(WIP) Path of Martial Arts: The Beginning (Dark, Eastern Fantasy | 1 055 000 words)

Okay guys I’m getting ready to play this game again for the first time since right after the secret realm ark I just want to ask a few things

One what are some pitfalls traps and dead ends that I may have forgotten or that were only added after I stopped playing

Secondly what are the optimal choices for the most over powered build in the game

I’d say hold off on that last part because there’s a total system rework incoming.

  • Event with Jing Guo (if alive/friendly)
  • Event with Yue Fang (if roomate)
  • Beginning of the 3v3 stage
  • Crits. A lot of crits, for every attribute, in practically every post-expo fight. High enough CON now can tank practically everything in the game, High AGI can dodge, High STR can one-shot.
  • Progress after post expo now revolves around Body Refining and Qi Cultivation. More on this is explained in-game.
  • Reworked all attributes, XP gain, Health, pills, items and so on. Perks and other bloat has been removed.

  • Preparation for 3v3, which includes power-ups, lore reveals, and more.

  • Entire 3v3 (without post-reactions for now). Includes fights with both twins, one twin, Chu Muchen, variations depending on He Gang, Yuan Fang and other factors. These fights are absolutely massive word count wise, though a lot of it is in different branches, failed checks and so on, so it may feel shorter.

Old saves won’t work!

I (and my beloved beta testers) did our best to find/fix every bug we could, but considering the scale and mechanical changes of the update, it’s inevitable that some have remained. If you find something, comment here or better post it in the bug channel on discord. I’ll be actively fixing all the bugs over the next few days.

Still hoping for Charisma Crit checks, making more rel bonuses and people head over heels instantly

You can save the wine shop guy now on Mei’s route with a favour on Long Chen? How do you get Long Chen’s favour?

sect_after_expo line 15: Non-existent variable ‘total_pill_effect’

You can’t ,the way you get long chen favor is by telling him Mei wants to kill you which surrenders the bomb and ensures Mei hates you. The cheat method is to download the save and in a save editor set lcfavor to true ( instead of false)

Is it normal that their is a some sort of system failure when your done talking with Tang wei? The part where you choose Rainbow door, gloomy our dark door is i think bugging

I don’t know if this is considered a spoiler for the game and if it is then I have no clue how to make it invisible like other people do for spoilers but is there a difference between killing the demon boy for the demon manual versus getting it from his insane maniac mother for our evil master? Like do we the mc get something more by getting it from the mother or not?

Well, IIRC one of these options is for MC who has replaced the demon guy as the demon queen’s son and the other is for the MC who avoided this path. So the difference is in the associated plot changes and benefits you get from the demon queen otherwise, if you are her “child”.

But does the MC get extra exp by getting it from the demon Queen mother like stealing her manual from her for the mc evil master.

I don’t know, haven’t played the most recent version yet. Realistically if for whatever reason you have already picked to play only one of these routes over the other, whatever minuscule differences they might be here ain’t really going to make you change your mind.
