If you reached lv6 and tree lv20 there is no point.
You'll hunt for more in 2.1 and 2.2, daily quests or events will very likely lead you towards a place where it becomes visible on minimap eventually

I'm 17/22 on the tree so I know there's 3 more I can get.

---

If you want some hints, iirc....
1. Middle island, explore the small islands to the south. Maybe there's one in the balethunder shipwreck to the east.
2. East Island, the very peak of the castle in Inazuma City, also underground in the cave below it. There's one in the islands to the east or northeast. Two can be visible at Sakura Tree.
3. West Island, in a group of islands to the north or a bit northwest

Did you get the tiny island one that requires you to look at the statues?

In addition:
West Island: There's one way up in the air that you probably won't show on the map if you're on the ground. To get it, go to the teleport on top of the mountain then glide northeastward towards the shore.

There's a website that has an interactive map and you can click on each Oculus point and it shows you where it is, then you can make it disappear when you collect it. I used that to get 20/22 (which I think is the current max) on the final statue.

Im just gonna wait for the compass. Not like I can go past lvl 6 anyway.

After much internal debate, I decided to pull for Ayaka on my secondary account and got her this morning. The first think that strikes me, since I don't really pull enough 5-stars to have it affect me much, is that I don't like the trend I'm seeing of players needing to farm two bosses to level up characters. It was bad enough with Yanfei and Hu Tao, because the Primo Geo at least dropped the correct gems once in awhile... but mech oceanid doesn't drop the right gems for Ayaka, period.

It's not a big deal to farm cryo regisvine, that boss takes less than a minute. The problem is in how much resin I'm going to have to spend farming to get Ayaka to max ascension. It's really annoying.

it's an issue that completely disappears if you do all events and fight 4 weekly bosses. We're getting a 5th one soon.

And just saying but PMA only drops geo, cryo

---

At least you can convert non-cryo gems into cryo gems at the alchemy table. I did that a few times since I have a billion unneeded electro gems.

I do all of the weekly bosses and events. The gems that the weekly bosses drop are completely random and getting what you need is inconsistent.

Primo Geo drops pyro gems, too, but it's inconsistent.

If you mean the one where you look at the kitsune to get rid of a barrier so you could get an electrogram to shoot yourself up then yes. If there's another one I'm not aware of it.

Pretty sure I've got all of these but I'll check the west island again.

Just fyi, the actual Matthew 16:4 is pretty ironic given your signature

"A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.' Jesus then left them and went away."

Giant whale Mecha?

If I hadn't already used all of the dust I had, sure. :)

My sig is actually a Xenosaga joke regarding a certain characters horrible explanation about something.

Spoilers:
So the main antagonistic force in Xenosaga is the Gnosis who can't be hurt unless you use this specific weapon which generates a field that forces them into a vulnerable state and it's equipped on the giant Mecha you can use periodically throughout the game.

Eventually you come across a guy named Chaos who just kills one straight up and the conversation is something like
Shion: How did you do that?!
Chaos: you know how people can just kinda do things? It's like that.
Shion: oh okay that makes sense.

And you're just like, "WHAT THE FUCK NO THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL"

It is later explained the reason he could do that is because he's literally Jesus.

---

Yeah I beat all the Xeno games (Gears, Saga 1-3, Blade 1 and 2).

Lots and lots of Nietzsche-meets-Bible stuff

---

I figured you did but wasn't sure so I just dumped the whole thing up front rather than have to go back and give more exposition. Those games are convoluted and wordy as fuck.

---

I found one more on the west island that didn't spawn until I completed some tile walking puzzle that I missed somehow. 18 now. Just 2 more to find.

---

I like how Baal, Morax and Barbatos are Dukes of Hell in literature.

But there's one more.

Paimon.

Yeah they're all named after demons in the Ars Goetia.

This is my theory. Possible spoilers.

• Paimon is the archon of time referenced in the quest with the nameless Island in Mondstat.
• The prince and princess from the Gnostic hymn are not actually The travelers. They are the unknown god and Dainsleif. Dainsleif is her brother.
• Something horrible happened at the end of the siblings journey which made Paimon reverse time to the beginning. The sibling and Dainsleif were inside the Abyss at the time and unaffected, so when events started up again, your character woke up.
• Paimon wiped everyone's memory of herself and inadvertently wiped her own memory of herself at the same time or she is just really good at faking it.

I'm sure this has been covered a dozen times already, but what's the best f2p sword for Ayaka and should I just be building for cryo damage?
(this is what happens when you pay no attention to a character for weeks and then decide to pull for them on a whim lol)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gNxZ2xab1J6o1TuNVWMeLOZ7TPOqrsf3SshP5DLvKzI/pubhtml?gid=100510092#

This is always a good place to find quick gear advices for all chars.

Can you afford Blackcliff? Amenoma?
As usual, build critbalance. Since Blizzard is optimal, you can invest minimally into critrate and focus on critdamage, but you need a hydro to freeze for the extra 20% critrate.
Ayaka has effectively 100% cryo uptime, so cryo goblet.

---

Not really F2P but black sword is essentially the best weapon you can get outside of gacha system.

If you don't want to buy that then get Blackcliff or Amenoma (the Inazuma craftable)


---

Thanks for the link, @Noraneko_Vel

Yes, I can get my hands on a Blackcliff when it goes on sale in the shop next month. Fortunately, I'm not in any rush with this account and I'll need to farm up all the mats for her in the interim. I main Amber on that account right now LOL

I don't remember a barrier I think I still have it marked

Edit: yeah that's it. The barrier bugged out for me so it wasn't there.

I think the barrier goes away permanently once you activate the kitsune.

There wasn't one when I went there the first time

I'd personally recommend getting the Amenoma and saving your starglitter. The difference between the two is probably marginal.

Eula's investment scaling is absolutely wild

Holy shit I accidentally ran Ayaka's gear area instead of Eula's, and this dropped



Ayaka going TURBO

I just tried my C6 Chongboi out for the first time ever using Ayaka's gear and holy shit this guy is amazing .

At Lv 20 he's hitting for like 5k and shattering, and his Ult is bonkers

There's no way he is actually that strong

I've wasted so many days worth resin in the past. Maybe my time had finally come.

19/22. Just 1 more to go until I can sit on my thumb until 2.1 comes out

Keqing is OP and Electro isn't a shit element it's just taking a long time for people to realize this.

at long last, the gods have granted me the luck i've been denied so long. i rolled all my saved up primos and now i have c6 yanfei (up from c0), c6 ningguang (up from c3), ayaka c0, mona c0, and got the mistsplitter off the weapon banner.

halle-fucking-lujah

I am one Alley Flash away from R5 but I don't need anything else on the banner. Not sure what to do.

C6 Yanfei is really, really good IMO. I have her equipped with Lost Prayer and she's a total beast because of how her charged attacks work in tandem with crits.

People always compare her with Klee and I find it pretty annoying. IMO C6 Yanfei is better overall than C0 Klee.

Pretty sure i haven't used any resin in two weeks besides the weekly bosses.
