Honkai: Star Rail (PC/PS5/PS4/Android/iOS) - Honkai Impact 3rd Extended Universe

[Kachiko]

Purple material drops are a lie at TB 60.

[Obsidian]

I just hit TL 60 tonight, can confirm.

[Karbuncle]

I'm only at TB50. Got one of my Character/Cards to 70, got a long road ahead to get even a single other card/Unit up. TB50 gear dungeons also only seem to give 1 Orange piece still?

Least we got that double-drop event going in Sim World for the next few days if I read it right...

[Obsidian]

I think from TL 50 to TL 60, Relic domains are one guaranteed 5* and 50% chance for a second 5*. At TL 60 they become two guaranteed 5*s, and at 65 I believe you get a 50% chance for a third 5*.

It's probably worth your time to do a few Relic domains just to get some usable sets together for your primary damage dealers, but I wouldn't hardcore farm for good substats until TL 60. You're better served just farming up the metric fuckton of Trace materials/Light Cone XP/Character XP stuff you're going to need when you hit 60.

[Kachiko]

I've only farmed for Selee, and I've used the three items to make your guaranteed stat gold pieces as well. The rest are in purples/blues of various +levels but have their sets.

at the end of the day it's a balancing act, you want enough gear to push your party forward and enable them to clear content easily without tilting the balance so that you're spending a ton of time upgrading one element of your build (relics) while ignoring others (levels, traces, etc.)

I agree with Kachiko in that farming one 5* set for your DPS is not a bad idea, especially if you use the special item to guarantee the right main stat. definitely would hold off on upgrading everyone else's relics until TL60+ though

[arus2001]

Purples are more than fine til 60. My RNG on Seele gear has been pretty shitty, though, and I'm maybe a couple days off from 60. Still, I've had the Echoes stages tell me I'm not strong enough, but have done them just fine. Not sure what metric they use to determine party strength, but Fire MC and Natasha is more than enough to sustain for current content.

[Gokulo]

The double drop event also includes double Trailblaze EXP, which is always nice

[Robertfb]

Finally got a 5 star after going 77/90 on silver wolf banner and beat the 50/50 and got my first copy of silver wolf! Makes up for pulling dupe jing yuan before her banner.

[Yuri-G]

GG! Silver Wolf is love <3

[Obsidian]

Silver Wolf has also really highlighted to me how strong Entanglement is as a break effect. If you can stack the hits up on whoever's Entangled you can really do some damage when it wears off.

[Obsidian]

Starting at like 7 pity, figured I would pull a few times to try and get Wukong or Pela eidolons and either get Luocha early or lose a 50/50 or something. Got Luocha on the second 10 pull, lol. Did a couple more and got 2 Pela Eidolons but no Wukong. Oh well.

[Karbuncle]

I didn't have anything saved up cause I'll let lady luck decide which unit I pull... got the new Imaginary lady in my first ~8 pulls. Wouldn't mind more copies of the other 4* on the banner TBH they're all heroes I wouldn't mind getting dupes of, so if I get any more pulls during his banner I'll probably dump some into him if only for the 4*.

[6souls]

Yanqing also has a story mission in this update. You can find it in front of the Palace of Astrum in the Central Starskiff Haven. It's a lead up for the next main storyline.

[Prothescar]

Went for 50/50 to shoot a shot. Didn't necessarily want Luocha and was gonna save 100% for Fu Xuan but hey.

80 pulls

1 Luocha
2 Pela
4 Yukong
2 Qingque
1 Herta

[Obsidian]

There's at least one more entire patch's worth of jades to get before the earliest Fu Xuan could come out anyway, lots of time to save.

At E4 Wukong I'd be real tempted to try to snipe one more so the freebie next patch would get me to E6, haha.

[Yuri-G]

oh fuck shit wukong is out? I might need to pull a little... although we get a free one coming too, so IDK

edit: YOINK 20 pulls and I got one. I'll stop there thx Kafka is coming

edit2: uhhh I had not looked at her kit before pulling her, she's actually kinda busted. maybe better than Tingyun, or at least on the same level. very nice

i might drop 50 bucks and try a couple more multis

[Obsidian]

I did a couple more 10 pulls trying to snag a Wukong, only got more Pelas and a Qinnque Eidolon. I'm just gonna surrender for now, I'm at like 60 pity now and I really don't want Luocha Eidolons.

oh nice, i pulled her in a few single pulls and didn't think much of checking her out, i'm still trying to get my main team to 80 and get Silver Wolf to 80.
