Your basic job will be to process corpses through the morgue, passing them to morticians and porters as necessary. After you apply for work, begin right away putting the chemicals onto the trolley.  Read the instructions so you know which chemical to apply.  Once you have the chemicals on, have the porter get you some more chemicals.  Watch your trolleys as your can ruin a trolley by looking away.  Make sure your chemicals don't stay on the trolley too long.  Once the corpse starts to be hauled in from the guards, remove their belongings placing in a box by the door.  Have the porter take that right away to be dispose of.  You can assign the corpse in the meantime to either the assistant or mortician.  Never ever give a bloody corpse to the assistant.  That is a deduction you don't want to have.  Same with the trolleys.  Watch the trolleys.  I have ruined many trolleys and the boss gets very mad with you.  He takes coins from your final pay and many times, I have left with 0 coins and bad reputation in the morgue.  So be watchful.  Anyway, okay so you determined you can send the corpse to the Assistant.  Now the mortician works way faster than the Assistant but remember the Assistant gets very upset at bloody corpse.  So I start with the Assistant.  Okay have plenty of chemicals and empty boxes.  Slowly, more corpse will come.  Keep the porter busy.  Keep checking in with the Assistant and Mortician to see if they are ready to move the corpse away.  The porter will do this.  Now if you have him/her off tending boxes or chemicals, you will just have to wait til he is back and ready to move the corpse.  I have learnt to check my mortician and assistant often.  Get those corpse out and new corpse into the room.  You get a deduction for smell in the morgue.  That can be up $100 coins easily.  So move them quickly from the mortician and assistant.  Keep adding chemicals to your trolley and scrubbing them clean.  If they are dirty, the guards have no where to go with the corpse.  That is a deduction too.  So keep your trolleys clean and corpse free.  That is a hard task for the night work.  Your porter is off tending to your boxes, chemicals or corpse.  You only get one porter and so use your time wisely.  I still haven't figure that out correctly myself.  Happy Morgue!  It really is a challenge to do so good luck!

The adventurers guide to Elysium


Securing Funds For Your Exploits

A set of equipment, a sea worthy vessel, and provisions are needed for any good adventurer. With a multitude of ways to earn coins you will soon have your cache of wealth ready to fund your many adventures.

Selling Commodities to Cities

The tradesman is friend to anyone looking to make their coin from selling commodities. He brokers the prices the city is willing to pay for various commodities.

  • Hunting
Tried and true hunting is the most reliable, albeit sometimes slow method of gaining coin. Carcasses are a resource that is always in demand, though not very high paying.
  • Woodcutting
A woodcutter's axe is required to start this venture, but trees are plentiful throughout the lands of Elysium and cities are willing to pay for wood. When cutting trees be sure to pick at least 10 seeds and replant the grove you are cutting down.
  • Fruit
Fruit takes time to grow and is only available on fruit groves. Picking it is easy enough and some cities are willing to pay for this form of raw food.
  • Beehives
Beehives can be found in the wild on all three continents and are the only source of wax and honey. Wax is used in candle making which isn't covered in this guide, but honey can be sold to some cities for a premium price. Beehives take a while to regenerate their resources so this isn't a good constant income source.
  • Fishing
Fish is normally in demand by most cities, but can be rather slow paced. Fishing in rivers requires a fishing rod and enough fish to be caught to make a barrel of fish. Fishing at sea requires a ship of course and a fishing net. Fishing at sea is much quicker, but isn't a viable option for those starting out.

Part Time Work

These jobs are available at various times and pay a base hourly wage. Coins are deducted from that wage when you fail to perform the job properly. These jobs are also a way to earn swap items which you can see using the swap command. Apply for a job the hour before the shift starts.

The morgue pays 200 coins per hour. The shift starts at the 20th hour and lasts until midnight. Your basic job will be to process corpses through the morgue, passing them to morticians and porters as necessary.
  • Kitchen
The kitchen pays 200 coins per hour. There are two shifts available from 9-13 and 14-18. Your basic job will be to bake and have goods available for the customers. Once you apply for work, choose yourself a large grey tray. Place your baked rolls onto this grey tray. Place in oven 3. This one is the fastest baking. Follow your recipe in baking help when at the restaurant. Choose another grey tray and again make baked rolls. .

The customers love them. Once the baked rolls are in oven 1, start a third large grey tray with baked rolls. Now start a large brown tray of chocolate rolls. Check your ovens. Once oven 3 is baked, place the large brown tray in the oven. Now start a small black tray of flour cakes. These aren't as popular but you will want a few on display. Always have a large grey tray of baked rolls ready to go when the oven has baked your items. Keep your eyes on those ovens! Keep looking at the counter to make sure the customer is happy. Nothing is more upsetting then to hear your boss deducting you 5 coins each time he finds a burnt roll or nothing on his display. Work quickly and watch your work. I keep 2 trays of baked rolls in the oven at all times. If my counters look good with flour rolls and chocolate rolls. Always keep your large grey trays for baked rolls. You can choose medium brown tray for your chocolate rolls baking now and then. Keep small black tray of flour cakes. Happy Baking!

  • Stables

The runes are rectangle, star, triangle, hexagon, octagon, pentagon, oval, diamond, circle, square. This is time. Once you place on rune into the cube the ticker begins. If you fail to get the cube together in the allot time period, the cube will explode causing you injury. If you succeed you will be rewards 500 coins. Good luck!

Orien

  • Dragon Table

This puzzle is maybe one of the most difficult puzzle so if you have the time, this is a fun one to figure out. You have directions. By moving the stones you align the stones to move the table. If you get a move on the table, you have a few maybe like one or two correctly placed. As you move the stones about, more active messages appearing giving you hope that you are going into the right direction. This is not time. You can spend as long as you wish in there or until your candle or lantern burns out. It is dark inside this mound and so you will need a light source to see what you are doing. From the few times, I have done this puzzle, you are listening for a humming noise. This means you are on the right track and soon coins will be yours. Good luck! This one is fun and frustrating!

  • Treasure Cave

There is a crack on the rock face. You can try to reach in with your hands and grab some treasure. However, that never seems to work as well as it sounds. So you have to use the crowbar to lift away the rock. You slide the crowbar upper, middle and lower. Upon using the crowbar, you will budge the rock so you can get into that tight spot and grab the treasure. There is powder which is something I always go for when the crowbar won't budge the rock but sometimes, most times, it does quite a bit of damage. Don't be scared to use a little powder and see if you can budge that crack open a bit more so you can slide your hands inside the crack.

  • Maze

This one is interesting. You move about this maze when feeling the ground move and you feel dizzy. You are in search of a glass key for the chest.

  • Tomb Robbing

Others

These boards are located in the taverns of the cities. Tasks are listed here for budding adventurers. The pay is dependent on the task available.
  • Goblet Game
This is more gambling than a guaranteed payout, but listed here for the more daring adventurers. Located in the tavern of each city, you can bet coins and pick from one of three goblets. If you select the goblet with the gold piece you win. One of the goblets contain poison making this game potentially fatal.
These will appear in cities that have good economies. They ask for various crafted items and pay generously for each item. You are only able to help them if they are in your home city.
This merchant will request items that can be found at festivals and pay an inflated price for them. Festivals are discussed later in this guide.
You can dig for treasure along the roads that connect the cities. To do this you must secure a spade. The items found are usually items other adventurers have lost to city thieves, but other treasures can be found that can be sold to treasure traders.
Searching the city streets can garner you some useful items. Each city room can only be searched so often before you must wait.
As with city searching this is listed here because you can obtain useful items more so than coin. These citizens will request items ranging from commodities to crafted goods and give you a reward in return.
A tinker can be found in each of the cities, usually in the market area. Tinkers will pay a small amount of coins in return for a variety of items, and always have a list of items they are looking for. These items are usually relatively easy to find, though may require you to leave the city.

Your First Excursions

Polaris

Occid

These goblin bandit know how to party. First, you want to greet Leikrag. He will put you on a task. Once complete, you will want to take the item over to Juugo. He is going to give you a gift for bringing him the item. There is a third bandit up that way. Egrik will trade you cloth but he wants the finest silk cloth to begin with. So if you have silk clothing, chat with him. There is a four bandit Hugo. He seems pretty shy to me. He didn't ask for anything as the others did. The location of this camp is across the huge river by Gralthar. If you are not good as swimming, wait til you are to visit. That river is dangereous for a new comer.

  • mysterious cottage

However, that does upset the owner and she don't take your killing her cat. Killing her is a struggle but once you do, she has hidden some delicious mushroom cake and a letter. Upon reading this letter, you find a key that unlocks a trapdoor to Father Solfolok. This is not at all a easy kill. He is extremely tough. Once he is killed though you are able to get the red runed gloves mentioned in the letter. The gloves are temporary. You can wear until you leave out. How to get into the cottage is explained in the description.
