For the people training FVM, maybe we should add a Gushing Spring Pill?

Already did for my Plan! Vote "As Swift as a Coursing River" Today!

We may not get AS 5 out of this plan right away, but it hits a lot of good buttons for social. Also, about the Li Suyin action, I personally believe that it can wait another week without damaging her.

As someone with a support focus, yes, we absolutely do.

I like @tenchifew's plan (EDIT: whoops sorry it's @Kshall's plan) but I want to get a head start on Han Jian's issues and I think training with his group is just going to make his and Xiulan's issues worse this week. This plan also prepares us for questing at the start of next week as we'll have some idea of what to do if we encounter a spirit we want to bind. I fully admit it's very social focused but I think this is one of the few chances we'll have to be comfortable enough to take a week of light training to sort out our major issues and backlog.

Mother for obvious reasons, tokens could hopefully be useful or at least tradeable/sellable, Suyin for obvious reasons, Han Jian to prep us for adventuring and try and help his jealousy issues, Meizhen as people seem attached to doing it this week, FVM to try and finish it up.

EDIT: Added gushing spring pill. Fixed bracket error.

Do we really want a pokemon spirit? Can we get rid of it if its growth doesn't match ours or are we locked to it forever?

Also, with the greater than likely possibility that we have Cloud Tribe heritage, we may be able to find out a way to merge the two methods and slowly grow our spirits or choose a couple to grow along with us.

@Thor's Twin and @Drake Azathoth we need you to make your vote by block, which means every votes as part of the plan (so not stat and not name of the plan) should have - before them.

Was what we got this week for FVM.

I figure we'll get Talent 6, Friends, 3 , Red 5, Yellow 5, Spring 3. Around 11 sucs~ If i counted correctly
I can't recall what we took medicine wise...but we should be fine without the gushing spring. Only need 8

See the purpose of the Han Jian action is to allow us to get a social that desperately needs attention as well as get information on how to exactly do the spirit binding. We don't know how, and we will need to know if we want to get anywhere with having Pokemon spirits helping us.

One thing that's cool is that we know there are synergies for certain action combinations. I think almost everyone is planning to take the Suyin social action next week that would study formations. So, a Suyin action to study formations + tokens => ??? => profit?

Thanks for the info, I'll go do that.

If you are going to be using an Argent Elixir, you should be doing physical cultivation. Swap out the tokens, maybe?

It works with combat arts as well. Not quite as good as doubling up with physical but I want to get as much social out of the way as possible.

For me, the purpose of the gushing spring pill is not to get the last dice needed to get the next level, but get the successes needed to make the total amount of successes divisible by three so we get as much out of Argent Elixir as possible.

You are not taking Elixir argent? If you do it helps with AS and it also helps with Spiritual Overflow, or with FVM next level.

TBH, while I know Arkeus and a few others are aiming for a 'support' build, the mechanical bonuses to wind arts we seem to get naturally and the bonus to arts with spine meridian requirements we've unlocked really paint a different picture for Ling Qi.

If anything, her natural bent seems more ranged DPS with support tacked on. I really would like to pick up a bow soonish, it's kind of a shame we didn't get one off the archer stooges. Might be a good route for indulging in payback next week- those three got off lightly.

Bows are good, but Wind arts are also support you know

It's not a either/are. And Spine arts are basically "everyone need those regardless".

No, boys were still barred from the female zones, the thought was still unsettling and unpleasant though.

@yrsillar Does this mean that girls are barred from the boys' zone? The reason I'm asking is if we need to restrict where we are thieving or if Ling Qi can steal from the boys' side as well.

is this related to that plant-and-hammer pokemon cultivation story? It was interesting but repetitive, and inferior in worldbuilding to the other story about "cultivation."
