Forge of Destiny(Xianxia Quest)

@Neptune, given that if you use the Tea for Zephyr we can get ZB3, do you mind switching your normal cultivate art Zephyr to with Suyin, your meridian on Tea to cultivate, and Tea to Zephyr (so a second full roll)? Sure, it means not getting progress on FVM, but Zephyr has 3 pills working for it this turn, and getting its capstone is worth less progress for now for FVM. FVM is also easier to improve with EPC.
No. First off I don't believe that's how tea works as we got a separate roll last time due to it being a separate action, everything we've seen so far wiht other actions when doubled is it should just give us a Time bonus. Second, we've seen IC information that there are different classes of arts and Zephyr's Wind is below that of our Yin/Darkness arts in quality so for obvious reasons I'd prefer leveling them up.

Nope. Tea explictly causes a second roll. See the first time we used it.

We want to upgrade Zephyr because it gains a defense tech at level three and it's our only serious attack.

The 'I prefer FVM' is a fair argument (especially as FVM is better also because it's a much higher quality, not a element thing), but Tea always gives a full roll, that's what's so good about it.
I would say no to including them in training again just yet, they are clashing far to much for our current level of social to keep up with.
Yeah, took it off for now.

B-But muh shipping and muh cute developing romance :cry:

Though would we really need to do more social rolls? We already passed the roll to make Xiulan behave after all and Fan Yu Han Fang will follow Han Jian's lead. It also helps train our social too.
 
I am just happy we tried looking for the original owner. No more guilt, we tried.

And can anyone come up with reasons how merging our two group of friends is a great idea? Bonus points if include snek

The roll was for ensuring that we could even start and initial reception... we somehow had a miracle with 4 suc and the results was at best meh.

Now we got Gu Xiulan's hostility towards Su Ling to work against, added to that we have Suyin backsliding and the dislike that Fan Yu and even Han Fang have towards Su Ling. To many fires, to little dice and we really should not trust in a miracle happening again.
 
Han Jian coughed to draw your attention,
slip in 2nd person

It didn;t help that her ears caught the word going around
didn't

'Pet me. The slacker's has naught to do with it.'
's?

she should be more annoyed by the spirits demanding and haughty tone
spirit's

Ling Qi didn;t miss the way he looked briefly at her
didn't

Heijin did not reply immediately ,nuzzling at her
immediately, nuzzling
The little gold furred tiger cub was easily as first as her or Xiulan
fast?

and XIulan was seated on a wide stone, meditating
Xiulan

Gu Xiulan's sharp gaze met hers for a moment and Ling Qi didn;t waver
didn't
"MIss Ling, Miss Gu,"
Miss

Ling Qi blinked, his expression hadn;t changed a bit.
hadn't
She heard the tumbling crack of their male teammates
teammate's

EDIT: also WTF, I was doing other stuff but 5 pages of discussion in between reading and posting the typos?

Yeah, getting four successes on four dice was pretty astounding. We should probably give them some time to cool off and we need to work on both groups to get them more accepting of each other. On the other hand, we could just keep them separate since there appears to be some very grave prejudices on Han Jian's side and Su Ling and Li Suyin aren't socially strong enough to stand up against that kind of pressure.

How about going for a head meridian instead of a second heart, @Arkeus?
It is a dangerous one, but with amount of pills this week we are guaranteed to succeed, something we can't be guaranteed later.

And I expect the best passive buffs to be for spine and head techniques.

My issue with this is that we don't know if there is any Head or Lung techniques on the first floor of the archive. @yrsillar, did Linq Qi see any of those?
 
Oh god, we are going to get SO MUCH Qi this week if we stay on plan.

Assuming sable light works the same as last time we're going to be getting seven attempts at 26 dice a pop, 31 if site bonuses apply to those. Tragically Argent Soul DOESN'T boost sable light qi rolls or that would 32 or 26 plus 21 auto-successes.

Does cultivating FVM at the vent even count for giving the AS bonus? It's not like FVM benefits from cultivating there.
It does, just being at the vent gives the bonus. It's nice that way. Also, the extra Qi rolls benefit from vent (hopefully).

33. Talent 6+ Qi Foundation Pill 9+ Spirit Stone 5+ Sable Light Pill 5 +Vent 5 + Qi Expansion.

Bit confused. If we do ZB during Zhou's class do we still roll for physical? Think it's a waste if not... we could potentially be breaking through next week.

Are you sure that sable pill qi rolls do not benefit from Argent Soul?

We don't yeah, hence why I am conflicted between a version of my plan where we train physical cultivation there (but still train ZB twice) and one where train ZB in Elder Zhou's class.

Basically, training an art in Elder Zhou's class proc another 33 dices +3 bonus successes Qi roll, which is really neat, hence why we are doing it.

If we can put Overflow from meridians into Physical Cultivation I am tempted to do it, hence why I asked Yrsillar about it earlier. It will assure us getting Peak Gold and going to Silver week 13. Or else we could put it in Red Soul, and try for Yellow instead, so decisions.

They don't. They only benefit from resources. It's still 33 dices though, if vent works.

We do not, it is either a physical or an arts roll for that class. Think the plan is to have the overflow from meridians get us up to Peak Red, or depending on how overflow works Peak Gold, and grab as much as we can in qi bonus rolls (physical cultivation rolls do not trigger it) and from our arts.

Are you sure that sable pill qi rolls do not benefit from Argent Soul?
Talent 6, Red Spirit Stone 3, Sable 5, Foundation 9

Back in week 8 this is what we had as base for the qi bonus rolls.

This decision to disregard cultivation is stressing me out. Suffering the foe's two instant auto-successes for their being in early yellow versus our late red is going to sting something fierce.
