest you take a unicorn medallion with this weapon to make up for not wearing a shield.

Armor affecting your hit rate.

Always take a close look at your armor before taking it along, I have checked the plate items, most do not affect your hit rate but the platemail will decrease your accuracy and critical to hit. Chains also decrease your accuracy by 1 and your critical to hit by 1. Steel shields decrease your accuracy and critical to hit by 2, as do the iron shields.

Some more tips:

Mirror cloaks are the worst for training, they take away 10% of your attack exp and are expensive losses when they break.

Steel chains have the same armor value as degraded platemail/titanium chain. We suggest you sell whatever titanium chain you got and get some steel chains, because even when not degraded the difference is small.

Announcement: A character for sale

An Eternal Lands player, whose identity shall not be disclosed, wants to sell an Eternal Lands character that was used mainly for harvesting.

The character would be exchanged for ingame GC (around 1ook gc).

The character has read a lot on harvesting...

If you want more info, email me at elcheats (at) yahoo.com, and I'll put you in touch with the seller. Your identities shall by no means be revealed (not by me, at least).

The new vial seller

We all know Harvy is a most despicable NPC, always asking for quartz and money in exchange for his short-lived vials.

Now getting vials is less of a pain in the ass.

The new vial seller is in Melinis (C2) 250 125. 5gc for each vial!

Skills Schools

Schools have been implemented in Eternal Lands, so that now they give double experience when practising inside them. The disadvantage is that you'll get no item, and certainly the food cost is maintained.

This is a list I've tried to gather with most of the schools. There might be mistakes to it. Please correct them and/or contribute new ones, by sending me an email to elcheatsyahoo.com or leaving a comment.

Let's go:

General Skills School: GLACMOR

Secret Place list -3

Dear readers,

due to more contributions I've been receiving, I want to offer a 3rd list of Secret Places you can find in Eternal Lands.

Related links:

• Secret Place list, 1
• Secret Place list, 2
• Get to C2 (Irillion)
• Get to Roanof
  
• Grahm's village shop maze solved

Here we go:

Get to Dra Syn (in Trassian) without Teleport to Range:
When you are in Trassian, go to 185 168. Then use all the bricks on the second row from the bottom of that wall you are standing next to. One of them will take you to a cave. you'll have to follow a stone path, until you get to the point where the path divides. Then take the east way. Walk next to the table and chairs to the east of where you are, then go northeast until you get to a cave entrance. Get into it. Now get to the coordinates 660 690, and get into the teleporter you'll be standing next to. You'll appear in Dra Syn. Mind you! There are Yetis there.


Trassian Library (Fast Read)
To get to the Trassian library you need to get to Dra Syn first, by Teleporting to Range or following the instructions above. Once in Dra Syn, go to 38 97 and click the Tri Caves entrance in front of you. Go east across the arch, and then take the south path. Exit through that cave into the Knights Hall. Follow the 'mystical' blue path until you come to a junction. Take the east route; it will lead you to another cave entrance. When you enter this cave you will be in the Great Library of the Draegoni. Now just keep walking east until you come to some long tables. If you sit at one of these tables you will read 5 times faster.

Desert Pines Fast Reading Area
Please refer to Secret Place list nº2

Isla Prima Fast Regeneration Spot
On IP there is a fast regeneration mud mound at 20,130.

Bethel Fast Regeneration Spot
Fast regeneration area at 13,122.

Secret Veggie Harvesting in WS
On WS theres a fireplace at 268,434. You will see pillars and a lantern/green leave. Zoom in and you'll be able to harvest vegetables there.

Did you find these hints useful? Do not hesitate to comment, or email me! Thanx for contributing.

Grahm's Village Maze solution!

I'm sure you already know that there's a magic room, to which you can access through Grahm's Village Magic shop, in Whitestone (WS).

Let me remind you where it is:

----------------------------------------------------------

--WS, Grahms Village magic shop. Behind counter, on a shelf, two books lie. Use the black book and you'll get to a secret room.

TG Magic School (2): The maze, and Seridia portals room

It's easy as can be. This map (click on it to enlarge) shows the Magic School's insides. The blue cross (left bottom) shows where you start, and the numbers the order in which you should enter the doors (red square).


This path is safe.

To GET to the PORTALS ROOM, this is what you have to do (thx, contributors):

1. Once you are in the maze (your compass should always point north), go through the WEST door.
2. Then go through the EAST door.
3. You'll be in a room with stairs. Look for the blue lamp, and USE it (click on it with the use icon) to get to the portals room.

Oh, yes, it was as easy as 1,2,3.

How to get 1st person view

A contributor sends us the following tip:

There is a way to view the world, as if you were looking through the eyes of your character.

1. Go to tools and go to the advanced video tab.

2. Set the prespective to 0.80

3. Set the Near Plane Distance to 60.0 (optional but helps when you are hunting for monsters.

See how it looks like in this screenshot:

• The contributor sends me another Secret Place (how to enter the Teleportals room in the Magic School in TG. ) Visit the Secret Place list to find out. I'll ilustrate his point, in the following days.
  

Thank you, dude!

On a trip through the Magic School, part 1

(I have another post with complete maps of the Magic School and its maze)

When I started playing Eternal Lands, the Magic School in Tarsengaard was a place I avoided. It was easy to get lost there. It took me quite some time to make it to some places, like the portals room, or the Magic School Secret Gardens.

So I'm gonna take those of you who still get lost there, to its interesting places, in a series of trips.

In my homemade map, each colored dot shows a door, and where it takes is marked with a dot the same colour.

On todays trip, we'll reach the MAGIC SCHOOL GARDENS thru the SEWERS (yes, the sewers are PK, in case you didn't know).

• Enter the Magic School, and go up the stairs to the right. There's a door there (red dot) so go thru it.
• The next two doors lead to the dormitories (orange and yellow dots). Go thru the door that takes to the dining room (green dot).
• In the dining room, take the door (white dot) that leads to the kitchen.
• Once in the kitchen, take the trap (yellow SQUARE) and go down to the sewers (warning, Player Kill area, and nasty creatures as well).
• Now, take the stairs up to the laboratory (green SQUARE).
• Once in the laboratory, take the door that leads to the underground passage (fucsia dot).
• In the Underground tunnel, walk to the other end, and exit thru the cave.
• You're in the Magic School Secret Gardens!!
  

The Magic School of Tarsengaard admits many different ways of doing the same thing. On next entries, I'll cover different (safer) paths to the Secret Gardens, secret areas, the maze, the portals room, and the Magic School Secret gardens themselves, with their hidden entries to the caves and so on.

Until later.

Dummy map for mapless areas

Dummy/blank maps??

Dummy maps are used for those areas in Eternal Lands with no map available (circumstance which can be checked in your Eternal Lands folder. Mapless areas are those that lack a .bmp file matching the .elm file).

I think everybody has them already, but if you don't, you can download this map, renaming it...

For instance: I check my Eternal Lands/Maps folder, and see that there is no .bmp file (this is, a map) available for, say, the file cont2map1_caves.elm (this is, Idaloran caves). All I have to do, is save this dummy map above, renaming it as cont2map1_caves.bmp. I hope it's clear.

Last Eternal Lands updates

I haven't played much lately. It's not only that I have work to do in real life, but also that Eternal Lands is even harder for manufacturers after the last update.

Eternal Lands now offers great novelties, such as a wider variety of harvestable items, and new areas, among other things.

However:

• The incidence of enriched essences has decreased even more
• Fire Essences are slooooow to make.
  
• The number of critical fails when manufacturing/mixing has increased a LOT. Regardless of your level.
• Although vials are stackable, you now lose your vial when having a non minor potion. Seems now Eternal Lands characters are vial eaters.
• NordCarn cave is PK now... Great.
  

When His Almighty Entropy faces negative opinions about these new characteristics in the game, the answer he gives goes like this:

To the others, if you don't like it, go play other games. Or be more selective about the bitching, you can't have less overproduction and faster building times. It's one or the other.

Never forget he's Teh God. Let's all sit down and click, click, click, click for hours, quietly as good schoolboys and girls.

COMPLETE MAPS 6: Desert Pines

Before I post this map and its coordinates, let me answer to a couple emails:

-There is no "team" as such, working on this page. The way people contribute is by sending me emails with X or Y new info/corrections. My email account is elcheats (at) yahoo (dot) com.

-The way I answer to any emails is through this page, when it's possible. I don't want my IP to run the risk of being disclosed. Mine would be one of the few completely justified cases for a ban.

-To people who have emailed me asking me questions, I will do my best to answer them as soon as I can.

Get (almost) all the maps for Eternal Lands

Here you have a ZIP file with almost all the Eternal Lands MAPS (the ones you can see when you hit TAB inside the game).

• Maps

You can download these maps and save them in the /maps folder (\maps for Windows users) under your Eternal Lands directory. Make sure that you make backups of all the .bmp files in that directory. If you already have any custom maps in that directory they might be replaced if the names have a correspondence (i.e. they are maps of the same name). Windows will prompt you for overwrite permission (in which case you need to think of logical file-name changes to make it work). If you work from the Linux command line, you might not have such a luxury, as your existing files will be overwritten in the default settings. Linux, afterall, does expect us to be a bit more in control of our systems, so, use your brain and make backups when installing things by hand.)

How to add your own coordinates to Eternal Lands' maps

Upon request, I have decided to offer this short guide about how to modify/add coordinates to the map files. I hope it will be clarifying enough (click on the images to enlarge):


1.- First off, locate your Eternal Maps folder (mine is in D:\program files). Once you have located it, open it.

2.Once you are inside your Eternal Lands folder, look for the map coordinates file you want to change/modify. The file extension is .elm. In the case of White Stone, we are looking for the map named map2.elm:

3. Once you located the file you want to modify, right click on it, and choose "Open with..."

4. Open the file with the text editor:
5. What you will find is a coordinates list. This is where you can add/erase coordinates. Remember to use the same format you see, when you add something new: (coordinates number item): 123 456 lilacs. If you add too many coordinates, the result will me a cluttered map (like mine :-P)

6. Once you added/ edited what you wanted, we have to save the file. The point here, is not to have our file reformated into a txt file. Thus, select SAVE AS:


7. Do not modify the file's name. Remember not to save it as a text file. To do so, select "All files" (see below: I have no idea what it says in English browsers). Just don't reformat and/or rename the file, and everything will work ok!

---If you can't locate the name of the file you want to modify, it's as easy as adding a note in your map, in the game itself, with the actual name of the map, like seen below.
