English Newbie Guide - Part 2

[Darth Shugar]

After your 3 days’ time limit quest in the Temple, and getting treasure map from the mysterious guy, most probably you just have enough money to travel to one city. It’s ok, just leave the village map first, because you’ll be wasting time if you keep on dawdling there and trying to hunt boars for money.

Let’s talk about the Village, and scenario that I encountered afterwards:
1. If you carry g500 or more, will trigger the Little HongQi beggar scenario as you walk in or walk out of the village. After he snatched your money, you need to quickly look for him to trigger the correct scenario. If you let it be for a long time, another scenario will occur when you meet him, which you will not be able to get his staff martial art skill. You can up his favorability to 100, but first need to up SiLiang to 100, so when a scenario triggered where he wants to eat good food from SiLiang, you don’t need to buy from SiLiang. I did not bring this character along, so I do not know what scenario will trigger in other places. Maybe non.
2. SiLiang assassination attempt scenario will trigger when you up her favorability to 100. And this scenario is essential that will lead to another quest when you go to ChuXiang city with her. The assassination scenario requires you to look for at 12am – 2am in the Tavern, where enemies will pop up and try to kill her. No worries, they are softies. And regarding her dowry quest, you can ignore it for the time being. Can complete it when you have the money. You will only receive a Purple Grade accessory equipment. Benefit stats are not that useful anyway.
3. Hunter guy. After getting all the information about the Yang hero character, he did not trigger any scenario while in ChuXiang nor in the Village map. So I left him and did not bring him to anywhere else. Not sure he will trigger anything else.
4. The Village Chief is very important, he will trigger the 12-zodiac quest. This quest might be the final event, never know, because it’s kind of difficult to collect all 12 zodiac rings. Before you return to the village, you need to have more than 10 paintings gift items and you also can buy some from the seller that carries two buckets in the village, to up his favorability to 100, and he will trigger this quest. You will need to go to the underground storage in his room to open the chest that required a Yellow Grade key that he gave you. You will receive one of the 12 zodiac rings. Additionally, as you return to the village after some time, the chief will also give you a quest to save Little Bao from bandits. After you complete it, remember to return to the bandit hideout, and destroy the wooden bench box that the leader was sitting previously. There is a Yellow Grade key. Talk to the chief again after all these scenarios, and he will direct you to a Pavilion. A new area will be unlocked on the Village map. Go there to trigger the 12-zodiac cave scenario by talking to the Saint in the Pavilion. Visit the cave.

Let’s talk about ChuXiang city, and scenarios that I encountered:
1. Hero Statue: as stated in my Part 1 Guide, the Hero Statue can give you a Purple Grade sword and up your Luck stats to 10.
2. Bring SILiang together to this city and talk to the Inn worker (after his favorability reached 100), if I’m not mistaken, it will lead to telling you the underground fighting arena access. He will inform you of the password, and you need to go to the house, where there is a guy standing next to a big flower/fish pot. Once you’re inside, talk to the guard and trigger SiLiang assassination scenario, fight in the arena and win the championship, will lead this quest to DaLiang city gamble shop. If you want to complete this quest now, then travel to DaLiang gamble shop to meet the owner, and she will inform you who is the person that hired assassins to kill SiLiang. Spoiler Alert: It will lead to LinAn city, the librarian inside the King’s manor. After a fight breaks out, SiLiang will give you options. Choose to pass the case to the King to settle, will gain favorability of the King. Choose to let SiLiang handle the case, she will gain an Ultimate martial art, but the King favorability will reduce.
Edit: The Inn worker and the flower pot is in LinAn city. Not in ChuXiang. My bad.
3. After some time in ChuXiang or after you get the Purple Grade sword and Luck +10 from the Hero Statue, you can proceed to the martial association. As you enter the ground, you will trigger a fight scenario. Choose represent self to fight in the championship, and you will get a Purple Grade internal martial art for hidden weapon.
4. If you think you’re strong enough, then go to the Inn to trigger ChuXiang martial championship scenario by talking to the NPC that sits next to the door. Proceed to the martial association for registration, win the test, then proceed to the courthouse and talk to the Judge for the championship. Once you win, you will have a few options from the Judge. Each option has its own rewards. Choose the last one, that will give you a Yellow Grade key. Once you out of the courthouse, you will trigger Ye family daughter scenario. (Each city will trigger her scenario, and after completing hers in all three cities, you will be able to recruit her, back in Ye family camp in ChuXiang world map. This is essential because you will get an Ultimate martial art from her father. Oooooh~ If you missed the Stone Pillar ultimate martial art, you better get this one.
5. Since you won the previous championship by representing yourself at the martial association or your ChuXiang reputation reached a certain level, once you reach the courthouse, you will trigger an inspection scenario at the Granary camp. This is also an opportunity for you to access the Granary camp to look for the Yang family character. But first you must complete the quest that was given by you by a corrupted official that you encountered at the City Quest Board area. Which is to get 10 wolves’ teeth at the Wolves Valley. While you’re in the Wolves Valley, go deep and you will see a spear struck on the ground. Get that spear. Its Yang family ancestor’s spear, which you need to let Yang family hero character to see, in order to trigger his line of story. Go into the cave while you’re at it. You will get another 12-zodiac ring from the treasure chest in there. Once the Yang family hero saw the spear, he will want to join you. Add him to your team if you want to proceed with this story. Bring him back to the Temple in the Village map. His story will proceed, and you need to destroy the altar. There is an underground storage below the altar. Access the storage with him, and you will get his Purple Grade Yang family spear martial art.
6. In the Inn, after you take a rest for 4 hours, will trigger the beautiful venom girl scenario. Beat her and defend her from enemies by yourself. You will be able to recruit her. She is essential for another recruit later in LinAn city area map. Make sure to bring her along when you travel to LinAn city and your Benevolence Value is above 80. Go to the small herb garden which is located at the Southwest from the LinAn city. She is needed for the quest to recruit the beautiful healer girl.
7. Dirty Street Monster hero character. As your ChuXiang reputation grows, you will be able to talk to him and give gifts to raise his favorability. At 50, will trigger a quest to help his friend to get out our jail. You need g5000 to bail him out. Get him out, and then ask him to return the favor. He will pass you the Yellow Grade bowl that he stole. Then you can continue to increase the Dirty Street Monster hero character favorability to 100. Recruit him to get his Purple Grade fist martial art. Destroy the box next to him, will have an alternative access to another area of ChuXiang city. There is a treasure box hidden between trees. Look for it. Hahaha.
8. Temple inside ChuXiang city. Previously there is a quest to get a Purple Grade martial art, but after the new version update, it seems no longer available. But it turned into a scenario that led to the opening of a new area outside of the city. A Lover’s Tree, where you can marry your female teammates in the future. The function is not yet fully open I think.
9. City Board Quests. There is a yellow ranked quest that requires you to find a treasure in the city. This is essential. Look for it. Every city has this quest. A total of 3 and combining these 3 items will open a new area outside of DaLiang city. A cemetery. I’m still exploring the possibilities of any heroes will trigger any event there.
10. Tame the cat behind the Wine Tavern. Requires Purple Grade fish, which you can fish it outside of LinAn city. Head southwest from the city towards the mountain just below the herb garden. You will open up a waterfall area. You need a total of 7 Purple Grade fish to max the favorability of the cat if I’m not mistaken. Then the cat will give you another 12 zodiac rings.
11. Ding family. When his favorability hits 100. A scenario to marry her daughter will trigger. Once you married his daughter, you can access his hidden storage in the house. A lot of money. Not sure will have any other benefits or potential scenarios if you marry her daughter. But you will have difficulties if your teammates are girls. Hahaha. Your wife will jinx you.
12. ChuXiang General Lu manor. You can join and work under him. He will appoint you to a rank and you can get a daily salary. In order to trigger this, you can talk to the guy sitting next to the Venom girl in the Inn, to trigger a scenario, that requires you to get a luminous cup from the Dirty Street Monster OR you can trigger another scenario via destroying the QingFeng Hideout that is located Northeast outside of the city. Yes, destroying a sect that you can join as a Blade wielder. To trigger this scenario, you need to save the two bandits that you met in the Wolves Valley. They will let you access the sect ground later on, and you can go inside and look for a corrupt official that is been held captive. Save him. He will pass you his seal, and you present the seal to General Lu in his manor. He will send his troops. Return to the Hideout, and a scenario will trigger. Destroy the sect together with the soldiers. After that, return to General Lu to complete the quest. Now you can serve under General Lu. Not sure what will lead to, I tried several tasks under his wings, but no progress. Maybe need to do more in order to trigger something.

About the village chief and his quest:
1. You don't need to get him to 100 - thou it helps. you need to get the *Village* to 100. (worship). (tested)
2. That's a question... how can you get into his underground room without breaking the jar?

[Everlasting]

i cant find the treasure in suburds still :(

[Drakmour]

Can you please explain stats. I saw that some people have 2+ attacks a round. I understand that you need action speed so that you would get 1000 action during battle faster. But where to see your action speed and how much dex you need to hit at least twice? I started the game right on Hell difficulty and I get only 19 points in stats as I remember and 38 points to spend on abilities. I want to play big sword guy so I want to max my str but I would use double hit. How should I make my char?

[Drakmour]

And can you miss anything in the world when you sleep if you don't have quests with timer atm?

10 dex is key, hard to get so max it first. You can go first, if you want more Action Speed you can get wind passives, in the far area they give +5 AS. You can check in character stats below DEF, which is AS. In ranking which stat to max first in creation, Dex>Con(hard to raise, costly)>Int(epic prayer incense, pray in confucius statue big exp daily). Luk just spam with autoclicker in a few minutes in Chuxiang statue. Str so easy to raise esp if you in Langya (a lot of legendary weapons, ultimate move, sword recipes, legendary/epic ores for easy money).
Keep in mind later on sect leaders or high level enemies have big damage, so damage is not so important. Just reset passives according to your enemies strengths. For example get some Resilient in 'Mountain' Tree, or Damage Transfer in Forest. In this case starting traits like 'Replenishing Qi and Blood doubles HP on con', HP is really important. My dumbahh didn't get this in my first nightmare so i went to confucius sect and get infinity manual (very tricky to get), it essentially 5x your HP pool with enough mana.
For cheap talents i get the one gives stats like int,str,con,dex.
Anyway sword external scales on dexterity not strength (that would be fist for example).
Int stats are good because they give 1 damage and 1 defense per level, and some combo.
While str give 1.5 damage/lvl, 0.5% crit chance. Con +2 max hp/lvl and 1.5 defense/lvl.
For further reference on stats check the fandom.
Just find out how to get epic legendary/epics manuals, weapon/armor faster.

My suggestion for you is to play nightmare on first playthrough and sleep until day 100, unlocks a lot of free stat points and more trait points.

I did 1st playthrough in nightmare without sleeping until day 100, kind of hard but still doable imo, just got taoist true ending and trying if it'll be possible to beat the sect leader.

You can enter combat and break the vase, it won't make the elder angry.

Thanks! It's extremely helpful!

Didn't get about sleep until day 100, living 100 days triggers something? And what about sleeping in general, will it make any world events to be failed if I don't have current timer quest?

And is it worth it to get talents for weapon profficiency at start? And also % exp boost, is there a level cap?

[Death_Toad]

They're saying sleep for 100 days because you get a bunch of achievements for every 10 days I think it was, for each difficulty up to nightmare so what's easiest is to just:

Start the game on nightmare, leave that first zone without dealing with either of the two people, and then sleep for 100 days at the temple.

I just set a macro on my mouse to keep clicking the bed and then the pop up to sleep the longest so I didn't have to sit and keep clicking the two options lol. Then start a new game with all the extra's you can now choose with all the extra points from the achievements.

Oooh. Thats what a trick is. You get "roguelite" stuff for achievements. Ok, got it about the "100 days sleep" thing. Thanks for the explanation.
But I will be still glad if someone will answer other questions. :-D

It can definitely be worth it to take weapon proficiency in the weapon you know you want to take, for a first time probably swords or fist. It allows you to get to purple external manuals much quicker. However, what you really want to do for later runs is to take the trait that doubles your gains of weapon skills from external skills. Combine that with the old man's sect and you'll be able to equip legendary skills extremely quickly.

[Drakmour]

So one question that anyone can answer me is about sleeping in general. Will any events anywhere in the world (not those quests that I get that hive timer) got skipped if I sleep too much? Are there any global timers? Or I can spend 1000 days in Nameless village sleeping and mining and only then go exploring?

[Drakmour]

Oh, an also what is jianghu knowledge? How I get and and should I spend it on level up? Is it some kind of special exp?

[Drakmour]

There are also 3 manuals that a warrior gives in the first temple, one gives a skill for twice damage on next attack, one increases speed until next action, one gives heal. What is the best? All those skills eat an action giving just a slight efficiency for next attack. Is it even worth to use in battle?
