Unlimited Source of Natural Elex

[Sai Kyouji]

Goods Trader in Tavar. He is the only one to restock NE istantly whenever you close trade windows that I have found.

Trophy Hunter lvl 3 also allow you to extract Natural Elex from Mutants and Rotmulch? (whatever that thing is called exactly. It's like a dog version of rotboar)

Yes. Anything with blue veins really (large cyborgs etc).

Tbh, the game would be better balanced if natural elex only came from veins / mutants.

I think a few traders are bugged with infinite Elex because the vast majority in the game will never restock it - it should be that only traveling merchants will restock a little, which is not too unbalanced.

There's also Fenk in the Domed City, he has endless amounts of Elex aswell.
I think its just a bug, since some traders automatically restock and some haven't stocked once during my playthrough (still in the first chapter)

Yep and it totally breaks the game in certain ways once you "get on the Elex grind"

I wonder if anyone has specifically asked PB about this.

It's pretty expensive, so it doesn't feel like grind to me. It's like I'm exploring all these ruins, killing all these monsters and animals (getting the trophies), solving the quests to amass enough shards to afford myself a few potions in the end of the day.
Honestly, attributes don't even matter that much, the equipment does. If I notice things right, attributes don't even affect your combat possibilities in this game, they are simply for getting better perks and better equipment, which you also need to get first.

The attribute points start costing a ridicilous amount later on, currently I need 5 points to get one point in strength. So its actually good (in a way) that you can get the points easily
But yeah, the attribute points don't really matter, though some items require a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of points to use them

[Mauman]

Yeah, considering the cost of stats above a certain point, I'm pretty sure this is actually balanced.

Raising stats to the higher levels would be absolute bollocks otherwise.

Plus it's a money sink so that money never becomes a useless thing to get.

Elex shold at least raise your coldness. Not only would that give you incentive to not overuse them, but that's the entire premise behind the Alb faction too.

Yeah seems like a real missed opportunity there for PB.

They could have done something like "hollowing" in Souls. Your character will be colder and change appearance the more Elex you take. It should have quest / dialog significance.

[Mauman]

I think the only thing that forcing increased coldness would achieve is to advance the ranged-weapon master build.

Besides, the alignment system is kinda wonky. I'm going to pay you off so I don't have to kill you....my coldness increased? WTF?!

I believe your characters skin tone changes with coldness. I remember Jax being pale in the beginning like other Albs.

I think that's just a cutscene though. There doesn't seem to be any active game mechanics connected your character when taking more and more Elex.

Drinking ELEX potions changes your aligment. I have used potions to have all stats to 90(I was too lazy to grind it to 100) and most skills(also I was lazy :P). Halfway through I spotted that my aligment is shifing I end up having Ice Cold Badass but it cut's you from some dialogue options and opens others.
Another thing is I don't see much diffrence except I am able to carry more powerfull weapons and all the weapons I want at the same time.
For the record there is around 150 points to level one skill to 90 from 60. this leves us with 75 potions per skill, so I used around 400 elex potions during grind and ended up Ice cold.
