Also why would someone bother with tutorial about building placement. It's best to do it without, and then watch stove explode.

Hahaha.

The Qi bonus and others bonus scale with the state level the spirit beast was before turning into a contract.

The real next step is starting your yaogai primordial spirit farm, and see how much can you speed up the process while still breaking trough the tribulation your law probably requrie for PS.

This game appeals to me for various reasons, however I've heard you had to parse discords or other web resources to find info, and I don't like to have to refer to outside help for my games if I can help it. So is the game giving you all the cards to discover yourself the systems or do you really need the findings of the hivemind to progress ?

I'm sure you can figure it all out on your own after several years of dedicated gaming.

You don't really need the discord hivemind to progress, but some thing are going to be pretty hard to find for yourself, because the IG documentation is extremely limited, and the approximative translation does not help, especially when it's sometimes outright false.
If you struggling or wondering about something, you might try asking here, I think we have bunch of knowledgeable enough people to clue you in, as long as you don't try something as autistic as a min-maxed taoist animist with T15 pills.
Also some ressources out there are just QoL, like a calandar of the fenngsui effect for the season (which is going to make you realize of utterly fucked the only water law is) , or an excel spreadsheet for physical cultivator.

After three aborted playthrough and several months of playing, I feel like I'm starting to a get a decent grasp of it, even I'm obviously now seeing a lof of shit I did wrong in my current game.

You absolutely don't need any guides to play it. I am kind of guy who hates guides which is why this game is such a joy to play. Because almost every hour you discover something new that completely changes how you think about game. There are some esoteric ideas but those are mostly reserved for end game and by the time you reach it you will more or less "get them" from other things you did in game.

Play tutorial and don't try normal mode (aka Immortal check) at start. in easy mode game pretty much teaches you stuff like feng shui etc.

If you want to play game without guide that something new pops up almost every hour then this is the game to play.

Jebys...

Just found out about Refining...
Speaking of, that is on the things were wiki might come handful, because there is lot of chance of that the % of sucess chance the game is giving you to be incorrect, as it doesn't factor the two potential bonus for it.

Bought it. Sank already way too much time managing my little guys.
Greatest highlight being building a copper room with lantern for my earth powered leader and having her die of several heatstroke in her sleep. 95°c may be too much actually.
Played two game, twice stuck with these Yaoguai tribulations. Is there an easy way to deal with them apart from rolling an all human team ?

While this is true, you have a lot of control over your starting team, ideally you want them all to be amazing cultivators. You can find others to do chores

Recruitment is non-trivial at the beginning, especially if you don't know what you are doing. Having a decent crafter can also be nice. Other stats don't matter that much if you're not playing in immortal, building doesn't take a lot of time and you shouldn't starve unless you made a colossal fuck-up

Shapeshifting tribulation is pretty hard and you need to have some foundations of your sect to deal with it. Like someone mentioned adding them to start is pretty assholish part on GCQ devs. Imho those should be completely behind either finding awakened animal in event or random chance your own animal awakening or spell.

Got myself tier 1 core (170k Quality) and managed to get other one to level above Core. The sub-spirit shenanigans are astonishing in how much they up the game when it come to how deep game is. Like Core stuff is deep but sub-spirit stuff takes everything before and multiplies it by 10 or more. Like before this you tried to get tier 1 core doing various stuff like starting again with reincarnation pill but now you have a thing where reincarnating multiple times each time learning different law has immense benefits...

Like when you have tier 2 or tier 3 of some skill normally you can't transcribe it to manual pavilon which means it can't be learned. But those tier 2/3 skills can be made into sub-spirits and attached to items. Which means that you can put tier 3 skill onto item then reincarnate and learn another law put another tier 3 skill into next items etc. until you have set of items with skills that normally aren't possible to learn like that...

Yeah, I believe that's the endgame for the classic cultivator (forgot the Chinese name used for it ingame). They said body cultivators can reach even greater heights though.

I was talking mostly about mechanics not power. I am yet to delve into physical cultivators though.

Last time I checked, I think the consensus was on xiando still being the strongest (especially in term of dps), as long as you infinite time and ressource and enough autism to do it, while high quality body cultivator are basically immortal, as in no ennemies formation are able to do more than slightly graze them, which they are going to recover instantly.

Physical cultivator are maybe a bit overwhelming at first, but there isn't a lot of additional layer once you figure out the basic. The challenge for them is more about how to get those rare essence, and planning the spreadsheet accordingly because you're going to need an insane amount of them if you want to min-max.
