I'd still say its more important to have a well rounded base then focus on dex right away.
yes we have enough to buy infinite martial arts and we should when a fight is going to break out, but just discarding the versatility from knacks is stupid since this is not purely exalt setting, there are no lunars that can fight with us, no other solars or other exalted to help out. We are building up equivalents but we aren't there yet.
DxD also has its share of bull shit
Primary suspect Cao Cao and the rest of the longinus artefacts on par with exaltation shards.
They will not fight like normal exalt rules, and I believe that is where you are mistaken with your focus on dex.
as for the knacks, those were only examples of some, there are much better ones available but require we can only purchase them when we have the requisites available.
Hence why I want to have at least some of the prerequisites so that we can buy them if we need too rather than need them and not be able to get them
Even before this I would prioritize the truth shines through charm then infinite martial arts cause hey we are nearing our limit and when we reach it bad things are going to happen. I'd rather people notice something strange is going on with issei when it does then people just go along with it.
Not saying not to focus Dex so we can use it to beat the shit out of stuff, and not get hit but just purely focusing on it is a mistake. We have good parry values thanks to boosted gear don't discard that either.
To keep things short, Don't just assume focusing on EXALTED's god stat will make this quest a walk in the park. Alex has thrown us curve balls before but at least gave us hints as to what to focus on.
yes we can keep dex something we mainly focus on but I want us to at least reach the point where we can emergency purchase a dragon knack or two should the situation call for it. As well as charms from other trees besides martial arts, especially when the hero faction shows up.
At the very least include training wit's a bit so we can reach sage dragon sooner rather than later.
New vote
[X] organizing our territory
-[X] get together with Mittelt and Eiko to se to the youkai in the area and if anything needs our immediate attention.
[X] Sona's request
-[X] we hired Ninja for situations like this have them investigate the girl causing the disturbances in the area.
--[X] their objective is to find a place for us to confront her. they are not to confront her if without us emphasize that as Dragons we tend to draw powers to us and talking with her is our responsibility.
[X] Research
-[X] the Evil Pieces are almost done and once our Manse is done we will have a workshop to experiment in so finish them off.

[X] Training
-[X] finish the Training for Hypnotic Tongue Technique and Hastening Night's End
-[X] Dexterity, Wits, perception
Wits, and perception will help with finding kokabiel as well as get us closer to have all the prereqs for sage.
Never said that getting DEX or IAM would make things a walk in the park. I said it would increase our survivality, and I'm correct in this.
And you insist to get Knacks, why? The ones you posted suck. I'm going to read them more carefully, but I don't see a reason to get them. There are few things that Solars underperform, like flying and regen, those were good Knacks that we already got. If anything we would need stuff that kills with a touch, capacity to shapeshift to anything, psychic powers and other tricks that Solars usually can't get. More damage capacity isn't among them. Show me some worthwhile Knacks.
Changing my plan:
[X] Spending time with our harem
-[X] It's been a while since we have spent time with our lovers - now that the Phenex issue is done with, we can have time to get to know our lovers better. After all, a successful Harem King should be able to successfully balance his private and work time, right? Especially when you're a Solar.
--[X] Try to upgrade our relationship with the shinobi from employer to friend.
[X] Sona's request
-[X] We hired Ninja for situations like this. Have them investigate the girl causing the disturbances in the area.

-[X] Have Mittelt and Eiko to see to the local youkai community and if anything needs our immediate attention.
[X] Training
-[X] Finish the Training for Hypnotic Tongue Technique and Hastening Night's End
-[X] Dexterity
-[X] Specialty Boosted Gear 3 (Martial Arts)
-[X] You can finish them while in your mind-scape, after all, Bright-sensei had some kind of magical Bullshit that allows her to increase the flow of time within, right?
[X] More Issei's Adventures. If Alex is interested.
In bold my divergence with Kinglugia.
