I will say, Geo goblet should give you a whole lot more damage, something like 20% more damage assuming identical substats (not a fair assumption ofc).

Eh, not interested, I like the memeness of just having a poo poo load of defense/large stat numbers, If I wanted to build her for actual dps I'd have more than 21.3% crit/90.4% crit damage and more atk% on her artis.

Also I just checked with Whiteblind buffs at 3/5 refinement she's at 5714 Atk and 3235 Def :v:

Crit hat/ele goblet will almost always beat straight stat stacking but you don't get the satisfaction of the High number. I still regret swaping albedo's hat/goblet, 3K defense looks much better than 1.9K even if damage is almost 30% higher.

Does anyone have any idea how daily commissions are assigned? I see a lot of people ITT complain about constantly getting the same ones, and I've gotten the Wangshu Inn one like 8 times in the last 10 days. It doesn't seem random.

I'm one geo cube fight away from having the materials to take him up to 70 so I wanna know what to aim for so I can also build towards those meaty crits as well but I don't know if I should go by the spreadsheet when every so often I see people talking about Defender's Will being good enough to pull that kinda stuff off with too.

  • Level 80/90
  • 1,676 DEF total. In terms of artifacts bonuses, that's 85.3% DEF plus 167 flat value.
  • 75.5% Crit Rate (which includes the +28% crit rate when over 90% health from the Harbinger of Dawn passive)
  • 134.9% Crit Damage
  • 2pc Archaic Petra + 2pc Gladiator's Finale. All are 5* artifacts. The gladiator set bonus doesn't do anything for his blossom damage, but I got really nice rolls on a DEF gladiator hourglass, so.
  • DEF hourglass, Geo DMG goblet, Crit Rate circlet. All are at +16 except for the hourglass, which is at +20.

You get 3 generic ones and 1 more interactive one. It's random. "like 8 times in the last 10 days" is exactly how random stuff works, sadly (which is why many games avoid it).

I really think there's more to it than that. Your commissions are always in either Liyue or Mondstadt. Assuming those are 50/50 odds that's already only a 5% chance to have it happen 8 times in 10 days. And then there's how many special commissions in Liyue, the odds of it picking that specific one so often seems vanishingly low. The fact that a lot of people complain about this seems more than purely random.

It's almost certainly not completely random, I'm sure they have various probabilities attached. I'm assuming "Small Step For Hillichurls", "Spreading Evil", and "Emergency" are everyone's most seen commissions.

I'm pretty sure that the Wangshu Inn commissions (Business in a Marsh and Guest From Afar) are weighted more heavily in the interactive category. I get them pretty often. Sparrow Studies the Blade and the Unseen Razor also crop up more than others IME.

Overall, I really enjoy this event. It can be frustrating, but only if you make it that way -- I nearly tore my hair out getting the clip, but I refused to get any less than 7500. The scavenger hunt aspect for fruit buffs is really neat, and cranking up the difficulty in the domains really brings back those old Abyss memories (for better or worse).

Maybe commissions with variants (i.e. kill hilichurls here instead of the place you did yesterday) are counted separately, so they can seem more common. I got the "find Anna" quests 3 out of the past 5 days, but each time a different spot.

The first half team is close enough to the 3rd most popular comp to count imo. What is the plan on that team anyway? Using XL ult to melt chongyun attacks or are you trying to melt/vape her ult?

I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
I think the commission I hate the most is the one where you gotta help that guy repair his balloon. Like just let me get the wood and rope at the same time or hell let me just give you some of my wood from my most recent deforestation run.

Story wise the commission I hate the most is the Geri one in Liyue. Come on man, you’re sitting at one of the best restaurants in another country and you want me to make you spaghetti?

My favorite commissions are the destroy the training dummies one in Mondstadt, any of the destroy two tower ones, and also the balloon escort commissions because they’re all quick and easy. Especially the balloon escort because I found out you don’t even need to escort the balloon. You can just run ahead and destroy the obstacles and then gently caress off somewhere to go mining/punching trees and you’ll get credit as long as you don’t teleport.

Except for the one version in Mondstadt where it makes you choose a path. gently caress that one.

E: Is there a spreadsheet where I can plug in artifact stats and it’ll tell me which one is better for a specific character?

The Bennett team doesn't have a carry, right? Just tons of energy generation to spam bursts, mostly due to having Bennett. I'd say my comp functions very differently, since everyone's just supporting best boi Chongyun. I don't really try too hard to set up specific reactions, since whatever happens is usually pretty beneficial (apart from like Diona triggering melt). Melt does around the same damage whether CY or XL procced it, and freeze gives me room to get autoattacks in.

BTW, freeze is a godsend versus the cicins in 12-2-1

After looking at a few low view count videos it looks like a normal bennet carry comp with XQ thrown in, so yeah its definitely different. Just looking at that team anyone of XL/CY/ bennet could be the carry. I guess they are using bennet as main carry to avoid breaking frozen with attacks and using his decent ratio skill and ult.

The lightning fatui in the event, too. I swear the guy was skating backwards like ten feet on every plunge.

Xiao is extremely strong in straight-up fights where there's not bullshittery going on with crap on the floor/invulnerability phases/oops no energy/oops no skills/super spread-out enemies. If that wasn't the exact definition of how Mihoyo does difficulty he'd be a whole lot better. I'd consider ZL a requirement for him.

The Intricately Carved Calligraphy Table, the Red Cedar Round Table and the Square Pine Tea Table (which is what you have) are all the same height.

You could try the Favonius Office Table or the two nightstands, but I suspect that they're all the same height or higher than the tables listed above.

So I got a Skyward Sword recently. Of Jean, Xingqiu, and Bennett, who should get what sword?

XQ Sac Sword is the obvious one since he has by far the longest CD and his E hits twice which makes the CD reset a lot more consistent. I guess technically speaking Bennett gets the most from Skyward's higher base attack since his Q's buff is based on his attack stat? And Jean is just gonna hit E once in a while to do a big chunk of damage so Festering Desire is probably pretty ideal there.

Ultima Ratio Regum
It's pretty good for Jean or Bennett but since it does have higher Base ATK it is better on Bennett than Jean. Honestly they both benefit from it and Festering Desire so I don't think it makes a huge difference but you're getting almost 100 extra Base ATK on Bennett and that can potentially translate to >100 ATK from his buff depending on the skill level. 100 ATK isn't a tremendous amount more considering how much he's giving already and how hard it tends to overkill your ATK, but it's still an improvement.

As for XQ, yeah just keep Sac Sword on him, it's way too good at recharging him quick.

2 Petra 2 Noblesse or 4 Millelith would be better but nobody else wants def artifacts so you end up with amazing pieces in off sets. The 2 Noblesse is basically accidental because I farm that domain a lot I don't really care about his Q damage. The 2 strayer is for sure completely accidental.

Harbinger is Harbinger of Dawn (or HoD), a 3 star gacha sword that's the preferred weapon for most Albedos. At refinement 5 its passive gives an extra 28% crit rate when Albedo has >90% HP.

Def is a bit easier to stack than atk because a DEF helmet gives 1.2x as much DEF as an ATK helmet gives ATK (58% vs 48%).

Actually I'm dumb and got that mixed up with the Travelers Handy Sword. One more thing to grind for! The highest I've got one of those right now is lvl 40 on Kaeya who hasn't been a frontline fighter in about 7 months.

I've come to the realisation that I've been neglecting my characters artifacts. Some of them have only level 0 to 4 artifacts...
Who should I focus on getting better artifacts for: Bennett, Fischl, or Ning? Ning is kind of my go to at the moment and has a crit rate up helm, but not much else relevant and it's not a relevant artifact set. I haven't had done the geo domain much. She does about 2k per charged attack and 5-6k per crit.
