Museum
From Elona Wiki
Base cost: 140,000 gp
Maintenance cost: 1500 gp/month
Income per rank: 100 gp/month
A museum is created when the player uses a deed of museum on the world map. Place figures and cards of monsters in a museum to attract visitors. Doing so will increase the salary made by the museum. Figures will increase salary by a larger amount than cards. Figures and cards of named monsters increase salary the most. Multiple amount of figures/cards in the same square do not stack. Multiple figures/cards of the same monster will stack if you place them in multiple tiles. You can dig out the tiles to gain additional floor space, or use a Register and design your museum to what you want it to look like.
The best way to increase your museum's rank is to kill the various special NPCs (such as the three guilds' gatekeepers, Mia the cat freak, Gwen the innocent etc.) They will always drop their unique figures and cards upon death, which bumps your museum's ranking by a good amount. Just take note of your Karma and the tendency for them to carry artifact equipments, which can prove to be quite painful. If you want to avoid the karma hit, you can attack and kill unique characters in the Party Time quests instead of in the main game world. A riskier option is to summon monsters near the NPC and hope the monsters kill it.
Note that only one museum will generate salary, so extra museums will not add to the player's salary.
[edit] Museum Rank
Museum Rank is slightly different than House Rank, and is one of the few ways of increasing your monthly income. Museum Rank does not expire over time. Museum Rank also gives more money per point than House Rank - 100GP for every one point. However, Museum Rank is harder to obtain than House Rank is.
[edit] Methods of Raising Museum Rank
There are only two ways of raising your museum's rank, putting in cards of monsters and figures of monsters. Like House Rank, each card/figure must be on its own square. Your museum's rank goes up by one for every card or figure of a non-named monster. Duplicates of cards/figures of non-named monsters will not raise your rank.
Named monsters add more than one rank point, and duplicates of cards or figures of named monsters WILL raise your rank. Certain named humans (some bandits and NPCs in towns) will drop a figure and card if killed.
Bosses in non-guaranteed dungeons will also oftentimes drop a figure of themselves. However, they do not count as named NPCs and as such their card/figure will be of a generic monster of their species.
