For newcomers to the Jianghu of the next station in Jianghu 2, every step in the early stages determines whether or not they will grow smoothly later on. For players without such experience, here are some tips that have been tested in practice. The next station Jianghu 2 beginner guide can help everyone get off to a smooth start and avoid pitfalls. If you're a complete beginner and don't know how to start upgrading your martial arts, this guide is a fairly necessary gameplay manual for you.
The choice of weapons is fundamental and an important part throughout the entire game process. Many players, after multiple restarts, have summarized a crucial experience: although the four types of weapons seem versatile, they actually have hidden nuances. For example, swords and staffs mainly focus on external kung fu, suitable for players who prefer close combat and overwhelming power. On the other hand, knives and fists emphasize internal kung fu cultivation, more fitting for those who seek deep internal strength and use clever force to defeat enemies. Therefore, at the beginning of entering the Jianghu, it's essential to clarify your preferred martial arts style, as this will directly affect your subsequent development path.
The point allocation strategy has been validated through countless predecessors' practices. Full sinew points can create an extreme external attack character. If you want to go the route of internal kung fu cultivation, full internal energy points will give you higher true qi values and incredibly thick internal energy. These two extreme point allocation methods can maximize the advantages of the character. Here, the choice of talents is the core of avoiding pitfalls at the beginning. Don't blindly follow so-called experts' advice to stack flashy but impractical attributes like fortune and wisdom.
In fact, the best talent configuration should be -2 positive 1, meaning two negative talents that reduce health paired with one positive talent that increases external attack, external defense, or internal attack, internal defense by 60 points. It's important to know that even with low fortune, you can still produce top-tier equipment, and wisdom can easily exceed 150+ through eating pills, reading books, and encountering rare events, so there's no need to over-invest resources at the beginning. There are many cases where incorrect talent choices lead to difficult survival, such as players being misled into choosing a bunch of negative talents and adding positive talents like fortune, wisdom, and 10% damage increase, resulting in frequent deaths and reloads in the newbie village.
When facing ordinary yellow-name NPCs, they can output 2000+ damage, while you only have 4000 HP and 700 external attack, leaving you powerless. You are forced to skip levels and steal treasure chests to survive. The core mechanism of the game revolves around "cultivation," which must always be kept in mind. Whether it's learning skills, enhancing attributes, unblocking meridians, or comprehending techniques, all depend on the accumulation of cultivation. The gap in cultivation will directly result in a huge difference in game difficulty. It's worth noting that cultivation cannot be obtained by grinding monsters, but money and insights can be produced infinitely through continuous battles.
The core of output lies in the acquisition and pairing of meridian terms. External attack characters should focus on increasing sinew attributes, paired with yang and rigid external attack techniques. Internal attack characters, on the other hand, need to stack internal energy, supplemented by yin and soft internal attack techniques. This way, you can achieve devastatingly high output, allowing you to challenge higher levels without relying on tricks like stealing treasure chests. For example, the same player's experience under different talent configurations is vastly different. In the first playthrough, due to an unfavorable combination of talents, they struggled for 20 hours in the newbie village with only 4000 HP and 700 external attack, often being killed and reloading when facing powerful enemies.
In the third playthrough, after adjusting to the recommended -2 health +1 positive output talent, they completed the newbie lightness skill side quest in just 2 hours. At this point, their HP had risen to over 7000, and with a third-level spear, they could deal 1200+ external attack damage, defeating sparring opponents in just a few seconds. This difference was already apparent before even leaving the newbie village, let alone the broader 30+ map areas and greater challenges later on. Another specific example to illustrate the importance of cultivation: when carrying multiple negative cultivation-reducing talents, a first-level cultivation book provides only +53 cultivation.
After switching to a cultivation-increasing talent, the same first-level book can provide 163 cultivation, a threefold difference. Considering that cultivation books are not easy to obtain and are mostly fixed rewards, this difference means that exploration time will be extended threefold. Based on these lessons, it is strongly recommended that new players adopt the -2 health +1 positive output talent configuration. With this setup, in just 2 hours, you can have nearly 7000 HP and 1200+ external attack, easily handling various challenges without needing to steal treasure chests. Even at the third level of difficulty, you can say goodbye to the pain of frequent reloads.
Additionally, there's a hidden benefit waiting to be discovered. Near the market at coordinates 1066.1478 in the newbie village, there is a well. Jumping down bravely, you'll find several small rooms. Entering the first room and opening the treasure chest will yield a precious golden robe, the Lingjin Jia裟, with attributes including +10 life recovery, +88 HP, +19 internal defense, and +32 true qi. Further exploration will lead you to the remains of a predecessor, where you can find the blue fist technique, Yao Guang Ancient Fist, and some green books scattered under the tree. Along the way, you'll also encounter a musical instrument device composed of many bells.
To leave this place, you need to turn at the dead end and return to the musical instrument according to the prompt. By striking the bells in the order of Jue, Yu, Wei, Shang, and Gong, you can obtain a lever to open the wall passage. After coming out, go to the post station at coordinates 1164, 1437 in the newbie village, and interact with the NPC named Yuzhe to activate the teleportation array, which can take you directly to any city. It is recommended to teleport to Lushan Academy and trigger the plot by pressing F key near the glowing big stone at coordinates 373.813. Choose to find the token instead of forcing your way in. The token is located about ten meters to the right at coordinates 359.783. Defeat the seven or eight disciples with low HP to automatically pick up the token. Return to the starting point and open the cave, where you'll find a library-like interior. The administrator of Wansong Academy on the second floor sells a large number of high-level books, including golden legendary quality manuals, which can accompany you until graduation. The only thing to note is that the prices are quite high, so it's advisable to accumulate money through grinding and completing tasks before making purchases.
Following the content of the above Jianghu 2 beginner guide, everyone will avoid the common detours that newbies often take, and in the world of Jianghu 2, they will be able to grow quickly from the initial stages. We hope that everyone who masters these techniques will soon become a great hero!
