Mind Skills...

[YonnnesT]

Where, other than bosses, auctions, and treasured pavilions, can we obtain legendary/mythic mind skills?

Are attack, defense, and vitality mind skills the only mind skills that can drop from bosses?

I have yet to have seen mythic focus and energy mind skills in this game. Do they even exist?

Once i got orange mind skill from master and on other character from partner in random event after month was passing.
It was so random because it happened only once in 30+ years of gameplay.

Think you can get some manuals if you rob graves from geomancy but you are lossing life span on character.

Other case i noticed is that if you do sect missions for killing qi depraved cultivators, they sometimes drop manuals but so far only up to purple ones they dropped.

Think that some NPC thanked me with manual when i have done town quest for finding out monster lair with geomancy but cant remember properly.

Still new to the game so maybe others knows better.

Aside from the completely random stuff like what Krido wrote, which I don't think ever gets red, you have the following sources:

World bosses drop attack, defense and vitality as far as I've found.
Sects have a set of red crit, phys, elem resist skills. Since they're elementally focussed, they tend to be meh.

Auctions seem to be the only way to get the remaining two books in red quality.

As Z wrote those are the only sources for Red Mind Skills for their types.

Health - World Boss
Attack - World Boss
Defense - World Boss
Critical - Sect
Martial Resistance - Sect
Spiritual Resistance - Sect
All others - Luck of the draw at auctions (you can steal them from those that buy them if you can't afford them)

Personally, I would only focus on Health/Attack/Defense. Maybe Perception for the few times it's required to progress/steal.
