Beggar's Sect is one of the eleven Great Schools in Age of Wushu.
The Beggar's Sect is a vast organization known for upholding justice and aiding the oppressed. They possess an extensive intelligence network due to their widespread presence.
History[]
The Beggar's Sect is famed for its role in defending the nation, rallying its members to repel foreign invasions with unwavering loyalty. Anyone who swears allegiance—regardless of background—may join, which has created a wide variety of fighting styles within the sect.
The chief leads with the Dog Beating Staff, a revered symbol of authority that guides the sect's thousands of disciples. Under this leadership, members train together and coordinate their efforts in times of peace and war. Their signature martial art, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, represents the sect's peak combat skill. Only the most dedicated practitioners achieve mastery, earning respect as the sect's finest warriors.
Beyond their fighting prowess, the Beggar's Sect maintains an extensive network of scouts and messengers. Disciples stationed in towns and along trade routes gather intelligence, ensuring the sect stays informed and prepared for any threat.
Joining Beggar's Sect[]
To join the Beggar's Sect, the player must speak with the Beggar's Sect School Guide located in Beggar's Sect.
Requirements[]
- Player must be Vagrant.
- Player must have learned the Beggar Life Skill.
- Players who have previously betrayed the Beggar's Sect are prohibited from rejoining the school for 30 days.
Rules[]
| Rule | DP |
|---|---|
| Don't kill Beggar's Sect players. | +40 points |
| Don't break players out of jail. | +30 points |
| Don't raid Guild Escorts. | +20 points |
| Don't kill excessively (infamy > 200) | +20 points |
| Don't sell kidnapped players. | +10 points |
The school enforces a set of rules for their disciples. Violating school rules results in the accumulation of Discipline Points (DP). Players can reduce their Discipline Points by repenting at Beggar's Sect.
If a player accumulates more than 100 Discipline Points and enters the school scene, a punishing cutscene is triggered. After the cutscene, the player receives a damage-reducing debuff and their Discipline Points are reset to 100.
The strength and duration of the debuff depends on the number of points the player accumulated. The debuff timer will not progress while the player is offline, and the debuffs can stack if the player is punished multiple times in succession.
