Yeah I got a lot of Fischl's in a row from this banner trying to get Bennett, and I was doing 10 pulls since I was hoping for double Bennett for an extra const. I tried to go one at a time, and I got another Fischl. Bennett just does not want to come home :(, and I am somewhat close to get a second Albedo, and I am unsure if I want that either.

Dang I got "like" a C8 Fischl trying to get a Bennett

Is there some concrete criteria for making Regisvines and Elemental Cube bosses respawn? I feel like I can teleport away and back and most of the time they will have returned, but sometimes not and I can't figure out why it's inconsistent.

There's more than 80 of them. I've found 83 not including the 5 quest ones you get when you get it to level 8.

If the genshin-impact-map.appsample.com map is accurate, I think I've found them all. Those + the 5 from the first set of quests at level 8 get you to 92.

Edit:
Also if anyone is interested, clearing out the whole zone, plus two sets of daily commissions, and spending 180 resin, got me from just hitting AR48 to just 17280/18250 towards AR49. Didn't do absolutely everything, but got all quests done and unlocked everything you can.

And I could get everything done without the use of the chill reduction items, except for one stupid Lawachurl in the storm area with no heat sources/crystals nearby that kicked my rear end.

I had the same thing happen. I was getting one almost every boss when I first started playing and thought they were relatively common, I have not got one in months now. I wonder if they compete with some other drop like the boss drop talent items or something else.


I ended up with 4 extra, so at least 74. It is annoying because the quests from rank 8 give 5 so I am stuck one short of levelling the tree to 9. I wonder how many total there are, because at least to me it does not make sense to end up one short of levelling once you start accruing them in increments of 5.

According to Mihoyo's official map I counted 79, unless I missed some.

I teleport twice to different ends of the map, then back to the boss. Usually it works when I teleport once far away but I like to be sure

In case anyone else has been running around the mountain for a whole goddamn hour trying to find the secret room you slot the boxes into (:suicide:), the path to it is at the top of Starglow Cavern. You could probably also get to it by going clockwise around the mountain from the Statue of the Seven or climbing up from the waypoint directly below it there, but I haven't tried either of those things.

It's perfectly approachable from the statue, you just climb over a wall and then do two easy jumps - that's how I first found it, then forgot how I got to it and had to check leddit to find how to get to it through the cave.

It seems like there's a (fairly short) respawn time but they won't appear if the player is too close in the world.
To save on the walk back from the teleporter, it's easier to just quit-to-menu from the boss arena and then log in again. Depending on how fast your load time is you might have to give it a bit of extra time before logging back in.

I told people to wait for word on Albedo, he was pretty hard to call and then he got buffed right before launch. Seems like he's turning out alright, although apparently his C2 only affects his Burst and is not a universal damage amp, which is unfortunate and makes him firmly a support (although I'm sure someone will spend crazy amounts of time farming a perfect carry set for him for whatever reason). But he at least seems to be good at support. One thing I'm curious about is using him with like Tartaglia and C6 Fischl. Just poo poo numbers in melee mode while under a shield that's refreshing every 2sec and Fischl's popping off the whole time. Honestly kinda wonder if Albedo could be one of the better shield supports with enough EM. It's crazy, but Crystallize going off so often could justify it and he gives himself some EM anyway when he bursts at A4. If he can consistently produce Crystallize shields then he adds a lot of fire-and-forget support potential thanks to his huge AoE that lasts forever. Face-smash through everything while shielded.

EDIT: Can the Albedovator be damaged? What would stop just standing on it with Ning and raining rocks on everyone from safety?

I don't think they changed how it works, they just changed the description... to one that does not help me at all to understand what it actually does. My assumption is it's a damage ramp the longer an arrow is in flight or, perhaps, the longer an attack is out before it hits. I don't think it helps Tartaglia's melee any, for example, but I could be wrong. There's no indication of a general buff on the character when they deploy, so I don't think it's that.

Are there any Def swords? I haven't started using Albs but I put Prototype Rancour on him cuz he sure doesn't need CD resets or energy gain. Phys Dmg is kinda a null stat but I figure if he's gotta spend some time out to grab Crystallize orbs he can swing some.

Oh poo poo a EM sword would be interesting too, I don't have one of those either.

omg I looked it up, no Def 4/5 but the new crafting sword is a EM? I guess that's what you meant not the stupid event thing lol.

I'm not used to non-Noelle Shields, I guess when it doesn't say anything then shields are just reactions which is just gains strength from levels and EM?

The ice cicin really need a fire unit that can pop elementals fast enough break her shield since she re-applies it really quick. I'm leaving it to jean to kill her since scaling fall damage does way more numbers than my other characters on her.

The ice domain is actually surprisingly easy with klee/xq and two flex picks. With Jean I dont have to worry about the ice mechanic because she always keeps me topped off. Only problem is the big guy doing a combo video on one of your characters and 100%-0 without being able to swap out.

I think sometimes the game just bugs out.

Check the adventurer journal on the bosses tab, if there is a respawn time you gotta wait for that. If that says it should have spawned and you teleported far away then back to the boss and they still aren't there, gotta close and restart the game.

I used to see it regularly in 1.0, but haven't really had an issue since 1.1 so either I have been lucky, or the boss might still be on cooldown.

Sucrose is basically Diet Venti, and considering Venti is probably the best character in the game, she's still pretty good.

Venti's main advantages are he can do great support while also being built to do quite a bit of damage on his own, and that he has incredible energy cycling for himself and the ability to feed energy to others through his A4 talent. He should generally be built like a sub-DPS and is pretty flexible in weapon choice (Stringless is his best 4 star option but he can work with Favonius/Sacrificial, and he'll do fine with any of the 5 star bows).

Sucrose's main advantages are that she can produce a fair number of Anemo particles at C1 and/or with Sacrificial Fragments in a big burst (good for, among other things, feeding a Jean healer and possibly Xiao later), she can fully stack Elemental Mastery and do both okay damage and transfer her EM to other characters so that they get free reaction damage without needing to build EM themselves, and all her moves pull and cluster enemies together without taking them out of melee range like Venti's launcher and burst vortex. She should just stack Elemental Mastery and Energy Recharge, ignore everything else because it ultimately doesn't make as much of a difference as her level and EM do (she doesn't even really benefit from ATK or Crit stats in her support role). Be aware that EM is one of the rarest mainstats to get so gearing her will be harder than gearing Venti (who can just use the same DPS gear as anyone else).

C0 Venti vs. C0 Sucrose isn't a comparison. C2 Sucrose is Diet Venti. C6 Sucrose has a significant niche in being able to ramp damage in ways Venti can't (though Anemo Traveler can, notably), especially through EM sharing which is more valuable than it might seem, and I'd say it's a tougher situational call between the two of them. C2 Venti or higher starts doing too much damage for Sucrose's additional utility to really be as good; C4-6 Venti is so absurdly busted that no character in the entire game compares with him, but if you have Venti at that constellation level then you don't really need to care about Sucrose.

I like Sucrose a lot in certain situations where Venti is less convenient, but I have C6 Sucrose with an R5 Sacrificial Fragments so results not typical (without C1 and SacFrags she will have severe energy issues without a second Anemo, something Venti gives no fucks about). And Venti does so, so much damage; seriously, when his E is hitting for 12k and his Q melts anything you infuse Pyro into it, you hardly need to care that you can't melee said vortex.

Some genius decided that 90% of the original late game recipes would take 3-4 crabs each, and you needed to make 20-25 of them to master them.
