Manifesting Mandate

**Manifesting Mandate** is a Secret that can appear on the World Map. It is one of the main sources of getting additional Laws in the early game. It can also be used to farm Eureka Pill.

## Derivative Calculation

Sometimes it will appear on its own, but this is slow. A more reliable way to get it is to cast the Derivative Calculation Miracle (costs 10 Lifespan) to trigger a Secret, repeatedly, until you get Manifesting Mandate.

## Options

When you send a Cultivator to Adventure to the Manifesting Mandate, you will have the option to:

1. Try taking the law by force
2. Accept it as fitting with your teachings

### Take by Force

A Primordial Spirit Cultivator has a 1 in 2 chanceof taking it by force.

* Succeeding in taking by force obtains the Law, as well as gaining 200 Reputation and an Eureka Pill.
* Failing to take by force does not obtain the law, immediately terminates the Secret, as well as gaining 100 Reputation.

A Cultivator below Primordial Spirit Cultivation State fails, does not obtain the law, and immediately terminates the Secret. The cultivator will get hurt and the Sect loses 300 Reputation.

### Accept Teachings

Accepting the Law is influenced by the Law Match that the Cultivator would have with it, so it's easiest to send a Cultivator who has high Attributes. The Law Match must be equal or greater than 100% in order to successfully accept teachings. Failing to Accept Teachings does not terminate the Secret, and another Cultivator with a better Law Match can be sent instead. It is possible to equip or consume items which increase the Five Attributes in order to succeed in the check.

In case the law is obtained, an Eureka Pill is also received.

The following should fulfill all Law attribute matches at the same time, giving 100% or higher:

It's possible to lower those requirements with elemental Law Matching Bonus. It is also possible to raise the Five Attributes, for example with an Heavensent Talisman.

Alternatively, one can send a fast Cultivator to view the Secret, observe which Law is in there, attempt to Accept Teachings (failure has no negative consequences), and then send a second Cultivator which matches that Law in particular.

## Eureka pill farming

Even once the law has already been obtained, the Eureka Pill reward is still available, be it for Primordial Spirit cultivators or 100% match ones.

it is possible to keep triggering Manifesting Mandate with Derivative Calculation in order to use it as a somewhat reliable Eureka Pill source.

## Detailed farming and requirements

For efficient farming, a cultivator with at least 100% Law Match for the relevant Laws is needed. To accomplish that, it's important to understand what Laws are relevant. Manifesting Mandate is the name of multiple events, the currently functional (appearing in vanilla) events contain:

* `Secrets_Gong2` - Myriad Artifact Law
* `Secrets_Gong3` - Seven-Slaughtering Sword
* `Secrets_Gong4` - Jade Purity Immortal Law
* `Secrets_Gong5` - Heaven Stealing Law
* `Secrets_Gong6` - Primordial Alchemy Law
* `Secrets_Gong7` - Emotion Severing Law

### Alternate breakpoints

With Ingenuity Essence, which provides an additional 25% to all 6 Elements, the previously mentioned spread can be taken even lower. A safe threshold with just Ingenuity Essence is reached at:

 Ingenuity Essence + Facing West (Metal)
 Ingenuity Essence + All Facing

With both Ingenuity Essence and the relevant Yaoguai Shard, the only difficulty involved is getting enough Attributes for Jade Purity Immortal Law. With all other Laws, the combination of 25%+30% results in a 55% (Element) Law Matching Bonus. Since it's capped at 50% on the lower end, that combination results in 105% Match for all Elemental Laws.
