Notes on Allies

On higher difficulties, Allies will receive the buffs to Enemies and Guests as Elite Characters, and Sect Leaders will receive buffs as Boss Characters
These characters will lose those extra stats and buffs when they join your party.

Allies also gain 1 Allocation Point every 5 Levels, and will automatically spend them when they are not in your party. Same with their Passive Tree Points

As a general rule, increase your allies Relations to 100 when possible.

Fate Moves: MC Spend 50 spirit to Assist; Then Character can use their Fate Move
The MC will gain status(+20% Damage Dealt; -20% Defense) in battle for every bonded party member that falls.
If the MC falls in battle, all Bonded party members will also receive a (+20% Damage Dealt; -20% Defense) status

When using the Benefit Equally Trait from the 15 Bonded characters Achievement, those stats will appear in the character screen while they are in your party. Those extra stats will not count towards meeting the stat requirements to gain the extra Traits from each stat

How to deal with a Sect that hates you.

This applies to Sects. This will not solve any Faction that hates you and will not work for the Southwest region

One simple trick to make a Sect hate you and still recruit your waifu in that sect.
Reset any Negative Relation with a Sect back down to 0.

1. Find out about Linlang Temple in the Nameless Village area
   
   • Chat with Bao Dating until he tells you the location
     
   • Follow the Old Man Sect's story line until he takes you there
     
   • Join the Confucius Temple and befriend Can Qi. He will tell you the location
     
   • Obtain the Ox Ring and talk to the Village Elder. Get a Dragon Key elsewhere or raise the Village Elders Relation to 100, leave the village, and come back to the village to get the Save Xiao Bao quest. Complete that and he will give you one
2. Go find or buy 5 Gold Bullion (15k Coins at pawnshops)
   
3. Talk to Fu Yaozi, ask to meditate
   
4. Click on the Gold Bullion icon on the sect you wish to reset. Cost varies on the negative Relation, maxing out at 5 Gold Bullion
   
5. You are now back to 0 Relation with that sect/person

How to Bond?

There are 2 ways to bond with a character.

1. Through a quest

At the end of this character specific quest, you will automatically be bonded with that character. Some characters will not have their Fate Traits if done a certain way.
Characters that are bonded this way:

• Fu Yaoqin
  
• Yu Wei'er
  
• Miao Caidie
  
• Princess Fu Qing
  
• Yi Zhihua
  
• Han Hongyu
  
• Wanyan Zhaoning
  
• Tang Wan'er

2. Wedding Stone at the God of Marriage Shrine

Take your character (100 Relation needed) to the Temple in Chuxiang during the daytime with no other quests for that temple active (Like the Serious Taoist Quest). There you will get an event with an Old Couple who give you a free Wedding Stone and tell you the location of the God Of Marriage's Shrine.
To bond with a girl through the Shrine, take her there (as the only member of your Party with 100 Relation) and a special (easy) battle. If you win you get Bonded. If you lose, you get a 2nd chance and can Spin the Blessing Slot Machine to bond.
Characters that are bonded this way:

• Hua Siniang
  
• Ye Yinping
  
• Luo Qianxue
  
• Hua Qingqing
  
• Ling Mengdie
  
• Ya Qin
  
• Jiang Ziyan
  
• Qu Wangyou
  
• Gu Qingcheng
  
• Yan Rurui
  
• Man Toulou

Party Roles & Passive Tree

If you want to separate or build characters to fulfill specific roles, you will either need to recruit them soon enough so they do not spend their Passive Tree Points, or use their current Trees.
Update: You can now reset your Ally's Passive tree using the 7 Apertures Restoration Pill found in the Heaven Tower's point shop.
Now that you can change the Passive Trees, you can set up any party member for any role. Naturally traits will make some characters better at certain roles than others.

Story of the 8 Saints and Backdrop of the game's story

Note: A consolidation of the game's back story as I interpreted it.

The Story

Long ago, during the generation before the last. A Great Hero emerged. Despite having no master, he mastered Martial Arts and became the strongest in the world. When the Yan Yun Army besieged Chuxiang City in a bid to conquer the nation, he alone stood tall and repelled the army.
A statue was erected in his honor and his deeds became legends, bringing hope to aspiring Martial Artists across the land. Unknown to the world, he took 3 disciples who would become central figures in the Martial World, as peace did not last long.

Not long after the Great Hero retired from the Martial World the previous Empire was toppled by a rebellion. A new Emperor arose with the help of General Han and the family of the previous Emperor was banished to the land to the South East of the Central Plains. The Great Hero's 1st Disciple was said to be close to the new emperor.

However, peace was short lived as the Yan Yun Army invaded south bound besieging Chuxiang City, believing their chance has come. The instability of the empire and the disappearance of the Great Hero appeared to be the perfect time.
General Yang, who oversaw the city, knew his army could not defend the city alone, and requested help from Martial Artists from all over the Central Plain. The 8 who responded and fought to protect the city became known as the 8 Saints.

The city now safe from foreign threats now came under attack by the court. Fearing another rebellion, the court charged General Yang with treason and executed him and his family. From the power vacuum arose the Pacifying Envoy General Lu who controls Chuxiang City to this day.
It is said that Marshal Ye inherited General Yang's righteous and chivalrous spirit. As Marshal Ye defends against the Yan Army, who is once again eyeing Chuxiang, who is say Marshal Ye won't suffer the same fate...

Meanwhile the 8 Saints created the Jianghu Alliance between the sects of the Central Plains. The 1st Disciple of the Great Hero, Fu Yaozi, became the leader of the alliance who sought to mediate between sects and to uphold righteousness.
However, a conflict between his fellow Disciples and 3 of the largest sects has caused him to step down and swore to not interfere with the affairs of the Jianghu World. The Jianghu Alliance remains without a leader to this day, awaiting the rise of a new Master or perhaps a Conqueror.

The 8 Saints

• Fu Yaozi. The leader of the 8 Saints.

  He founded the Jianghu Alliance before retiring after he had a falling out with his fellow Disciple and Saints, Chu Kuangshen and Yan Gexing. He vowed to never interfere with the Martial Art World, but still has significant sway. He also knew the founder of the empire and taught the current Emperor Martial Arts as the Royal Tutor.
  

• Chu Kuangsheng. The second disciple of the Great Hero.

  With his unrivaled Martial Arts, he visited the 3 Religion Sects and single-handedly defeated them one after another. He then robbed them of their unique Martial Arts and hid them. This caused them great grief, to the point where they joined hands in laying an ambush to capture him. With the blessing of Fu Yaozi, the 3 leaders, Zhang Yangzi, Hui Yuan, and Cai Yuanchang, defeated Chu and trapped him in the Ice Prison. However, they could not kill him as long as he knew the location of their lost Martial Arts and sent disciples to guard and learn from him. Also founded the Nine Factions sect but took a hands off approach and let his disciple, the current Leader of the Nine Factions, handle everything.
  

• Yan Gexing. The 3rd disciple of the Great Hero.

  Co-founded the Nine Factions along with Chu. He attempted to stop the capture of Chu, but was defeated and lost his Martial Arts due to his Meridian’s being damaged in the process. He is searching for a disciple in the Nameless Village to right the wrongs of the past.
  

• Zhong Yangzi. The current leader of the Taoist Sect.

  Venturing forth to protect Chuxiang City as a mere disciple, he was badly hurt and lost his Martial Arts skills. However, this injury was a blessing in disguise as it allowed him to realize the Taoist truth of nature and his martial arts skills rose even higher. He now leads the Taoist Sect under the principles of being upright, righteous, and eliminating evil to save the people and the world.
  

• Cai Yuanchang. The current leader of the Confucius Temple.

  After helping to defend Chuxiang City, he lamented the loss of numerous talents. So he began to advocate for more quality education and sought to invite the masters of the arts. However beyond his benevolent facade lies a cunning and deceitful man who values face and prestige. Currently obsessed with a prophecy heralding the coming of the Chosen One who will forever change the Martial World, believing himself to be the one.
  

• Hui Yuan. The current leader of Shifa Temple.

  After defending Chuxiang City, he returned to Shifa Temple and gave shelter to the people affected by the war. Despite the tenets of Buddhism prohibiting the killing of others, he still sends his monks to sabotage the military plans of the Yan Army in the region.
  

• Jian Chi. The leader of Langya Sword Pavilion.

  Obsessed with the sword and trained by a peerless master, Jian Chi rose to the top of the Martial World. He challenged many swordsmen and took their broken swords as trophies. They filled the courtyard of Langya and became known as the sword graveyard. After defending Chuxiang City, he returned to Langya and became obsessed with forging the greatest Sword known to man, the Xuanyuan Sword.
  

• Tang Tai Jun. The Leader of Beast Manor.

  After protecting Chuxiang City, she made a promise to guard the South West region, preventing the Jiuli Tribe from encroaching onto the Central Plains. To this day the Thousand Beast Manor remains in the South West, distant from the affairs of the Jianghu Alliance and the schemes of the Central Region courts. Was once close to Yan Gexing, but nothing became of it.

Sworn Brotherhood/Sisterhood and Experience Roll

Overview

Experience Roll Increase

Characters will gain 2/3 of your Bonus Kill EXP modifier from the difficulty Level.
On Normal Mode, your MC gets +150% EXP and Party Members get +100%
On Nightmare, your MC gets +300% Exp and Party Members get +200%

Sworn Brotherhood

Once you get a character to 100 Relationship (Inseparable), you get the option to become Sworn Brothers/Sisters with them and give them a new trait depending on the wine you use.

When you swear brotherhood with specific characters at the same time, those 2 (Or more) characters will get a unique trait on top of their Sworn Sibling trait.
The MC will not have access to any of these traits, they are reserved for Party Members only.

You can only Swear brotherhood once and if the NPC loses enough Relationship with you, they will lose the trait forever.
Some characters, like older Sect Leaders, will not Swear Brotherhood with you. The game say you cannot become Sworn Brothers with people outside of your generation.

How to unlock

Go to Lin'an City Market during the day while you have 1 or more Party Members at 100 Relationshp
Visit the Safeguard Escort building. The building to the right of the City Entrance
Go to the new Peach Garden located south east of Langya Sword Pavilion

How to Swear Brotherhood

Click on the stone table at Peach Garden and consume 1 Trio Incense (You can get more Trio Incense from Pawn Shops or in the Heaven Tower (Unlimited supply, refreshes daily)).
Then you can pick which party members you want to Swear Brotherhood with.
For each selected character, pick a Wine they will use. Each Wine will give them a specific trait and be consumed.

Wines and Traits

The most cost effective option is to use an Epic Tier Wine, since you can buy them from shops such as Wine God Tower. You can't replace them once you apply the trait, so pick the best one you can.
Wine (Tier) -> new Trait

Legendary tier traits

• Viburnum Dew (Legendary) -> Turning Misfortune
  
  • Effect: +80% EXP; +20% Max HP; When attacked while HP < 50% of max, Gain 1 instance of 1 Hit Invulnerability (Same as Mountain's top most Node). This effect can only occur once per battle.
    
  • Notes: The invulnerable effect only works if they are below 50% Hp when hit. Doesn't work if they got 1 shot. Not that great of an effect
• Lotus Stamen (Legendary) -> Flank Immunity
  
  • Effect: +80% EXP; +20% Max HP; -15% Damage Taken, and the extra damage from Pierce, Back and Side attacks further lowered by 15%
    
  • Notes: I have not tested if the Damage Reduction truly works. Its a decent tank trait otherwise.
  
  
• Luofu Spring Wine (Epic) -> Battle-Tested
  
  • Effect: +50% EXP; +10% Atk; +50% Weapon Atk (Green Number on character page).
    
  • Notes:This is probably the best of the bunch. It stacks with the Homestead Workshop Bonus (Which is +110% Weapon Atk at max)
  
  
• Monkey Wine (Epic) -> Invulnerable
  
  • Effect: +50% EXP; +10% Def; +50% Armor Def (Green Number on character page).
    
  • Notes:This is probably the 2nd best of the bunch. It stacks with the Homestead Workshop Bonus (Which is +110% Armor Def at max)
  
  
• Jiannan Wine (Epic) -> Menacing Intent
  
  • Effect: +50% EXP; +8% Critical; If the enemy triggers Parry or Evasion on your Attack, gain +100% Critical for your next Attack.
    
  • Notes: Not that great but can be useful on any character that naturally leans towards Criticals
  
  
• Cold Fragrance Wine (Epic) -> Seizing the Initiative
  
  • Effect: +50% EXP; +8% Evasion; Start your turn at 100 Qi/Action Points/Energy
    
  • Notes: I don't believe the 100 Qi/Action Points/Energy effect stacks with the Wind Passive Tree. Not that great on its own but can be useful on characters like Ji Fuling or anyone that is using Eternal Regret due to how that Internal functions (DLC 2 stuff)
  
  
• Bamboo Green Wine (Epic) -> Unshakable
  
  • Effect: +50% EXP; +15% Max HP; -50% Poison, Internal Injury, Bleed, Blind, and Seal applied to you by enemy attacks.

Epic tier traits

• Sweet Potato Wine (Rare) -> Fuming Rage
  
  • Effect: +20% EXP; +5% Critical; If the enemy triggers Parry or Evasion on your Attack, gain +50% Critical for your next Attack.

• Songlao Wine (Rare) -> Exposed Edge
  
  • Effect: +20% EXP; +5% Atk; +20% Weapon Atk (Green Number on character page).
    
  • Notes: Worse than its legendary counterpart, not that great.

  • Effect: +20% EXP; +5% Def; +20% Weapon Def (Green Number on character page).
    
  • Notes: Worse than its legendary counterpart, not that great.
  
  
• Dukang Wine (Rare) -> Strengthened Sinew
  
  • Effect: +20% EXP; +10% HP; -50% Poison, Internal Injury, Bleed, Blind, and Seal applied to you by enemy attacks.
    
  • Notes: Worse than its legendary counterpart, not that great. This will barely have an effect when used together with the Yin Tree node. Go for the better tier version instead.
  
  

  Rare tier traits

• Glutinous Rice Soup (Normal) -> HP Enhancement
  
  • Effect: +10% EXP; +10% HP;
    
  • Notes: Only useful for spamming bonds for the 40 Bond in 1 run achievement

---- Misc Guides and How To Do ----

The Fight Trick - To get both Miao Caidie and the 3 Melody House Girls

For this trick to work the Best, make sure you do not have anyone else in your party and put your pets in your homestead or have them STOP elsewhere like in Wuxian Mountain

Steps
Stop a few steps away from the Edge of the Gate Guards vision. Sneak to see this, leave sneak once in position. If you have more Movement Range, start further away.


Enter Manual Battle Mode using the Battle Button


If you are far enough way, you will enter battle mode and the enemy will not be aggroed.


High Movement Range:
You can walk behind the guard and retreat before ending your turn. This will let you past the Guards without making them attack you. The Retreat Button will be lit up and you can Retreat to end the battle where you are standing. If you are too close one of the Guards may get angry but will not do anything as long as they do not see you.


You are Free to walk around the Jiuli Tribe now. You will need to do this every time you enter or let the guards aggro onto you later when you raised the Relation of the Tribe. This works for every guard in the game.


Low Movement Range.

You will need to end your turn near the guard. Once you end your turn, he will aggro. You will need to move further into the Jiuli Tribe and find a place to retreat. Put your mouse on the Eye Icon on the upper Right to see the Battle Boundaries, You can Retreat once you leave that boundary.



You are now free to walk around the Jiuli Tribe as long as you don't go past entrance again

How to get 15-24 Wives - The Short Ver - Part 1

You only need 15 wives so the most likely candidates to skip are:

• Hua Qingqing - Persuade 3, Steal 4, also need to pay 50k to leave the Swallows. -40 Benevolence and Propriety to join
  
• Ling Mengdie - 5 Machinery or don't kill Tomb Raider (Complicated if never done before), or have a Level 4 Back Mountain in your Homestead
  
• Miao Caidie - Minimum 4 Con, 4 Beast Taming, can lock yourself out of the Melody House Girls without using the Fight Trick

You want to do this after getting a decent amount of Achievements.

Preparations

• Take any trait that gives +Gift Effect. Take traits that will make you stronger quickly, like Fake Newcomer, or quality of life things like, Son of Noble, or the Saint.
  
• Have a Homestead with decent Manuals and/or Items.
  
• Don't have any of that? That's fine, this will take longer. You'll need to the Taoist Sect and get everything you can there. The Ending Trait Magic Nature is very powerful and can carry you through the entire game.
  
• Optional: Infinity Manual is similarly powerful but requires you to start with 1 Int to get. It also can carry you through the Entire game
  
• You will need 4 Beast Taming, 5 Machinery, 4 Steal to recruit 3 of them. Be ready to grind this out if you want those girls.

Now the big question:

How do I bond with this character?

1. Through an Event. This will be noted down.
Or
2. Take your character (100 Relation needed) to the Temple in Chuxiang. There you will get an event with an Old Couple who give you a free Wedding Stone and tell you the location of the God Of Marriage's Shrine.
To bond with a girl through the Shrine, take her there (as the only member of your Party with 100 Relation) and a special (easy) battle. If you win you get Bonded. If you lose, you get a 2nd chance and can Spin the Marriage Slot Machine to Bond.

Now here are the steps to get all 19 Girls in the game

Remember:

• Goal: Build up power & Money
  
• Unlock Homestead (4 Fame, for easy storage of wives and %HP buff)
  
• Bond with the Wedding Stone girls right away for the Hot Springs buff
  
• Make sure to ACCEPT Kang’s Hero Card at Fame 5

Steps

Start

Nameless Village

1. Skip both girls at the start (you can help Hua Qingqing if you have decent power, reject her suggestion to take Luo Qianxue)
   
2. Reject the Old Man (Or join him and/or leave later. You will skip Hua Qingqing, Luo Qianxue, and Ya Qin, Ding Haitang if you stay. This will give you 18 other girls to work with)
   
3. Recruit Hua Siniang (1) - Support & Food, Don't finish her quest, You can bond with her as soon as she joins you.

8. Join CIB, recruit Luo Qianxue, leave Sect whenever. Qingqing and Qianxue's personal quests are mutually exclusive.

The person you do not side with will leave your party. You will not be able to recruit Qianxue if she leaves while you are not part of the CIB.

[Kochenk]

Is it possible for Monk Shi Chen to be arrested, then freed, and we can still continue healing him? Or do we lose the chance to heal him for 5 days once he's arrested?

[Amplify]

Scratch my previous message, I accidentally found out I can still encounter the bandits and get +1 stat point as long as I come at noon, I'm not sure if having Ye Yinping in my part was needed or not. The guide should probably swap the order of those two events, it's confusing.

[Amplify]

Also I just discovered (160 hours too late) that you're meant to encounter Ye Yinping first at the crossroads and that you're just supposed to somehow know are there when you begin the game and it locks out her later events if you don't do that first apparently. Is her Spear & staff trait just gone forever now because I didn't help her fight bandits, or will that still be possible somehow?

If not, who might be a good girl to replace her in my party? I wanted a staff user to round my party out (Wangyou / Tuolou / Fu Qing / Rurui) but that's the stupidest way to get locked out of something, damn.

[Amplify]

Group Battle. If you are Married to Lady Fu Qing (Duke Kang's Sister) Skip this battle and go to Alternate Resolution
Alternate Resolution:
If you are married to Fu Qing, you will fight a duel against the Clerk (1v1) and kill him.
Hua Siniang Gains Unique Trait Overcoming Hardship (+3 Luck, +1 Dex, +1 Int)

What the guide doesn't actually mention at all is the alternate resolution tanks your relationship with Duke Qi, because you didn't consult him first.

[BoopDaSnoot]

Can confirm with @Don, I side with Hua Qingqing at the beginning, didn't even untied Luo Qianxue inside the nameless temple, but after I married them both, bought them to all 10 of their destination, they both got their ultimate.

Hell, Qingqing got her ultimate first cuz I visited all treasure shop and they counted seperately, so Qingqing got her ultimate before she got to the graveyard, while Qianxue got to wait until I found the graveyard

[Amplify]

Oh, yes turns out you're right. I don't remember recruiting him.

[darkshintos]

Sounds like you put him in your homestead and forgot about him.

[Amplify]

I'm having a problem. I completed Lu JIan Nan's storyline with the snow leopard ages ago, but now that I've come to do Beast Manor I can't find him to bring him back there. He's not outside the inn any more and I've no clue where to look for him, I wasn't paying much attention to what he said at the time as I assumed I was done with him.

[TenHorizons]

Hi @darkshintos, I found that for Yan Rurui's recruitment, you can skip giving Duke Kang the seal of the people/seal of the sky if you wait until Duke Kang ascends to the throne, only then go see the Prefect.

The MC would tell the Prefect that Duke Kang is busy at the Imperial Palace and doesn't need to worry about these small affairs, and the Prefect will accept.

There may be other factors that are required. For me, I did this right after attending the coronation ceremony and have Fame level 10.

[ZZZMETA]

@GMSinick Can confirm with Yang Yao'er. Yang is just that cool
