What Eula quest needs to be completed for the new content? I’m at the etiquette quest step where I need to run a gauntlet without getting hit over in DragonsSpine.

you just have to get out of any step of the quest that involves Jean. i only had to get yelled at by the dude and run into Amber and that freed her up enough that i could start the islands.

the Eula quest isn't a prereq, but Genshin does this thing where if you're in the middle of a story quest it can lock you out of other content because NPCs are busy

I think the feature I want more than anything in this game is to be able to mark artifacts as fodder from the reward screen. I know full well that the Def % maiden hat with flat def, flat atk, and flat HP is never getting any investment, just let me mark it for fodder, god drat

Oh god yes this. Didnt know it's what I wanted, but it's now top of my list. Going through artifacts to fodder is a giant pain in the rear end.

Hey, you're right. I just progressed along the Eula quest a little and I was permitted to progress the event quest

The outfits will be available for purchase after 1.6, they aren't limited, so you don't have to worry about missing them.

Oh yeah I know, I just mean that Jean's is cheaper right now and I just bought a new Welkin Moon so I've already got 300 crystals on me right now so I could buy it for a smaller top up than having to start from scratch and it's kinda tempting

Selane posted:

I can do better than that; I couldn't start the new content because of a pending unfinished Noelle hangout. Then I finished it and still can't do it because of the Eula thing. :v: Guess it's time to finally get that done.

Oh gently caress, I didn't think those would ever come back to haunt me. I haven't done any of the hangouts aside from Chongyun's and I still haven't even done Hu Tao's character quest let alone Eula's. I guess I'd better mainline those things when I've got time then.

hangouts require you manually starting them before they lock any characters down afaik, because they don't appear in your quest list until then. character quests are the ones to worry about, but like in this case you can probably just progress them a bit and have the character you need free for whatever other quest.

A smug rear end in a top hat would say "welcome to Genshin". I have so many >6 cons I don't think I'll ever run out of glitter. The odds on 4* pulls make you think you'll win but you never do.

Welcome to Genshin. :getin:

really want kazuha but klee is also very tempting, aaaaaargh

Welcome to probability. Given the odds, you are on average supposed to get an on-banner 4* at around your 36th roll, so you got unlucky, but the variance of the odds make it so that you almost guaranteed to get at least one Sucrose by your 147th roll. (These are statistical odds, and there is not pity to guarantee getting any specific 4* on banner. Roll at your discretion!)

though i never watched iwtl's account overview so i assume this is a C6 Venti accounting for some of the ridiculousness aside from his usual insane artifact grind.

I thought character banners did the same thing with 4*s they do with 5*s, where you're guaranteed that at least every second roll of that rarity will be on-banner. Or, less awkardly phrased, you can't go more than 20 rolls on the character banner without an on-banner 4* character showing up. Unless a 5* shows up in the middle and resets the "4* or above" pity counter.

Yeah, I know it's completely within the possibility of the probability. I'm just bemoaning my bad luck. It'd be one thing if I wasn't constantly getting on-banner 4*s that are just Barbara over and over again :v:

Still got almost three weeks left on this banner, there will be more rolls.

Corect. What that poster meant is that on average you'll get each specific average rate up character once per 36 rolls over millions of rolls (if their algo isn't rigged).

I put in like 80 rolls on the Eula banner and got Jean and then 30 rolls later got Eula. Is that my guarantee already used or not? I had a guarantee for Venti so the pattern follows but I'm not sure if it's a dice roll now.

If you pull the rate up, you're on a 50-50 for the next 5*.

I think if you haven't used a story key and gotten the little pop up saying the character quest has started, you'll be good.

I believe it's always been 40%, but at the very least it was 40% before this patch. It actually got a nerf with them fixing the super vape bug.

Wow, I'm dumb. I got mixed up.

In that case... it's pretty bad and should have been buffed to go alongside the EM changes. 2 Wander 2TF is better than 4TF until you get over 300 EM unless you're doing Bennett stuff.

Yeah, Thundering Fury should actually be worse now in terms of returns. Its damage bonus is additive with EM, at least when I tested it long ago, so it went from being worth ~90 EM to ~50 EM

Wait, am I not supposed to be pumping C0 characters all the way up to L70? Don't know what else I'd do, all I have is c0 and c1 chars.

How do I get gold when the chests dry up? I can do the ley lines but it seems like a waste of resin when I need the weapon/talent/character ascension materials. Also artifacts jesus I'm still using blues.

You will reach a point where you don't need to farm weapon/talent/ascension materials often. I currently use most resin on artifact domains and will dip into the gold/XP leylines if I'm running low. I only really do the talent/ascension ones when I want to level some new character (you get a decent amount from events and stuff).

Yeah it's weirdly off base from how they marketed it. Even after you light the beacons, phase 1 is way more piracy/Waterworld focused than any sort of spring break vibe.

Sucrose was the first character I C6ed. I think I C4ed her on the first Klee banner. Still mad I didn't get Klee.

I managed to but 70 rolls into this banner and never getting her once, which is good luck. Still didn't get Klee. Still mad.
