Plan

On Cai's route Dadao requires 3 support levels, renown level 7, and 2x Kothar Gar, with the earliest recruitment opportunity at Part I chapter 5.

  1. Part I, chapter 1

    Prioritise every available quest and Cai's route-specific Kindness Quests from the start of the route to bank renown towards level 7. unverified

    why: Satisfies the 7R renown component of Dadao's Cai-route gate.

  2. Part I, chapter 1

    Give Dadao a gift and share one meal, arena session or equivalent support activity with him each in-game week until his support reaches level 3. unverified

    why: Satisfies the 3S support component of Dadao's Cai-route gate, aimed at Dadao himself rather than a third party.

  3. Part I, chapter 1

    Fish up 2x Kothar Gar at low-current freshwater spots and hold them in the convoy for Dadao's recruitment. unverified

    why: Satisfies the 2x Kothar Gar component of Dadao's Cai-route gate.

    Fishing catch from low-current freshwater — not shop-sold, per planning-inputs.md Items table

What would sharpen this plan

  • no chapter/renown-level correspondence found for Cai's route, so the chapter at which 7R is reached cannot be stated
  • no chapter-to-free-time-week mapping and no support-points-per-action or points-per-rank values found, so the 3S start point is a pacing assumption only
  • no liked-gift data for Dadao, so all support steps are generic gifting/activity recommendations
  • Kothar Gar first-availability chapter, price and catch limit NOT FOUND
