They added two additional weekly missions with the reputation system (3 bounties and 3 requests), so there's more bp exp available to get now.

Can you cap your BP for the week? I don't think I ever actually have, maybe the weeklies rolled wrong, but either way pass-level achievements including events don't count for the weekly cap.

This week is the first week I've ever actually managed it. And I didn't even do the 10 boss kills.

I capped my BP for the week thanks to the meteorites. Didn't even have to finish leylines or dailies today.

Also I pulled Chongyun from Wanderlust thinking I was gonna hit pity. 10 more rolls should get me SOME kinda 5-star? (Keqing or Mona or Diluc pls)

Pretty sure the "BP Period" missions don't count towards the weekly cap. At the moment there's enough XP in the dailies and weeklies to hit the cap without needing all of them.

Yeah, funny story, right after I posted that I went into the game, did my dailes, and capped BP for the week. It's the bounties and requests that did it.

If you ever swap Xiangling off carry DPS you'll want the other craftable spear. Way better for a build centered on dropping her skills and swapping out

E:

Based on what we know about Zhongli, would it be better to level Xingguang C5 or Noelle C1 as a Geo support for Zhongli carry or assume Zhongli will be a Geo support and level Xingguang C5 as a carry?

He looks like a support. I would still just wait you might hate how he plays.

Apr 6, 2011

he doesnt have any passives that improve his attacks and his growth stat is geo dmg, so he would need an abuseable auto attack like xiangling to be a good main dps (which i dont think he has.) the focus up 5 star weapon for him gains attack when he hits an opponent, but i think this is just supposed to work with the pulsing damage on his elemental skill. considering he also needs a second geo construct out to work with, ningguang is likely his best partner (ideally with the skill that resets jade screen when it gets destroyed.)

Oct 23, 2012

yeah, the big thing with him is getting resonance damage on his skill, so Noelle is basically useless and you'd want GeoMC or Ningguang instead.

Good idea, I took to both Klee and Childe's kits but that's no guarantee.

I'm in the weird spot where I'm stockpiling XP books and mora while artifacts and ascension mats are my main damage bottleneck. I scraped up enough DPS to solo the meteors after hitting a wall. Looking forward to the co-op part of the event

You don't have to go nuts on the BP at all, there's plenty of slack. As long as you make a legit effort to do it, it's gonna happen. Feel free to ignore challenges you don't like.

As long as you get to like 8000 of your limit in a week, you'll complete it with BP to spare.

Yeah I'm nearly half way done with it and I really think they should add more levels at the end even if it just gives poo poo rewards.

A lot of the other games battle passes do that just so you feel like you keep getting stuff even if the rewards are kinda poo poo.

In case anyone is curious or for resin planning purposes, the next phase of the event is 40 resin for 50 meteor cores. Not sure if it scales with WL.

Weekly bosses drop five star artifacts as early as a30 so that’s something. In hindsight it doesn’t seem like much but I probably liked it at the time.

I consider a double rate to be pretty nuts. Each pile of books you buy is saving you 40 resin.

You should be abe to buy out the shop in 14 runs at 50 per run I think so no fragile required.

Thankfully co-op seems to be optional.

That tracks here. I haven't eaten the AR45 hit yet, but I'm sitting on a bit over 5m and more books than I'll need for two carries. If I do 5-7ish fire flowers then Diluc is set for 80. The overworld will probably be a massive pain given I'll hit WL5 at least a week before I can spend resin again, but meh. I'll keep my fragiles around for 5*s later.

If nothing else waiting on blowing currency lets me jump on it when some new carry becomes a monster due to new set/rules changes/spiral is now all about geo/whatever.

If you kill the 4 on the map every day you only need to do that for 5 days for the BP quest.

i'm at rank 19 with 190 exp. it happens if you do a lot of dailies, weeklies, and then one thing out of the monthly. it's too bad because it means i won't be able to get my black sword until after next week.

The monthlies don't count for your weekly limit. It's just that the weekly plus seven times the dailies add up to 10860.

It's also a little over 8 pulls ($1.21 per pull). Which is terrible value if you compare it to Welkin Blessing (about $0.26 per pull), but great value if you compare it to buying primos from the store ($2.47 per pull). It's better value than buying gems from the store even with the first timer's doubling bonus.

If you want to spend money on the game, then Welkin Blessing is your best value by far, and the BP is the second best. Whether it's worth it is a personal decision, of course! But it's still objectively better value than whaling.

I bought the BP pass last cycle and I don't regret it. But now that I've got an incredible surplus of mora and exp books (made even larger by the Fischl event), I'm probably not gonna buy it again.

It was definitely a worthwhile purchase my first time when I was constantly gated by materials, but I think I'm good now.

For now...

But yeah, the Welkin and BP are by far the "best value" There aren't enough ironic quotes

The Welkin is great when you need characters, but for doing things with whoever you pull the bp is tops. Keep in mind that you can't grind to catch up, you can get at most 10 levels a week, and the items are back heavy so it's much less worth it if you don't think you'll finish the whole thing.

I doubt anyone here particularly cares, but spending money on games like this isn't any worse than spending them on MTG or miniatures or any other collectible hobby you happen to have. As long as you can afford it who gives a poo poo, just have fun with the game.

Finishing the Battle Pass is way more comfortable now than it used to be. With the resin cap increase I no longer lose resin due to it capping while I'm asleep + off to work, which means I actually finish the weekly resin spending goal now. And with the 900 extra points per week for bounties + requests, it should be much more doable to hit the weekly cap regularly, which I did for the first time today. Before I would've had to spend fragile resin to reach it.

With BP and blessing I'm looking at a whopping $12.50 a month for a game I'm going to play for 40+ hours during that time, so yeah. They're both sane options to support the game and have a little bit more fun playing it. You don't even need to buy the BP up front - can just see how far you get and check if it's worth it.
