I'd rather get a level 2 art off the bat.
3 meridian and 2 element arts are the realm of Level 2. And that sounds very much like something we want.
[X] Plan Preparing for Learning
Next week we do Condor or Investigate or any other 10pt+ mission, get sweet, sweet Level 2 attack art.
I really have no interest doing Cai's mission with Li Suyin. That sounds absolutely terrible.
How do you think it would look to others if we have this submissive little waif cowering at our side while we did all the talking? It's not exactly the most intimidating or dignified picture. It is a good way to both shoot up our reputation and also paint Li Suyin a target for retaliation for no reason.

But yeah, if we can get 10 more Sect Points, we can use our Library Action to get a level 2 Art instead of a Level 1, that's definitely worth the effort, and I asked about it too, so we can do a "If we fail the mission, get a Level 1 Art instead"

Yeah, the Li Suyin part is not in my plan because I'm seeing a lot of ambivalent people about it. Getting an archive art without the necessary blank meridians just means you can only have one of the two equipped, but @yrsillar has confirmed we'll choose which of our arts are equipped at the beginning of an event, so I don't really care if we learn Arm art or SCS first as it won't matter at all.
[X] Plan Preparing for Learning
I disagree heavily with this, due to the sheer fact you're making this assumption when you can quite easily just ask the author whether it would be fine or not.
He's only confirmed that for same elements though. Re-tuning a meridian for a different element can only be done by the week (like picking cultivation arts).

What's the deal with this? Could you explain please? This keeps confusing me everytime it comes up. Why not 3r/1y if we can still use red stones in addition to the vent stone. Or just the single yellow. I had asked at one point and you gave me the impression at mid silver / early yellow we can NOT use red stones in exchange for using two yellow.

It's not in my plan, but thanks that confirm people don't like it.
Sure, but that's not something we want from the get go considering level 1 archive is already very good for now.
Why is it worth the effort? It means not getting a lot of things this week, and we can get the level 2 archive art soon regardless.[/QUOTE]
It's not an assumption when an author already has expressed not wanting too many times certain types of action. There is a reason why socials or 'text heavy' actions are limited.

[X] Plan Getting Armed
This is basically what I want in a plan. The two spiritual rolls, talking to Li Suyin, Making sure that Xuilan is doing ok, getting EPC upgraded, opening a meridian, and learning an art before we do some of the major missions. It would be nice if we could get that arm art before doing the Cai mission, but I don't know if that will be possible.

Highest cultivation determines how many of the higher tier stones we can use. Lowest cultivation determines the total number of stones.
We have spiritual 4 and physical 5. So that means we can use 2 yellow stones, but we can only use a total of 4 stones in all. Vent supplies 1 of the yellow stones. So 1 vent + 1 YS + 2 RS = full.

No, he has confirmed we can pick which art we begin at the beginning of an event no matter what. Same-element is for switching during the event.
At mid Silver/Early Yellow we can only use 4 stones total, as we need mid yellow AND mid silver to use 5 stones total. However, at mid silver we can use 2 yellow stones total, so instead of using 3r/1y, we are using 2r/2y

No, it can be done in the week. There's a difference. We don't have to select it at the start of a week, we only have to select at the start of an event.

Except that learning arts is a pretty big investment of time if we want them to perform at all. Especially level 1.
It's much better to pick up a high-tier attack art, comboing synergies and all, as that's one of the four basic arts we need, the others being Movement, Defense, Perception.
Besides, a more complex art sounds far more interesting, and is liable to get us, besides raw power, many more options.
[X] Plan Getting Armed
If we pick up a level 1 Archive Art with Wind, we can very likely train it to level 2 in this one action, with a good chunk of progress to level 3 assuming we aren't locked by meridians. 1 action to pick up an attack art to a usable level is a cheap price to pay. There's nothing stopping us from picking up a level 2 art later on, and digging through the archives properly will better prepare our expectations during that later search.
Plus, I'm not a fan of using a Highsun pill until we've picked up a couple more meridians.

We can pick up a first floor art, master it then get its second floor counterpart. I'm willing to bet that would be stronger than a pure second floor art because we spend more time on mastery.

I wasn't sold on a two element art before this turn myself actually. But Wind-Heaven would let us take advantage of our bloodline AND the site at the same time. That would be awesome.

Except we still need to get the site first and that at least 5 turns down the line because has group ain't strong enough yet, and bai can only carry so much

Also of note is that if we can get it ourselves, with our friends and such, without involving Cai we can come to her from a position of strength and make a decent ally as an equal. Which I know some people want her to treat us as an equal.

It's still something to work towards.
Besides, we now know that most Moon sites, which are what we really wanted, will also most likely boost Heaven. Makes sense, really.
So it's a good element to pick up, as we are bound to see them paired up later.
