the best shaolin median is the bottommost one, brightness yang kidney foot or something.

"Yang Brightness Stomach Foot" meridian? Best how? I lack sufficient reference to agree or disagree, but how did you come to this conclusion? I was under the impression that all schools have both internal and external skills, and that which is best would depend on which skills you mostly use. Though that particular meridian looks to give mostly defense bonuses of its first level. Or are you referring to later levels of development? What does it do?

First off, it's the shaolin meridian because when you boost your first (and maybe subsequent ones too?) internal skill (meditate for shaolin), to level 25, it increases the amount of levels that meridian can raise. THe meridian itself raises stats, a maxed meridian can give you a significant advantage, they give some pretty substantial stat boosts. You can go to the meridian screen and hover your mouse over the upper left image on the left page (it's in a little box) to find out what stats it raises. It's not always 100% true to the school, for instance the shaolin meridian doesn't exclusively raise brawn and.... the other shaolin stat I forget the name of.

If you'd like to find out what your school's meridian is, go here. It has a big list of meridians with the school's they're associated with next to them. There is one "generic" meridian that raises when you cultivate the internal you get before you pick a school.

With that said, with the scroll stealing event you can steal skill scrolls from other schools, including their internal. So if you raise that internal to 25, their meridian will become boosted. With that said it's probably best to stick to your school's meridian for now, as scroll stealing doesn't seem like a terribly easy thing to do.

As a result, only mentioning this because I forgot to do it, by the way, you should activate the meridians you are cultivating. So if you're a shaolin activate the shaolin meridian, if you're a wanderer's valley, activate that one, etc. Level 1 meridians provide very minor boosts.

EDIT: As a note, you have to be online to be accepted into the guild. I should have accepting privledges so let me know when you're online and I'll getcha in. IGN is seriyu if you'd rather just PM me when you're on.

It's been three days since I applied and three days since Detonate last posted in this thread. And in all that time the guild still has exactly the same number, only four, people in it. Is Detonate even still playing? Because I've been playing this kind of a lot the past few days, and majikero is the only bay12er I've seen in-game and he hasn't been able to get into the guild either.

Kind of think if this is going to happen we might need to lock this thread and start a new one that doesn't have 3-4 pages of pre-release discussion and people saying they're not sure they want to play. I've been doing instances and things, and I don't get the impression there's any point being in a tiny guild with half the players inactive. If this is going to happen we need to get more people on board. I've been playing literally 5 hours a day and I've yet to even see anyone from the guild online. That's not going to work.

I agree. Now that the game is actually released, it's about time for a new thread. The OP in this thread is absolutely awful and I'm typing up a new one for the other thread that won't leave people absolutely confused. I'm going to lock this thread once I finish typing the new OP up.

[Seriyu]

Yeah, detonate's been on every day. The issue is we can't invite you if you're not on at the same time we are, and we tend to be on later in the day. If we could invite Majikero (are you interested in the guild, by the way?), they seem to be on the same time you are, we could give them invite privledges and they could get you in. It's another case of the UI being fairly derpy.

EDIT: Oh, we gotcha. Okay, good!

EDIT2: as a side note, a full ten man team practice really moves a rediculous amount of cultivation into skill exp so I'd definitely reccomend getting into a group if you see one! It's easy, just take your turn slow and you'll be fine. Typically people do one 25 round and one 10 round as that fills up fatigue to max exactly. It also moves 100k cultivation into the current skill exp. Although if you run out of fatigue or cultivation don't leave mid practice unless you want a lot of angry people.

I've done a few, but I'm having a difficult time building up to 90k cultivation per day. For example, I only have 11k now, and 334/999 xp. Seems like the biggest source of cultivation is getting lucky with offline time and doing something that gives a bunch.

Anyone know how to get different levels of xp? I routinely have level 3 and 5 xp, but I'm not sure how to get levels 1, 2 and 4. The mouseover texts are clearly incorrect.

[majikero]

To be honest, It's pretty much pay to win. Pay cash for more cultivation. Life skills seems to not be affected but in PvP, people who pays more money wins. Hell, you can outright buy cultivation from the potential pool.

So, just did my first scroll-stealing event. And tried to do a world boss. GM announced it in worldchat, but it was in Sozhou, and I couldnt' get there in time. The boss apparently only lsated a couple minutes.

As for scroll-stealing, we had about 20 people in the raid, warped in and I basically followed the herd since I had no ide where our target was. That worked for a while, except that everyone was able to run faster than me so I ended up trailing the pack. So I went down pretty quickly. Respawned with one other and again just followed her. Eventually saw the scrolls we were supposed to be stealing. Apprently they just spawn in random places on teh ground. Or at least tht's what it looked like. It was the only one I saw, and ws cut down again while trying to pick up it.

After the next respawn I saw somebody carrying scrolls, so tried to kill him to take his. He was already heavily injured nd he tried to run. Every now and then I'd get a slash at him and whittled him down. Then he turned aroudn and two-shotted me, since apparently he wsa super high level and he never bothered to check what I was.


That continued back and forth a couple times, mostly being masively outgunned by everyone. Though I did discover that it's really easy to run away from people and jump over walls and things to lose them.

Anyway, it was a fun event, but I'd suggest speed and jump boosts to anyone who wants to try. And that jump-up=then-jump-forward-rather-than-up skill that I see people using. That would have helped a lot. Being stronger would have been nice too, but my impression is that just running in and out in a hurry might be enough.

The skill you're describing I believe would be Goose Step. It's one of the most useful skills for PVP since it allows you to have great mobility. Mobility really is important in combat. Of course it also helps with escapes and catching up to fleeing people. Overall, it's a very desirable skill.

For reference:

Contains screenshots of the locations that spy missions occur. Because the spy masters seem to like putting you in the middle of absolutely nowhere, 2-3 minutes ride in a random direction away from your target. Occasionally, closer to totally other entire cities than the one you want.

[LordBucket]

There's pretty much a war going on in Jiming posthouse if anyone's interested. Apparently a guild decided to declare the town a no-horse zone and are attacking anyone who mounts.

...related, it kind of looks like you can kill anyone you want without repercussions so long as you only hit them until they fall unconscious and then allow then to bleed to death rather than striking the killing blow yourself.

Also, being drunk is interesting.

Also, the cooking problem I described the other day is apparently a bug.

Also, can anyone explain how Jianghu rankings work? The top-100 lists lots of people with legendary skills as having zero ranking "points." What are those points and how are they acquired? They're obviously not actual skill points, since these are legendary people with zero. I notice that when performing skills there are gains reported for skill value, as well as a "rank" gain that's typically 3-4 points per skill use. What is that and how does it relate?

Also, is there any numeric advantage to hoarding skillgain scrolls from daily life quests? For example, diminishing returns from training cheap/easy things? So far I haven't noticed any reduction in the gain I get from doing starter things now vs how much they gave me at lower skill levels.

[Leyic]

I've applied to DrunkenBeard as KohakuHaruka.

I have a quest "[Guide] Fostering Relationships" telling me to right-click on someone to give him a gift, but this isn't working. Is there something else I need to do?

[Seriyu]

Gotcha in Leyic, as you know. And for future applicants, if you're still undecided on school we have a ton of emei, and a couple of shaolin. Anything besides them is great. We won't like, refuse you if you absolutely must be an emei or shaolin but it'd be nice to get some variety, as the schools all operate pretty differently from each other.

[majikero]

What? I though people would flock to Wanderer's Valley and go on a kidnapping spree. Well whatever.

How do I get rid of gossip? I got the cave location and went there but the gossip is still listed.

[Seriyu]

I am unsure. It may just stay there, I've never completed a gossip quest. 

As a side note, if you apply let me know, I can getcha in, and also stay online until I do getcha in. Wushu is derpy and requires both parties to be on when they get invited.

[LordBucket]

You could make me an officer. Since I seem to be online more than anyone else.
