Sample breakthrough room for golden core?

[Ivan]

Anyone wanna share their layout of breakthrough room for golden core?

I just wanna get some ideas on how it looks like.

[Halfshell]

Probably the same as a regular breakthrough room for the element, or packed to the brim in Qi gathering mats that feeds that element. Although maybe there are tricks I am unaware of.

Qi cushion in the center surrounded by stands with qi gather materials of the correct type

for example

			+
		+	+	+
	+	+	+	+	+
+	+	+	0	+	+	+
	+	+	+	+	+
		+	+	+
			+

It is not the prettiest but it is technically the most efficient design.

Keep in mind one caveat though...this design assumes top tier stuff on the display stands. Different items have different qi gathering distances so make sure you check that.

Check out the tutorial under the cultivation section called "Qi & Qi Gathering"

Example of early fire cultivator room with huge ginko tree. You can place qi gathering items inside the qi cushion and huge ginko tree by moving away the cushion and dropping them from nearby displays before moving the cushion back, remember to ban them from being picked up.

Same as Crimson Bolt said, but the standard setup to place on the stands is;

Spirit wood - outer layer
Stone essence - middle layer
Element feed type - inner layer

Just remember that the distance is says includes the tile it is placed on.

If you find some other pieces with better rates (Lumina core, Phoenix wood, etc.) just replace with the same type.

thanks alot for the input guys, now i know how it works.

only elements within two tiles of the mat matter for elements, so as long as the qi gather range is longer than two tiles you can incorporate items of different elements than the one you need by keeping them outside the two tile range.

I'm still confused. Can you elaborate why its like this? I thought nature overcomes earth but they are right next to each other ? Does the floor and wall materials matter?

If I wanted to do the same thing, but with a nature reincarnation would it be like this?

Metal elemental Qi gather item - outer layer
Spirit Wood - middle layer
Ice Crystal bar - inner layer

The material absorbtion is only one square (directly N/S/E/W of the spot you are on) the other items are Qi gathering items so as you regen Qi while you spend Qi.

So the only things you need in the prime directions are your element items. It may mess with room Feng Shui, but as long as you do not have a room requisite item in there it will remain neutral and it will not matter for your core. You get your breakthrough Feng Shui from the sect, not the specific room.

You can add four more elements in the corners. Don't know why people keep limiting themselves to the slim diamond design.

Do I need to put this into a room or is this best done outside?

Are you sure that the range reaches? I read somewhere that the diagonal range was quite short.

Those don't reach

I recommend that you read the ACS foundation guide. This has some incredibly detailed explanations about mechanics for golden core and more.

Yeah it's great. Basically explains all the mechanics in understandable terms. Their general guide feels a bit too optimised though. More like a speedrunner's guide than for people who actually want to play the game.

I agree there...

The problem with the guide in general, though exceptionally informative, is that it gives a sense of "If you do everything I say you will maximize everything ASAP"

Keep in mind the guide starts by telling you to literally mod in max stat reincarnation characters...

♥♥♥♥♥ sake....if you wanna kill a games enjoyment then all you have to do is strip it down to speed runner terms (Do X then Y then Z). I am not playing a game to find and do the most optimized everything....this is why I hate linear games. This is also why I hate the internet some days....I like the idea of filling in some voids where the developer was vague....but laying out literally every step is just too much.
