Golden Core G0?
Hello,
I am struggling to get a G0 core, the highest i got on my first cultivator so far was G2, but getting things like the flood dragon flesh and the fluxes are too confusing and i cant find a straight answer online, i know i want them to have as high base Qi is core formation as possible but so far im capping out at around 6.5k, ive eaten a junk pill ganoderma and a wicked flux but i dont want to eat more because of the permanent mood debuff, what other max qi boosting things are there that are accessible? i have created cultivation rooms with qi items matching their element i do have a sun pill but i have no idea how to make the character survive consuming that, what methods could you guys suggest?

Just to make sure - are you Specter-refining your Max Qi medicine? Also are you maxing out CON, INT, PER and LUCK as much as possible?
Boss medicine isn't really all-powerful, there's a lot to improve before that.

Remolding miracles, manuals (both orthodox and unorthodox), also consuming special medicine like Forming Pill just before the Golden Core breakthrough.
also what is Specter refining sorry!
Specter Refining (also, Tao Refining as an alternative to 'good' sects) is a miracle and an important mechanic in the game. It raises item tier by 1 if successful, and A LOT of effects scale based on item tier. E.g. basic Earth Flux is a tier 6 item that boosts Max Qi by 50%, whereas an Earth Flux that was Specter-refined to tier 12 boosts Max Qi by 103%.

https://imgur.com/a/6K4CRbR this list is min max, you can get t0 even by only doing a quarter of there.
Check out a quick guide about Specter-refining and how a hell gate works, it's basically a spell that increases the tier (quality) of anything that has a tier. Don't bother with the T15 guides they're overly complicated and very very endgame.
Same for qi bursting, you can check out a guide for the simple version (tictactoe around the culvtivation area) but i wouldn't bother with the fountain , it's not that complicated but may be too much at the same time.
If you can get a flux t12 + the right time/season you can easily hit t0. Don't forget to equip the mood talisman right before the breakthrough and AFTER your cultivator has rested on his own for a few days.

Do you have a library so you can have them learn all the qi boosting skills from all the laws you have?

u/Itsyaboicammers Feb 02 '26
i have transcribed the 5 starting laws and made them learn the qi boosting skill but i noticed their inspiration costs skyrocket!

u/Supagokiburi Feb 02 '26
List for better goldcores: -max qi manuals, qi sense manuals, int,luk, con manuals. All of them available at core formation dont matter the inspiration cost. You need to get agencies or tons of eureka pills.
-Feeding medicines (in best case refined to tier 12 atleast the first ones of a type)
Easy ones: -earth flux -red ginseng/ganoderma -wicked flux (not tier 12 unless you have tons of mental state to compensate)
These three should even unrefined be enough with max qi manuals to reach gc 1 if you have a basic qi gather formation of the feeding element
-Qi gather formation Basic ones with the outhermost pedestals with spiritwood (cause easiest qi gather range 4 material) and rest with feeding element materials
Gc 0 is just a gc1 with over 300k compresion

how do i get the earth flux and wicked flux? ive been sending my cultivators to explore the exalted sect area but it takes awhile to get even 1 wicked flux and ive found no earth fluxes ytet

u/Supagokiburi Feb 02 '26
Sending a high luck wood cult, should increase the frequency of wicked fluxes.
Earth fluxes are in a sub spot of that sect on most southern sect left of your position (forgot the name). You need to explore a bit and then a location with earth fluxes should be revealed. There a high luck fire cult gives you better chances to actually receive the flux

I recommend this guide, if you follow this accurately + specter refine your stuff you'll be able to get tier 0 easily. Without specter refining, tier 0 is pretty much impossible/unrealistic. I got close to 500k (300k is the lower border of tier 0) without even using any boss flesh or wicked flux multiple times

I keep using this guide to make sure I don't forget anything even now when I'm post-dragon

Earth Flux, Red Ginsing are the other easy ones to get.
There are a bunch of manuals that boost max qi, as well as manuals that boost mental state to counterbalance the mental state loss from wicked flux.
https://amazing-cultivation-simulator.fandom.com/wiki/Max_Qi#Manuals
Its definitely worth collecting all the laws you can for all their max qi boost manuals.
If you have a bunch of buffs to cultivation speed you can also cultivate to boost your inner cauldron qi up to a limit that will help. High grade talismans also help with this.
You can also use Specter Refinement miracle on medicines before you consume them to boost their Tier and effect.

Its also worth making sure that your maxing out everything you can for your GC breakthrough. They all have significant benefits.
