Threads Of Destiny(Eastern Fantasy, Sequel to Forge of Destiny)

Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
Something to keep in mind is that if we do end up doing the Mom social action, Government and Speech fit very well there.
Similarly, we've been focusing on our stuff very much for the past couple of months. It's kinda time for Renxiang stuff to happen, especially if yrsillar is wanting to get the main plot moving along a bit - as well as the hints just recently about Renxiang being overworked and stressed.

My feeling is that this is just a very good turn to focus on these things.
 
951-1000: 25 yellow stones
901-950: 1 green stone
851-900: 1 green stone, Least Argent Vent
825-850: 1 green +20 yellow, basic lessons, Lesser Argent Vent
801-824: 1 green +40 yellow. Second floor access reduced to 30 points
775-800: 2 green stone +40 yellow, second floor access reduced to 20 points. Standard Argent vent
725-776: 2 green stones +40 yellow, Second floor access free, third floor available,
701-724: 2 green stones +60 yellow, intermediate lessons. Third floor points reduced
675-700: 3 green stones +60 yellow. Third floor reduced, minor elder tutoring available, Greater Argent Vent
We don't have that much motivation to aggressively climb the ranks at the moment. All we get is better library access and we already have more arts then we can cultivate at the moment. Might as well wait a bit until we can jump all the way to 724. Study the people at that rank in the meantime.

I wonder if we can get another sable light pill? It would be great to buff up our Qi again.
 
Considering that we got our first ones courtesy of Xin, best way we'd get them is a random Moon-related roll. So it'd be some really good luck from Moon Quest or the Moon Map.
 
Myself I immediately thought that Ling Qi will be the voice whispering in the back of people's heads going 'remember who you are, this isn't you' when someone tries to take contro

I....think we might've already seen this Domain ability used on screen.

"Zeqing is my teacher, and that makes Hanyi my junior sister. I'm not going to betray that duty because of a… a, damn muscle spasm like you!"
 
[X]Plan: Moon and Snakes
[X] Skill plan: Help with more finesse

Dexterity definitely seems more powerful than presence, even if it takes twice as long to level. Domain weapon stats, initiative, phys avoid, stealth, PLR hit, and CtE hit are all influenced by dexterity and are all very important for Ling Qi. Speed is improved as well, although that's less important. Presence, on the other hand, only improves spiritual penetration which Ling Qi doesn't rely upon very much, even though it is important for her fighting style. Some of the attributes affected by dexterity are also relatively low ranked, so it's important to bring them up to speed.

[X]Plan: Resolved to dance
-[x] Resolve x4*, Presence x4*, Composure x1*
-[x] Sable Grace x3**, Fortitude x4*, Dance x4**
-[x] Dexterity x4*

So the goal of this skill plan is to train dexterity, while keeping resolve.
 
So if Qi upgrades in A works like A -> A10 -> A20 -> A30 ->........S, would it be safe to assume it works the same way in lower levels except the next level upgrade is lower? (like C10 -> C20 -> B ->B10)


Aside from that inquiry, gotta list the stuff Hanyi needs to train (aka I'm bored). Me thinks she has lack of health so Stamina's right up there. There's also the STEALTH that she needs to work on. Admittedly, if you think of her derived attributes, Hanyi is actually better at Stealth than Yellow Zhengui due to their Dexterity, which may not be true for long with Green Zhengui.

Also gotta mention
Perception
Combat Perception: E10 (Wits D, Perceptiveness D)
Social Perception: E10(Wits D, Empathy E)
Why Wits over there is D when
Mental
Intelligence: D
Wits: E
Resolve: C
It says her Wits is actually E. We need to have her train that as well

A lot of her skills emphasises that the only thing she good at are singing. Only decent stats are Athletics, Dodge, and Resilience. She may upgrade a lot of those once she reaches Appraisal, but until then, she's a bit of a burden in a lot of areas that makes her dependent on Zhengui. Good thing we have Sixiang with us to assist with the teaching. :p Oh and also Xiao Fen as well to add to the shenanigans. They can be fellow students.

Basically, it's E10 Combat Perception because it's Wit E, perceptiveness D (the Wits is wrong but the result is right) and it's E10 Social Perception because it's Manip D, Empathy E (it's Manip instead of Wit, so the result is right).

But yeah, Hanyi needs better muscles.
 
Hanyi has a physical body, she can wear up to three pieces of gear as opposed to Six that can't wear any.
I think it's relatively normal that she is innately somewhat weaker as a result.

[X] Skill plan: Renxiang needs Help!

To be honest, when Meizhen eventually marries, I feel more sorry for the husband-to-be than her. It's horrible to have a wife who obviously disdains you and is absolutely fucking terrifying. It's unlikely that their relationship ever progresses to the point where Meizhen's domain stops trying to put the fear of god into him... Yeah, he's unlikely to bother her any more than is absolutely necessary.

Just because she is female doesn't make her the victim in an arranged marriage.
Just look to Shenhua's husband. She doesn't bother to be subtle that he's basically just a sperm donor and she's involved with her minister.

Its not going to be happy for anyone.
Ha, wow

Hanyi as Control Tower with Zhengui will be disgusting.
Their combat debut in a challenge will be a sight to see alright.
Getting Pulled by Lonely Winter Maiden's siren song into Zhengui's zone of entangling death.

...she can literally go hunting by sitting on Zhengui and pulling in snacks to share.

....lets call Xiulan.
We have a little sister to dress up.
 
By the way, does it say anywhere what Cold meridians do? I'm thinking they probably grant innate Qi drain abilities, since that seems to be a common property for Cold Arts.
