2) You can raise all stats to a natural 10. Respeccing the bonus points this is also pretty easy. That being said, str is usually a good choice for a general dmg increase but it depends on the weapons and skills you use.
3) Visit all cities, go to the bar and talk to the locals for rumors and things to do. Luck you easily gain for your main character in chuxiang by bowing to the statue (do it 10 times in a row, needs 100 stam to get an epic quality sword), Int by praying at shrines and especially the Confucius statue at the Conficius sect (needs fame 5 to get in or find a different way), Constitution can only be raised by eating blue or better food items (this is the hardest stat to raise).
4) You don't need to do anything with it. There are some combos of characters that get an extra buff if they swear brotherhood at the same time but it's not super important. This is a pretty new mechanic and just another power buff for companions.
5) Most things are gated by your fame level, not time. The biggest gate is the moment you decide to enter the Yan Yun Camp. Many quests become unsolvable or unavailable at that moment. But you decide when you do that.
By the way, I lost the game on Hard before I reached a proper ending, so make sure you get the achievements you want and your next character will be a lot stronger.
Also, how is it even possible to lose the game if there's no time gated stuff? I've not gotten any impression that you can't just load the game and try again if things go wrong.
And you can lose by just not being strong enough to beat some enemies in a story battle. On a first playthrough Hard isn't easy.
Swearing Brotherhoods with specific characters at a time can give them an extra trait on top of the wine based one.
Such as Chang Chunzi and Dugu Jianyi getting a +80% damage modifier when using Sword Martial Arts.
Also, Trio Incense can only be bought in infinite amounts in the Heaven Tower/Sky Breaker Tower. The Pawnshops won't restock them, so its a finite resource until you beat all 4 Daliang Arena Tournaments to unlock the Tower (Their shop resets over time and points can be farmed infinitely via resetting it).
I have a list of which character combos gives them Brotherhood traits, but I haven't gotten around to getting every single trait yet (Sworn Brotherhood/Sisterhood and Experience Roll Section):

Btw I am left with one clarification question after all this, the other guy said that generally strength is always better, does that also apply to things like Zithers and Lutes?
Str is always better, because the scaling of Martial Arts caps at a 10 difference in their Core Stat. So with a Dex Sword against a target with 5 Dex, you will do the same damage with 15 Dex as you would with 50 Dex.
Str is also the only Attribute that has +% Damage increases based on the amount in your Passive Tree (Thunder). Int doesn't have any and Dex give you more damage if you have LESS Dex than your enemy.
So you end up getting more damage from Str than just the extra Atk from it.
Musical martial arts use your Current Mp as their Core Stat, and you'll get max damage at 1k current MP over your enemy.
2. i like Dex, for speed. but i also like str to be at 15. it kinda depends, on how you fight. what to act a lot, go dex, what ot tank go con, want to combo and block go luck. want skill damage go int, want raw damage go STR. its personal preference. i like to act a lot, also so i pick dex. may be sub optimal but... yea. my choice.
3. inn's click the flashing speech bubble and chat, to unlock lots of info. make lots of cash invest in item and give them out. learn the skill if you can, gifting is good for 3 reasons. 1, you can dual,learn skills, and trade.2. boost faction/town/sect trust score. 3 helps globe fame score. got to the combat school, get to fame level 4 unlock homestead, max out your combat skill to level 10. combine to make them more powerful. have to useful skills one is dex and oen is Ste. you maxed your str.. combine with the STR first and get the befits of both in a new powerful skill for that play-though, can be helpful. hunt for achievement, unlock them , get as many achievement as you can. they super powerful for your next run. inf act, if you pick super hard difficulty. and just stay in bed for 100 days can next you about 28 achievement for doing nothing. 3,day 10 day, 20 day 40 day 60 day 80 day 100 day 4 achievement per mile stone. but mostly its about enjoying your self and doing stuff. that half way to an extra item on start up (each 50)and each 5 get you an extra start point on start up. so that 5. kinda useful.
4.brother hood. don't know but i know it unlocks achievements, which is extra point to have available on your next run. same with marriage, but that also get you hot spring buff's to health, achievement, and the lady's get a nice special skill. you do not have to use a wedding stone on all of them, they often auto marry you if you finish there mini story ark for free. to be blunt don't know much about it.
5. time limit... how long till you get board and more on to the next game. save often the game can be brutal even on easy. there seam to be a lock out on the save the emperor quest. but I've only saved him once. you don't need it, if your going for most other true ending.
the weapon on start up depends on your choice it not stuck in stone. you can change weapons you just need to unlearn you skill and learn new ones. may seam like a bad idea, but.... music weapons unless your going for the melody house path to power, is pointless.
while swords seam good, but fist and pole arms are more common, if your going down the hidden master tutorial path, that star at the nameless village gates. while sword is good in your going the crime Bureau. while a dagger is better if your going swallow nest. so pick the weapon that you get the most skill books for. as the more combat skills the options you have in a fight. also different rarity helps. the higher the rarity the less you can use skill. can have 1 to 3 round of not in use.
hope this helps. but in essence it's your road to walk, and i hope you enjoy walking it.
right now I am going daggers with dexterity and I can beat higher level enemies without them even attacking me using hit and run tactics
Same question goes out to anybody else reading this I guess.
Caidie's event gives a permanent +/- modifier to your stats. You can't go below 1 but the game will keep track of negative stats preventing you from gaming the system.
Assuming you will get all 10 uses out of Caidie's Event:
General recommendation is to use the Str option 5 times and Con option 5 times. That will give you +10 Str, +5 Con, and-5 Luck.
-Or use the Con option 10 times for +20 Con and -10 Luck.
-Or use the Str option 10 times for +20 Str and -10 Con (Only if you have like 20 Con naturally)
Luck doesn't really contribute to combat, so its safe to get rid of it. Losing 5 Luk is only -2.5% Crit/Combo/Eva/Parry and -1.25% Counter. Losing 10 Luk is -5% and 2.5% respectively.
Overall, Str and Con are drastically more important than the other 3 Attributes. They both have Passive Tree traits that use them for extra damage and damage reduction that the other 3 don't have.
So its worth losing Dex, Int, or Luk if it means you get more Str or Con.
However the Str option reduces Con so you don't want to take that option without a game plan (Such as picking 5 and 5 to negate the Con loss).
I want that Monkey ring, I'm on track to get all of them but from what I'm seeing I *need* to join the Confucius sect for it. I'm currently in the Taoist sect and have done everything before the fight to get the rights to enter the ice prison, but I'm hesitating to proceed. Should I leave now and go do the Confucius sect and the ice prison through them to ensure I get the Monkey ring? Either way, is there a best sect to do this particular questline through since from what I understand I can only choose one?
The monkey ring is from Longevity Tomb, which you can unlock 1 of 2 ways. First is joining the Old Man sect at the start of the game and reaching level 50 or whatever the number was. The second is joining the Confucius Temple and getting the Leader's Relationship to 100 as its for his Personal quest (Not related to the rest of the sect questline). Since its not tied to the rest of the sect, you can join them after the Ice Prison and still get it, if you want the Taoist rewards from Ice Prison.
The Ice Prison quest is shared between 4 sects, the Old Man sect, Taoist Sect, Shifa Temple, and Confucius Temple (And 9 Factions in the DLC route but you can't leave them so its moot).
You get one of the rings there IF you kill Lao/Chu or get him to 100 Relationship and save him. (I think it was the Goat ring)
The only real difference between them is which mutually exclusive Martial Art manual and Ultimate move you receive from them.
Overall, you want to do it under the Old Man as his manual is the best (Which you already missed since you're in the Taoist Sect), closely followed up by the Confucius Temple's manual.
- Old Man - People's Palm external - Fist/Omni weapon type, highest damage scaling in the game, provides all 6 external/weapon stats. You'll want to get this eventually for future runs.
- Confucius Temple - Confucius Thirteen Sutras internal - Prevents enemy Crits, Parries, evasions, etc - incredibly powerful and useful on higher difficulties.
- Shifa Temple - Holy Brahma Technique - ramping damage when hit. Not that great. Used for an effect in Vairocana Godly Palm and/or Darmha Staff externals
- Taoist Sect - Emperor Yin Yang Sutra - Disables enemy Internals. Useful for specific fights.
I won't describe the Ultimate moves since you can't carry them over, so they are one and done, but they are all around the same power levelBy the way speaking of ultimate moves, are they actually useful at all? It feels like Spirit is nearly impossible to gain in the quantities needed for any of the ultimate moves unless you're messing about a lot. Perhaps I don't really understand the mechanic.
By the way, do you only get the effect of the main internal you have equipped? I have the Herbology Sect leader in my party and I feel pretty sure I'm getting the effects of all three of her internal moves.
