I havent even finished the Stormterror stuff because wandering around Liyue has been distracting me. Theres so much to find. I also finally found an eagle and shot it with an arrow for that achievement. It took like 5 mins of spamming arrows

That took me like 20 minutes, it was even an eagle that just flew around in a circle too.

Tried to do the Wolf of the North challenge and got crushed trying it with a friend, don't know if that makes it harder. Does anyone know if these weekly bosses level up with your world level?

I believe they do. Wolf boss is pretty easy until like the last third of his health then becomes very hard.

Also if your only healer is barbara you get frozen with her heal out =(

The cubes are really annoying the first time you fight them.

You get the hang of it eventually. Protip: Noelle is extremely useful in it to avoid that annoying as fuck healing.

Use some good food for the wolf boss if you're still having trouble. The biggest challenge on the game is Spiral Abyss and it doesn't allow food. So where else are you going to use your best dishes?

The elemental bosses just gotta figure out their gimmick.

Ugh, I want a fire character that's not Amber. Xiangling is a reward for finishing 3-3 of Spiral Abyss, but I couldn't even unlock the second floor yet because I didn't kill stuff on floor one fast enough. Can't get good combo systems without good characters, and can't get good characters without a good combo system. =x

Making reasonable progress, though I'm not in any particular hurry. Mostly just trying to keep up with daily/weekly requirements for the battle pass while chipping away at all the other layers the game has.

In 7 days, the abyss is gonna reset, and I'll want to make it to at least 3-3 to get the xiangling. Dunno if she'll still be an option afterwards.

Got plenty of materials to farm for the handful of characters I want to focus on. I've been giving special attention to Noelle, and she's become quite the unkillable tank maid. Fischl for some support dps and Xiangling as a nice backup, although she might transition into a more active role once I beef her stats up some. Last slot is a bit of a wildcard, usually the main character. Such is the pain of being f2p without any 5* characters.

All that aside, I'm still just having loads of fun plopping into a random place and exploring for treasure/plants/rocks/statue collectable bits/ghost things/puzzles. Improving characters and advancing plot is all well and good, but there's a whole 2/7ths of a world to explore, and it's a pretty vast place that won't outstay its welcome anytime soon.

I know what one of them is, and can't get to it without more stamina to glide farther, but the other 2, I marked off on the interactive map and apparently don't have. I really don't want to check the whole freaking world again. I just went around once, but I shortcutted by marking anything that the descriptors made sound like I'd done already. =/

look at the descriptions on the interactive map and take note of any that say they're up high or in caves, and prioritize rechecking those

or just don't cuz you don't get a gigantic reward like for geoculus for getting them all lmao they'll end up on your map eventually

I can only open lightning heroes. I just need Keqing to have the whole set and I have zero other non-guaranteed heroes. (Well, I opened a second Barbara.) I'm at the point where I really need to start building a team, and learn to exploit elemental diversity, and I was kinda hoping not to have to use Amber and Kaeya to do it.

But hey, if you want to see a four-man electro team, I'm your guy.

razor+fischl+xiangling+ameno mc is one of the more meta setups, aided by the fact that those are three of the best 4* in the game (fischl is by far the best)

i was using almost the same team except jean instead of mc

you can use kaeya instead of xiangling but it's significantly lower damage

Water, wind, and fire will all be free options.
Water is important. Rank 20 can be gotten without much issue.

Eventually you'll get xiangling but she'll demand some notable leveling. Amber's kinda gonna have to be who sucks for a while but is with a semi useful aoe special and a light taunt delayed explosion.

I mean, I haven't looked up what the reward is, but I've stumbled upon a perpetually cloudy place in Liyue that suggests there's definitely a reward of sorts for getting all the geoculuses.

her best non gacha weapon is Crescent Pike (one of the crafted ones) that adds 20-40% atk damage to normal attacks. might sound low... but keep in mind that regular attacks are not 100% attack damage

https://i.gyazo.com/d15e39d907dc778f13e28e1b75280000.png

it adds a separate instance of damage on every hit, so at max refine with this spear she's doing 15.3%+40% four times in rapid succession on the fourth stage of her normal attacks. overall impact on dps at max refine is more than double damage, even at refine 0 it's a LOT of bonus damage

highly recommend everyone sends out all their expeditions on 20h getting ore for the crafted weapons because they're what you'll be using for most characters

Xiangling's my highest constellation character atm with the spiral abyss copy getting me the third unlock. Even if I didn't like her, that'd be enough reason to strongly consider her. Thankfully, she's plenty strong on her own.

Honestly, a 3* spear that has been refined is plenty good for her, but the craftable ones aren't too bad either. If you're lucky, the gacha will drop a Dragon's Bane in your lap, which is supposedly her best 4* weapon.

That's what I've been doing. Got a number of mining spots in addition. I've got Bennett who I've not touched as a character, but he's got a time discount on expeditions, so that's where he lives. Fischl does too, but she's too useful to use for that. I hear in the near future they'll be changing it so that you can still use the character while they're on expedition.

I had a 4-star spear sitting in my inventory that I couldn't use up until now. I need to dump a bunch of crap into upgrading it now. But yeah, I'm happy. Haven't hopped back into the game, but I'm looking forward to playing her. I mean, I was bitching for like 4 posts earlier that I needed a fire user and I specifically wanted Xiangling. So now I'm reasonably happy. Just need to acclimate to world level 2 now.

overall, the world difficulty doesnt seem to go up as much as your power does, if you're upgrading properly

i'm killing faster in early world level 3 than i was in late world level 0, easily. only enemies that don't die instantly are the fatui elites, who just don't exist in lower world levels

venti also trivializes everything not a boss now though

I've officially hit the resin barrier. Still got a solid chunk of Luyue to explore at rank 27, but I'm wishing I started actively using my resin sooner. I know I ran up to a couple of the bosses early on, got whooped badly, and said "nah, I'll come back for those later." I know now that was wrong, and I should have actually learned the fight. The cube bosses aren't really that hard once you know their moves. (Though the lightning one was impossible for me to finish off until I swapped members, and the earth one might have been the same if I didn't have a claymore user already present.)

Moral of the story, if you're still below rank 20, learn what resin is and what it actually does, and start putting it to use now before you get walled. You'll still get walled, but at least it won't be a roadblock to upgrading your characters and gear.

If you want to spend your resin on the rewards at the end of each run, yes. You only seem to get a little more than double the exp of a ley line blossom, though. The Alchemy Handbook has its own rewards, and some of the goals also give BP exp.

Sometimes I can't pick up clots, other times I can't deposits clots. I was off from work yesterday, so I completed everything except get 100 kills and finish under 3 minutes (got 3:01 a few times). The event has left me feeling 1) annoyed at the bugs and 2) underpowered. Even when not teamed up with a level 70 Diluc doing 10k+ damage, I still feel like the only thing I'm good for is carrying clots, and applying elemental statuses.

I've found the event finnicky (not picking the clots up correctly or getting them destroyed by accident) but haven't run into the bugs you've described. Maybe I'm just lucky. I do feel underpowered though. I bring my level 40 Xiangling but there's always at least one carry. I started prioritizing kills and think I'll reach 100 kills by the time I do my 20 (14 currently).
