Apparently you can teleport to your boat now :o

Oh boy another Domain to get real life Bennett luck rolls on for artifacts. They look like theyd be good for Noelle and Qiqi who I like. My Qiqi been benched for a while, but I miss using her.

I think Bennett still wants Noblesse. Barbara, however

---

That was what I was about to ask. Where'd you get the sword? You hackin', Swifty?

---

Maybe saw a video from the Asian server or leakers? I hear the new boss is a pain in the ass, but Im still playing catch-up as it is with Tsurumi and the Ei & Kokomi character quests.

I tried exchanging 9 5* artifacts for 3 Noblesse and of course they were cursed with all Hp and DEF. Mihoyo I will pay you whatever it takes to remove this curse :(

That's not a curse; it's a feature.

Wait the sword is out?!

Albedo test run

---

Meh, that's the test run. Gear in there is always pretty sus. Didn't even pay attention to the numbers.

Although that's not entirely true, because I did watch the numbers on the Eula bursts. Never used her and was seriously considering pulling for her, but after the test run, I'm not sure I like the way she handles. I don't precisely need her, but I suspect she's a stronger addition for me than Itto. I even partially leveled Rosaria in case I'd use her in tandem and I have a pale flame set ready (that I farmed for other reasons.) But I don't know I want to give up my primos right now, and I have C5 Bennett, so not pulling on this banner also makes a lot of sense.

I fucking love Eula. If I was a whale shed have an R5 of her best weapon and be C6 probably

From a quick look he had the new sword, new DEF set, C0.

Eula is awesome. Just takes some getting used to. Her Ult is probably the strongest in the game. Shes a character that needs heavy investment.

---

My Eula lacks ideal artifacts and the best stuff on her, but Jesus she hits so fucking hard I feel like I dont even need other characters other than keeping her healed up. Her Burst is so good I keep seeing it do 100k+ for me and I know for people who have her super built its capable of WAY higher

If anyone wants to see leaked menu animations of Shenhe and Yunjin here they are before they inevitably get deleted by Mihoyo

Uh never mind I guess. Jesus it was taken down in the all of 1min I spent watching it and then pasting the link.

Fortuitously, I already have a Pale Flame set I'm not using. Once upon a time when that domain came out, I thought maybe I'd try physical Keqing. (It was ages ago, okay? That used to be a thing.) So she's basically plug-and-play provided I can decide on a weapon. I have a Sealord unused or I might be able to steal Diluc's Skyward Pride, but I concluded I'd rather have more crit rate, so I grabbed the BP before it rotated out so I'd have a Serpent Spine. I'd also like an excuse to use Raiden, who doesn't really fit into anything I currently do.

Thus, there's a lot of reasons on paper why she looks good. But I had the assumption she attacked a bit faster (That's with Broken Pines in the trial!) and I was frequently missing with her burst. There's also the FOMO of future banners now that we've got newly announced characters OTW. Besides, I'm on a .50/99.50 rather than a guarantee, so there's almost no chance I land her anyway, and I'll probably wind up with C6 Bennett in the process. So I have some doubts. How much of my ineptitude in the trial is learning curve?

Theyre still somehow on YouTube if anyone wanted to see them

Well for a first day I got a maybe ok artifact from the new Doman for Noelle. Not ideal, but since she likes DEF if I recall it might not be bad at least.

Husk of Opulent Dreams Goblet
DEF % main stat
DEF +37 (1 roll into it)
ATK +14
HP +448
Crit DMG +26.4% (remaining rolls went to this)

Is optimal Noelle DEF/DEF/DEF? Is a DEF goblet > GEO goblet?

---

Why am I suddenly getting banner ads with Eula in them? Mihoyo knows! They're tracking me! Damn CCP spies collecting all my data!

No idea since I suck at building anyone. If it didnt take so long to build one character adequately Id be much happier :(

Def/Geo/Def or Def/Geo/Crit, if using the new artifact set. Shell have more than enough Def.


---

I have ELEVEN of these sword billets now. Should I just R5 Rancour? Its already R2 as it is and the other 2 sword options arent all that interesting. Nobody ever talks about Iron Sting or the latest one that is like the other Inazuma weapons

If you have eleven, I guess there's no harm since you can fully R5 any other option you suddenly decide you want.

---

For the time being there are only two options anyways and they must not be too amazing since I never see them on any character builds that use 4* weapons

Iron Sting is the baseline option for Kazuha if you don't have anything better. Besides that, nah, not really.

---

I dont even have him so I guess all in on Rancour

If you have Ayaka, the Inazuma sword is great on her.

---

Not surprising that the "free" options are inferior to what can be got through gacha?

---

I didnt pull for Ayaka either

Aww yeah 40 pulls on the Albedo banner fishing for C1 Bennett and got him! Also got a Rust to refine for Tartaglia and C2 Noelle (useless for now but one day C6). Always lucky, never punished.

---

Fought the new Golden Wolflord boss for the first time. Its gonna be a pain in the ass farming for Itto.

---

Do I need to learn this fight as the newest obstacle in Spiral Abyss?

---

Damn floor 11 bosses keep me from being able to hit floor 12. I really gotta try harder to build two top tier Abyss teams

Nevermind, Golden Wolflord is easy with Ganyongli.

Streaming now if anyone wants to watch me tame the beast.

---

I was a little worried about it, but it spends enough time on ground level to die to Hu Tao (though she gets launched by its hitbox a bunch), so the only real issue is bringing another geo character to speed up the shield phase.

---

These wolves feel so annoying to kill including the small ones. They just seem to take forever to die and the big ones are even worse

Wish I had seen this post earlier...but I was hosting a game, so I'm only free now.

---

Getting around to leveling up my Skyward Atlas and have finally run out of exp crystals getting it to 80.

Welp. Guess I'm finally forced to learn ore farming routes...

---

For the first 8 months of the game, I just did the really basic spots or whatever the blacksmith gave me. Like, there's only three spots in Liyue that were ever all that lucrative imo.

---

I havent ore farmed in quite awhile. I think since Inazuma came out. Helps that Ive leveled everything that I wanted so I have a good stockpile of ores to level up 1 or 2 new weapons if I wanted to, and then back to getting them from expeditions.

---

Oh hey, I see a Genshin ad on the front page.

---

I've been farming more ore now that Inazuma has slowed down. Also, don't forget to level the event weapon during the event, while exp is increased by 50%. I know I did for the fish sword

---

Is there any point to if you dont have Albedo? It didnt sound like it was meant for anyone else

nope

---

I'm deep in the god damn artifact hole now

Spent at least 1000 resin on the EoSF domain. I need two full sets for Xiangling and Xingqiu, plus any incidental upgrades I get for Raiden and Tartaglia (who has 2 Shimenawas). Got a whoooole bunch of mid artifacts and went broke leveling them up to check rolls. Down to 20 fragile resins and I still have to farm at least two EM VV pieces for Sucrose. Pain.

Im somewhat close to AR58
