Huh so that's what AP hell looks like (aka social arts has tightened the noose)

I mean, if we want to be Green 5/Bronze 5, with our arts ready to go by the tournament, we're only 4 AP overdraft in arts...

...and 23 AP in base.

So, uh. Pray to the RNG to bless us with drugs, kay?

[X] Convince Li Suyin to come along. It would ease things along a good deal.

Won't we find out how suitable he is much more quickly if we go with him alone? We already saw in the update that Li Suyin's presence was making things less clear for Ling Qi.

This only really matters for those serious about setting a betrothal right now. Personally I'm not too worried and so aren't in a rush, rather stick with what I think would be more entertaining.

picklepikkl · Aug 28, 2019

I'm not in a rush to husbando him, but I still want to know what his deal is. I think we'll have an easier time cutting to the truth of the matter one on one, the way we did with CRX back in the day, before we swore fealty.

Suyin looks very interested, but we also knows she feels she owes us, so she'd try not to impose.
And while we can learn more in a 1 to 1 Ling Qi also isn't super comfortable with that. We got YEARS to hash this out. No need to rush it.

Wait, what does noble etiquette say about proper young ladies going off alone with boys?

75% odds the "correct" thing here is to have our "handmaiden" with us so it doesn't look like there's canoodling.

We already went with Xuan Shi on the quest for smutty novels.

I wanna figure out this guy's deal.

Also, wow I'm torn between Muse and Saboteur. I want them both. Prance around wearing our feelings on our sleeves while foiling plots left and right. AP hell is cruel.

Also figured I'd share our current AP plan projections:

I don't think you're a crutch or a shield. But if you are that means you're our right hand gal! <3

@Black Noise I don't suppose you could explain what we're seeing there? I see a lot of colored boxes but I have no idea what they mean or why they imply praying for pill gacha.

It's part of my visual representation of the AP costs for everything we want to train in this spreadsheet ("AP costs - base" tab).

To clarify a little for people who don't want to go look at the spreadsheet, every colored block is 1 AP. Green and Orange are Spiritual and Physical Base. Gray and Blue are Argent Genesis and Songseeker Ceremony. Yellow are meridian actions, Bright Pink archive dives, and Black are our set social obligations (family, FenFen tutoring). The purple is AP spent on all other arts.

The main part of the chart is the 20 AP we spend every turn. The area above that are effective AP gained from other sources, like Music and EPC drip, or gained via drugs. The circled area is what we're hoping to gain via drugs. As you can see, it's a nice little pile, and while we've gotten a lot of nice drugs in the past which served as the basis for estimating the sort of gains we might be able to squeeze out of drugs, so far the ones that have popped up recently are not very good for the cost...

Setting a goal of Green 5 / Bronze 5 and our current arts, each box in the upper area represents 1 action we are short. In other words, if we don't "earn" actions in some way, usually incredible pills, we'll fail at that goal.
