Improving my sect

[kabanzai]

Is there an easier way to increase the spirit stones of my sect as Sect leader.. say.. Donating them directly? I ask because I'm going the worm path with Long Hamlet and it's annoying not to be able to build ship yet.

Unfortunately not :/

Any suggestions on it then? Something keeps eating my sect prestige (I'm thinking the elder I replaced.. [;=,=] .. but Uh.. Yeah. So I can't keep enough in the sect to pay for the transfer so I'm stuck at this place due to being unable to learn my new skills (Not enough spirit fruit)

So my suggestions are:

1: Set the sect to Defense mode in the Council Hall. Kind of keeps you under wraps and allows you to rebuild your strength.

2: Go to the Mission Hall and then to All. From here set all the resources into Recruitment till you can keep a consistent 100-150 in the department. Then move extras to Treasury. Recruitment is critical because these "backup Disciples" as they are called will die on their missions and need to be replaced. If you don't have enough people in your departments they won't increase your supplies.

3: Make friends with people and try to recruit them to the sect. Also remember to check the Mission Hall once a month to manually adjust the Department Resources and assign people to missions. You want to aim for Foundation or Heavens Chosen to have them increase their chance at succeeding missions.

Thanks. I figured the worm path was hardmode since they .. don't really have branches. This will help alot.

Also want to make sure stability stays close to max too, because that keeps Prosperity growing which is another source of spirit stones. Expanding your territory also raises that, though it will also paint a larger target on the branch from other unfriendly sects.

And FYI when you do expand, probably won't want to bring anyone who isn't Heavn's Chosen and/or already at Qi Gathering yet to the new locale, and instead go on a recruitment spree among all the Tier 3+ rogue cultivators that populate the new area instead.

is it better to keep 'moral' people with good cultivation skills that hate me.. or boot them so they aren't around to hate me in my own sect? I figured over time I could win back the elders trust who I booted to become the leader =D

One more question. I know you can 'Steal manuals' from other sects if you win against them.. but uh.. Does that let you start getting Fruit in more than just the 'fire and spear' if your doing long hamlet?

[Sayla Massochist]

Long Mountain Hamlet is always Spear and your highest skill at start (besides Spear). You can increase the amount of specialties by defeating the other sects. Upon doing so you can go to the Manual Pavilion and add that Sect's specialties to the Long Mountain Hamlet. Starting the Treasure Hall/Manual Pavilion stock refresh you will get Spirit Fruit/Manuals for the added specialties.

Does "Auto-assign" function in Mission Hall work? Even if I check it or not, it still helps me assign Disciples.

btw, the difficulty of each mission is displayed incorrectly.

How do I defeat rival sects? Do I simply show up to their HQ and attack everyone I see?

As a sect leader you can declare an annihilation war with them to their their sect. If you win and you destroy and take over their sect or loot it. Taking over their sect makes it into a branch sect and if your sect is anything like mine, a huge mess.

The new sect is completely empty so you need to fill in the slots with people from your original sect and the AI is so god awful at managing the sects your actually need to babysit them to actually grow the sects.
