We could Perfect Ember-Winged Cloak, which should in theory unlock free flight, even if it might need a little boost in speed to be on par.
But I got a feeling in xianxia free flight is far from the map unlock it would be in other quests, we won't be the only thing in the skies, and well... 'Here be Dragons'

For the record, we're working on this. We're about 16 turns (ie: less than three years) away from it at 1d invested in EWC per turn.

We could get it a lot faster if we did a focused turn on it, and I think we'll want to in time for Vestfold given how much of a force multiplier Free Flight is, but our priority right now is nudging our stats up another point each. The Fylgja Evolution should give us some very nice options (Doubly so if the fact we've been Odr Infusing it influences the evolution picks too), and based on what we've seen, Fylgja 7 is the point where a Fylgja stops being a neat gimmick and becomes a significant tactical tool.

Out of curiosity, what made you folks click on the quest for the first time?

Alright, calling the vote now. A little sad you didn't decide to solo the Fenriskin, but at least you didn't chicken out from fighting it at all ;P

Don't think Odr infusing would effect Flygja evolution, but I can see some more major bonus from infusion when it reach the higher rank or when the Fylgja is more powerful and thus has more options for the Odr to help.
In regard to perfecting EWC. It's basically already free flight in combat, Not the greatest with the combat mechanics so correct me if I'm wrong, but 6 Orth is already pretty laughable in term of price, it mattered with it was 12 and we had like 100 Orth, not really now.
What it does matter is long distance flights, depending on how IF decide to make it fit, we could theoretically already fly to a lot of places depending on speed and duration of the trick. And also depend on how Orth regeneration, Aspect unstocking work. Fly use Apects land and take a breather and go on, but that depend on how IF balance it. and would be moot once we master it anyway.

The Xianxia tag. Also I was curious about how you would incorporate Norse stuff into it.

Realistically, I don't think we'll be able to hit Perfected EWC before Vestfold if we're also raising the stats. We can get all three stats up pretty reliably, mind you, but it'd take some inordinately good luck to have the free dice to also raise EWC all the way afterward...and honestly, if we had the free dice it's arguable whether this is even the right choice of thing to raise. It's not the lowest priority, but I think there are higher ones.
This is largely correct, yes.
I like Norse Mythology and Xianxia, and had actually been thinking about alternate culture cultivation systems and how neat comparing those was (largely from those portrayed in Threads of Destiny), so I was curious to see how this Quest would handle it.

I saw a xianxia tagged fic, sniffed for harem taint and didn't find any, so it got added to the read list.

Respectfully. I doubt that the Odr infusion's won't have some effect on the direction of evolution. I do think that kennings probably have a bigger impact on it than the Odr will.
Edit: This is mostly on conjecture from Steinar but still.
Edit: Quick question to anybody. How close are we to the next stage of cultivation? I know we wanted to refine the homestead and do some more experiments, but we could just go ahead right now if we wanted?

Got done with checking for updates for my followed quests and various stories, of which one of is Virtuous sons, checked what new quests there were, and just happened to find this alternative Xianxia quest right on the Adult Responsibilities Part, the rest is history.

We need to hit 81 Odr, so we're three turns away no matter what (we also need to build our house, but three turns is probably enough for that). We also want to wait until we're no longer pregnant, which is 5 turns. We're actually set up to do it right then, though waiting a few more turns to get our Hugr and Fylgja Infusion to 6 is tempting and defensible (especially if our fields are still sub par at that point).
That additional wait would probably put it 7-8 turns out if we did it.

I tend to check quests that have high word count, views, and regular updates (plus there's very few good long term Xianxia quests out there that stays alive for long of which this is a part of the club.)
And I have to say after catching up and then actively participating, it's basically a giant adrenaline rush to be a part of SV history. Doubly so because it's just so good due to your own efforts, IF.

Don't we have 17 RN? Honestly have no idea how we track Odr.
True that.

We're still using it to infuse when we can. And we still have to build our fancy inner house and see if we can squeak up our fields another rank or two before we do our breakthrough.

Odr is very specifically something only an already established Norse can do, the entire system of it is build to it, with both generation depend on Orth and what is required to start it, it's not the cultivate from age 10 of other Xianxia.
So I can't really see it possibly kneecapping some of your potential if you start it with an already existing capabilities, which an evolved Flyjga would count. Just as I don't think us starting Odr infusion on Hamr and Hugr with them being high level matter.
Kenning effecting is something I agree a possibility, because both the entire motive of Norse culture is the Saga, and Kenning are distinct thing that is always available, but it would be more options, not some stronger evolution possible. I can't see an Odr optioned evolution as something that would be equal to the non Odr options.

We do. We gain only 22 a turn, however, so we're at least three turns out from hitting 81 even if we never spent any. That number might go up slightly after the hunt, but definitely not to the 32 which would be needed to make it less than 3 turns.
And, of course, we actually don't want to do it in less than 5 turns because trying to go up a Realm while pregnant seems like a terrible idea.

That's possible, yes. And I have it penciled in for Turn 1 of Winter...it was penciled in for next turn but got preempted by the famine and thus the trading expedition.

It's because of how important Odr is to Halla's saga and the tie back to Blackhand and how he is remembered by Steelfathers and the strong for Odr that I think we might have a Odr evolution. It's like how we had a Hugr based evolution.
Thanks for the explanation.
Yeah I kinda don't want our subteranean adventure's advice rewards to go unused.

I am just slowly working through SV's quest backlog for interesting looking stuff to read, sorting by highest wordcount. I got to this one and it was still going so why not join it

I have alerts for new quests, I came over, pressed the Watch button, gave a like, then waited for the quest to stew into something I would like (or not).
