9th internals aren't even released if that wasn't a typo.

I saw a power title table where 129 self recollection was rated a little higher than maxed sunflower, but it also didn't have 5th internals or the extended 4ths.

Some guy in beast villa who plays on the chinese servers sometimes was explaining how all the beast capturing stuff works and was talking about why vagrants are rad. He was explaining how self recollection is several orders above and beyond everything else like the 5ths.

So as a brand new player hoping to learn how to play the game, is going Vagrant right off the bat a bad idea? That was my first inclination, but after a few hours of playing I'm wondering if perhaps joining one of the schools would have been a better idea.

Do the vagrant quest line first to get the skills, then choose a school if you want.

OK I was requested to do a basic write up of Shen (aka HERR DOKTORS)

GETTING IN
Unless you're a saint, buckle up.

If you're a good guy, you might get an RE. No clue how this works I'm afraid.

If you've been a BAD BOY you gotta get a certificate letting you in. You do this by gathering a buncha materials for the Shen. The mats are the 3 basics of each gathering, so in my case (mining), I had to gather 150 Lead ore, 150 Copper ore, and 150 iron ore. All total, around 1.5 hours of grind. Do this, and you'll be in.

Now enjoy a quick tour of the Shen grounds, and you'll be doing the intro quests. this is mostly showing off how shens are outward assholes but secret good guys.

Once you're fully in, you'll have your inner to a max of 5 and the skills to a max of 3. Grats, you're a doctor!

GETTING STRONGER
Certs. You get 20 certs a day for your daily, in addition to ~6k Rep (more on this later). You can also get 5 certs every time you bring a rare herb to the Shen (this happens 20:30 to 22:00 daily, gotta troop it from suzhou/wherever to chengdu on foot, no teles or anything). Doing the herbs also gets you a once a day 50K insta-cult pill, so do it at least once.

I WANNA ATTACH DONGS I HEARD ABOUT THIS WHAT GIVES

Gotta get medical points. You can only do this after around 3 days of daily rep grind, so get going. Once you can get these, you can get 500 a day. Max. these are used up in performing buffs and dong attachment/meridian opening, so be smart with it. No clue how you actually get these at the moment, more to come soon.

ONLY THE TOP TEN CAN REATTACH DONGS, ONLY THE NUMERO UNO CAN PUNCH MERIDIANS OPEN

By punching meridians and sewing dongs, Med points are spent (at quite a high cost). Since Shens can only get 500 points a day, this naturally means the number of punched meridians is highly limited. Sekrit NT and GTC agents in Shen are hard at work negotiating a potential revolving door policy for the number one spot

About 5.5D, plus 120L for each face painting you do.

The herb transporting event can be done by anyone from any school or faction to get that cultivation pill. 50k points takes roughly five hours away from whatever you're cultivating. It functions like script stealing, so someone can kill you to steal it. NPC thieves will randomly spawn and hit you with slowing darts, but they have very few hitpoints and give you a 2 minute speed buff when you kill them. You can do this event multiple times, but can only eat one pill a day.

Another thing to note. You're SUPPOSED to have a massive speed debuff on you when you have the herb on you, and the debuff is supposed to apply to your horse as well.

HOWEVER because chinagame, if you mount your horse and DONT USE A HORSE SKILL, your horse moves at its default speed (aka 10.5 for guild ones). Through autismal testing, I've worked out that if you do this herb thing as much as you can, you can get an herb from suzhou to chengdu every 10 minutes. The herbs last until 22:00, but they stop respawning around 21:30, so you can get at least 30 or so certs as a Shen if you full-autism mode it.

The debuff also stuns you randomly, and I think the description said it also raised your defense, although I didn't notice a difference. When I did it, it was in the farm on the west side of Yanjing, so it's one of those events that's in a different place every day. Is the location listed anywhere, or is there a pattern? Or do I just have to keep my eyes open for an announcement that doesn't even show up in any of your chat windows or system logs?

it's supposed to pop up around 10 minutes before it starts for the 19:30-22:00 event, but we didn't see any today. that's the one where it spawns like 20 of them at once and re spawns them too, so its the premier source of cert gathering.

BREAKING NEWS FOLKS
There are 23 people the Shen family doctors can go heal for medicine points. So far, 13 of these have been found. If you're wandering around any of the major cities, and see someone with (Bao Huxuan) in their name, shout it out in guild chat.

MORE BREAKING SHEN NEWS

It seems to cost 200 Medicinal points to per meridian book bought, with each use costing 50 points. This should be sure to temper the chance of hoarding the top spot.

Names are limited to 7 "words", which of course means Chinese words which makes us stuck with 7 letters.
Descriptions are limited to 30 "words", which once again means 30 letters :cripes:

5 of these + 40L renames accessories (jewelry)





Weapons cost 80L plus 5 of another item.


They changed the Black and White Undertaker Lore into something much better!

The kids never shut up for the time that they're active but they can be pretty funny. Especially when 4-5 people all summon them.
