OK @yrsillar, questions time:

First Day Benefits
+15 dice to Spiritual and Physical cultivation up to Green/Bronze 1

'up to' green/bronze one means it works for green/bronze one, or stops working at green/bronze 1?

Ranking above Eight Hundred Fifty, but below Eight Hundred Twenty Five, she would receive a stipend of ten yellow spirit stones every week, and the rights to a home and cultivation site centered around one of the first Inner Mountains middle quality Argent Vents. In addition to that, ranking above Nine Hundred gave her the right to attend freely the lessons of the Elders on the first mountain, and peruse the first floor of the Inner Sect's arts archive freely.

Argent Vent(Lesser): Grants 15 resource dice to spiritual and physical cultivation. Increases successes when cultivating Argent Arts by a factor of 1.2. Grants one virtual Yellow Stone per week(4 per turn) to cultivation.

It used to be 'middle quality' argent vent, but it seems it's now 'lesser'. Is this a change of mind?

You have 20 AP to spend this month

As can be seen above, the 10YSS were supposed to be weekly. Does this mean CRX GSS is also weekly?

Dat Argent Arts bonus.....

1.2x more successes thanks to the vent and +5 dice when cultivating them along with the free Yellow stones makes for a nice boost :3
 
So, I'm eyeballing this a bit to work on a proto-plan

@yrsillar

We're still getting +10 YSS weekly, as of what we were told at the end of the previous thread, right? If so, we can barely afford a max stone + High Pill month to help clean out our backlog of core stuff, and open up next month for Argent progression and new stuff from the Archive.

Current proto-plan has us pushing SCS 7, Physical Cultivation and Spiritual Cultivation, and the next EPC rank, and using our 4 remaining AP split between two in an archive dive to start cleaning up our archive stuff, and 2 opening up two new Head Meridians.

@yrsillar - Can you move the cultivation details into the Tutorials section instead of the first post?
Also, can we have the plan vote in a spoiler? As it is, I feel like it might scare prospective readers...

Why the head meridians?
 
Huh no overflow from meridian cultivation, and a limit of one AP per meridian makes them a pain to unlock.
 
Been doing some theorycrafting to see if I've got the idea. Resource expense subject to change, pending knowing what our

[ ] Proto-Plan Alpha
-[ ] Invest 3x YSS and 1x GSS (+12 Free YSS)
-[ ] High Resource Expense (YSS income wiped out, -10 reserves)
-[ ] Cultivate Spirit x4 (Presence)
-[ ] Cultivate Phys x4 (Str)
-[ ] Cultivate EPC x4 (Perceptiveness)
-[ ] Cultivate SCS x4 (Stealth)
-[ ] Meridian (Head)
-[ ] Meridian (Head)
-[ ] Research Arts in Sect Archive x2 (Academics)

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to specify the art(s) to look for still
 
Don't vote yet, I had Xs by accident, it's a proto-plan to see if it's working right.

Just from a quick check though, this is much easier than the old messes.
 
You might want to make a threadmarked substantial post in the old thread to actively let people know this thread exists. I only noticed because of the Discord.
 
Hallloooooo peoples.

I laughed myself silly at the tall person problems and Ling Qi's insistence on weaponized fashion.
 
It is super-pointless to take meridians first. Any meridians we assign now are basically permanent and not having the right endgame combination is currently the #1 thing that can fuck over our build forever. Even more important than slotting arts into Domain. Know what arts we want in combination before we train meridians.
 
Alright, this looks a lot more pretty than the good ol' conditionals trains back in the day.

Lovely start, even if I only got a second page post.
 
A note. Using 1 GSS is SUPER expensive - it is about 100rss/action 20 dice. Compare to getting High Resources (+10 dice for +25 rss) and Very High Resources (+10 dice for +35 rss), it isn't a good deal. We will have to wait until we have access to more GSS for that to be worthwhile. Or until we need it for meridians, I guess.
 
We clearly should put all of our training actions into Dance. We will dance our enemies to death.
 
@Alectai how is this for the archive trawl?

-[]Perception art with one of:Water, Darkness, Moon, with possibly a wind secondary element
-[]Speed/Agility/Evasion art with at least one Heart Meridian and one of:Wind, Water, Darkness(the upgrade for Fleeting Zephyr is acceptable too)
 
We weren't asked to look for anything in particular with the archive trawl though? It doesn't work the same way it does in the old game, where we had to micro.

I guess he's taken the criticism to heart and will just take the research and just give us a solid, flavorful art that fits our build.
 
@yrsillar - does cultivating a cultivation art still zero out progress on other cultivation arts?

In a similar vein, can we cultivate both AG and EPC in the same month? What about the same week? (Or is there a 4 AP limit on Cultivation Arts collectively?)
