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

[Totenkopf]

...huh? You lost me completely there bro.

You're not getting anywhere near that range without developing carpal tunnel syndrome refining those Ironcloud Barrier robes. Unless there's some other exploit I have missed.

Especially on Mortal where you have to ration Qi like a starving child on Darfur.

Read this post of mine.

Did it better, I refined the bracelet into Qi(Gloves too), can't let this gorgeous 182 Qi pass, can I?

Pre-3v3 above. Basically I did what I said before(It was a optimal run):
Starting with base 50 in everything I leveled the three following stats to 55, and then received +5 in STR, AGI and CON by auction pills. +5 In all stats above & VIT from the Battle God Pill. Remember that my VIT, PER and CHA remained 50(My VIT is only virtually 55, still being a innate 50), so I increased two cap in each to use the Changpu Pill increasing by 2.
Therefore my base stats before the dream were; Innate — STR, AGI and CON 60 & VIT, PER and CHA 52. Virtual — STR, AGI and CON 65. CHA and VIT 57. PER 52.
I was saving a lot of Qi for this time; Refined all treasure 1 time(Except by Silken Robe & Dao-Amulet), Chao Mission, Changpu Deal and RINGS. So I could up my PER, mainly, to 60, and my VIT and CHA to 55. Remembering all these values are Innate.
Then comes the +5 from the dream and the 1.1 Multiplier from Mei's Hidden Dragon Pill.
Innate Value: STR 71. AGI 71. CON 71. VIT 66. PER 71. CHA 60.
Virtual Values: STR 76. AGI 76. CON 76. VIT 71. PER 71. CHA 65.
Then comes Ruo'er Ox Marrow Pill with +2 to each stat except CHA, therefore, just add these 2 in each attribute mentioned above, both, Innate and Virtual.

Then I used the Bodily Dao option when preparing to the 3v3(Only 1 time because the book isn't intended to allow this two times), increasing 10 caps, and since the four combat stats can be easily maxed through pills, my only problem were PER and CHA. PER that I increased to 80 through the 16.000 EXP we gain by winning the 3v1 and converting some Unrefined Qi(We gain 1.000 by absorbing the Heavenly-Ice-Wisp).
So, in the end, my stats were(Innate/Virtual): STR 83/88. AGI 83/88. CON 83/88. VIT 78/83. PER 80/80(Non-reached Cap of 83). CHA 60/65(Non-reached Cap of 70 Innate).

But...

This is the post fight and all subsequent events, therefore, Heavenly-Wisp & Zhi Artefact and Money.
But why my stats are so ludicrously high? So, for some blessed reason the effect of the Dao-Forms used against Muchen don't vane after the fight. The Bodily avatar stat bonus is Spell Power/10, my spell power at that point is:
50(Qi Power) + 55(Dao level) + 15(Void-Dao Form that increase the Qi Power by 30%) → 120 X Dao Perfection(1.2 Multiplier) leading to a 144 Spell Power and, therefore, the Bodily avatar is permanently increasing my Virtual stats by 14 points each.

Also, read the subsequent post where I explain my Qi sources.
Basically, I indeed refrained myself from abusing the Treasure Refining Feature, but I still was Refining Rings(Which, I believe, aren't supposed to be one-time buyable). Although the rings were "only" 2.280 Qi out of a total 7.778, so 5.498 Qi achieved through non "artificial" sources if I had restrained myself completely.
(I even made a comparison where if I had indeed used the treasure refining feature to Ironcloud robes it'd be 15.200 instead of 2.280).

And even so the 80~90 stats were the ones we can use pills to up, of course my PER, for example, was lower(73 pre 1v3 and 80 post).
So 80~90 base stats + 12 from the Bodily Dao form(Would be higher currently with the Dao-EXP buff) + 9(Would be 18 currently) from partial Asura + 12 Qi Infusion & Others...

Refining Rings

Don't they give ridiculously little Qi for a massive cost per? As I recall it was something pitiful like 10-15 qi per ring

I don't see how that's feasible money-wise on a normal run.

2k is somewhere around 500 strands. Basically the last stage of Qi Cultivation. Its a good few points off your 83 stat range too, leaving you around the 70s overall which matches what other people achieved

On a side note, you have to pass on so much and take such specific steps to do these "optimized" runs. It's not my idea of a good time, but props for the effort

Funny enough the 80+ stats(Combat stats) were the more easy to achieve. Really the greatest part of the Qi was going to PER as I explained.
Basically, I'll explain STR, AGI and CON. Starting with 50 innate I wait until the auction then I up these three stats to Innate 55(75 Qi for each through the body refining, so 225 total. Increasing the Stat per-se I did through pills). So comes the +5 to each with the auction pills, 60 Innate. +5 through the Dream, 65 Innate. Mei's Hidden Dragon Pill, 65 x 1,1 = 71 Innate(Round). Ruo's Marrow Ox Pill: 73 Innate.
And in the end the +10 caps through the Bodily Dao option pre 1v3, it goes to 83 Innate, 88 actual through Battle God Pill.

Now PER was diabolical indeed.

 

[any name u wish]

Its kinda Worthless if it in Story Mode or Heavenly Mode, like sure good stats, but that's it

This comment kind of stunned me because like, what were you expecting exactly? Quadruple dao?
