Gaming

Storyline / Purpose of the Mohist Sect

The video presents the Mohist Sect as a player faction you join and progress through by:

  • Completing main quest steps
  • Following sect rules
  • Producing research output that advances your rank

Key gameplay notes:

  • A rule that requires impersonating other sect members is expected to be removed later via the main storyline/patches.
  • Rank progression (especially reaching Rank 2) is tied directly to unlocking costumes.
  • Weekly research publication drives rewards.

How to Join the Mohist Sect (4 methods)

  1. Complete the main quest that leads to the Mohist Hill region — you’ll receive an invitation.
  2. Contribute to Construction Mode:
    • Place 1000 items in Construction Mode, or
    • Create 3 blueprints
  3. Be connected to existing Mohist members:
    • If you know someone in Mohist Rank 3+, they can invite their disciples to join.

(The summary lists three join methods; it also labels this section as “4 methods,” but provides only three distinct ways.)

Key Sect Rules (and how they play)

  • No bounty hunting: Mohist members can’t accept bounties to hunt other players.
  • Required disguise/impersonation: disguise/impersonation of members from other sects is done via a button in the sect menu.
  • Exposure mechanic:
    • Disguised players can be detected with Windsense.
    • If exposed, the opponent can knock you out and force you to craft Divinecraft upgrade items for 3 minutes.
    • Limit: each Mohist member can be knocked out once per day.
  • Note: impersonation restrictions are stated to be removed as the storyline progresses in future updates.

Weekly Research System (core progression mechanic)

Every week, Mohist members must submit a research paper that uses Research Points.

How Research Points are earned

Points come from actions including:

  • Getting knocked out
  • Crafting and gathering certain materials
  • Building

Publication threshold and rewards

  • If your paper reaches 750+ points, it is automatically published the following week and grants:
    • 10 Precept Values

Collaboration

  • You can invite co-authors
  • Each player can be invited up to 10 times per week
  • Co-authors receive 25% of the Research Points
  • Masters receive 25% of their disciples’ points

Ranking Up (Rank 2 unlocks costumes)

Requirements to reach Rank 2

  • Your weekly research paper must exceed 750 points.

How to boost Research Points

  • You can equip up to 4 Reference Books per week to increase Research Points.
  • Reference Books must be purchased from a specific map location (mentioned as the place where they can be bought).

Major point sources described:

  • Crafting a Divinecraft upgrade item: 200 points
    • Requires two Small Ratchets
    • Small Ratchets drop from monkeys in Mohist Hill with a low drop rate
    • The video warns this could lead to grind-heavy “daily monkey genocides”
  • Getting knocked out: 200 points
    • Suggested method:
      • Disguise as Silver Needle
      • Wait near the multiplayer clinic
      • Use Windsense to provoke overzealous doctors into hunting patients
  • Blueprint creation: 100 points each
  • Construction Mode placement + gathering materials such as:
    • magnetic ore
    • raw ore
    • timber

After hitting the threshold

  • Once your paper exceeds 750 points, you receive a follow-up quest next week to speak with Master Guan.

  • Master Guan offers three promotion paths:

    • Metallurgy
      • Collect 20 magnetic ore
    • Construction
      • Place 50 items in Construction Mode
    • Craftsmanship
      • Craft 2 Divinecraft upgrade items
      • Harder due to the low Small Ratchet drop rate

  • Then you:

    • Speak with Master Guan again to choose your Mohist master (either your selected master or your in-game master—both work)
    • Open the sect UI and choose “Apply for Promotion”

Mohist Sect Shop (highlight)

  • The first shop section is available even to non-members, and includes:
    • Discounted raw ore
    • Various materials
    • Divinecraft consumables
    • Inner Ways for the new gauntlet weapon (designed to help new players start the new martial art)
