Left the download running while I went out for a couple hours to finish the last couple gigs, came back and it said some of the files couldn't be verified. Now it's starting all over from the beginning. :negative:

he uses jdownloader but someone else links to XDM in one of the top comments. download and install it, take the url from the main post and copy it into XDM and it'll download at your max speed.

go to settings/network settings and set segments per download to 32, then just hit the + in lower left, add the link, away it goes. once done move it into the genshin impact folder and you're good.

Thanks! That's way faster.

Fell through a hole in the wall while gliding and got underneath Mondstadt. The geometry is really weird down there, all kinds of spikes and holes they never bothered to clean up when they plopped the town on top.

She decreases glider stamina consumption by 20%.

Amber's passive is really good for long distance gliding in general and I feel the OP was selling it short in the tier list. Having as much stamina as possible is vital when mountain climbing in Liyue and just a little can mean all the difference when flying between mountains to land on the side of a cliff.

The battle pass is a serious joke compared to what I've seen in other games. A weapon at level 30, no cosmetics, no characters, just a bunch of leveling crap and the occasional pull token.

What artifact sets do people recommend, and full four piece or 2/2? I've been more concerned with rarity and stats and haven't given the bonuses too deep a look.

Sorry to ask about random questions but with the Fire Cook's quest for ingredients: There's a treasure chest near the peppers that she wants. Does anyone know how to open that chest since it's surrounded by a red ring?

Look around for anything out of the ordinary. If there's a sealed chest that isn't opened by clearing monsters there's probably some kind of targets you need to smack. Try turning your elemental sight thing on, interactables will be highlighted.

I've noticed attacks will auto-aim at the nearest enemy if there's one in reach. It's actually kind of annoying when trying to aim directional AoEs.

Unrelated, there is a neat and obvious hole in the water layer you can use to walk along the ocean floor to get to the north-east island that's not on the map without using cryo. I would link to a video but they're insufferable.

I used video guides for both amenoculi and geoculi. I had to split it up over four days and I was nearly losing my mind by the end.

On the plus side, you will bump into a lot of chests and puzzles along the way.

Pull the Venti banner if you want more Barbaras, Fischls, and Xianglings, otherwise wait until the next one - the rate up 4*s are of more interest to me than the 5* (because I need more expedition bodies).

They all have really good constellation bonuses so might as well keep pulling for Venti.

Man, you were right about the money, you seem to have loads of it until all of a sudden you have none at all. Probably allegorical.

Yep, keeping characters and gear leveled really costs a lot. Money was a huge issue when I started leveling everyone's artifacts. Now my problem is not enough trash artifacts to dump.

WL1. So far I've been mostly using Traveler, Kaeya, Barbara, Lisa and rotating between them while waiting for things to come off cooldown. Worked alright until I tried to do Oceanid and some of the spawns were healing faster than I could damage them. I eventually got it down with liberal use of ice and tons of food but figured I was doing something wrong to struggle with it so much.

Oceanid is way harder than the other character ascension token bosses and you pretty much have to focus on freeze and burst damage to win.

I think that like, almost every single videogame falls in to this trap at some point, where the game is full of enemies that are there for you to fight because it's a video game, but then they make a sidequest where one of the generic monsters is actually chill and that sort of calls into question all the killing you've done of them up until that point but the game seems totally unaware and never addresses that as a moral conundrum because they didn't actually mean to wade into that territory, they just thought having "a monster, but nice" would be funny as a one-time goof.

I guess what I'm saying is that the subtext might be bad but I generally don't care about a game's subtext unless it's actually trying to have some, which this game isn't. Like, the entire Monstadt part has a whole subplot of evil foreign diplomats

We’re up against a massive ludonarrative wall since all of them regard us as kill on sight outside that quest. Same issue with Childe wanting us to join the Fatui despite the Fatui goons shooting at us in the wilderness.

I’m AR 27 or so and my interest is starting to wear thin. It’s a compelling grind but I need something to grind for and the spiral abyss isn’t quite cutting it. No difficulty elsewhere.

I’m at like 79 pulls on the Venti banner so I’m at least in until I finally get a 5* hero.

The 29 quest is great but you’re probably going to want to slow down and just do your dailies and resin until 1.1 drops in a month.

How much do enemies level up after the first ascension quest at AR25? It's nice having bosses like regisvines be easy and I don't want to push them up too far too fast :)

I've been paused here a sec building up my team and wondering how high I should get things before doing that quest.

They’ll still be pretty easy. Not too difficult at 30 either but enough that I’ve started to worry about what they’ll be like when I hit WR4

Xian 1’s debuff makes subsequent pyro attacks hit a little harder, great for pairing with her energy attack or a fire dps like Deluc. Fischl’s second constellation adds a bonus burst of damage when her turret deploys and her third gives it bonus levels. I think Fischl’s final constellation lets the entire party benefit from her first’s bonus but I’ll probably never get to that one.

The answer is obviously Toby Fox.

I feel Toby’s too indie for the argument, Undertale’s success notwithstanding. We’re talking people who’ve been household names at studios of moderate size or better whose names are branding. Will Wright, Sid Meyer, Chris Roberts (well, up until star citizen).

What's the other currency used for, though? The ones that are star shaped that like every five seconds I get one or two just wandering around? I can't find where to dump that to satisfy my gambling addictions.

You convert it into pull tokens in the shop or from the wish menu directly. It can also be used to buy battle pass levels directly but that’s a huge waste.
