Extracting monster gold and xp values
Because there is no listing for monsters in Steamonia (the signs next to ranches elsewhere), getting their individual gold and xp values is not trivial. It is only possible to see the totals for each formation after fighting them:
18 Gold 130 Experience |
|
17 Gold 125 Experience |
|
19 Gold 135 Experience |
|
17 Gold 131 Experience |
|
18 Gold 132 Experience |
So how do we figure individual values? By doing a Gauss-Jordan elimination to obtain a reduced row echelon form matrix. This is basic linear algebra.
Cr | Sm | Sp | Gr | Gld | Exp | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
( | 1 | 2 | 1 | 0 | ¦ | 18 | 130 | ) |
3 | 0 | 0 | 1 | ¦ | 17 | 125 | ||
0 | 2 | 1 | 1 | ¦ | 19 | 135 | ||
1 | 1 | 2 | 0 | ¦ | 17 | 131 | ||
1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | ¦ | 18 | 132 |
→
Cr | Sm | Sp | Gr | Gld | Exp | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
( | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | ¦ | 4 | 30 | ) |
0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | ¦ | 5 | 33 | ||
0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | ¦ | 4 | 34 | ||
0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | ¦ | 5 | 35 | ||
0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | ¦ | 0 | 0 |
Therefore,
- Crab = 4 Gold, 30 Exp
- Smooker = 5 Gold, 33 Exp
- Spy = 4 Gold, 34 Exp
- Greenlight = 5 Gold, 35 Exp
and this is the only possible solution. --Xhamon 07:56, 14 June 2014 (CDT)

Requirements to enter
Through a few tests, I was able to determine that the Magic Key given by Piatta's elder is a hidden requirement to enter Steamonia. As a result, characters who would otherwise have been unable to obtain the Dream Stone are similarly unable to enter Steamonia in a group.
