@Angelus99 It's poorly worded, it's not the number of pills made, it's the number of times the cauldron has been used. Check the alchemy number in your experiences tab, that's the number that needs to be above or equal to 10,20,30, etc.

It's therefore irrelevant how many alchemy multipliers you've stacked, you need to play the mini game X times to get to the next stage.

Is the promotion system working for others?
Im stuck at Novice Alchemist. Ive got more than 100 alchemy and am 100% sure that made so many more than the required 50 pills.
Been moving around the map hoping to get the event, but nuthing so far.
Any help would be appreciated.

Are you meant to get transcendent level recipes from the apprentice alchemist rank?

I was planning to change the requirement from "created elixirs" to "Alchemy stat", but I think it would be more difficult, especially to play in the more difficult modes, so for now I won't touch this mod.

Cambell, I tested it here and only herb boost doesn't work properly, in fact it never worked correctly and it's the mod creator's own problem, the "tile range" function doesn't work as it should.
When you create the required amount of elixirs, you must walk at least one step on the map to activate the trigger. I can't improve this because it's something about the game itself and the mod creator that prevents activating the trigger immediately.
Regarding the breakthrough, it only prevents you from advancing to the middle stage, thus leaving you stuck in the initial stage until you rise to the next alchemist rank.

Seems to not be functioning correctly. Going from Apprentice to Novice took 14. to trigger upgrade
Currently I've done another 33 since and no upgrade to Intermediate. Secondarily it didn't limit my breakthrough so I was able to get to Golden Core regardless.
Third, the herb boost seems to have had a strange impact on the herb patches not appearing. Thought it might just be the first area but since the start of the game I've found maybe 3 herb patches and I've just gotten to golden core

oh ok! thank you for the answer! so prompt. :) having fun with it, so far.

@sdupuis In mod creator there is an option to count whenever a pill is crafted, regardless of its type. In other words, what is counted is the crafting process.

do repeats of the same pill/elixir count towards your total? like can you craft the same thing over and over again, and have that count to your total?

Yep it's working, thx for the info spend the whole night searching for it looking for the problem :3

batikano, If I'm not mistaken, you need to spend 2000 spirit stones, leave the city and enter again. It's something that sooner or later you would do, that's why I didn't make it explicit. I would have liked to activate the continuation of the plot as soon as the spirit stones were spent, but at the time there was no way to do this through the editor.

hey i am completely lost, i found the old book but i am stuck there, what should i do ? i went to a market but nothing is happening, is there a specific item that i should buy ? i can't find the destiny alchemy path on destiny (nature) either

bug : exp become minus - can't breakthrough bottle neck

nvm I found them in the files and added the recipes manually :D

awhhh that's too bad, I hope you get time to play soon :3 btw is there a way to get the pills without the destiny? the pills are fun and great but the whole growing stats thing kinda ruins slow burn play.

I made the mod in early access, I think there was an update for the mod creator, probably some things must have changed in the game and affected the mod. I've been really busy the last few months and I haven't even played the game after its official release.

hmmm.... I'm somehow able to go to goldencore even though it says I'm limited to qi condensation? :o I managed to get to golden core despite being a novice alchemist.

Fixed itself, is it 30 in the stage? Not total? If so, that explains the confusion. Pill tracker would still be amazing, just to remove confusion.

Having the same problem as Sob below.

I'm confident I've crafted over 30 pills, but I'ms tuck at intermediate alchemist looking at the book, and novice looking at my destinies.

Stuck in Early Golden Core stage & can't breakthrough.

A pill tracker in the book would be nice, if that was at all possible.

Probably not, what can happen is the stat value stops rising or the game incorrectly displays the value. The second case rarely happens, the information takes up space in the computer's physical memory, so its maximum value is limited, but if the value is in double or float this can happen, but I believe that this game uses 2 bytes.

Every month increases the following stats by 1%:
Atk, Def, Max Vitality, Max Energy, max Focus, Max Stamina, Max Health, Max Tao Power, Max Mood, Insight, Luck, Agility, Travel Speed, Crit, Crit Rate, Physical RES, Deviation RES, Knowledge.

isnt the game limit Insight, Luck etc will the game crash after you play a little longer?

I'm stuck at Golden Core(IV) and despite spending literally hours crafting elixirs I can't seem to be able to break into middle stage, similar to what Yuki described.

Can you confirm if it is necessary to craft the required number of pills OR craft the required number of times (regardless of yield amount)? Because if it is the latter (since I made more than 1000 elixirs and still cant breakthrough), then you really need to scale down on the numbers for each proficiency level, otherwise the game turns into a very mundane loop of collecting herbs and crafting elixirs over and over, leaving very little time for the rest of the game.

DuskRavenX also mentioned this below, so if possible please consider greatly scaling down the number of times needed for each level or disconnect the alchemy advancement from realm mastery completely.

Great mod overall, GJ m8!

Aprentice Alchemist - Limits o player to Foundation(II)
Novice Alchemist - Limits o player to Qi Condensation(III)
Intermediate Alchemist - Limits o player to Golden Core(IV)
Advanced Alchemist - Limits o player to Origin Spirit(V)
Master Alchemist - Limits o player to Nascent Soul(VI)
Alchemist King - Limits o player to Soul Formation(VII)
Alchemist Emperor - Limits o player to Enlightenment(VIII)
Saint Alchemist - Limits o player to Reborn(IX)

Is this mod suppose to stop you from moving up a cultivation at all? im stuck at apprentice Alchemist, but im also in Qi Condensation and it wont allow me to breakthrough early into middle. and i have been making loads of pills to try up my alchemist but its not working.

yeah this would make grinding sect leader more like in the manwhas if we could transfer SpShards into the sect from our pockets

The main motivation for being an alchemist is money. There is no poor alchemist, what exists is an incompetent alchemist.

were supposed to make pills that many times? is it cumulative? if not thats kinda nutty, especially with how much it will give you if you're good at it. Free money ig

It is possible, but the difficulty to move up in rank would be almost none, this would make alchemy again just a complement and not the main path.

Would it be possible to change the requirements to rank up and tie it to an examination quest instead? Where you have to turn in a certain amount of specific pills instead. Or perhaps make a difficult to make pill that you have to turn in instead/

I feel like hitting the craft item several hundred times especially in the later stages is too restrictive as the amount of pills is disproportionate to how many times you'll hit craft.

"Every month increases the following stats by 1%:"... Holy sh....

You're locked in a certain realm until you craft enough pills.

Pretty sure this mod may be the one that broke my game, with the constant monthly influx, it ended up eventually making a weird glitch, probably in conflict with another mod, where I couldnt cultivate anymore. Or well, I could, but it wouldnt do anything because it says Im already maxed, even though Im not. Wont let me cultivate in my sects, had to go out my way to find cultivation spots in the world, and that worked until Golden stage, where even that stopped giving me anything.

Thank you so much!

First you need to have 50 points in the alchemy statistic, then just enter any tavern that will start the quest.

Hi! I just wanted to know is the Alchemy Path destiny available at the start of the game? I have not been able to choose that destiny despite re-rolling or will I be able to get that destiny as I progress through the game?
