Connection

Connection is a type of currency used in Trading with other Sects. 
==Gaining Connection==
*Successfully completing a Task from a Sect, which grants 2 Connection and also 200 Favor. These tasks generally involve giving the sect a rare item, such as an Elemental Fruit or a Morrow Pill. These tasks are generated every 2 weeks.
*Giving the Sect Leader of a Sect a liked item, which grants 1 Connection and also 200 Favor. Each item can only be gifted once, however you can assassinate the Sect Leader, which causes a new Sect Leader to be generated with new liked items. This can be done by entering a map after discovering their location outside their home sect and killing them.
*A sect may randomly ask for a rare item (popup window will mention that they will be "grateful"), which will grant 1 Connection and no additional Favor. 
*Completing the Paladin Order event by killing the cultist grants 2 Connection with Blue Lotus Temple 
*Visiting Blue Lotus Temple after unlocking the Thunderclap Cave Secret and carrying Painting of the Four Symbols grants 100 Connection every time the event triggers. 
*Constructing the Wonders Triple Purity Temple and Purple Cloud Palace grants 1 Connection with all Sects one time. 
==Losing Connection==
*Failing to complete a Task from a Sect, which loses 2 Connection and 200 Favor.
*Giving the Sect Leader a disliked item, which loses 1 Connection and also 200 Favor.
*A Golden Core Disciple rental (purchased from the Sect) being killed, which loses 5 Connection and also 200 Favor. 
*A Legacy Artifact rental (purchased from the Sect) being damaged or lost, which loses 5 Connection and also 200 Favor. 
*Persuading a Disciple from another Sect to join the Player SectXiaWorld.JobWalkerHelp.OnLeaveJob, XiaWorld.NpcLuaHelper.AddGongBySense or become a Shendao Core FollowerWnd_JianghuTalk.QuanhuaTalkAbout will lose Connection based on their Cultivation LevelXiaWorld.GameDefine.RobSchoolNpcRenqing, XiaWorld.GameDefine.RobSchoolNpcFavour.

In cases with no Connection loss (Qi Shaping and lower), no negative effects will occur. 
**Core Shaping: 1 Connection, Invader Power Level 8-10 and 150 Favor
**Golden Core: 3 Connection, Invader Power Level 11-13 and 200 Favor 
**Primordial Spirit: 5 Connection, Invader Power Level 14-16 and 300 Favor 
**Demigod: 10 Connection, Invader Power Level 17-20 and 500 Favor(not possible in-game, as there are no Sect NPC Demigods) 
==Paying with Connection==
Most sects charge not only spirit stone value, but also have a Connection price listed for their rare items. Each purchase of these rare items costs both trade value and Connection. If Connection is insufficient, the sect will refuse to sell you the items. 
Conquering a Sect removes the Connection price from all items, meaning that Connection is no longer required when buying rare items from the Sect.
