Genshin Impact (PC/PS5/PS4/NSW/iOS) - Open-World Action RPG - 2020

[Yuri-G]

Feels a little bad, but never found the time to finish the TCG event this patch. I'm a little bummed to miss the primos, but the bow didn't look particularly useful and I really don't like the TCG in the first place. Also just been a busy couple of weeks. I think this is only the second event I've missed getting the primogems from.

tbh me too, I just didn't have the energy even for the non-TCG quests. the only one I did was the puzzle thing. it's a combination of burnout + HSR taking over. that will change soon, especially with Fontaine, but for now... meh

Looks like you need more cowbell.

But seriously, doesn't attack speed cap out at some point? Maybe you're fine?

haha yeah this is all just for memes, I don't think any atk speed over 60% is going to matter

Pretty sure Yae's weapon is nearly as good as his Bell anyway.

actually using Lost Prayer since I have it R5 and he's on the field for a long period of time so you get some benefit, plus he usually bursts at the end of his rotation so that gets a big fat bonus too. guess all those lost 50/50s are at least coming in handy now

Tried for a few Yae constellations so far I got:
Kirara x6
Keqing x1
Yae x1

The game dared to give me the fake catgirl after not showing up in years.

There's still another fake catgirl you can get when losing the 50/50!

which constellation is that for your yae?

[Gokulo]

Well, got my Kazuha. Of course I had to lose the 50/50 first and git Diluc, which caught me by surprise, as I was pretty sure he's non-existent in my universe, seeing as he wouldn't drop until now.
Also got Heizou and his C3, which is cool, because that's another character I wanted, although I forgot he was coming on this banner and didn't pre farm for him, when I saw he needs the beetles I just rolled my eyes, lol...

On a sadder note, I'm annoyed I don't have a better weapon for Kazuha. Right now I had to put Sacrificial Sword on him, as I've been killing bosses weekly ever since his leak and didn't event get a single sword billet to craft Iron Sting at least...

[Obsidian]

Not a single Northlander sword billet is pretty unlucky, but I think you can buy one from one from the sigil shop in Monstadt if you haven't already, or if you have a Midlander Sword Billet you can convert it to a Northlander billet at the alchemy table. I'm not sure if the Sumeru sigil shop sells billets, I haven't unlocked it yet... lol.

gg on kaz and first Diluc though! have fun farming the VV domain if you want to really max him out :D

[The Stig]

Iron Sting is good for him??!? That's easy then I got no other weapons to spare haha

[Obsidian]

Any sword with an Elemental Mastery main stat is good for him. Iron Sting is good, so is the Sapwood Blade if you'd rather craft that. The best 4* for him is probably the Xiphos's Moonlight from the weapon banner, but aside from that one there's really not much between the other 4* options with EM main stat.

Sadly I used up all the other sources other than bosses, lol

And I've been farming the VV domain like crazy too, had a manageable set ready for him. Thankfully that domain is easy to farm, no annoying monsters. But it did take me forever to drop EM circlet or goblet...

Watching Fontaine preview made me think it's an unfortunate area for me to be added when I'm already burned out with the game, since underwater gameplay is usually so annoying in games... But we'll see, maybe they'll make it bearable.

I started this game a few weeks ago (thanks, Star Rail...) and kind of overwhelmed with all the stuff to catch up on. I'm not sure if I should be pushing the main story, the side story stuff, collectables, etc. Should I just say screw it all and blitz main story to prepare for update? I'm pretty early into the reputation system and saw the list of gadgets and stuff to unlock and not sure what to focus on (Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma available and I have to do side quests to unlock bounties in Inazuma). I think I need some guidance to get my squirrel brain back on track, got distracted by the giant pyramid for a few days instead of getting to Sumeru.

I was thinking of Mondstadt to rank 6, Liyue to rank 3, Inazuma to 3, Sumeru to 3 which should probably distract me for a few more weeks.

Is there no way to mine faster other than to have pulled a claymore character? Because my pulls kinda suck so far. ><

[Kachiko]

If you wanted to do things by release, it would be Mondstat, Liyue, Dragonspine, Inazuma, Enkanomiya, Chasm, Sumeru Main, Sumeru Desert (Pyramids), Sumeru Desert (Sandstorm), Sumeru Desert Farakhkert (Latest Zone). I might recommend finishing an entire zone before moving on, as each has a ton of stuff to uncover, and some mats are only available in their respective lands. Archon quests drive the main story, so if you just want to catch up on that, then do those as they unlock, which is mostly adventure rank, early on. We're also about to get a temporary summer zone, which has been different each year and worth doing when it pops.

Mining is Claymore only really, though if you get Zhongli, his skill breaks up all mining nodes in range. Put Noelle to use.

[Obsidian]

I'd probably just work through the Archon Quests as you're able to and do the Character Quests for Adventure Rank XP when you get roadblocked. You want to open the new regions up sooner than later so you can collect the talent materials from those regions for the characters you want to use.

[Tomiko]

I would recommend doing the story to get access to Inazuma over everything else simply because of the materials you may need from there. Another benefit of focusing on the (overall) story first is getting access to weekly boss fights.

For exploration, I would prioritize Telepoints and Domains for easier travel. And don't worry about farming artifact domains until AR45.

There's also quite a few of us that still play. I don't mind helping if you catch me on and I'm not doing anything important.

I went through the thread from the beginning and made a list of everyone's UID that I found. Hopefully I didn't miss anyone that wants to be listed.

I deleted some people from my friendlist the other day since I was at the cap thanks to they way they handle Playstation, so if I deleted anyone here, it was because I didn't recognize your name and thought it was one of the randoms I accepted in game.

Some drip marketing from this morning:

[Kachiko]

Ya know, it may just finally be time to pick up Klee because that outfit is adorable and Fontain is still a ways away.

[Obsidian]

I'm gonna get the outfit in case I ever end up with her by accident, but every time I think "maybe I'll just get Klee" I do the trial for her and realize the error of my ways. She just feels so damn clunky.
