Path of martial arts: leaked sneak peaks, and discussing thread

+15 if you beat the 1v3 being a E-H.

This scene can be so funny if you're a M-H and be like "I dunno, fighting 2 Early houtians is too much for me, can I just fight one? " (Canon Wu heir moment)

since you can actively farm prestige by humiliating him the whole fight

Kinda bullshit provoking him increases his stats since he already lowers yours. I'd say losing a round on doing nothing is enough of a punishment for the prestige...

I expect Nicky to limit the amount you get by saying the crowd is bored and they want blood now though.

Tigressmancers bout to crashout, all 3 of them lmao

 

[Seyiz]

The funny thing is, this is all his own doing. From the beginning until about December 2023, Tigress was the most popular RO by far, she won all the polls and such. She got zero ****ing story or content.

Mei was hated, one of my friends was one of her OG defenders in the discord, around when people started finding out about her poison, plus the old scene where she would secretly kill you? I think it was her at least. She was just a meme to like, before the red flag craze came.

What the hell did Niki think was going to happen when there were multiple updates only focusing on Mei? She was getting 99% of the content for a while, the other 1% was throwing a bone to the Ai fans.. which ironically enough when I was around discord she had one prominent defender, she was the most hated RO for being naive.

Might have been me lol, Mei or tigress

Nah make it a POV of Chu Muchen crying and shitting himself, also a scene where he gets rejected by one of the sisters he was previously cheating with lol. I want this man to never recover.

 

[Zeus]

Use Hao Fan's powder and **** him up then lmao, ****ing cockroach should've just stayed down the first time he got killed in the fight.

Talking all that **** only for the guy he was mocking to stand and do nothing and still won the fight.

I really love humbling the arrogant characters, would say I would love to do that to Ruo but I know that's book 2 epilogue stuff

Fraudalent behavior. Also allows him to hide behind what ifs.

I must admit I'm curious too. The max I managed to have is 10(Considering exactly the ones you didn't): 1) Gray-Raven. 2) Mei Agreement(By vowing to wipe LC entire bloodline or something like that). 3) 1v3 pre-Expo. 4) Ma Rin mission after coma. 5) After consuming Bohai's battle God pill if you don't have Iron Will or just don't restrain yourself at all. 6) Unlocking the partial Asura. 7) He Gang event. 7-10) Devil intervening either against DES or 1v12 increases the number of Breakouts by 3.

I assume he's considering the Breakouts post 1th Tourney phase. I don't know if each time we let the devil take control counts(And if it keeps the +3 Breakouts for every time he leaks), but if does, then there's one either against the twins or Muchen and the one against Chao.

There is a devil breakout for when AI gets ice'ed, you will get 2 when you go on a rampage. There is also another one when you learn RAF, you can use the devil instead of wasting qi. I got mine to 9, I didn't use the he gang, chao, DES or in the 3v3 breakouts.

In He gang I would lose the mei meeting and her 10% for all stats pill, with chao I would lose the dao perfection, 3v3 would mean I lose the wisp bonus of all spells costing 5 qi less, even if I use the devil on Chu muchen. I would still get the dao exp and qi, but no spell bonus.

So that's 15 breakouts in total.

The thing is money jumps in value in every rework, It goes from the least important thing ever, you give tigress as much gold as possible and buying the dragon ALLL she wants, to becoming the most important thing for any mortal/trash run.

assuming you have He deal you would spend,
75000 OR 50000 depending on heavenly mantle or lotus garb,
20000 OR 15000 depending on if you buy wisdom amulet or Buddha pendant,
the biggest cost is rings with each costing 12500 each, if you buy 10 it would cost 125000
or in total spending around
220K gold or 440k if no he deal/ no haggler
and adding say medical reasons and pills we can round it 550k(110k pills and medicine which would never happen)

40 k talisman + 5000 bracelet + 60 k auction pills + captivating beauty
so the total becomes 705k



i won't lie it aint a small amount neither mechanically nor narrativly, (idk who to spell someone please help me the grammar correcter can't find the word)
750k is enough money to put an extremely positive dent on our clan's finances.BUT it is so very easy to make that much money even without BoBucks and money scams

you can earn (assuming you play semi optimally)


750 Wu heir stipend
1000 inner disciple stipend (idk core disciple stipend
100-200 raven's gang
1500 protector tax
2000 he deal (no reveal)
~5000 in teaching disciples (both active and passively combined, though you can easily push this into 4 k passively and 4 k active making a total of 8 k )
~500 from jing guo ( it is very variable so ill just go on the extreme low end (btw niki fixed going to the wine shop skipping time, i luv you )
~3 k in sect points from arena
which brings us to a whopping
13850 a turn and sure this isnt that much (it is a **** ton actually)
it would take around 51 turns to buy all we need

but here is the thing we can scam people (and yknow actively choosing things that give us money)

so to begin
mo long bucks 20k
fire king mission 10k + 5 k if we scam the mortal
30k jing guo + 20k su de
3 k selling the apple
15k looting peng fai's mansion
100 k xiao chun
6k drinking competition
2 k first gambling 4k the second round of gambling
10 k rock gambling
~10k if we scam Fu bing (the guy in expo who holds the other qi stone/expo stone , i dont recall the exact number ill be honest)
5 k if we extort the twins in expo
2k jing guo drinking
15k abyssal lion
10 k first disciple scam plus 30 k to leave them behind / help them
5k ma rin mission
so the total compensation is
267k

705k - 267 = 438 k
438k /13850 = 32 turns


and i can assure you we have MORE than 32 turns POST expo

this is of course without he deal, with he deal you can cut the turns in half( though i did include it in the revenue calculation)


and this is could far more (bo bucks, he mei the snake's money, he bojing the big ol ding's money our mother's money)

so yeah, unless decided for the ultimate **** you, i think we should get another money sink
(ai costs 100k total, alot but not impossible)

ALSO CORRECT ME IF I MISSED ANYTHING ELSE

Correction fu bing and the twins gives you 2k each when you extort them.

There is also 100k from mei's uncle

1k is for the core disciple, 200 is for inner.

At some point gold is useless and is only good for refining qi. Like you wouldn't need to keep gold in reserve to buy anything after the auction, there is nothing to do with it.

Like this is my stats at the end of the game after using nearly 2 million gold. I still have over 1 million gold left over. Farming Prestige is the best strategy long term. I now get over 16k just from teaching only, that's 160k in 10 turns without factoring anything else.

There is also another one when you learn RAF, you can use the devil instead of wasting qi.

What? How?! Do you just not feed Qi to get the three words?

 

[Random Dude]

•Pre-Expo:
+40 in the opening tourney(5 Xiao Chun, 5 Tigress and 30 Ruo). +5 for beating Yun Ge. +10 if you decide to kill Mo Long and boast about it. +15 if you beat the 1v3 being a E-H.
•Expo:
+5 if you call Bohai's bluff and stand your ground against his centipede beast. +5 by winning the poetry contest against Xiwen. +5 for beating Fu Lanfen. +20 if you perform the 1v50 alone, without using neither Yuan Fang, Lanfen or the tattooed army help.
•Post-expo
+5 if you beat Hard-rock. Between 50~70 for cleaning all the Arena(Either you're strong enough to pass the required checks: 70, or not, just winning the fights: 50).
•Tourney 1st phase:
DES fight gives +50 prestige. Non DES route is 42(+5 for beating Mogui and 37 for the 1v12).
•3v3:
This is where you can farm prestige the most, +22 for winning both fights as base. You can get +26 if you decide to kill the twins(RAF +20, acting +1) and is demonic to use Asura(Spitting in Su Da's face +5), otherwise the max against the twins is 25(Killing). Non-killing is 15(RAF).

Note: Against Muchen is variable, since you can actively farm prestige by humiliating him the whole fight(And believe me when I say that farming ~50+ Prestige only against Muchen is possible, this is how I managed to push my prestige past 300 in a mortal run).

There is also +5 if you can survive bohai's slap when you call him baldie or kill Yun Ge.

Another +5 if you outperform Ruo when she attacks you after the 3v3. You need to both dodge and attack her fast enough.

The areana you can get specifically 72, everyone has a second option that gives +2 if you do their checks right. Except the girl who is possessed by her ancestor. There is also two guys who have a second +2 check, the spider guy Gao Bu and Su Bo.

In the Chu fight specifically there is 3 extra checks, +2 one where you reverse his snowfall or snow storm, another +2 where you stop his boots from working and another one +2 and a bunch of +1 where you stand still and do nothing but aura farm when he summons his army for multiple turns until he cancels his spell himself. In his fight you can simply win by just taunting him at every turn and get +1 and pass every check.

 

[Random Dude]

What? How?! Do you just not feed Qi to get the three words?

After you learn the three words, you will get a warning that you aren't ready yet, you can force it by using extra qi or use the devil instead. You probably have to have already formed your devil before, like when AI died or against DES. Because the devil (TW) will take over here, unlike the start of the game were you just lose your mind and rage.

That's gotta be new, right? I always devilmaxx, but the options I have there are either to force the enlightenment ("I alone decide when I am ready!") or to give up.

I just tried it

 

[Totenkopf]

I just tried it

This is because you didn't had the devil formed yet.
As you yourself said before you avoided the DES fight, the Ai event curiously doesn't form the devil and also doesn't count in the numbers of devil Breakout.
The reason you have 9 devil breakouts without He Gang & DES is because forming the devil, regardless of the method(DES, 1v12 and RAF are the methods so far), will give you a base +3 in the count. So 12 is the greatest count currently.

If you already have the devil formed before(1v12/DES) he won't try to help you to learn RAF.

The areana you can get specifically 72, everyone has a second option that gives +2 if you do their checks right. Except the girl who is possessed by her ancestor. There is also two guys who have a second +2 check, the spider guy Gao Bu and Su Bo.

Basically what I said, 50 is the base value if you just win all fights(+5 prestige for each), 70 if you're strong enough to pass the required checks to trigger the +2.
