Most Efficient Taoist Starting Guide

## EXTREMELY IMPORTANT Reminders

* This is HARDCORE guide meaning that it will try to maximize profits in order to be as most efficient as possible.

* Beast Nuclei is EXTREMELY important for increasing Cultivation Base (the thing you use to upgrade your Cultivation Realm).

* DO NOT spend Spirit Jade unwisely as it is an EXTREMELY important currency in the game which can be used to unlocked many IMPORTANT features and/or help raise Stats/Cultivation Base quite substantially.

* The Perception Stat increases the rate you gain Cultivation Base every 5 seconds by half the amount of the perception. For instance, if one had 100 Perception, then you would gain 50 extra flat Cultivation Base every 5 seconds.
* The Absorption Stat increases the rate you gain Qi every 5 seconds which a one to one ratio. For instance, if you had 100 Absortion, you would gain an extra 100 Qi every 5 seconds.

* Perception is more useful than Absortion because Qi has a cap and has limited ,yet extremely useful, uses whereas Perception does not have one, hence its always providing you the bonus, also increasing your Cultivation Realm is EXTREMELY important to unlock more features that help you advance further into the game.

* Strenght is much more important than Dextery and Life Essence, these two are equal in importance, and Vital Energy comes in last place in your priorities. Strenght is quite useful because it will reduce the DMG you take and later be converted to Attack similar to Life Essence.

* You MUST watch all the possible ADS, they are free resources, if you have the "infinite loading loop", try clearing the data of the app then restarting: you will LOSE all your progress unless you have binded your account in which case you can simply log into your account to return to normal.

* You can obtain FREE Spirit Jades by watching the ADS in the Top-up section of the Market (max 8 per day) and randomly via watching the ADS that give Nochi Packs (Dweilling, the scroll outside, and at the Market at the top-right) or the ADS at the Spiritual Montain (place in Dwelling where you produce resources like food)..

## Character Creation

* Upon entering the game the first thing that will greet you is a dark screen with some backstory.

* Click to continue and be greeted by the character creator. You can slightly customize your character appearance, however, it does not matter much because you will be given a pill that enables you to change your appearance once more in game when you first make your character. Gender has no impact on the game except that when you gain clothes they are random and might not be usable for you.

* After customizing your character and hitting next you will be able to select a background. Each background has slightly different Stats. The bonus starting Stas are somewhat irrelevant as you'll soon have 100s in all of this attributes after your first couple of minutes into the game.

* However, Perception and Absortion are Stats that are the HARDEST to raise which provide an immediate bonus to increase your efficiency in the game.

* Furthermore, Fortune can't be much improved before later in the game.

* Nonetheless, the difference in stats is somewhat redundant, but Scholar is certainly the best choice, Orphan coming in second.

* Then, INPUT your character's name or generate a random one and start the game!

## Starting the game

* Your first priority is to increase your Cultivation Realm as soon as possible to unlock more features and on your first day its quite duable to reach the Soul Wandering Realm in order to explore automatically.

* To accomplish this, you will need to buy the Prajna Heavenly Book and Prajna Mantra each costing 1 Spirit Jade each. If possible also grab the Eight-Triagrams Heavenly Book which costs 10 Spirit Jade.

* Afterwards, you should use all the codes that net you free resources, checkout the codes page for them, this should be used for upgrading the Qi-Array then the Spiritual Mountain in Dwelling.

* Try to max as much the food level in the Spiritual Mountain in Dwelling, there is no perfect guide for managing the Spiritual Mountain yet, but increasing the food level will help you gather more resources in the long run.

* Then, Follow and complete the main story quests which provide extremely useful resources.

* Use the cultivation room near the Golden Core Cultication Realm so that it is more efficient: when you are in a higher Cultivation Realm, you generate more Cultivation Base every 5 seconds.

* Your first sect does not matter much, however, it is strongly recommended to join the The Valley of Fallen Blossoms in order to meet many companions that help you increase your Cultivation Base and because many of them can be ascended which they will help you when you ascend to Heaven.

* You might want to start at the Phoenix Pavillion, however; then went you are at Golden core you might just join the The Valley of Fallen Blossoms to meet the people then leave immediately to enter a tier 2 sect: The Afterglow Palace.

* It is recommended to not greet your master in the tier 1 sect and instead do it at the The Afterglow Palace for the contribution. The main story "makes" you greet the master but you can just decline the ad or exit the ad and still get the check for the main story.

* Joining The Afterglow Palace is MANDATORY because they have an ultimate skill which basically converts your strenght into attack, to get it you need to be a custodian which would require you to get 8500 contribution in total.

## Getting the hang of it

* Joining an Alliance is extremely beneficial in order to get bonus extra Stats and to get free Booze for brewing.

* Compete in order to get extra resources including Premium Booze, this is the best way to get Premium Booze.

* When you get to Ensoulment, you now want to use all your accumulated Beast Nuclei which if you're lucky with the Nochi Packs, you might have accumulated quite a bit.

* Go to the Beast Nuclei Shop and redeem as many Nascent Soul Experience Books as you can each costing 10 Beast Nuclei, you can read an unlimited amount of the same book.

* Each Nascent Soul Experience Book nets you 14.5 MILLION Cultivation Base: insane!

* This will enable you to pass through quite a lot of Cultivation Realms so prepare pills for the tribulations accordingly.

* You might want to purchase the Auto-Read in the Library in Dwelling, this will enable you to read a specific book repeately without having to manually activate it every time you finish reading a book.
