More Divinity, more HP, more Stamina, more Stance…
 
Your guide to personal improvement!
 
 

In the very beginning…

Choose +3 Divinity and
 
+10 Hitpoints
 
 
 

Check your Mailbox

Yang and Mengqing will occasionally send you scrolls, letters, notes, whatever… that will directly improve your stats. So use them!
 
 

 
 
 

Lingzhi

 
Eat the Lingzhi (Fire, Water…). Right away.
 
 
The Fire Lingzhi will increase your Stamina
 
by 40 Points.
 
 
 

Build the Lecture Hall and recruit Tingfeng

Before, you need to prioritize building
 
a) the Main Hall and
 
b) the Lecture Hall:
 
 

 
 
You can unlock teachers, or lecturers, through the ageless Tingfeng.
 
 

 
She’ll arrive after the Main Hall is finished.
 
Tingfeng will be staying at the Inn, in the upstairs room on the far right.
 
She will agree to be your first teacher and help you with recruiting other Lecturers after you finish the Quest “Gesture of Sincerity”:
 
 

 

 
For each lecture taken, you gain stat points, or attribute points, and cultivation points.
 
Incidentally, your brothers and sisters will gain those cultivation points as well.
 
 
 

How to book a sect course

Go to the big board to the left of the Lecture Hall. Interact with F.
 
In order to recruit Tingfeng, go to Lecturer Management (on the bottom left) and press “Recruit” for Tingfeng. You need to pay the 500 Spirit Shards, too, of course.
 
 

 
 
Tingfeng will now be available in the Course Reservation list.
 
 

 
 
Click on “Scheduled” first and then on “Complete course scheduling”. The course will be booked for the first slot on that day (if it’s not yet 11 o’clock) or on the following day. The board should then look like this:
 
 

 
You can’t book a course late on the last day of a solar cycle, because you can only book a course for the current solar cycle.
 
30 minutes before the class starts, a paper crane will alert you and take you directly to the classroom, wherever you are.
 
Be alert if you are fishing at the time, since you might miss the paper crane and therefore, the class!
 
 
 

Invite more lecturers

After your first lecture with Tingfeng, there will be more lecturers you can hire.
 
They will cost you 500 Spirit Shards if they teach only one subject (tier one lecturer) and 1000 if they teach two subjects, which means you can raise two stats with one class (tier two lecturer):
 
 

 
I forgot, but it’s possible that the tier two lecturers only show up after your first breakthrough, or after you built enough sect buildings.
 
Don’t try to unlock all the lecturers (unless there will be an achievement for that, eventually); just make sure you have teachers for all the stats.
 
 
Important:
 
 

 
 
Don’t be fooled by the loading screen, and brother Yang, telling you that you can only take one course per solar cycle!
 
This is, in fact, wrong.
 
You can only take classes on one day per solar cycle (i.e. three days), but you can take up to three classes in a row on that one day !
 
Just book courses with three teachers and the three time slots will fill up:
 
 

 
 
While some Lecturers will come to the sect regardless, some have to be enticed with special gifts. Check out the list with Tingfeng:
 
 

 
After you have brought her whatever will entice them to pay a visit to the sect, you can click on “Invite” and they will simply be added to the hiring screen.
 
 
 

Priorities

I would advise prioritizing
 
Divinity (better crops, better drops, more luminous sand),
 
HP (less fainting),
 
MP (more spells) and
 
Stance (take less hurt, kill them faster).
 
 
But that’s just my opinion.
 
 
As of now, there is no class that will help you raise your Stamina.
 
Here’s hoping…
 
 
 

Breakthrough

These are early stats:
 
 

 
 
If you hover over them with your mouse, you can see the maximum potential (here: for HP) that you can attain.
 
Now, taking courses will raise your stats, but of course, only up to the maximum potential.
 
The breakthroughs will raise your potential higher.
 
 

 
 
The developers tell us to wait until we’ve attended a few lectures before we attempt our first breakthrough. Make of that what you will, but keep in mind that losing those cultivation points will hurt. And why raise your potential if you don’t take classes?
 
 
I say: Don’t forget to go through with the breakthrough, as it will significantly increase your potential and thus, allow you to further raise all your stats by taking more courses!
 
 

 
 
The second breakthrough does exactly the same:
 
 

 
 
 

Tranquility Elixir

You can get it at the Wandering Vendor, Mei.
 
It will increase your maximum stamina by 20.
 
Cost: 3 black ginger, 10 anima herb, 9 health essence and 1 earth herb.
 
 
Apparently, you can get 6 of it, in total.
 
 
 

Epilogue

This is a work in progress. Maybe there are tier three lecturers out there?
 
Alchemy recipes that do more than temporarily increase your attributes?
 
As soon as I find out, I’ll add to this guide.
 
 
Meanwhile, I found it worthwhile to explain what the first breakthrough really means and spell out the details of course reservation because I had found that confusing myself, at first.
 
Plus, I wasn’t amused to find out I had wasted weeks because the game explicitly told me (or so I thought, but maybe my english simply isn’t good enough) that only one class per solar cycle is possible… So read my guide and don’t make my mistakes.
 
 
Thanks, as always, for reading!
