Ether disease is an inevitable mechanic inElin: Sooner or later your character is going to start growing a single malformed wing or equine hooves. When this happens, you’ll need to redesign all their outfits accordingly, or ideally find a cure in the first place.

For players who’ve already used their one free dose of the antidote, it can be difficult to know how you’re meant to get more. The one store that sells it is deep in the wilderness and only trades in exotic currencies. Here’s how to find the Ether Antibodies potion, and how to gather the small medals used in Miral and Garokk’s workshop.

A player in Elin contracts Ether Disease for the first time.

How Ether Disease Works

Ether disease has a lot of mystery around it. You’re told it is a fundamental aspect of the world, since everyone is exposed to amounts of Ether in the air.

The way this works mechanically is thatcharacters have a hidden stat representing their current exposure level. For you, it goes up gradually with time and can also be rapidly shot forward by Ether elemental attacks.

The potion of Ether Antibodies is sold by the hillfolk, Miral and Garokk, in Elin.

The effects given by Ether diseasecan be beneficial or detrimental, and many of them have multiple tiers that progress with time. You can’t guarantee a beneficial disease but you can take advantage as they appear:

Be especially careful if you contract the symptom “Enemy Of All Living Things”. This turns most creatures aggressive to you.

The unpredictability of getting positive or negative diseases makes it difficult to take advantage of, especially in the early game. Once you’ve got a good supply of cures, you can more freely roll the dice and remove any harmful diseases.

How To Cure Ether Disease

The first time you contract Ether disease you’ll find astrange letter in your mailbox. It contains a cryptic note explaining the basics of the illness and a single dose of theEther Antibodies potion. Drinking this at any time will cure two stages of Ether Disease, so it can be worth saving your dose for when your symptoms get worse.

It can be tempting to carry this potion on you to cure the disease whenever it appears. Potions in your inventory are among the first itemstargeted for destruction by enemies with ice attacks. Antibody potions are best kept at your base unless you have very good elemental resistances.

Finding additional doses of antibodies is a challenge, as it only appears reliably in a few places.

How To Find Miral And Garokk

To find Miral and Garokk’s Workshop, you’ll be heading into the snowy biome in the North.The workshop is East-North-East of Lumiest,the city with the mage’s guild. It is a rathersmall singular hut in the overworldso it can easily be missed if you don’t know where to look.

You’ll want the following prepared before setting out:

Once you’ve found the workshop,you’ll be able to travelto it. This lets you skip the risk of encounters but still requires provisions and time.

The pair running the workshop areonly willing to trade in one currency: Small Medals. You’ll likely have picked a few up from looting chests in the dungeons and wilderness, and each dose of Ether Antibodies will cost ten of them. You’ll be able to buy as many as you like, as the shop restocks far more quickly than the disease progresses.

How To Find Small Medals

Small medals are a challenging currency to find consistently. You’ll pick up a few passively, so you may already have enough for your needs:

When actively trying to gather them, you’ve got three main methods:

Cost

Treasure Chests

Dungeons and even wilderness maps can contain a decent number of chests, but not all will contain coins.

This method requires some combat skills and either lockpicking skills or weightlifting to drag locked chests to the nearest town with an informer. Itbecomes more effective with higher combat levels.

Stealing

Each town has a number of small medals spread around them andmore can be obtained by stealing from private chests.

This methodis slow due to the cost in karma, requiring you to do quests and return lost purses. It’s also inconsistent as there’s a large pool of potential loot for stealing.

Fishing

The third method is fishing. You always have a small chance of gaining medals when fishing, andthey become more frequent as your skill increases.

You’ll need a large supply of bait and a decent fishing skill.Worshipping Ehekatl and wielding their lucky daggergreatly helps this process.

The most effective method for mass-producing fishing bait is tostrip mine a mechanarium, turn the copper scrap into nails, hammer the nails into bones, and craft the bones into bait. The second-best method is tohammer fertilizer into mystery corpses and turn those into bait.
