The balance is all over the place and indeed defense is the priority over everything else on Hard and above, because endgame bosses will simply oneshot you if you don't have every defensive passive + high CON. The game would be a lot more interesting if they flattened the scaling on level/ATK/DEF a bit and it were possible to play around with your build and take advantage of buffs and debuffs more.

Generally speaking higher difficulties have been balanced around a second playthrough, where you will likely have most of your stats maxed at the start with more than a few traits boosting them above 10.

also as far as i ve seen there s no content gated by stats
There is, particularly having low stats can hurt you. Caidie will kill you if you have low Con for example.

Winter Sale & December update info
Hello, adventurers!

We're gearing up for an update next week, and we wanted to give you a heads-up on what's in store. Keep an eye out for the exact timing and detailed Patch Notes in our upcoming announcements. Also, mark your calendars because we'll be running a 15% OFF winter sale from December 22nd to January 5th.

New Beast Manor Storyline

When you first step into the martial arts world, you hear whispers about the "Beast Mountain Manor" from a local hunter. In this update, after tackling the abandoned courtyard event in the southwest region, you'll snag an invitation from the manor, setting you off on a fresh journey. Expect over 30 new events, along with some interesting companions and affinity NPCs. And, of course, the manor wouldn't be complete without the adoption of rare creatures like pandas and white tigers.

We're also opening up various areas within the manor, including the new outdoor map "Bailing Mountain", where you can upgrade skills and meet the elusive "White Tiger" as a potential pet.

And for those who found life skill progression a bit slow, we hear you. In this update, we've significantly bumped up the acquisition of skill experience, so you can pick up those martial arts life hacks faster. We've also made some tweaks, like adjusting event logic, to keep your gameplay more engaging and meaningful.

If you run into any issues during your journey or you have any feedback with the update, feel free to connect with us on our official Discord[discord.gg] for assistance and to share your thoughts.

Are these devs really just going to release free DLC-sized updates every two months? At what point does it end?

After finishing corresponding events you can start a romance story line with her. For players already in the middle stage of the game, we added a certain level of compatibility as well, if already gifted Ruler’s Seal to Tsukuyo Sakuraha in Jiuli Tribe, you can still continue to experience the later events, but missing a certain part. If you want to enjoy the whole story line of Tsukuyo Sakuraha, we’d suggesting getting to know this girl in Daliang City.

    After getting a new item, it will disappear after clicking on a different tab or closing the menu.
  4. Homestead Back Mountain: can now choose whether to produce wood and stone or not.
  5. Added a highest score as limit for each floor of Sky Breaker Tower challenge, the score won’t increase infinitely after 50th floor.
  6. Master Shen’s Imperial Seal event in Yan Yun Region: now you can choose to continue or not.
  7. Preset (story-driven) battle UI now have auto-battle and battle speed options.
  8. Adjusted reducing damage effect of blocking: from directly subtracting two numbers to blocking a fraction of the damage.
  9. Increased the power of NPCs summoned due to status “Secret guardian”.
  10. After knock out, characters in player’s team will get "heavily wounded" and "near-death" status in free difficulty.
[Fixes]
  1. Fixed a progress bar mismatch issue at the beginning of a journey on the world map when using certain resolutions.
  2. Fixed an issue where blocking provided by status “every man has his duty” is not functioning.
  3. Fixed a potential laggy issue caused by too many items in backpack.
  4. Fixed a bug when Haitang Qiu’s letter delivering event is not triggered after Divine Flame Sect is destroyed.
  5. Fixed an issue where some NPC may not join preset battle during deployment phase.
  6. Under certain circumstances, events following Dominating the Martial World won’t trigger, this has been fixed now.
  7. Fixed an issue when going to Ye Yun’s place to get a new quest after finishing the Fotress quest, there could be two Ding Haitang at the same time.

I looked around and found that pirates don't give a fuck about this game.

In fact some trusted sources are not giving a fuck about WUXIA games. I even heard words: "it was so little popular, I wouldn't even bother to create any update." Now THAT'S lack of popularity. When even pirates say this game was released, and when they looked how many people liked it enough to download, they heard sounds of crickets.

As I said Wuxia games should be games that are for free, they should be made because of passion, and they should have INCREDIBLE complexity.
When people wouldn't make them to make profit, they might create them better.

You need to finish his storyline, then he fucks off. Alternatively, you can just not enter his school, tho his martial arts are pretty strong.

It becomes downright a necessity to be able to afford shit.

managed to finish it (nightmare difficulty), wonderful game

did most of content I could (beat all sect leaders in mountain, nine factions ending, become emperor, explored all areas I could find)

great ant city had the hardest fight for me with that fuck having doppelgangers that 1 shot nearly all of my companions, had to nuke main body down and pray took 10 attempts or so

build was nothing special pumping int made the most sense to me but should have just focused on str+con

you can cheese quite many 1v1 fights with wind, attack + run max distance so they cant hit you

glad I went with perfect adaptation worked well when playing blind

checked guide after should have left old fuck's sect just before finishing it so I could have done other sects after, guess I do em in another playthrough after they are done updating all content

old fuck's sect is ridiculously op trivializes early/middle game difficulty

liked all weapons except dagger is shit very awkward attack range, think spear was my favorite overall

next I check out wandering sword if its any good

Been playing this recently. Definitely slept on; it's got great reactivity, no handholding, good replay value when played ironman. I've got some gripes with some of the seemingly intended paths being too obtuse to follow properly, but I've had a bunch of great runs and done all kinds of things and passed by even more I still want to try. Game lets you be a total asshole, can kill nearly anyone including important/quest related characters, can fail quests, reputation matters in more than one dimension, money always seems useful no matter how much or little I have, pretty much all the combat paths and stat spreads seem viable and have some sort of noteworthy benefit.

Redoing a bunch of the early game stuff does get repetitive- but that's probably mostly on me for trying to optimize things I really don't need to. Game definitely needs a 'skip all these fucking tutorials' option though.

The blacksmith sells all that stuff. Once you reach a certain rep level with the Peddler (the trigger might be something else, don't remember) he will give you conditions to unlock a special inventory as well.
