Doctor
How do you play doctor? I have no clue of what's going on. I have patients with nightmares and I don't know what to do for them, I try reducing parasites but this isn't the way?

You have a book in your inventory that you get immediately upon entering medical school (if you sold it, it's available at the market bookstore sometimes) - Qihuang Pharmacopoeia: Introduction. It has exercises where you can test herb combinations per different cases and you get graded based on how effective your concoction is at treating that precise illness. For nightmares, anxiety, and depression you need herbs that calm the nerves and help calm someone down. In general, since the game doesn't have a guide yet, it's useful to use the book exercises to write down different cases and their result so you know what to use even when your character can't diagnose what the disease is.

Thank you so much, this really helped! Can you tell me about making friends? Is this dependent on who I talk to in the inn? Sometimes they just tell me their names after an introduction but I don't know how to get more of them.

It seems that the only way to make friends is to go to the party gatherings once you reach a certain age, but make sure to immediately chat with them on the social tab afterwards because otherwise they immediately remove you. Sometimes you'll get a random event to have a childhood friend early on in life and they might randomly invite you to a party event even before you are of age to attend it.

If my memory serve right, you have do exercise until the time limit, then you can become a doctor, or failed to do so. Fail to become a doctor will make your girl to be stranded in another town; separated by her family. So it hard for her to marry someone because of that.
So I have played as a doctor, It can be hard but sometimes, it can be easy. If someone had nightmare, you can go to the grocery to buy medicinal herbs, those herbs contain effects name, you can buy a medicine with Calm the nerves with double + for greater effectiveness, that's for the main ingredients, and for the other two, you can decide which, the most important is the main ingredients, or if you have calming medicine with the other two, you could also use them, also, the third one, you could also choose it to be bitter or sweet.

The problem is that the girl has to move to another town when they decided to become a doctor. If they succeed, then there is no a problem. They'll get money and can return to their hometown easily. But the problem is if they failed, and they stranded to a different city, as you have to buy a horse cart etc in order to back home. Plus, when you're separated from your father and mother, it's not possible to marry somebody. Either you invite them to the town, or you return to your hometown.

If we are speaking about playing as a girl, I suggest earning a lot of money through catching and selling crickets first, getting married early and then taking the doctor's exam. That way you can buy a property, cart and etc in the capital instead while having your family there too. At least I think you would move collectively? Been awhile since I played this.

Well, if you choose to become a doctor, you have to choose that at the age of 10. It also have been awhile since I played this game.

That's solvable. For me, I don't want to risk being a doctor with only a penny. I can catch cricket (It's not available on PC and iOS.) and sell them, and let's be hopeful we could catch a cricket that sells at gold taels. Either you continue catching cricket or you spend that money you got from crickets to farm. Farming is my source of wealth. And when you have thousands of gold, you can end your character's life and continue with your daughter as a heir, of course, before that, you have to marry, If you give birth to a daughter at first try, that's good, if not, try and try. Now, when you married, you'll open a crash drawer. Fork money inside and use that money to hire a teacher for your daughter. Wait until she's 16 or above. As long as your daughter is already far away, studying, you can end the character and continue with your daughter, make sure she's the heir. But I recommend for you to wait until you're 40+ before you end your character's life, so that it will count in the 'number of life' or something and then you'll get rewards when you reach a certain 'number of life'. If you have continue your life as your daughter, it's in you if you pass or fail. if you fail, it's a good thing (as for me, it is.) because you could go home. Of course, first you have to own a carriage. Before you continue living as your daughter, buy a carriage. Choose the fastest one or you can choose the comfortable one. If you didn't fail, wait until you're promoted as a pharmacist, but that's depend on the situation, if you get promoted every 1 or 2 years, you can wait to be a pharmacist before you resign, and if you have a hard time getting a promotion, resign before you reach 28-30 of age and go home to your hometown, request your mother or father for blind date or marriage and then apply to the hospitals or clinic in your hometown. Repeat the cycle. How to be promoted faster, is when you're 80% and above, you'll get promoted. When you don't have a rank, what you can only do is to get medicine, it will raise your proficiency level. Tap the ranking, and it will show the ranks or position and above, read the description. when you read a word that you can also raise your points by donating, then donate the herbs you don't need at the moment, donate those who have the same effect with the one you're using and 1 star. It will raise your proficiency level, but I think that'll only happen if you're a pharmacist. Anyway, hope you learn something here, even if my grammar is not very good, I hope it's still understandable. You can ask me more about farming and medicine and how to treat patient, but I still have a problem with those patient who only have days to live, until now, I still didn't discover what prescription to use, but if anyone knows, I hope you can enlighten me, I really need help with that one.
