Max Qi

Max Qi is the maximum amount of Qi that a Cultivator can store in their body. It's crucial to maximise before Golden Core Breakthrough for improving Golden Core Quality, while also being useful for casting costly Miracles and Battle Spells, tanking damage with Qi Barrier and recharging Artifacts.
==Initial, Max and Cap==
===Initial Max Qi===
A Character's Initial Max Qi is affected by their Qi Sense level, Constitution, Intelligence and to an extent, Perception. A simplified equation of Initial Max Qi would be:
 InitialMaxQi = (3*Qi Sense + 95) * (4*PER + 15*CON +15*INT + 330) / 125
This can be further reduced in case the character has Meridians damage (multiplied by the damage gravity).
=== Total Max Qi===
The total Max Qi is given by (reusing the True Value Property Equation):
 TotalMaxQi = [InitialMaxQi * (1 + BAddP) + BAddV] * (1 + AddP) + AddV
Where:
* BAddP is the sum of all Base Max Qi % bonuses, e.g. from 
*BAddV is the sum of all Base Max Qi bonuses, e.g. from or Manuals like 
*AddP is the sum of all % Max Qi bonuses, e.g. from 
*AddV is the sum of all flat Max Qi bonuses, e.g. from Anima Conversion
===Max Qi Hard Cap===
The hard cap for Max Qi in the base game is 100 million. The value comes from the NpcLingMaxValue property, and its MaxValue attribute, set to 99 999 999. The discrepancy is due to IEEE 754 floating point precision limitations. 
== Innate Sources ==
===Starting Character===
Characters that the player starts the game with (either in Character Creation or through Narrow Escape) get +100% Max Qi (AddP). This bonus is lost on Rebirth.
===Backgrounds, Traits and Features===
* Race of Survivors Snake YaoGuai inherent Background: +100 Base Max Qi (BAddV) (and +5 Overcap Qi Sense)
* , Incarnated Sentient Spirit:
** Sentient Stone Spirit Modifier: +300 Base Max Qi (BAddV) (and +20 Qi Sense, +5 Overcap Qi Sense)
** Spirit Casted Body Feature: +20% Base Max Qi (BAddP) (and +10 Qi Sense, ** Affinity for Qi Sense)
* Dragon Blood Feature, once per game: 25% Base Max Qi (BAddP) upon completion of the Treasure of Venom Special Adventure.
* Pill Incarnated Sentient Spirit: the first Consumable with Medicine Resistance they eat will not generate any Medicine Resistance, allowing to eat it twice at full effect. Used on a T12 , this gives +103.68% Base Max Qi (BAddP).
* Bu Huagu (Male) Reincarnator's Evil Potential Feature: +50 Base Max Qi (BAddV) (and +10 Qi Sense)
* Zi	Feiyu (Male) Reincarnator's Persistent Feature: +40 Base Max Qi (BAddV)
=== Thought Shards ===
* Daydreaming: +40 Max Qi (AddV)
* Hearing Wind: +40 Max Qi (AddV)
== Generic ==
* with Golden Core/Divine State or higher Cultivation Level: base +500% Max Qi (AddP), +800% at Tier 4, +1,600% T12.
* "Scenic spot" Adventures, Fortuitous Encounter on the Snowfield (Story_Cold) and The Mortal Realm (Story_2): +2% Base Max Qi (BAddP), can be obtained twice per character. Currently bugged, see #Mods
* Breakthrough Success NPC Epiphany: +25 Base Max Qi (BAddV). Can be obtained once per breakthrough success but has numerous limitations, see page.
* Ancient Relic: +999 Max Qi (AddV), can be used for Golden Core Breakthrough
* Divine Law Formation Ancient Formation: +999 Max Qi (AddV), can be used for Golden Core Breakthrough
== Consumables ==
These are items giving permanent bonuses upon consumption. Unless their natural tier is 12, can be used on them, improving their efficiency, and they have a Medicine Resistance, limiting the efficiency of consecutive consumption. As such, the "99%+" column indicates how many items to consume to reach 99% Medicine Resistance (or 99% of the maximum theoretical medicine effect), and "<1% per" indicates at which quantity an additional consumption adds less than 1% medicine resistance - or in other words less than 1% of the maximum theoretical medicinal effect.

==Spirit Roots ==
When cultivating under the effects of a Spirit Root's Sympathy, some events can change a cultivator's Max Qi.
===Ripening ===
Beware as this event attracts waves of stronger than usual invaders and can be dangerous if you're unprepared.
For every inner with the Sympathy buff, receive +15 base Sympathy points. Then depending on bless/curse state:
*Blessed, receive a permanent buff if not already obtained (for that same spirit root, can be obtained for each different root):
**Every root: +25 Base Max Qi (BAddV)
**Every root: +10 Natural Resilience for Inner Injuries (AddV) for 600s (1 day)
**: +10% Luck (AddP)
**: +10% Perception (AddP)
**: +10% Charisma (AddP)
**: +10% Constitution (AddP)
**: +10% Intelligence (AddP)
*Cursed: -100 Base Max Qi (BAddV)
===Random Growth events===
These events can trigger once per day per growing spirit root (5% chance) and will affect all cultivators under their Sympathy, see page for details. 
Events lowering Max Qi can only trigger for Cursed Spirit Roots.
Spirit Root	Spirit Root	% 	- Flat Max Qi (AddV)

==Xiandao Cultivation==
===Cultivation Stage===
====Most Laws====
All Xiandao Laws besides receive the same generic bonuses, though 2 of the bonuses after golden core are received at different point depending on the law, and as such are named "First Achievement" and "Second Achievement".

====Six Paths Reincarnation Law====
For Six Path Cultivators, only the bonuses in the Reborn to Sinking and Sinking to Reincarnation are mentioned, the cultivator has no bonus during the Reincarnation to Reborn phase.

===Golden Core Breakthrough===
Each point of Golden Core score adds +0.015 Base Max Qi (BAddV). Depending on tier, the minimum amount of additional Max Qi can be found below. It has no cap (outside of the Max Qi cap itself), as golden core score isn't limited.
Tier	Min. GC Score	Min. Base Max Qi (BAddV)

===Inner Cauldron and Anima Conversion===
Both Inner Cauldron and Anima Conversion give flat Max Qi (AddV) through Stamina conversion. It is not recommended to try to make use of those bonuses before having a well-developped sect.
====Inner Cauldron====
Inner Cauldron is limited by its max size, which is equal to: 500 * Innate Potential + Inner Cauldron Limit Bonus. There is only one way to increase Inner Cauldron Limit Bonus, the Manual (from DLC), which adds +500 (AddV).
==== Anima Conversion====
Anima Conversion is unlimited but doesn't benefit from the multipliers Inner Cauldron has between 0-49% filling.
===Miracle===
