So I'm talking to myself as I log back in, remembering, among other things, that I have enough gems to do a 10-pull. And for whatever I was musing over, I was anticipating revealing something to my imaginary audience with a flourish of, "Ka-ching! Or, perhaps, I should say...Keqing?"

And I thought myself absurdly clever and was patting myself on the back. Then I got into the game and pulled on the Childe banner, and got an orange. I am nowhere near pity, so I'm thinking, oh shit, oh shit, don't be Childe again, I don't need Childe again. Give me someone else...maybe...ka-ching!

I'm in the exact same situation nio, got the sword the first one and not sure what to get this time, debating another sword or the bow.

I also don't have a great person for the sword or the bow. I currently have the sword on qiqi cause i ahd nothing else but she doesnt really need mroe healing. I guess i could put it on mc but i never actually attack with them

Getting all my 5* units after I've already gotten deep into the leveling process is awkward. I broke away from MC to level Diluc, which I'm pretty sure was a sensible and correct option. But now I have two more that are forcing me to rethink my team. Using Fischl and Xiangling was always so obvious and brainless for such a long time since there really weren't other options. Now I dunno if I should try to take things in a different direction. I had thought that was what Diona might be good for -- any maybe she still is once I get her some artifacts -- but instead now I'm staring at Childe and Keqing, wondering if they're any good for me, but not wanting to invest resources if they aren't.

I mean, the worst that can happen is I can't instantly level everyone when I hit 50...in five entire levels...and the cost of going 80 to 90 is so prohibitive that I might not really want to, anyway. But I feel like I want artifacts for way too many people now since I don't want anyone I've taken to 70 to be using +0's and be unusable if I suddenly need them.

Maybe it's simply time to go "whaling" for artifacts. (And by that, I mean spending my moons.) I dunno if I'm up for that tonight, but I think I might go nuts tomorrow.

You should be able to right now. Is the event on your wheel thing, where you can choose to Wish, go to the map, your inventory, etc. The event should be the one at 9oclock.

My MC is low level... debating whether to give it to Kaeya or Xingqiu because they're in my spiral team 2

Black Sword is best for Keqing. Ive chosen to get it to Refine Lv 2.

Sacrificial Sword is best for Xingqui.

Decided to just do the quest. Turns out it was in an area I hadn't explored before, and the last Geoculus (not counting the extra one) was just sitting there. That then allowed me to complete the nine pillars quest, though I'm positive that one does not block multiplayer. Didn't know changing to a different active quest is a thing.

As for the event, I did two runs solo and barely finished the second. Did a third and final run in co-op, enemies were 30 levels lower, and it took 2:30. The last run got me to AR 45, so I'll do the ascension quest tomorrow and continue doing co-op for the event.

Suprisingly the third world boss is actually probably the hardest boss now, the wolf was the hardest pre-wl6 (in my experience at least)

I've suffered an embarrassing number of deaths to the third boss's first phase (I swear the indicator for one attack is off), but the latter phases feel surprisingly easy? Dunno if that's just me or >_>

I don't have trouble doing them solo, but I'll be happy to run with you if you need a hand. I haven't tried them co-op yet.

Guaranteed 5* for 90, which is why you're told to wait until AR45.

Out of the five domains, there was only one I was able to solo. The others all kicked my ass repeatedly until I gave up and accepted I'd need to play them in co-op. Which is totally not normally my thing. But I"ll be logging in right now if anyone wants to run some artifact domains. Ping me on discord if I don't answer.

tl;dr: you go from about 0.4 five-stars/run to 1.08

1) Daily commissions
2) Quests and opening treasure chests
3) Spiral Abyss (you can potentially get 600 gems/fortnight, though you're probably not strong enough yet)
4) Compensation for bugs and downtime.

4) is, somehow, by far the most profitable.

DC and I ran domains together for like 2 hours, going as fast as PS4 load times would allow. Not sure how many viable pieces I got, but I have plenty of fodder (and a decent supply of moons still remaining.)

That's very tough with Razor carry. That domain feels like the most awkward one for me to run since it feels like all my characters are either fire or electro. I can bring some pitiful support unit if someone else has a good carry, but unless I decide to work on Childe, I don't really have much to offer. I ran it a few times with people in co-op yesterday, and I went from one super mega easy clear on my first run to a long line of disappointments when people brought poor choices or we couldn't put together a viable team.

But I really do want to run that one for Diluc, so hopefully I can find some way to be useful.

Character level matters less compared to artifact level at a certain point (probably past 60?), so that's tricky to answer. That said, you can definitely start right now, and you get rewards for the lower levels. But only levels 9+ are repeatable.

At what point do you guys start investing in artifacts? Like I'm AR 29 right now and the artifacts I use are like between 4 and 8. I could level them more but most of the stuff is blue and purple and I'd heard levelling artifacts was hard so I kinda refrained from pumping too much resources in to them

Just invest a little bit into whatever your using. At least for your main dps.

It's not 100% efficient but you can later feed those artifacts into a 5* set for like 90% of the exp. Also you'll run into artifact space limit otherwise anyways

at least you aren't a diluc/klee main! they just die immediately in there

some of the domains at 45 feel like they pretty much force coop depending on your gear level and levelled characters if you don't wanna have a terrible time, and the fire set one is definitely one of them

Hmm. So this is what I was told when I started out and sort of accepted as gospel, but it looks like my iLvl20 Atk% helm and feather both contribute about the same amount of attack to my main DPS right now. My guess is that the feather still helps more at low levels? I do know that Atk% scales linearly (i.e., 100 base attack and two 50% buffs gives you 200 attack) and that it only applies to your base stats (which is your character's innate attack + weapon attack).

until you get your base stats up, you really have nothing to scale atk% off of, which is why plume is considered the first thing you should boost (like in your first week when you're wearing a mishmash of stuff)

you don't have a choice in what mainstat to have on plume anyways so other than levelling order, there's not much of a choice there regardless. might as well focus it when you get the most marginal value out of it

So team of Razor, Fischl, Qiqi, and Sucrose I am not sure what I want for Fischl. She is just there to boost Razor's regen and attack anything out of his reach, so I think focusing on her physical damage would be better? 2 piece Gladiator and 2 piece Bloodstained I'm thinking. But 2 piece thundering fury might be good too, but being middle ground between her physical and electro kit would suck.

hm okay, I'll try it after this event then.

Is there a good resource for finding where to get ascension material btw? I've got people I want to ascend, but I don't have the mats, and I'm not sure what the best guide for that is.
