Hmm. You know, this makes me want to experiment with my Gorou. He's still level 1, with no upgraded talents.

See how long it takes to get his talents maxed (excluding crowns), and keep track of how much resin I use for it.

Of course, do I include exp resin into that calculation or make it separate? Gah, too much to figure out right now.

You can always use the alchemy table to turn green books in to blue, and blue books into purple, and purple into gold.

I think that's the order, at any rate. Much easier to get Green/Blue books than it is to get Purple/Gold.

@Xiao

I can't say much about my luck on banners. I know for fact that I got lucky on Klee, Kazuha, and Kokomi- Getting Kaz within 20 pulls and Kokomi on the first 5. Klee was my 50th or so pull-, but the others were a little bit of a struggle. I nearly ran out on available time for Tartaglia and Albedo.

I pulled Klee because I adored her and it's fun to throw the her tiny Jumpy Dumpties around, even if they are near impossible to aim when you have an enemy right next to you (still adore her, I just don't get chances to use her much. She's fully kit out, too). Kazuha was because I loved his play style and it's far too versatile for me to ignore, and Kokomi was literally a "10-pull limit birthday pull on a dare" since I don't really use Healers aside from Qiqi (her debut banner started 9/21/21, it was too much of a golden opportunity to pass up on).

And yeah, I have a few characters like that- I think we all do. I only use poor Ayaka to bridge and help my co-op teammates cross water quickly. Half the reason I don't use her is because of material grinding. The other half is because I keep sprinting and messing with myself (part of the reason I hope to never pull Mona- what a waste on me).

Then there's Diluc, who I haven't used except twice when I didn't yet have Klee. He's level 70, which is strange since I don't recall leveling him at all.

I guess I understand the Windtrace thing.

I'm having fun with Windtrace, too. Some of the people are very kind and will show you around, despite being the hunter. Other times, you get people pissed they got caught in five seconds or hunters upset that someone decided to climb to a roof to hide. I kind of hope that MHY makes a permanent version of Windtrace for us.

I always feel bad when I find everyone in under 30 seconds because they all grouped together. Like... there's no fun when the round's over so quickly. I didn't even mean to trigger all three!

As a rebel.. I feel you. I tend to be the very first to be found also.

I pulled at 90+ at got Keqing. Hiss, I don't mean to sound rude, but I really dislike her play style. Each of the trials I've used her in have been less than satisfactory. Oh well, her weird teleport thing should be fun to try and learn for exploration.

I think Xiao may be the second banner I pull on where I don't get the designated 5* (first being the previous Zhongli banner, where I had first joined in the last 5 days of). At least, if I understand the pull system right, I now have a guaranteed banner 5* on my next 90+ pulls. But, do I aim for Zhongli or wait...?

Windtrace is actually more fun than I expected. That said, I can't help but wonder what's goes through the heads of some people. I found one person just holding still on a mountain. Not moving or anything. I let them know that they might want to change positions and hide, and left once I got a response. Came back a minute later and won the round because they were the last one I needed to catch and they were still there, just jumping in place.

Oof. Yeah, I know the feeling. I wish I could buy the Welkin moon a little more than the twice I have, but since lockdown happened last year (year before? I can't keep track anymore) I lost a job and then family emergencies popped up out of the blueworks and decided to just about gut me in everyway except physically.

I've got Kazhuha and Qiqi built, but their talents are at 8 across the board since talents are a pain to level up once you get to the gold books + boss materials. My Tartaglia is 'built' with the exception that his talents are 5/4/4 (and he's hitting for 1k+ plus damage consistently) and my Albedo can deal upwards of 1k damage (6/8/7) when he uses his skills since I have him stuffed full of DEF.

That's my usual team build. I swap out Albedo depending on whatever element or weapon I need.

Otherwise, I have tons of level 90/80's to build (Xingqiu/Sayu need a dedicated weapon and talents greater than 4/4/4) and far, far more level 50's and below. I just don't have the motivation to work on them, hence why it's taken me more than a month to just work on Chongyun (that, and non-crop ascension materials are a pain to farm). He was a C2 when the Shenhe-Xiao banner started. He's now C6 since I started pulling for Xiao- which only cemented that fact that I should finish building him.

I also have some level 90's that I wish I could use more often, like Klee. She's 'fully built' at 7/5/4 (still need to finish the talents), but I never use her since she's so hard to control. She's a power hitter, though, and I wish I could use her without dying in three seconds. I used to be able to use her without problems, but now... it's like everything not only sends Klee flying off cliffs, but also two-hit kills her despite her 1.2k defense and 20k health.

You don't realize the kind of time you have to put into your characters until you spend over a month trying to get a single character to level 90, with level 9 talents (crowns will forever be the bane of me. I have 11, and none of my characters can use one yet!) and half-way decent artifacts, just so you can hopefully use them in combat and not die to a stray hilichurl arrow.

I made a chart just to keep track of which characters talents I can focus on for the day... then discovered that I was trying to finish maxing both Kazuha and Chongyun, who use the same Diligence set of talent books, and I haven't even gotten Chongyun to level 90 yet.

Oof.

Congrats on getting your namesake!

I'm at pull 70+ and still Zilch on him.

Good luck to everyone on their pulls!

Really? I did them in 1-2-3-4 order, and I only needed two teams.

Kazuha, Tartaglia, Qiqi, Albedo.
Xingqiu, Chongyun, Sayu, Yunjin.

I was able to alternate between these two without problems.

Gratz on the gold. I was lucky to get silver on most of them using the normal multiplier. I keep running out of time when I try to use the 2x multiplier.

As for Enkanomiya, yeah. You have to get through the questline until you get to the central tower and get a certain item before the majority of the puzzles become solvable. As said, the cutscene gets annoying after the tenth time.

Yeah. To use the characters you used in Trial 1, you need to complete Trial 2 with a different set of characters. You don't get the potions back, however. Meaning the potions you used in trial 1 won't be available to you in trial 2, 3, or 4. (Not sure how the reset thing would work on them, but it sounds like it would give them back if you reset the trial.)

To claim the primogem rewards, you have to get at least a silver rating on all 4 trials "without resetting" (which means if you complete the trial with a bronze medal, you're kind of out of luck, it seems. So exit out once you notice the silver fading away if you want those primo rewards). Unless MHY changes it or rewords the requirement for better understanding.

I foresee many people yelling MHY about this since it's only possible if you have two sets of kitted out people (artifacts, weapons, talents...). Or, you know, really OP artifacts and weapons and are willing to play hot-potato with them to other characters. I wouldn't have minded a slightly tighter time limit if it meant I could use the same characters over and over again.

Although, it's kind of like the two teams you set up for Spiral Abyss, I think I'd stick with Spiral Abyss.

I had hopes that the other domains that would unlock would have a lesser restriction, but... nope. No luck.

For those those who completed the new story quest:
Show hidden content
Sadly, there's no achievement for getting to the top of the new Jade Chamber. It is pretty to look at, though.


Otherwise, who has tried out the new event with all the new potions? Please tell me I misunderstood the whole 'character cooldown' thing. Because if so, that's BS. Guess I got to play artifact/weapon hot-potato again.

So, I just want to warn people about the new area, Enkanomiya.

While hilarious to push your enemies off cliffs and mess with their pathfinding to make them take the leap of faith, it's actually possible to get yourself kind of stuck and needing to relog to reset things because, for some strange reason, teleporting to force a reset didn't work.

Please take this as a PSA from someone who had to log out and back in because they got a Lawachurl stuck on a tiny edge and couldn't reach it because the ledge was too small for even their tiny Qiqi to stand on.

Please be careful to not get yourself stuck as I did. While there is humor in it, this isn't the first time this has happened to me.

Wait, wait wait wait. What? They're in Wolvendom? I spent a good fifteen minutes looking for them and found zilch before I realized that maybe clown misunderstood. I guess I'm just blind. Welp, that's just great. I mean, I guess it makes sense story-wise. They're trying to expand their area, so to speak, and with them spreading out on each update, they kind of are.

Hey, Guri? You play on an American server? If so, I don't mind helping you fight the boss. I only fought him the once because I don't see a need to stockpile ascension materials I actively have no use for and was curious about the fight. The Wolflord isn't too hard to fight if you take it slow and keep a Geo character and a Bow user in your party. (I haven't tried this solo with the Gorou since I got him just yesterday, but I'll let build him up and see how it goes.)

Use the Bow to attack the Wolflord in the air, and use Geo attacks when he shields. Otherwise, you can 'dash through' his beam attack to avoid getting hit, and the tornado can be outrun if you're using a tall character or Sayu's roll. The hardest part is predicting where he's going to slide to next, getting hit, and then having the wolflord spawn his tornado right on top of you.

(I might be a little salty about that last one. I lost to him like, eight times due to that before I figured out his pattern.)

@clown -- Not sure what you mean. Riftwolves are in Wolvendom now? Where? I know it's kind of implied that the 'wrong wolves' that get mentioned in Razor's story quest are the Riftwolves, but I thought they were driven out / unable to settle in because of Andrius? I'm refering to the Golden Wolflord on Tsurumi Island.

@CjNazzy -- Good luck to you too!

Yeah, Yun Jin is starting to grow on me. I enjoy watching her twirl around and kick back enemies. Sadly, I've only fought the Golden Wolflord once, so I can't really get her past level 50. If she's DEF based like Albdeo, I might try her out seriously with his artifacts. Otherwise, I'm not sure what I'll do with her.

The new islands have a fun new mechanism that took me a little to get used to, although I hope that MHY adds a small QoL feature that lets us skip the cutscene every time it's used. It's not long, not by any means of the word, but it does get repetitive and something of an eye sore.

As for catching the manta way... I don't think you can? Or, at least, it might take multiple nets? I hit it with one, and got three energy particles from it and it 'rushed away' without fading until a small time later.

Good luck on getting Ganyu!

(I wish to apologize for a statement I made in my last post. I pulled on standard banner after posting and got one General Puppy and one Unlucky Boi within five pulls of each other. While I think this means I'm not getting my Xiao, I can't really complain.)

Has anyone checked their teapots recently? You can now buy an item that lets you change the ambient music. There's also the new co-op boards for races and such.

If anyone needs helping finding something or getting to something in the new area, let me know. If in American servers, I can hop over to show you where/how to get (my account on the European servers still needs to watch a dragon fall from the sky and is absolutely useless right now). If not, I apologize if the pictures I take may be slightly off.

The wishes are screwing with me. Of my 57 pulls for Xiao, I got:

2x Ningguang (a single 10-pull away from each other, now C5)

2x Chongun (in the same pull, also C5 now)

2x Yun Jin (which is hilarious, because the other banners so far have always refused to give me the new accompanying 4*, but I think I kinda like this lady. She seems fun)

2x Farvonius Lance (My unused Xiangling now has a hefty R5 spear she doesn't use)

...

Which is great luck for the 4 stars, except I pulled a few extra times on the Albedo banner without meaning and racked up an additional three 4* weapons. Which means I should be around pull 90 if I understand the wish system right, and still no 5 star. Good grief, I hope I get Xiao with the fates the events are supposed to give us.

Shenhe / Xiao , and then Zhongli / Ganyu.

I'm so happy, I can possibly get Xiao AND Zhongli, but... I currently have about 45 wishes saved for the both of them, excluding any primogems and fates we can get in the new events.

I don't even know if I have a guaranteed pull, so I guess it's a good thing I want Xiao a bit more than I want Zhongli.
