Oh, right.

Assuming you're not playing on Immortal, you can check; the Observatory grants you the ability to see the elemental influences on specific squares. Click on the yin-yang to bring it up.

Note that there's gonna be confounding influences; everything gets influenced by the ground it's on, and if you haven't cleared the area of plants yet you're going to see even more Wood Influence than the ground gives.

Personally, I generally don't bother with the Ginkos, at least for Qi Gather, but at the very minimum it's not a disadvantage to Wood Cultivators.

Almost forgot. Isn't wood qi set-up for Fire Cultivators? Or do you mean "for wood cultivators Gingko will also do despite giving wrong Qi"? That still make it useless as Wood set-up is best with Yin-Yang Ice-Fire set-up for mixed Wood-Earth room as innate temperature control is life (and resource) saver.

This.

Having elemental influence of the same (or following, I think?) type doesn't help, but it's not like it hurts, either.

But yeah, there's a reason I never bother with the ginkos: by the time I'm GCing a wood or fire cultivator, I've probably planted and set up a Crimson Fruit and Gnarled Vine. It's Earth, Metal, and Water that I'm scraping for every advantage for. And water's not actually hard, if you're willing to burn your free Lumina Core on it.

Okay, I've never gotten even close to the point where this would be pertinent myself, but can't you pretty much handle Earth via Dragon Poop? Or is that simply not enough for the levels you aspire to?

That would be the Metal cultivator, but yes, if you unlock Wyvern Pool aggressively, you could have Dragon Poop aplenty by day ~47, which is about when I'm getting my Metal GC (and after I've gotten my Earth).

The problem is, I prioritize unlocking Gemspring Cave and Glimmer Cave at Mt. Shu first, for the Earth Flux and getting an Earth PS asap. It nets me loads of Jade Essence, though, so not exactly terrible for Metal as is.

If I got lucky with Ocher Essence when fetching the Junk Pills, I'll use those.

Bleeeergh. I feel like stopping playing this game until they'll separate cleaning job from carrying job. Especially as cleaning tasks are last in the queue.

Vessels are great. Made out of spiritstone blocks, they'll last a long time, move really quickly, and get all your peon jobs done asap so your Outers can focus on the interesting stuff.

There's actually a Wonder that you can build at fully upgraded cities that gives you a pair permanently too, which means you don't even need to pay attention to maintaining them.

By the time you have enough Vessels to not care about cleaning... hauling is usually sorted enough to not care about cleaning anyway (unless you are in canyon and half of the map is still unmined).

And having enough spiritstone block is even farther than that. Cleaning is bane of initial period, when you get going it's not issue.

Ruins of Taiyi has two stacks of Spiritstone Block, each of which can have quantities of around ~200. I usually use those for an initial run of Spiritstone Bows, myself, and if you know the trick to unlocking the Ruins early they're technically acquirable Day 2.

Of course, I wouldn't recommend 16 Supreme Steps as your starting law, so you still wouldn't be able to get a vessel until Day ~22 anyway, and actually carving a vessel takes a long time for your crafter.

... If you want something quicker as a solution, how many disciples do you currently have? I'll note there are a bunch of locations you can Enter early with random mortals, and if your starting cultivator has enough Social to get people to admit their favorite things, it's not hard to recruit a lot of mooks with half-decent stats. Even if you've only talked to one other cultivator, mortals are pretty reliably interested.
 
Soooo... if you your first random visitor is Golden Core (well, VIII so not THAT good, but...) and you manage to persuade them to join your sect... what should you do ASAP given chance?

PS. Also I kinda don't understand why cushion have lowest Qi despite being surrounded by everything...

In the very early game, if they're your first Golden Core? Learn weather miracles, if they can manage 20k Qi. (If they're close, Meditation might get you the rest of the way.) Have them Mentor your first Inner Disciple. Adventure to unlock locations and grab resources.

There's a few Talismans that are useful but can't be learned before Golden Core too, if you've grabbed the Talisman Law.

After you've gotten a GC capable of doing all the above, though...

Have them Transcribe Knowledge at the manual pavilion.

They're almost certainly? not a follower of one of the Taiyi Laws - basic or advanced - and that means the law they follow is some degree of junk, but even junk laws can have elements worth preserving. And if one doesn't, the manual pavilion still starts giving discounts if you can stuff enough into it.

Once you've done that... well, are their stats any good? Can they ascend to immortality with their current law? If the second is yes, maybe do that; if only the first is, consider Rebirthing them; if neither is... use them as a cheap explorer / looter until you need more room in your Sect.

Random laws can have really nice stuff if you know what you look for.

What you want are spells (More healing spells never hurt) and cheap attribute boosters, specially luck boosters.
 
So, I'm new (ish) to the game and I'm getting a handle on some stuff. I lucked out with a Tiger Yaoguai (who is now a Body Cultivator with the starting Law) with pretty good attributes and over 300 days til tribulation. He's doing bones right now, and I've just finished stage 4 Mixed Arm on the left and I'm halfways through on Stage 3 on the right.

I have several questions, but the main one is... How do I get to the organ stage?

Should I do the Shield Legs now? The Pelt? Just double down on the arms? Does adding essences make this go faster?

Getting to Organ stage requires you to go up a level, I think; you'll need to keep remolding until you can attempt a breakthrough. You should be able to see it in your Law info tab. I think you can also see what you'll need for future levels in your parts so you can remold to heaad for those even if you don't have access to all the components you need until you break through.
 
I misspoke.

Which option is the best when in the process of getting to organ? Is it better to have many secret bodies or increase just the arms for more OraOraOra?

Also, another question. How many Marrow cultivators does ot take to raid a neighbor sect? I'm planning to get this bad boi to organ either way, but I doubt that would be enough to solo an entire sect.

That and more people means they can carry more loot.

Neighbouring Sects are all massive cheaters; if you have to ask for advice your cultivators will not be good enough to even think about taking them on, sorry to say.

It's not uncommon for them to have cultivators with 20+ million qi, which even a very dangerous body cultivator will have trouble with. They also use Formations.

Important detail of how Body Refining works: the later levels of any part are worth a lot more progress towards the next stage than the early levels.

So the best way to reach Organ stage fast is to pick a muscle that none of your current or future bodies are going to use, and crank it as high as it can go, not even bothering to spend essences on it.

Fair warning: Chaos Phase, unlike Demigod, doesn't give you any opportunity to delay Ascension. Get everything you can get done, done before entering it, or your cultivator will ascend before you finish your build.

Fist wizards, from my understanding, are pretty useful for murking the bosses - and if you lure specific targets out of sects, they're pretty good at murdering even really powerful single xiandao cultivators, assuming you've got lots of penetration on your build. Consider baiting Sect Leaders out of their base and murdering them on their lonesome, so you can bribe up their replacement for Favor and Connections.

There's an element of RNG to it but the chances are greatly affected by what kind of essences you use.

Some essences are ridiculously hard to come by and needed for certain labels (be prepared to cry when tribulation essence fails to generate the result you want multiple times in a row).

Even for the basic labels you specifically want to use intrinsic life essence (just dump a ton of animals in a room and have the cultivator breathe there, make sure the feng shui doesn't kill off the animals though), as it greatly increases the chance of you getting x10 tempered labels which greatly cuts down on the remolds and time needed.

This comment? Solid gold. Thank you dearly, kind stranger.

Now I just have to find more chickens and make a... wide room? Should it be a big room for lots of animals or a small room for more density?
