I believe so.
I definitely want to spend all five training days learning to read. We're getting close! Between this and one more month we'll finally have it.

Leatherworking wouldn't be bad either. With that we'd be able to make something more valuable out of the more conventional loot from a hunting trip.I believe so.

Err... I'm not sure. I thought we'd get more than that out of 5 focused days of reading, especially with Yaxkin more focused than usual IC after realizing how important reading is literally everywhere she goes. @Azel, can you clarify?

I don't think we should learn about leatherworking now, since in the future we'll hunt less and less common animals, maybe even stop altogether. Since we won't go out to grab herbs and make cures, we should spend the majority or our time learning to read, with a day on the market to both see the lil thief and get our necessities, from healing to travel food. I mean, after we can read and have our better equipment, does anyone think we shouldn't leave for our next adventure, whatever it may be?

Those would need us to spend days doing alchemy, but if we can finish learning to read and have days to spare, I don't see why not.

Worth a shot.
So @Azel, how many d100s for reading do we get if we learn that for 5 days? Is it just one? More?

Only 1d100 as usual for that timeframe.Worth a shot.

You could get quite ludicrous sums for Demon parts...
Didn't get around to responding to this the first time but I doubt this very much, who has a use for it?
Who can work with the parts, will notice or appreciate the difference from MW Spirit gear, afford it, not simply try to kill us for it etc.
I believe we'll get more beans for it in an absolute sense but I very much doubt that the risk/reward ratio will be even half that of standard Spirits.
Better off just hunting X Fleshweavers for parts to the value of 1 Y.
Then again we're a tribal girl within 100ks of everywhere we've ever been, maybe the Wisemen are tiny backwards fish.

The difference between Demon and Spirit parts is rather noticeable, even for the layman. Though the former are only useful for more esoteric things.

A lot of that would probably depend on how it works- if it's just magical Adderall, I don't expect there to be much of a cost.

Damn. This is taking a lot longer than I thought. Oh well. By the time we finish learning to read we'll be rich.

Learning new skills does take a while and some of the more esoteric ones will take months to years.
That being said, you don't need to get into life and death battles every month.

@Azel, are we allowed to stack the reading action? Maybe spend 10 days on it instead of 5? Or is 5 the limit?Learning new skills does take a while and some of the more esoteric ones will take months to years.

It's a regular training action. You get 1d100 XP for every 5 days spend on it.

@Azel, is there a limit to how many times we're allowed to take the reading action? Once that's answered I can try to whip up a proper turn plan.

Nope. Do it as often as you like. It's Ixtlis repayment for saving his bacon, so he won't object if you keep him busy for a month or two.

Alright, @all, preliminary plan. Nothing but training and stuff before we get our gear. Still up in the air for what we do after, but I'd like to hunt that silver peccary.

I'll just go for a basic plan given none have been proposed so far; that has two sets of reading and writing actions, meet Ichiua/go to the Market so we can get rumors and see whats available, and contact Matlal again so it's not going to be a super dense update for the author. Given we're not doing either alchemy or trials, I'll just put it in a general plan instead of micro managing the dates and the author arrange it however they believe it's best narrative. We'll also likely get sub-turns for Matlal and Iciuhca as well, where ideally we arrange to meet with Matlal so he can examine us to see if what we did is bad for us in general and whether we should still try to complete the trials and enter the Wise Men. We also really want to take him to the ruins.
I've included asking if Xochi would like to join us in learning, as we're still pretty much on the basics and teaching two people shouldn't be much different than one. It's also a valuable skill for her to learn if we're going to continue ruin hunting, or even if she goes off on her own in the future.
[X] Plan Read and Write
-[X] 10 days Reading and Writing w/ Xochi if she's interested.
-[X] Contact Matlal
--[X] Performed ritual, healed. Prefer examination if safe, like to meet. Found ruin, valuable inside, help acquire.
-[X] Meet with Iciuhca/Go to the market
As for the internet point on what Xochi bought, something spider related? A pendant or necklace?
