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

Forgot how did I triggered that option but, during the start of 3v3, there was a choice to awaken your devil or sum. What are the requirements to trigger it again?
Should trigger if you don't end the fight too soon. I recall I had the option on my evil run and I didn't do anything special.

That is assuming you had breakout during the tourney free for all, I don't think that happens otherwise
 
Imagine if there was reactivity for people who don't use spells.

"I'm saving them for later! You're literally not worth it!"
And it's really best to we start getting used to save Qi, cause based on the Discord it's very likely that Nicky will removes the "Treasure Refining feature" at some point by turning all artefacts one-time buyable.
I don't know if we'll have more opportunities to buy artefacts or if Nicky will add more in the pavillion. Something interesting in my view would be tying these Artefacts(Pavillion) to our Prestige, basically, to gain access to more powerful and expensive artefacts(And therefore more Qi that's what matter).

But if he just turn all them one-time buyable without reworking this system will be a bit disappointing. Like, what the **** I'm supposed to do with nearly 2.500.000 gold so far(1.000.000 Bohai, 750.000 Zhong Zhi and the ludicrously high amount of money we can gather by ourselves)? 😭

It's unlikely Nicky makes everything only purchasable once without a redesign. I've got no clue how he intends to make up for all the Qi we'd lose out on though. (Not that he has no options, for example Wu Heir is still not allowed to hunt beasts for Qi. He could also just give us more wet dreams where we magically get stats/Qi I guess.)

Either way, I'm not against him doing that in a proper manner since it fits the wasteland theme...

...also it would make the Haggler talent turn from mandatory to optional which is good. I can't make do without regen so I only get to pick one more :/

I do like this idea, though I wouldn't gatekeep our current dollar store artifacts. This wouldn't be a bad way to obtain stuff that's more fitting for a great clan's heir to have. (Pls, my world for a ring of +2 STR) Seriously, Wu clan seems like a bunch of hobos. I half believe they specialize in fist techniques because these bums have no special weapons to speak of.
Actually I'll even try a mortal run without this to see how well I can perform.
My condolences. Do let us know the results though, bonus points if you never use the bracelet.

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
 
ALSO CORRECT ME IF I MISSED ANYTHING ELSE
I believe you forgot about the first disciple you can hunt and make a bet with, which gives you his spacial ring costing 10k. (For some reason you NEED a significant amount of money on your person to do this, otherwise Wu Heir doesn't get the option to take more than 1k gold. Can someone tell Nicky we should be allowed to do this regardless?)

Speaking of hunting, I kind of miss having only personality stats so I could kill without remorse. Now I actually need to watch what I do in public...

Also you could make more reasonable calculations, like who tf is out there making a deal with Raven? Lmao.

Did it better, I refined the bracelet into Qi(Gloves too), can't let this gorgeous 182 Qi pass, can I?
1000021263.png1000021264.png
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...
1000021267.png1000021269.png
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.

Since, I assume, it'd be a bit hard to simply believe in the veracity, this humble will explain each one of his main Qi sources.

Qi Stones:
+100 Unrefined Qi from Ma Rin's. +50 Unrefined Qi by winning 10,000 Gold over the Rock Gamble game(He gave you a Qi Stone if you accept to leave politely). +50 From Caihong.

"Natural Qi:"
We gain a fix value of Qi(15) in each turn post-Coma. There are 51 turns Post-Coma so far(36 Until first tourney Phase. 12 between first tourney Phase and the 3v3. 3 turns post 3v3) leading, therefore, to 765 Qi gained naturally.

Artefacts:
As I said, I refined each Artefact one time(Since it's supposed to be one-time buyable, except from Dao Amulet and Silken Robe that compose my gear), leading to +313 Unrefined Qi through the artefacts we can buy in the pavillion & +92 by Chao's Robe, +182 By Power Bracelet and +88 By Blood Gloves: Therefore, +675 Unrefined Qi through Artefacts.

Qi gained through massacre(My favourite):
In this category I'll ignore lesser ones, like Ma Rin's mission or when learning the Partial Asura.
+40 Unrefined Qi in the Tang Huo(Blue Fire King) mission if you slaughter both Tang's.
+40 from Ruo's Rogue mission(Killing one of the Rogue's PH).
+61 from Changpu's Deal.
+254 from Chao's Mission(Massacring everyone and also Pengfei)
+614 Unrefined Qi from the first phase of the Tourney(Non-DES, massacring route)/+300 Unrefined Qi(DES Fight).

Extremely Huge founts of Qi:
Absorbing the Heavenly-Ice-Wisp giving 1.000 Unrefined Qi.
Refining Mom's Artefact giving 1.500 Unrefined Qi.

RINGS:
Non-ironically I refined ****ing 190 rings in this run, 40 pre-1st Tourney phase, 80 using Bohai's money and 70 in the end using Mom's money.
Each ring gives 12 Qi, leading to 2.280 Unrefined Qi in the end(For comparison, that would be 15,200 Unrefined Qi if using the Ironcloud Robe).

In the end, 7.429 Unrefined Qi I had to operate my attributes and cultivation in this run. If I restrained myself from using even the rings it'd be 5.149
(Of course these values aren't regarding lesser sources of Unrefined Qi that appear often throughout the book)

PS: There's also +49 from Longwei I forgot to add.
PS²: Also +300 by scamming Qi Stones from Yue Fang.
