Just started poking at this game.... there's like seventeen different currencies. It's giving me Warframe flashbacks.

How long should I wait before I start enhancing my weapon? Obviously it would have been a waste to cram stuff into the super-early-game stuff...

I apparently need 800 gems to make another set of Wishes, and I seem to be getting them 1 at a time. Is it just slow accumulation, or am I doing it wrong somehow?

Is it fine to pick Noelle as my first character to develop?

I've had this book goal to kill an abyss cryo mage for a while now. Is that something I'm going to run into in the course of the story, or is there somewhere I need to go?

Oops I forgot to complain about the issue that has bothered me most this patch: electro crystals being generally hard to hit with claymores and also some characters taking way too many hits to break them. Poor Sayu does a full attack string per crystal if you don’t remember to spin2win.

Don't you hit electro crystals with a Pyro attack to explode them?

They should add more weapon categories. Punchfists and dual-axes and staves.

the most important things are weapon and artifact levels, then character levels and talents, though some characters unlock talents at level 60/70 that make a huge difference. it's ok if you don't have perfect artifact sets yet, just as long as they're the correct main stat for the crown/goblet/sands

What mainstats should I be going for on my Xiangling main?

It's basically like your summoning a facsimile homunculus version of the character via the wish system to fight alongside you in battle but the real character is still in their usual locations doing their own thing and unless they are in a cutscene are 100% separate from the traveler's journey and activities UNLESS they are trial character in which case they are treated as for real being there with the traveler.

I blame Paimon. Conjuring homunculi seems like something she'd do.

I kind of feel for Chongyun, honestly? Dude is extremely good at running off ghosts but has no practical experience as an exorcist, so he can't contribute to the body of knowledge and if there's ever a ghost that isn't scared of him it's going to be, like, an end boss ghost he has no idea how to fight.

Bash it with a very large club, the same way he fights everything else.

What's the best way to maximise the number of koi I can get from the event fishing spots, keeping in mind the fifty fish daily limit? If there's no koi present do I just catch other random fish until one shows up?

Today's fishing event quest

Today we followed a 'treasure hoarder' back to his camp because he found a fossil that we wanted. But he found it? He didn't steal it or anything, it was lying in some other rocks. We attacked him and his friends to "take back" something that didn't belong to us in the first place! But it's okay, because we labelled him as a treasure hoarder before we jumped out of the bushes

They were hoarding treasure that we wanted to have, making them treasure hoarders, meaning it was ok to take the treasure off them.

Always be smashing artifacts. You'll abandon the artifact you levelled up eventually, but then you can feed it to your new artifact to get 80% of the xp back.

'Gamers' no longer just means 'people who play games'. It is a specific subculture of overdramatic misogynistic CHUDs. There are plenty of people who play games but would recoil at self-identifying as a 'gamer', because of said subculture.

I'm running Raiden with Xiangliang and Bennett as supports, plus Sucrose for 'blow poo poo the gently caress up' duty.

While Benny is intended to be support for me, he's surprisingly scrappy when other characters are down and he needs to finish things off / build charge for his ult to heal them.

Why is clear time for artifact domains so important when you can only do four runs a day anyway? 30 seconds vs 3 minutes is still a only a brief time.

its not ruining my life im just not sure how being able to save 40 seconds of my life would make genshin impact a poo poo game or anything. what significant gameplay depth or options is being explored. i like getting upgrades, i like the character building, that stuff is engaging for me. im totally fine doing 3 minutes of artifacts a day im just not sure why being able to skip past the fights would make it terrible.

if i want that i can just do it? and if i dont want that i can skip past it. everyone wins.

I think you mixed cause and effect. Being able to skip gameplay doesn't make a game poo poo, but if the designers of a game know that it is poo poo they'll let you skip as much of it as possible so you can go back to paying for waifus. Or charge you to skip it, if they think they can get away with it.

Maybe I am uniquely bad at this game, but I find I need healers almost all the time? Like, when I am exploring I will get hit every so often and eventually die. Or if I'm running repeated domains it's the same. It's not like I will instantly die without a healer, but I take enough random hits that I find it very beneficial to have one. So all this talk of "you never really need a healer" sounds to me like the top 1% of players ignoring what the experience of everyone else is like.

Like, I currently use Barbara in the abyss even though I hate her, so a better Barbara seems like a good deal to me.

Edit: Maybe it's just because I'm not using Bennet or Zhongli or whatever.
