I actually reached the Elona skill hunter title, it was the easiest.
I don't know about that, there are a lot more elonian elite skills to capture than tyrian. I can understand why you were running out of money. I was also bringing keys with me since there are a lot of chests in the far off places that some of these bosses are located. I hated the mineral springs elites the most, although money-wise I usually come out about even. You had to go back so many times to pick up elite from all the different professions.
