Proposal plan - 4x phys 4x spirt 4x epc 2x ag 3x scs 3x as
guarantees the 2 turns for scs, we get to see how much for next ag level, takes advantage of 1.1 temp modifier, and as is lowest argent at 3.
i don't think archive for am replacement is pressing since we have no room for it ap wise until a few months down after we catch up with cult arts and our actual core arts and i don't want to waste the cult roll if we're just looking without buying / training it

So, after a quick skeg through the front page here's some preliminary items of interest:
Hell, just getting Stamina to C will up it to C12, which is a whole stage difference.
Dodge is also actually fairly close to a level up.
[X] Actual Plan Gamma
If I'm reading this right, we're only +5 of a bonus away from having A rank Qi even with our spirits. On the one hand this means that if Argent Genesis gives us permanent bonus qi we could get it that way, but then Zhengui's cost is also lkely to increase when he reaches Green as well, which is annoying. At least it's high B which is still pretty damn good for our background.
Over 12 months/turns that's 36d6, which on average is 126 successes, which means we could end up getting Base S rank Qi before the year is out with no actions invested!
These are both close to ticking over, and whilst we could (maybe?) use omake points training seems a better way of levelling them. Though considering the former @Alectai would you consider swapping Academics for Formations for the Research action? It's only 2 points from Rank C.
Now this is some top quality bullshit. A D rank and E rank stat combining to form a C rank derived stat via the power of unqualified bonuses. Imagine what we'll be like once we start rounding off our worse stats.
Hell, just getting Stamina to C will up it to C12, which is a whole stage difference.And Fortitude's only 5 points off of Rank D. Combined with Stamina C that's C22, or only 8 points off of B rank armour.
Dodge is also actually fairly close to a level up.
Stealth is halfway to B rank, which is interesting mainly due to the split that occurs when a skill reaches that level, as occured with Expression to turn it into Music, Dance and Art. I'm guessing the three specialties we have represent the subskills we'd end up with, though which would end up our main one is a toss up between the first two I'd say.
This is kind of annoying, since it means literally none of our techniques can be given to the Horror barring Luminescent Star, and AFAICT the Horror can't use a bow. So basically, either we raise the cap on techniques to D rank, unlocking those seen in the spoiler below, or we find low level arts specifically for the Horror to use. Personally I lean towards the former.

I don't like wasting the cult roll if we don't actually get an art.

I wonder if ASA would be usable by it.
Qi doesn't work like that. Getting 80 successes gets us up to A5 base qi. Then the xp bar refreshes and we have to do it again.

Fine, I changed it to a 3rd sect job to grab more Larceny training.

[X] Plan setting up for the grind
-[X] Invest 4x YSS (+12 Free YSS)
-[X] High Resource Expense (YSS income wiped out, -5YSS reserves)
-[X] Buy sponsored Sect GSS
-[X] EPC bonus to EPC
-[X] Cultivate Spirit x4 (Presence x2 , Manip, Wits)
-[X] Cultivate Phys x4 (Dex x2, Stamina x2)
-[X] Cultivate EPC x4 (Perceptiveness x2, Stealth x2)
-[X] Cultivate SCS x3 (Dance x2, Wits)
-[X] Cultivate Argent Genesis x2 (Resolve x2)
-[X] Take Sect Jobs(Earns Sect Points 11-20 per AP) x2 (Survivalx2)
-[X] Research Arts in Sect Archive x1 (Academics)
OK, the point of this is to get AG1 this turn and set us up as close to EPC6 as possible for next turn, while still having SCS7 mostly done and most of the way to appraisal spiritual. The Research Arts is because I think we really need to have a solid art plan by the time we get to Green 3, as FSS/SCS/FVM/TRF all end up in green 2. This means we'll basically need to replace all our core arts by Green 3, and so research is paramount.
With having 2 sect jobs with larceny I am hoping to get close enough to EPC6 that we can get it next month with either 1 or 0 action, and thus take advantage of getting to appraisal to take advantage of the motion bonus for PLR/SCS as much as possible.

Again, Stamina likely dosn't need 2 dice on it since we'll get the next rank unless we roll a 1. I suggest a strength or other phys dice.

Is it possible we could reach EPC6 this month with 4 AP and 4 missions assuming EPC successes go well? Remember we might get discovery successes too in the new environment.
EDIT: Calcs: 44/500. +267 average successes is 311. Assuming max from tests (unlikely) is +120 for 431. Assume we get a bit from Discovery too. Also, the roll has sort of high variance with that many dice, a good set of rolls could easily be 300 instead of 267. It seems unlikely but not impossible.

No, not unless we get a new site and get elder lessons and get insanely good dice AND get hidden moon XP too.
Stamina is really important long term, while STR isn't (for me). After all, Stamina helps for both health and armour. I want to get our Stamina high, but I don't care about getting our STR high.

Fair enough
Then lets develop the Silk Guardians to the point where we can make them turn into Horrors themselves. Or otherwise level the Horrors up outright.

Everyone, if we aren't finishing EPC this month, that means we aren't switching to AG next month. Why do we need to then spend the 2 AP now to get AG 1? We can't train AG 2 until we switch to AG, which we can't do until the start of month 3 when EPC is capped in month 2.
