| As questions/answers pop up all over the place, I plan on concatenating them in here. Please allow me to reserve 5-6 posts so that this FAQ has room to grow. |

Important Notes:
Your Homunculus that you start the game with is valueable because it costs half as much to repair it over every other golem. DO NOT, under any circumstances, scrap or dismantle it. You can trade it to other players for up to 120 Premium tickets if you really feel like you never use it.
It is considered extremely bad form to attack a homunculus. It is also extremely bad form to intentionally leave one out at a much higher level to avoid attacks as well, as it usually forces the former.
A few players have lost their homunculi to alchemy clans on a technicality. WARNING: A transmuted golem becomes the alchemy clan's property. It is not known at this time if you get the golem back if it is transmuted back to it's original type. So, if you have a strength-enhanced or homunculus golem, keep this warning in mind if you decide to tansmute them.
There is a general purpose wiki for Muelsfell, available at:
http://daryoon.hopto.org/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Pag e
The wiki can answer a large amount of specific questions. Feel free to search through it, it will likely have the answer you're looking for.Last Edited: Oct 3, 2009, 6:59 pm |

Salvage:
Q: What is salvage?
A: Salvaging is a process you can undertake at the Jaaron farms. It destroys a golem in exchange for money. This is useful mainly at medium levels where you have an excess of resources and are constrained by cash.
Q: How does it work/Why does it not work?
A: To salvage a golem, it has to meet certain criteria. It cannot have any items attached, it must be in your basement, and it must have at least one point of damage. In practical terms, it means that if you build a golem to salvage it, it must have a torso and two legs, so that it may go out and get damage.
Q: How does the salvage formula work?
A:
Salvage Formula:
BaseByType + 500*(Level-1) + RemainingHP = SalvageValue
Where:
BaseByType = The base amount given based on type of golem.
Level-1 = The level of the golem minus one.
RemainingHP = The total of all remaining HP, excluding the general golem HPpool
SalvageValue = The total amount you'll get for salvaging the golem.
BasebyType:
Flesh 100
Bone 200
Wood 300
Clay 400
Stone 500
Iron 600
Admantine
Glass
Copper
Bronze
Brass
The folks over at TOMU also have a scrapping calculator, which is available at:

Dismantle:
Q: What is dismantle?
A: Dismantling is a premium function that allows you to scrap a golem for a percent of the resources used to construct it.
Q: What does it refund?
A: Dismantling only returns a percent of the resource the golem is made of. Any part also made of this material is also partially refunded. I do not have the exact percent right now nor the total formula. This section will be updated when I do.
Q: What does it cost?
A: Dismantling is totally motivation free, experiance free, and resource free. The only cost is the golem being destroyed.
Q: Why bother building a golem to only get part back?
A: Dismantling is used primarily to quickly clear a basement. It has much lower requirements than scrapping, and costs no motivation. You do not profit with dismantling. It's primarily useful for those going towards golem construction achievements.Last Edited: Sep 19, 2009, 3:11 pm |

Damage and Resistances:
Damage:
Minimum damage = Strength divided by 10.
If your golem has 10 str, you will ALWAYS do 1 damage. Even if something has heaps and heaps of armor.
Damage types, no matter what they are, are added to the above. So, 1 impact + 10 str = 2 damage.
Armor of various types protects against damage. So, armor that stops 1 impact will reduce the above example to 1 damage (minimum)

Carrying Capacity and Treasure:
I believe that actual treasure looted from monsters correlates with the precentage your golem is encumbered. The more free space you have, the higher your average loot.
If you have absolutely nothing (Sticky Fingers, no armor, etc) on a golem, you will get a roll for treasure with the highest maximum and minimum.
If you have 1lb free / 99% encumbrance, that maximum and minimum seems to drop by a factor of 2. (Ergo, if you were looting 500-1000, you'll now loot 250-500.)
If you have even a single lb over that, you will get absolutely nothing, due to your golem being overloaded.
As for looting items, it is not yet known if carrying capacity plays a role, or if you need the available weight capacity to haul an item back or not.Last Edited: Feb 23, 2010, 10:50 pm |

| Reserved for later. Done with the reserving, hopefully it's enough room to categorize things well. On to adding things. |

| Reserved. I think I'll need more than what I've got solely for organization purposes. If you have questions, please post in a new thread and we will be pleased to help. |
