Board 8 > Genshin Impact Topic 9: Reruns and the Rise of Geo

(+) 1 Yeah! (+)

Im gonna have to advance Inazuma stuff more to ascend Sara at all it seems. Tomorrow the shop resets again so woo free fates. Im getting close to another 5* from Acquaint ones. Maybe Ill somehow wind up with Yanfei from them too if Im lucky

I need 4 more starglitter to buy Bennett from the shop next month, and monthly shop + battle pass gets me one 10-pull and probably 2 glitter. Hopefully I can scrounge up enough Acquaint Fates to not have to spend any gems for this...

---

I do all of them each week. RNG for those weapon blueprints.

---

I have tons of billets. What I want is some good artifacts. I went back to trying to get better Pale Flame for Eula and lo and behold its raining HP and DEF sub and main stats :(

Billets*

---

The new fish-grilling webgame that launched today is a little weird but rewards 120(!) primogems.

---

Got my 10th sword Billet now. Monthly Fates got me a 3rd C for Sayu which was a nice surprise!

Finally cleared out the event rewards. These charm dungeons are neat and it's a bit of a shame that this is a limited-event only thing. Seems like they'd be nice to have around to do once or twice a month for rewards. They did allude to doing more with it so hopefully that means making it semi-permanent and not just rerunning the event once a year...

Tartaglia has also cemented himself as my favorite character so far with the event. His whole kinda "relaxed edgy frenemy" vibe is just really amusing to me. Glad I pulled for him!

And also on the subject of events and Childe, turns out this fish webgame is time-gated since you have to wait HOURS for him to catch fish, and the whole thing only lasts a week so don't put it off.

36* new abyss

A: Hu Tao, Xingqui, Zhongli, Albedo
B: Eula, Raiden, Kazuha, Bennett

I think if I used these teams on the last abyss I wouldve maxed starred it. Only got 35* with the last abyss, oh well.

---

6 hours per Childe fish is uhh way too long >_>

Also I am trying to get the recipes, but it feels a bit difficult to figure out how to cook all the fish even reading stuff claiming how to do it

That event makes no sense to me.

---

There are like 4-5 different hidden ones in total I think. Some are super easy and others are a bit tougher

Finished the web event.

---

I got all the fish made too

So how is everyone building their Thoma, artifact-wise? Weapon?

I think Im gonna give him Favonious Lance, best I can do unless I steal Homa from Hu Tao.

He seems to have a lot of artifact options:

4pc Noblesse
4pc TotM
4pc Severed
2pc Severed/TotM

Trying to decide what to farm, hmm. Main stats Im looking for are either HP on Sands, HP on Cup, and HP or Crit on Circlet. And hopefully a bunch of ER on each piece.

---

Finally got Tartaglia to 80/90 and Xingqiu to 70/80.

No offense to Barbara and my non-existent Mona but I don't want to fight Oceanid ever again.

---

Oceanid is a reasonably easy fight...unless you have a team that can't hit the jerk birds.

---

The power of water is it's ability to take on any shape.

I made do with Raiden skill/burst plus charge attacks. It's less the difficulty and more all the downtime making it take forever. Plus

Havent gotten to check out the new event yet, but hope its fun

Just finished the last event this morning. And by finish, I mean I did the final challenge that gives no rewards. Kicked my ass all week, but I finally beat it.

---

I feel like Ill never be satisfied with any of my characters thanks to artifact RNG hell. Like my Eula is good, but shes not as great as she could be if I could actually get the right stats :(

Did they seriously make the event requirements beating the Ayaka and Yoimiya quests and then throw the fucking event way out on an island covered in fog that I seem to have to clear to even reach the quest point. What the fuck Mihoyo

Hmm...I haven't been to Tsurumi yet, so I guess I'm doing that quest tomorrow.

---

Tsurumi Island was awesome.

---

Yeah I just started the Tsurumi quest yesterday and am not done with the fog either. Whoops!

---

They really need to stop making events that require you to be fully 100% caught up with every last bit of story. I swear, my alt is never going to be able to participate in anything besides Windblume Festival.

---

Well, Moonlight Merriment only needed completion of the Liyue story, which isn't too bad. I think this one might be the worst gate yet because not only do you have the normal Inazuma gate, but you have to do Seirai Stormchasers, another big exploration-heavy questline, to unlock the Tsurumi one.

I know part of it is deliberate to incentivize players to get to endgame quickly for the limited events, but I'm hoping that it stops being quite as bad once we get out of Inazuma. As a new-ish player having events and character upgrades locked to a place I can't even walk to sucked.

---

So long free Welkin I won from that anniversary thing. Was nice while it lasted

How do I go about Tsurumi Island anyways? Do I gotta clear Seirai first? All I know is theres mist almost everywhere and no quests here yet as far as I can tell

Yeah it's the quest that unlocks after you do all the Seirai ones. The good news is you don't have to do all of Tsurumi's quests to get rid of most of the fog. I'm only partway through the first one and I can get to most of the island, hopefully that's good enough for the event.

---

Guess Im headed to Seirai, but I think the quests there are time gated too? Gonna have to hope none of this event needs any real parts of Tsurumi exploration if thats the case

swordz9 posted...

Yes but it's only 4 days from what I hear. Also, I started the first quest yesterday, lifted the fog, but did not complete the quest, and the fog is still gone today. It looks like this



I think I might just try to leave it half-complete until I know where the event wants me to go, since there's more event quests dropping in the next three days and I don't know if I'll have time to explore the island.

---

Seirai's quests aren't timegated at all. Tsurumi's are over 4 days, yes.

---

Sounds like a plan! I just cleared the lightning in Seirai. That boss fight was a bit annoying though. Do I have to use a taunter like Ganyu to get rid of the lock on my characters?

There's a lock? If you mean the lightning pillar, just run from it.

---

Is that all I have to do? I thought there mightve been some way to remove the lock-on from the bird.

Every Inazuma island other than Tsurumi at 100% now. Possibly missing a few random chests and electroculus or whatever, but I couldnt get any more to pop up no matter where I wandered so if I did miss any they must be extremely well hidden. Trying to get more of these respect level side quests, but the commissions for them havent popped up yet so nothing I can do about that.

Thunder Manifestation is just a rough fight. I found it totally manageable at earlier WLs but now that I'm WL7 and need to grind it for Raiden's last ascension it's kicking my ass in a way the other bosses don't. It feels way too tanky for all the teleporting it does and running around you have to do.

In the meantime I've been building up the rest of my team. I got C2 Diona from the wanderlust banner so I got her to 70/80. Finally having a good shielder should help me out a lot and makes me feel like a god when doing Ahzdaha co-op. I think my next character to focus on is Yanfei so I need it. Soon it will be time to unleash the explosion lawyer...

---

Yoimiya wrecks the Thunder Bat. If you need help farming, lmk.

---

Yoimiya you say? Wish mine was built better, but Ill bring her next time I fight it

Yup, just make sure someone shields her. And pair with Xingqui.

---

New event fully cleared. That wasnt too bad

NioraptH posted...

Lately, my "destroy everything" team has been Yoimiya-Xingqiu-Albedo-Zhongli

I also use this team a lot. Zhong/Albedo top tier.

Same. Took me 3 runs, and I used Fischl for the first time in months
