One key thing that was not mentioned, was that you can transcribe all the beginning Supreme Laws to the Pavilion as well. Thus your disciple learning True Sun can also learn almost everything from Six Paths or Sunflower, etc. Also, transcribe gives inspiration depending on the amount of new skills added to the pavilion, thus transcribing those early supreme laws will give a huge amount of inspiration. However learning transcribed Supreme Law skills will only net you the first rank of that skill (if multi-ranked). Thus the most differentiating aspect of picking the early Taiyi laws are due to Stat affinity, Elemental affinity, and the multi ranked skills you want to access. And the ascension statues that you gained from ascending characters using different laws (they provide different bonuses). Personally i suggest Sunflower law due to the adventure speed bonus from Spiritravel skill, but remember that males will become eunuchs after learning that. I forget if you can use Reconstruction miracle to regrew that portion back. At the beginning try to learn all the max qi skills from other Laws. Having a greater max qi pool will result in higher ranked golden core. Which mostly means greater max qi for your character when you breakthrough into golden core stage. Learning skills increases attainment points, which increases the inspiration xp cost of future skills. Try to learn skills from connective element first (since those costs gets decreased) then opposing elements which has higher attainment cost. Mental state also affects cultivation speed (Practice)

[@Ic0nGaming]

Ah thank you so much for this summary! Very helpful information here!

[@sandk7969]

I got a core shapping disciple to 25million max QI now he causes the game to crash. My Golden Core sect leader is only 1million max qi

[@kevin0117rc]

@Shwazara What spark thing are you talking about?

[@kevin0117rc]

@Shwazara Oh you are talking about the breakthroughs. So basically when your character practice s/he gain cultivation points which fills up till it hits the breakthrough lines. Then until you perform the breakthrough, your character wont be able to progress any further (cultivation wise). And in order to perform the breakthrough, there are conditions that needs to be fulfilled. Most of the time, it is just a qi requirement, but breakthroughs on some laws will require other items, etc. In your case, it is saying that you need at least 2000 qi to perform the breakthrough. Thus you will need to increase the character's max qi, so that the current qi is at least 2000. You can do this via learning skills that increase max qi, qi sense, or increasing INT and CON (i think) till 10. This is because QI Sense is affected by basic stats, and the ability rating (max 110) adds to your character's max qi. You can also eat items that increase max qi as well. Some early ones would be things like Red Ginseng or Ganoderma

[@ManoredRed]

I'd recommend getting the "Elysium" mod, it provides automatic management of your disciples according to your settings so that their mental state doesn't get too far out of whack. Otherwise, you have to keep manually switching between mind focus and cultivation focus. "Balance" doesn't seem to be effective at actually keeping your disciplines mentally stable. It seems to just divide their time across all 3 activates instead of doing enough mind to keep them sane, so unless you're really good at restoring mind, they will get out of whack over time.

[@lesya1407]

Thank you so much for your guides! I recently got this game since I'm really into Chinese mythology, but the game is so complex and confusing! With the help of your guides I'm finally getting a hold of the game.

[@Ic0nGaming]

You are most welcome. This ain't Amazing Confusion Simulator for no reason! Jokes aside, once you get behind a few of the mechanics it grows easier to understand the rest. Most of the time. Some things are just so obscure that you need to look them up :D

[@lesya1407]

@@Ic0nGaming haha "Amazing Confusion Simulator" is a spot on name! Yeah, it's so frustrating spending hours without making any progress. Everything is so overwhelming, and the game doesn't even tell you if you're doing things right or not until it's too late lol So thank you so much for explaining things so thoroughly and with simple language. I really appreciate it!

[@ronnymueller1918]

Well made guide, I learned quite a bit, thanks a lot! Edit: now we need more gameplay videos :)

[@Ic0nGaming]

Working on it! Thanks for the positive feedback =)

[@TheHasazin]

You might need to add basic or standard path cultivation to the guide title of this video as there are more types of cultivate such as religious and body cultivation. Which have completely different systems like the fact that body cultivators do not use artifacts or talismans.

[@Ic0nGaming]

Done, great idea!

[@BusinessAnalyzer]

11:00 for the room setup for the outer disciple. I'm just starting the game and looking for hints on how to increase Qi density. I elevated my main character to inner disciple, but did not notice the stat misalignment. I also cannot get an artifact crafted, keep failing :)

[@Ic0nGaming]

Qi density is determined by the amount of Chi stored in the objects around the training spot. The tooltips give you info about how much Qi is stored somewhere. Spiritwood on pedestals works great for this, but I am sure there are more ways.

[@ksb7938]

Thanks a ton for these videos I'm going to like as many of them as I can because they're super helpful. I watched one of your steams too and you seem like a really cool guy. Keep up the good work brotha 🤙

[@ManoredRed]

A trick I have heard for helping deal with fire/ice decorations is putting only a small amount of fire/ice items directly around your character, as well as making their cushion out of that element, and then having the rest of the chi-gathering items be from other elements. The chi-gathering and elemental influence of an item are disconnected basically. It doesn't matter if your Earth dude is getting most of his chi out of spirit wood, as long as the spot of the cushion he is on has the fire element as dominant. And elemental influence decays very intensely with range. And the substantially smaller number of fire/ice things will result in substantially smaller temperature extremes.

[@AGrumpyPanda]

In case you're still playing, or someone just getting into the game finds this video, another fairly easy way to manage the temperature is to put a fire element and water element setup in the same large room. ACS calculates temperature changes for the whole room, not emission from objects, so if you have your pheonix feathers and dragon scales in the same large they'll balance out the temperature.

[@Metayoii]

12:45 Metal also decreases temperature slightly. Wood increases the temperature slightly, Earth is neutral.

[@Ic0nGaming]

Things I didn't know - thanks!

[@MrDavidCollins]

I have a feeling this game is going to quickly become popular. There's just something about it

[@Ic0nGaming]

It is basically already very popular - just not in our hemisphere ^^ Shortly after release I checked the mod workshop - 20k+ entries (most of em Chinese sadly). So this game already has a big fanbase, ready to take over the world. And I am a helper - this game is fun! :D

[@Jaime_Protein_Cannister]

It's insane I'm 70 hours in and this what you see here is just the tip of the iceberg. There are 3 different Major schools of practitioning. And many smaller schools. It's even interesting how sometimes you receive pawns with laws that are half-written as in they can only ascend to Say golden core stage , but no further. I'm perticularly in love with Physical School , which benefits from all elements, but it's so much more micro intensive to get it right , you're basically forced to abandon your other disciples while you're training the the Physical god. My Demigod Singlehandedly almost sent my entire sect into hell by eating trough 2 Tons of wheat and a ton of meat. Thank god the Ancestor figure has Grandmaster alchemy and could keep up with 15 people fasting pill production... Had 100 in store, but that duche would eat 5 pills himself a day and before I realized the food was gone, the backup pills were also half eaten.

[@Ic0nGaming]

Thanks for sharing!

[@tearlesstrel]

How do you increase the max qi of an inner disciple in the earlier game (before elixirs and pills are easily accessible)? Is it mainly just by getting to higher states of enlightenment?

[@Ic0nGaming]

Learning skills from Laws is the main source of Max Qi increasers if you exclude medicine. Higher states of cultivation yield higher base stats too, but your main goal should be to maximize the Max Qi pool before going for the Golden Core breakthrough.

[@John-xp2mh]

when i crate a water room for cultivatin my cultivators just get frostbite, what should i do to solve it?

[@Ic0nGaming]

You can create Talismans which increase the cold resistance, stronger clothing helps too. Besides that you can also build displays (far enough away from the meditation spot of the person but still in the same room) and place Igneocopper Bars/Ore on them or other Fire Elemental treasures. The Igneocopper raises the temperature - you just gotta be careful that the Fire elemental energy is far away enough from your cultivator to not mess with him/her

[@KrisOdonoghue]

Great guide. I didn't actually realize the thing about the attainment! It's worth noting that desciples will typically default to their bed if there is no cushion for them, and the the thing they cultivate on is most beneficial if it matches their main element, surrounded by the complimenting elements. e.g. fire element cushion surrounded by wood However all cushions will be wood until your sect progresses so that isn't an option in the earlier stages.

[@diairairship2403]

So what would be better in the early game if you're a True Sun disciple? Fire element bed surrounded by wood, or wood element cushion surrounded by wood?

[@KrisOdonoghue]

@@diairairship2403 Fire element bed ONLY if you have high heat resistance and can actually sleep on your bed (talismans help but it might not be enough), though it's safest to go for the cushion all-around, as a rule of thumb

[@xato13]

Certain items counts as neutral no matter what they are made of, pedestal and cushion are some of the examples and it is shown by a small white circle in the build menu

[@KrisOdonoghue]

@@xato13 ah yes, I forgot about that. Doi. But you still can alter the element of the cushions that are unlocked next, right?

[@Ravenleaf182]

I have a question, I have multiple laws, but once someone is already dedicated to a law, can you change them to something new? It feels like my poor sect master is kinda shoe'd into this law from the beginning and doesn't get to change to a new law path. I know they can "learn other laws" through manuals and skills, but...I want to change the whole path itself

[@Ic0nGaming]

If you want to learn a new "main law" you need to reincarnate the Cultivator. There are a few pills in game (Rebirth Pill for example) which reset the person to their normal mortal being. This doesn't give you anything except for a reset of that character. They don't keep anythin except their Inspiration XP (and even that only with the right pill). But with this method you can "reset" your Sect Master.

[@Ravenleaf182]

@@Ic0nGaming That's unfortunate, but thank you. I found some interesting laws that they are highly compatible with, but I couldn't switch off my sixteen steps (which apparently was a terrible choice). I suppose starting over isn't so bad, but I'll have to figure out about attaining a rebirth pill

[@unrave6039]

How does the inner cauldron work for inner disciples

[@Robin-dx5gq]

I'm a little confused as to how increasing the qi capacity with regards to stamina and equilibrium works.

[@Ic0nGaming]

Qi capacity increases happen by performing new breakthroughs and learning new skills. I am pretty sure there are other methods I am not aware of though.

[@kevin0117rc]

If you are referring to the Inner Cauldron of qi forming and core shaping disciple, i wouldn't bother with that until mid if not late game. Basically during training disciples will automatically convert stamina into either base qi or max qi (i forget). The rate is very slow, and can be improved via stamina conversion pills: Stamina Pill, Ginseng Pill, Resin Essence Powder, etc. Or stamina conversion skills like Visceral Blaze in True Sun. Oh and I think the pace is also tied to cultivation speed or something. As each cultivation tick will increase this slightly. But i might be mistaken on that. The initial state is empty and i believe there are 4 stages. As you progress to each stage, the max stamina conversion per day gets limited more and more (aka snails pace, i heard it took upwards of 70+ days to fill like 3k or 4k size). Do keep in mind that you might need to keep up the stamina via consuming other items like ginseng or Resin Essence otherwise that disciple can't cultivate or train at all without stamina. The size of the inner cauldron determines how much more base/max qi they can gain from this process. If i am not mistaken, the inner cauldron size is determine by potential of the character. And also that potential decreases slightly with age, the older the character is the lower the potential will become before transforming from outer to inner; it will be fixed after becoming an inner disciple.

[@Harizak]

I watched this before even playing and now that I have been for a weekend I have a pretty strong inner decuple. Though not as strong as I would like because I cannot figure out. Can I train them to increase their skills in Alchemy or other such skills unlocked when they become inner disciples or must I simply just buy those levels. I am trying to not get a lot of attunement and increase the cost of my future purchases. I do want my fire spells to just one shot things though. I just would regret buying the levels in spell power if my disciple could have just avoided gaining the attunement cost by training into it.

[@Ic0nGaming]

Hey! Yes, you can train your people before you turn then into Inner's but mostly it's not as powerful (or takes forever). I don't know if Alchemy is linked to cooking or medicine but basically there's always some mundane skill linked to the Disciple skill. Gaining Attainment like crazy is normal and you won't really be able to change it until later in the game, There are medicines, Talismans and items to equip which lower your attainment level. But basically attainment acts as a softcap for your development, forcing you sooner or later into reincarnating the cultivator.

[@Harizak]

@@Ic0nGaming Thanks. I think I will just dump all my points into spells then. Its what I want to do. But even when I fight demon bunnies and stuff it barely tickles them even though she has great stats for being a fire cultivator, I recall your review on this where you said there is just so much to learn but if you can its worth it. Feel like that now. I saw the foundation skill before and now i just got a book that taught me some. But it in quite fun to figure it all out. Just some of this I always worry that I will ruin one of my few strong guys and lose my run.

[@UllricLex]

Nice video. What element should the artifact have for the inner ones?

[@Ic0nGaming]

The Element should always "feed" off the Cultivators Element. So if your Cultivator is Wood, he should use a Fire Artifact (The Wood Element of the Cultivator feeds the Artifact). Think of it like the Cultivator is pumping his energy into the Artifact, so you should use a material which likes this element - I hope this helps!

[@UllricLex]

@@Ic0nGaming Thank you 🙂

[@Bronze_Age_Sea_Person]

[@Ic0nGaming]

Other Laws can be found as books via several events. You will need to take adventures to find new Laws - try out secrets and other hints, sometimes you find some of them there. I know of no other ways, but I am pretty sure there are other ways. Maybe somebody will join this question!

You come from the Tayie (sp???) sect which was destroyed. They had many laws and useful items. See if you can investigate what happened to your legacy.

[@Metayoii]

@@antonhong1590 You can increase it with items and talismans. There may also be a pill for that, I'm not sure. But don't expect any big changes.

[@eminentstir]

Did anyone find a way to raise stats like Charisma or Perception? I end up with people having only a 50 % match for any of the starter laws quite often...

[@RexZShadow]

I think those people are just meant to stay as outer disciple workers.

[@Ic0nGaming]

Well, I was wondering if there is any stat except for POT which can be increased - cause it seemed to me like those stats were pretty static.

[@kevin0117rc]

Your basic Taiyi Law except Grand Chariot each has a miracle (unlocked at Primordial) which can improve 4 of the basic stats. It can only be casted once each on the same target, and has a greater effect the lower the base value. The optimal strategy is to use soul infection on the target, then cast those miralces. Next you can feed them various mid-late game pills that improves the 5 stats (i forget if Luck or Potential was the one that was left out) like Bane Pill or Eternity Pill. Physical Cultivator doesn't have any stat requirements, Shendao looks the same but you will actually need more than 8 Int for the later Mood breakthrough. You will want to recruit someone around 6-7 Int since the earlier Mood training takes longer the higher the Int; then boost the Int stat pass 8 later on. Or of course, keep them as outer.

[@Metayoii]

@@Ic0nGaming All I got was a manual that increased perception by +0.2%, so just think of them as static.

[@JK-pp2xl]

Yes, certain pills, manuals, and miracles raises stats. Someone with 50% match isn't worth promoting to a cultivator.

[@MgBP100]

You need to increase their Qi to aroun 7k - 8k to get a high tier core. You can do that by writing the laws you obtain from the sect ruins and then studying all the increse Qi skills. Also red gynseng and other herbs help.

[@JK-pp2xl]

You have to increase Qi as high as possible. Then increase the stats that matter for that law, as high as possible. Then you need to make sure you're getting all max bonuses across the board(weather, season, ying/yang, etc). You can't just go Golden Core whenever you want. The Heavens need to align for that law.
