Forge of Destiny(Xianxia Quest)

Reader mode
This plan includes the Shambling Terror mission, for the extra sect points, and doesn't train PLR, which is more efficiently done through stealth successes anyway. The extra live combat should also help train our domain, and if we're purchasing the Neophyte's Blade until we commission a real domain weapon next week, we might as well actually train.

Likewise, we are going to have to cut things unless we go on full cultivation steam mode... as such, I think I will do something that's really not popular, and push for a closed door cultivation week. I don't think it will succeed, but I really think that every single actions we can scrounge gives us better odds to get that one more goal without ending up in a situation where we notice we are in a dead end

Not a fan. You're essentially sacrificing training Zhengui and formations - which could both be core parts of our strategy - for 1 major. I don't think that's worth it.

If we were going closed door, I'd put Cai off for a week with a filial piety excuse, drop Sixiang, and do Zhengui/Suyin/Su Ling as our minors.

Alternatively... We could do tutoring. Do white room with Su Ling and attach her minor to that, and sacrifice our other attached minor for it. Problem there though is that we don't really have anything to pair with TRF other than AM or going for a support art from the archives, so we wouldn't ne able to do it this week easily...

That has Sixiang attached to Zeqing which is a pretty awful idea.

I would look to attaching Su Ling to White Room, and then dropping Vent to allow other minors to be attached there.
 
Hmm... I would ask plan makers to consider switching the overflow from spiritual to qi. While it would curtail getting to Appraisal, it would start ramping up our qi which I think is more important than getting to appraisal.

Appraisal will take a whole lot of work for what appears to be very little gain for us. If we had 5 or 6 more weeks and we could possibly finish up FVM or SCS then it would be different, but that isn't the case right now.

Good point, you can never have too much Qi.;)

Looking at the tally, that option does seem less popular than I remembered.
 
[X] Plan Dancing in the Rain (Conservative Variant)

One note: any plan without Zhengui is one that will not get my vote. We took the dragon action for two reasons: for SLP weeks and for Zhengui. I don't know if it's possible for Zhengui to get Green, but if it is we probably need to take his minor every week, especially if it involves the Vale.
 
[X] Plan Dancing in the Rain

You know how Meizhen's always worrying about Ling Qi's health?

I imagine she'll get a heart attack when she learns we challenged a dragon to a duel.
 
Guys what are you doing? Sixiang meeting Xiulan is a terrible idea!

I can't wait.

All these plans are a bit confusing for now so gonna hold off voting atm, but glad we got rid of bringing Sixiang straight too Cool!Mom. We could ask, but we really don't know enough about how more different (non-bound) spirits tend to interact. It could be fine as we've seen with the spirit tea party club, or it could be disco snowstorm rave badness. Not to mention being rude.

Speaking of moms, get hyped for yournotmyrealmomimsorryimissyoumom!mom arrival.
 
After some thought, I decided that our minor actions this week are a less urgent than they usually are, which makes this the best time to sacrifice some of them to buffer our actions for later. As such I have elected and sacrificed two minor actions to take a second sect job. I've switched the White Room to Suyin and attached the Suyin minor.

This plan includes the Shambling Terror mission for the extra sect points, and doesn't train PLR, which is more efficiently done through stealth successes anyway. The extra live combat should also help train our domain, and if we're purchasing the Neophyte's Blade until we commission a real domain weapon next week, we might as well actually train.

The second job is Lost and Found.

I've added in the Qi pills and I've switched overflow to Qi.

I think appraisal is being underestimated by people. 1 auto is approximately the same as + 2.5 dice to all spiritual rolls. That's pretty big. If upgrading any of our arts gave us that we'd compose love songs to it.

Xin: "Guess what Ling Qi just did?"
Dragon Mom: "Do I want to know what that child gets up to? No."
Xin: "Well, I guess you don't want to hear how your son was made to capitulate without suffering a single injury."
Dragon Mom: "This can not be happening right now. I refuse to believe that this is happening."
Xin: "And Ling Qi just accepted to be patronaged by the New Moon just last week!"
Dragon Mom: "SON! WHAT DID YOU DO!"
 
While I don't really have the free time to make a plan, or discuss the merits of particular actions in detail I'd like to point that picking the CRX minor to decide about vassalage without the Xiulan action to learn about the inner sect seems a tad odd. Because it is essentially making a long-term decision either to stick around in aforementioned inner sect for at least a few years, or to leave with CRX after one year without becoming informed over it is like in there beyond various inferences from others.
 
@Arkeus your plan doesn't actually specify what job to take, unless I'm being blind as a bat again.

Edit: Oh, wait, it does where you posted it, but for some reason the tally isn't picking up second level dashes. Might wanna put the job in parentheses instead

I'm planning to put in one more week at Spiritual, and then switch to Qi if it turns out that the Moon mission doesn't change our situation regarding getting to Appraisal. I'd rather lose a fraction of a qi than a chance at Appraisal.
