I'd say Strength would help most, actually, since that would increase the most derived stats at once (Speed (which we definitely use), archery physical offense penetration, Dance physical penetration) the other stat we really need to work on urgently is Presence, since that boosts our music.

Well, the Black Pool at least is part of Zeqing's domain, so being able to train with her seems like it'll allow access to it.

Issue is we can only train an attribute for 2AP per turn, because ... reasons. we need to figure out what to train with the rest of the time.
Ok, nvm my Dex objection then.

Eh, not really. Speed runs into the problem of movement being useless due to everyone having biotic charge. Archery we don't care about. Dance is a fair point.
Overall though, Dex is way more important, affecting speed, initiative, stealth, and avoid. We can theoretically hit S Dex in two years, but we need to make sure we get at least 2 Dex dice every month.
Considering expression is literally no longer trainable it wouldn't make sense for the it being uncapped to not apply to its' derived skills, which makes the advantage from it that instead of the derived skills of Dance/Music/Art capping at S rank for the Green realm they instead get to have another go around.

Wait doesn't attribute ranks drop for each level up ? Otherwise our Music A rank makes us competitive with Green 8 Disciples... which is ridiculous.
Er music once it hits S rank will split into new derived skill though? This should be the case for anyone who reaches Green 8 as well, or whatever skills they specialize in.
Edit
No wait according to the skills section it should be splitting at A rank, and is simply waiting on a narrative event to do so?

Ok, cultivation planning spreadsheet is now online.
Here
Provide useful summaries like this (High levels of pills, 16 YSS):
Physical (4) = 408 * 1.2. Expected result: ~330/1200xp. ~3.23 turns remaining to level
Spiritual (4) = 428 * 1.2. Expected result: ~959/1200xp. ~0.85 turns remaining to level
Eight Phase Ceremony (EPC) (4) = 404 * 1.2. Expected result: ~310/500xp. ~0.71 turns remaining to level
Sable Crescent Step (SCS) (4) = 404 * 1.25. Expected result: ~320/500xp. ~0.65 turns remaining to level
Argent Genesis (AG) (2) = 132 * 1.7. Expected result: ~123/100xp. ~0 turns remaining to level
So, based on this I'd recommend not using a GSS yet. Most of our things don't really need it to hit their targets faster, and we can always do, say, 2 GSS next turn for the same result.
Better to wait and see what our EPC successes do first and where we want to shave off things.

I'm happy with this if we substitute a YSS for the GSS. Reasoning is per @Erebeal post above.

Your numbers are suspect, for example:
132*1.7=224.4

Just saw his post, and makes sense, so give me a sec.
[ ] Plan Dancing Through Danger
-[ ] Invest 4x YSS (+12 Free YSS)
-[ ] High Resource Expense (YSS income wiped out, -10 reserves)
-[ ] Cultivate Spirit x4 (Presence x2 , Wits x2)
-[ ] Cultivate Phys x4 (Strength x2, Stamina x2)
-[ ] Cultivate EPC x4 (Perceptiveness x2, Stealth x2)
-[ ] Cultivate SCS x2 (Dance)
-[ ] Cultivate Argent Genesis x4 (Resolve x2, Composure x2)
-[ ] Research Arts in Sect Archive x2 (Academics)
Ok since nothing needs to be rushed as @Erebeal showed, dropped the GSS so we can start hoarding them for when we do need to rush something.

@yrsillar should this use Dexterity+Music now? Also what's the range on the AoE in the new system and what decides whether we can maneuver our opponent into that range?
132 is the dice. Each dice gives, on average, 0.55 successes.
132*1.7 is our number of dice. 123 is the expected number of success, which is dice multiplied by expected result of 1d10 with DC based on talent.
I don't think ranks drop, but I could be wrong. Haven't explicitly read it anywhere.

Yes, because the 224 dice will give on average 123 successes.
Also, we cranked that plan out (@tryrar ) quickly indeed. Just like the simulations!

There could be an argument for it based on the time value of cultivation. From a meta perspective we know Ling Qi is sort of rubber-banded but without that it could make sense to max invest in cultivation so that she can use the power up in order to acquire more resources to then max invest in cultivation and so on.
I think the new system has abstracted away the bursts of synergy that rewarded a GSS and pill stockpile strategy? I haven't mastered the spreadsheet, though.
They don't.
A good green 8 disciple would probably be running A-S in most stats, with possibly SS in their speciality.

Oh, so it's just poorly written. It's 132 dice give an average of 72.6 success with x1.7 give an expected result of ~123exp.
I guess cultivation Arts just continue to show how frieking slow they are to raise :/
Still there's something I can't put my finger on that's bugging me with those numbers...

My point was that we don't want to overspecialise in a single stat. Currently it's our Strength and Presence that are dragging our derived stats down the most, particularly since our music doesn't actually do that much damage at the moment to a peer opponent.
Or put it another way: at the moment, we can only really win a challenge under ideal conditions. If we boost things so we are better all-round, we're less dependant on the exact challenge.
1) why would she?, they are barely acquainted.
2) the obvious answer is: Linq qi has no way of knowing this.

So, is Ling Qi going to get the chance to sit down and plan out her Arts advancement through Green? Seems like something her patron would be supportive of.
Because continuing to open Meridians haphazardly, as has occurred to some extent due to not having a solid macro plan, seems like it could become a real handicap.
