oh is the bow recipe what that is for? I should do it, I've just been ignoring it. although it is giving me zelda: LA secret seashell vibes which is a nice nostalgic moment

at c0 raiden shogun with enough to trigger first pity.... I'm so tempted to try and go for C2 if I get C1. no reason to roll for quite some time anyway, kokomi banner is a complete bust. but I could also save up and get yae miko, thoma, gorou, etc. hrnnngh

[Kachiko]

None of which are coming any time soon, so if you don't want any re-run characters, gopher it I guess. I just haven't found much use to get constellations, for 5*s, once you get L9 talents.

[Obsidian]

Any benefits to continuing the mysterious shell hand in to open the 3 chests daily after I get my bow recipe?

Pretty sure the shells stop spawning once you've gotten the bow blueprint from it, but either way, no, no point to it afterward.

Yeah I thought it stopped spawning too, but I went to check yesterday and was able to pick up 3 to trade in again to open a chest with 2 apples lol
So I was thinking, if I can keep going and going . . . haha

But yeah a lot of sources online suggests it's useless after the recipe.

@Yuri-G: Yeah grab 3 from nearby the NPC each day (I had 4 before, online suggests some people can only find 2 sometimes) and do it daily for 7 days. https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Imp...diagram_found/ (prerequisite: need to complete Tatara Tales quest line first https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Imp..._npc_hanayama/)

You get flower seeds on 2nd?/3rd day (exchangeable to NPC in the thread, check it) and the recipe on the 7th

yeah and her C1 is not good at all, it's her C2 that matters. so really I'm just tempting myself into spending a potential fuckton of money on one constellation. it's the gacha itch man...

might save that pity, might see if I can win the 50/50 and grab Kokomi. if she does decent damage during her burst I could see using her. but it remains to be seen whether she's really any better than a 5* barbara

edit: I said screw it and got C1 Jean instead, that resolves the issue haha

oh that's quite involved haha it would have been a while before I stumbled on it myself. thanks!


edit: ok fuck moonfins these guys are complete fucking dicks lol. they are giving me the worst type of stardew flashbacks

[octopus]

The new abyss floor 11 is pretty cancer omg

I came to post this haha, jeez

The event rod also does marginally nothing

[Obsidian]

The new abyss floor 11 is pretty cancer omg

Floor 12 Chamber 1 second half if the worst part of the new Abyss. Those fucking Geo floaters will stagger lock the fuck out of you if you don't have a shield.

[Kanriel]

So saw the new weapon banner coming and decided to go for a 5* on the current one. As while the primordial sword would be awesome to have (since I recently got Jean, Ayaka and C1 Keqing) that catalyst is absolute dogshit for anything but maximum Barb/Kokomi healing throughput, which is entirely unnecessary everywhere except the new spiral floor 11. So I managed to snag Baal's weapon. Which now means I have Primordial spear on Xiao, Baal's polearm on Baal, and Catch moves to Zhong Li to replace the shit crafted ER polearm I had stuck on him, which is fucking great. Still need to full ascend Catch and of course the new weapon, though. But going to shift Zhong back into a burst DPS/support since Catch fully supports that.

I did do floor 11 and got all 9 stars. Took me a couple tries with some resets on 11-3 only (11-1 and 11-2 are 300s clears, which is cake), but I was also using my level 60 Jean with 4/4/4 talents as my 2nd team healer, another 20 levels/2 ascensions and talents on her would have made it a bit easier. But gonna agree with the guy above who said 12-1 is shit. I hit 6/9 on floor 12, and might go back to attempt all 9, but 12-1 is going to be a hard one there. Maybe bringing out Venti I can clear first half quickly and then remove him for the rest of the floor 3 stars.

[Obsidian]

Also I lied, F12 C2 is worse for me. Just could not settle on a good team comp for either side, and it took me like 45 minutes of retrying to get the second half done fast enough. Pairing cryo cicin mages with any kind of hydro enemy is such a dick move.

[Kanriel]

Yeah, I'm not certain I'd be able to clear 12-1 or 12-2 for 3*, but I think I was somewhat close with 12-2 despite not being setup for it. And then I didn't want to deal with resets and had a dead char going into 12-3 which meant I had no chance to 3* that, when original idea was to get a 3* there so I would never need to repeat it, whoops.

[octopus]

I was able to 3 star 12-1 and 2 star 12-2, but I can't figure out that mechanical array lol...

Edit: 3 starred 12-3 just now

[Yuri-G]

minor but touching spoiler I would never have discovered on my own, after finishing the 2.1 archon quest

Spoiler: show

after you finish the archon quest, all the vision-bearers who had their visions taken get them back, along with their memories

[octopus]

the more important thing is that you get quite a few Hero's Wits from talking to them!

[The Stig]

PSA: The blue target dummies have 20 HP I guess, or 30 (for one of the dailies)
I was unable to kill them with 1 shot on my level 1 Sara (17 damage)
Needed 2 shots (or a charged shot)

[Obsidian]

Scavenged basically every free primogem available in my world, got C2 Raiden after getting pity broken by Keqing again (C2 Keqing now... maybe I'll try the Raiden/Keqing/Sara/Kazuha team for shits and giggles). Had a 10 pull's worth left over, gambled on the weapon banner. My first 10 pull after getting a Mistsplitter, got an Engulfing Lightning. Hell yeah (after getting fucked twice by Keqing).

Time to just save save save for Eula and Yae.

[Tomiko]

(after getting fucked twice by Keqing)

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Congrats on the pulls!

[Kanriel]

Save for Eula? Is she on a rerun banner coming up? She wasn't even mentioned in any rumors I had seen so far.

[Obsidian]

Congrats on the pulls!

Would've much rathered C2 Mona/Jean or C1 Diluc. My Keqing is level 20, lol.

Save for Eula? Is she on a rerun banner coming up? She wasn't even mentioned in any rumors I had seen so far.

Don't think she's been rumoured but she'll get a rerun eventually and I want her C1. I've gotten pretty lucky recently and aside from Yae I don't have much interest in any of the new or rerun banners coming (or rumoured to be coming). I've also now exhausted pretty much all the primogems I can get for free aside from some random achievements until they add another island, so it's a good time for me to sit back and build out some of the characters I haven't used much yet instead of chasing more new ones. As of now the only 5* characters I don't have are Klee and Albedo. On the whole I've been really lucky with character banner 50/50s (a little less lucky on the Weapon Banners I did decide to gamble on), but I don't want to fall into the trap of chasing every new 5* they put out, and I'd like to save for constellations on some of the 5*s I already have and really like (Eula, Ayaka, maybe Ganyu C1 but ehhh). Getting to C2 Raiden was a huuuuge drain on my free resources and I'm not keen to spend a shitload on this game (although I do spend a little, mostly battle pass and welkin), so I find it helpful to set a saving goal that might be further out to take the pressure out of caving and spending for new stuff.

Edit: I've also got almost every 4* in the game at C6 now (Amber, Kaeya, Lisa, Yanfei, Rosaria, Bennett, and I don't even have Saiyu at all) so waiting a while means I can let the stock of 4*s I don't have build up instead of getting 5 starglitter for everything.

[Kanriel]

I have no idea what Yae will be like, so no idea if I want her. No idea what my plans for pulls are coming up. Was originally planning on saving for a potential Homa banner, but since I got Engulfing Lightning, have Primordial for Xiao, and Catch for Zhong Li, I don't think Homa would be that huge of an upgrade. An upgrade for sure, but not huge.

I got super lucky and got a c1 Jean on my first pull after getting Raiden Shogun, so my next 5* is the char banner, though probably going to take me 80 pulls to get. I think the main rumors are Childe and Hu Tao in 2.2? I don't have either, but don't really care for either, either. So I guess hopefully I'll actually control myself and save currency for 2.3, and maybe I'll get Yae. I'll probably need to take the next 2 months off new units anyway since I got Jean fresh (hit pity on standard banner during 2.1) and now she's C1, and got Raiden and her weapon, so I want to get those both leveled (short on books, and the resin costs, etc.) and talented up and that'll take a bit with me having to go back over artifacts too. Need to figure out what I'm doing with Keqing. She's C1, and sorta want her for a 2nd phys DPS (Eula being main one) but feel Black Sword is better for her there, and I gave Black Sword to Ayaka, who is also not 'complete' as she's at level 6ish talents and needs her final ascension. I have a r5 Lion's Roar that should work pretty solidly with Keqing and her C1, though, but want to fine-tune her artifacts around that. So I'm hoping to not care for new units for a good while, lol...
