Im so loving lost I have no idea what to do. I logged in after god knows how long, Im out of the guild, my inventory is full, this package they gave me has like 4 pages of items I cant loot because of it.

Im level 30 emei second internal, I left the game before they added chi, I have like 400 school certs in my bank and a bunch of pills. What is my best course of action?
Probably betray to Vagrant to get their stuff then do whatever.

Not really as far as I know, but it's more for the attack sets. Also, you can rejoin Emei later if you want and join Shifting Flowers on top, so you can have double the pretty princess.

Wait until you betray to gobble them if you're going to betray, or at least use them on non-Emei stuff. If you betray now, anything you cultivate for Emei will be wasted. I don't know how to start the Vagrant questline though, other than look for the 3 people with colored icons over their head near the headmasters. The red one is betray. After that maybe going to one of the coachment that talks about schools will start you off on the vagrant quest if you pick "no school"? Not sure, but I know it works that way for new characters.

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.

Does Beast Villa's "Wind Tiger and Cloud Dragon" "Rip and Tear" effect add to everyone's damage or just the BV character's? Is the parry effect per hit or per attack, and does a single parry give you 10 stacks? If the BV set is literally Perish Blade but with Mangle it would be a must-get in the long term.

POMF event trip report:

Ok, we're starting to figure out our hardest event (at least we think it is, there's one more we haven't gotten 10 together to activate yet). So far we know it goes something like this:

You start out split between the front gate and the headquarters trying to prevent reinforcements.

Part 1: The reinforcement position
The enemy reinforcements run down the ramp to the exit point, and if they succeed it says the enemy gained morale. They spawn about 10 seconds of walking distance away from their exit, have probably around 100-200k hp each, and will not stop to fight you. Needless to say, we have not succeeded at this yet and have resolved to give this up in the future in favor of focusing on the front gate.

Part 1: The Front Gate
You have to kill off about 200 people, each of which has anywhere from 50-200k hp. They aren't too deadly though. After that is a boss which has probably around 500k-1m hp. If you don't kill this within a half-hour, something happens and you are skipped to the headquarters and past the first and second stages. Currently we do not know what happens if you kill this guy in the first half hour. There's a good chance we'll find out Tuesday.

Part 2: The traps
We also don't know how to do the second stage properly. There's something about turning off some mechanisms, kill another couple hundred people here who are tougher than the first group, and then another boss we have not even seen. We can barely kill the first boss in the first half-hour with 7 of us (about half the faction currently), and you can get around going through the traps if you go past the half hour mark.

Part 3: The Headquarters
You have to kill a bunch of people again. However, this time you also have to burn buildings down. There are bonfires on the lowest level of the compound which you get torches from. The trick here though is that you can't be in combat and pick up a torch. Also the torches last 20 seconds after you pick them up. Also the enemies take about 5 minutes to kill and respawn about 5 minutes after dying. And they have flying skills so you can't just jump into a nearby tree to drop aggro.

Then after you kill the 200 more people who are tougher than the previous group, and fight through their constant respawns, and then somehow manage to burn their buildings with your torches that last 20 seconds (which you need about 10s to reach one of the buildings with no interruptions), only then do you have to fight 3 more bosses.

After that we don't know if there is more or not.

As near as we can figure out, you get no rewards unless you complete it all in one go in one hour. More Chinagame science forthcoming once we kill the first boss within a half hour on monday (probably).

Speaking of the event, we nearly killed him Saturday afternoon. It's hard to do with 9 people.

Yes, that's over 4 million damage done in 20 minutes. loving chinagame.
POMF did our version of this with 12 people last night, and we had to do it in 15 minutes. Quit slackin'.

And that's not at all our hardest event. Not by far.

I stopped playing this a few months to a year back after having accomplished absolutely nothing of worth and the new updates lured me back in (oh god why). Created a new vagrant character because it seemed new compared to picking one of the eight schools and I wanted to try out one of those other factions added to the game. Did I make a mistake? How would I go about becoming an effective face puncher instead of always being the one getting their face punched in?
Join a faction. Or join WV and get perish blade plus a mentor for third inner and do tornadoes once you have it leveled some and a few meridians rolling. Get those jianghu inner fragments. I hear Beast Villa's set is good for PvE though, which is what you need at the start, so maybe that's another quick route to tornadoes while doing a faction at the same time.

If you can get on your old character, you may have a million cultivation, chi and such for the returning hero event. Maybe even a free month of VIP. Plus you'll have a bigger accumulated chi pool, which is a big deal for starting out. Just betray if you don't want the school.

So whats all this about internal and external damage? Say Im a pretty princess in the POMF faction and I want the new slut dancing princess sting set which is mostly yin-soft, will I be hampered by it in one way or another?
External sets have damage reduced by armor. Internal sets are reduced by internal defense of the appropriate type.

Each skill set is taichi, yin, yang, soft or hard in addition to the internal/external designation. If you use an inner of a compatible type (a yin set with yinsoft inner for instance) you get +20% damage. Taichi inners get +16% with the other 4 types. Yinsoft inners (POMF) get +16% with taichi sets and +0% with yang or hard sets. Yanghard inners get +16% with taichi sets and +0% with yin or soft sets.

My double stings are nearly capped in manuals, and everything else barely has any, so this is probably going to be pretty nice for me when I have to 1v1 a fool.

Now if only they would release a perish blade replacement cash shop set...

funakupo posted:

5USD I would throw at it but 30USD (I assume) is a bit pricey to sit and rot. If Snail wants to throw new sets around like candy, they should consider a knee-jerk buy price and then every player buys sets all the time.
If you do kidnapping every day the whole time it is active on one VIP account, you can probably get it for ~$8 or less. That requires you to be on to do the kidnapping though.

Is spending thirty dollars on a set seriously worth it though?
It depends on the set. For instance, I find Yuanyang to be very useful in a lot of situations from assassinations, to assassination defense, to guild wars. That spin vacuum+stun is niiice, as is the armor airdash capability which I use for things like tornadotime and rushing throne interruptions. If this set is as good as it is claimed to be, then yeah probably. Especially if it is competitive with something like ancient dog beating (which I don't really know at the moment).

You can use your kidnap taels and get the people selling cash shop items to buy it for you, which is technically cheaper. Unless you're cool with spending $30 on it or are bad at kidnapping.

I'm almost convinced that Snail does it themselves on idle accounts, to "encourage" returning players to buy VIP or silver from them. Though I can't completely discount the fact that it's Snail, so they could just be getting straight-up hacked on the regular and it wouldn't be too surprising. Either way, you're not getting your stuff back.
I've gone on 2 three month+ hiatuses and been around since the first ban waves. I have never had a liang disappear across 12 accounts.

Claim it during kidnapping hours. Just leave it unclicked when you log in, wait until 20:00, then open the menu, click end game, and instead of hitting "quit" click "rewards" and THEN claim it.

You have to be offline through an entire reset cycle, from 0:00 to 23:59, before you can get in the labor queue for any unbound I think.
