Finished Aranayaka quest without guides or spoilers (or so I believe), and like 80%+ exploration for the regions. Just a few questions for after all that:
1) I am at 45/46 Teleport locations unlocked. Every spot on the map is lit up, haven't done Tighnari's story quest. Is this expected right now or is there something I'm missing like doing 1+ of each domain?
2) Where are the rewards/treasure chests for bringing the Aranara back home (guessing I'm at ~40)? I'm missing one Vasmrti flower right now if that's relevant
3) Where does one reference the book of pictures for the mailbox? I definitely started the quest in some form but don't see ways to reference it.

Just made something approaching a good friendship grinding limited team comp for La Signora. Fischl/Sayu/Collei/Tighnari

Sayu rolled in and triggered C6 Oz to go nuts and my eyebrows shot up so fast they hit the ceiling. The second phase was very tough on the other hand. If any of them aside from Fischl had above lv 6 talents it might've been easier.

if you put that name into google images you'll see lots of screenshots of Chinese period dramas with actors wearing them on two fingers just like ningguang does


e: here's a painting of an actual real person:
Empress Dowager Cixi, who ruled from 1861-1908 (that's surprisingly recent!)


Okay, now after seeing an actual example I suddenly remember the Earth Queen from Korra had those. I feel like I've probably seen them in at least a couple martial arts movies at some point but I can't remember anything specifically now. Probably someone in Dynasty Warriors Orochi 3 as well. Thank you for the post though, it's very informative!

1: The one I was missing was in one of the aranara mission caves, up north in the Chatrakam Caves area. The cave's under that big stone arch in the river, and there's little zip targets to take you up to the teleporter. The questline in that cave prods you to run straight forward and not go up there, which is how I ended up missing it.
2: Can't get there without doing all the pictures, it's behind the 10th. Also probably requires that seed from in the chasm, if you haven't gotten that. ↓
3: It's in the aranara book, the images are on their own tab.

Good timing, I'd gotten a commission (so I assume the rest of this quest is stuck behind more of those), and I'd completely forgotten about Mr. no-money-calculator man.

How are you seeing the total number of teleporters in a region?

It's probably the teleporter in this cave that doesn't show up on the map until you get nearby. You'll have to look around a bit.

Wouldn't surprise me if the reason for the weird boxes around the dream arches that are too huge to be just a single minigame area is that there's future content planned for them based around that travelling-into-dreams concept.

I figured that out. When you complete an arch and turn in the seeds, you get the sparkle effect.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTz3uNgeyVc&t=105s

Then there's a glitch that makes the same sparkle happen when a finished arch is spawned into the overworld.

https://i.imgur.com/vGT2sGR.mp4

The completed arch over there on top of the waterfall is spawning in when I cross a certain line on the map. When that happens, some stray line of code is making me sparkle as if I just finished the arch activity.

Thanks! Found the last teleporter exactly where everyone said it would be.

Did not know the book existed and now have 6/10 pictures and can work to find the rest, which will lead me to finishing the rest of the book hopefully/maybe.

Thanks for all the super useful replies.

Just to give you a heads up - if you're refering to the actual visible quests that they gave you, there is a lot of arana stuff left. I stumbled across some of it on my way to 100%ing areas, but parts of it are incredibly obscure.

So these are the most likely nahida leaks:



1000EM is really easy to reach without weapon thanks to EM ascension so I am still coping that she might get a low cost burst and protoambernahida will be real.

If nahidas consts are real then c2 doesnt seem nearly as busted as originally thought. A 20% average damage increase on core reactions is not the same as enabling the core reactions to crit natively. 30% def reduction on aggravated reactions is pretty good though for characters like Keqing and Fischl

E- also if nahidas personal damage isnt bad it might not be a bad idea to put in a zhong li in the electro aggravate team just to benefit from the shield and universal shred.

That one leaker saying it "makes bloom crit" was technically right but yeah I got way too excited as to what it could have meant. That C2 just isnt very exciting, even though it's strong.

She seems really C0R0 friendly given that she caps out at 1000EM and I'm guessing she doesnt actually do significant personal damage.

He looks fun and cool enough that I won't be disappointed to get him. Hypercarries just aren't typically my cup of tea.

Of course, it always hinges on how the trial feels. There's a few parts of his kit that sound odd/overcomplicated (like his A1), but maybe they feel right in practice.

They updated the daily check-in page today with a running set of extra 7 days of bonuses, the ability to make up for a missed day (by earning a coupon to do so by clicking on some of the hoyolab links), and a link to a 10 day "Gifts of Encounter" where you enter daily for a chance to win a welkin moon. According to the details 10% of the entrants get a welkin moon and the rest get 100k mora at the end.

Okay the link I had didn't work without the huge amount of stuff after the ? in the URL, but just go to the daily check-in page.

What does cyno even do? I'm going to be wishing on him but all I know is spear+electro and he's like a jaffa guard from stargate or something idk


I hope Shinobu gets better with constellations cuz using her at c0 her burst AOE is such utter trash that I never bothered leveling or using it. She really ain't much to talk about, she shits out electro in a small AOE and heals the active character. There are so many better options for off-field electro support and the only distinction Shinobu has is that Fischl/Beidou/Raiden can't heal. :geno:

People jokingly call Cyno the Electro Xiao but it's sort of an apt comparison on the playstyles. He wants to stay in his burst as much as he can because it gives him a new moveset with electro infusion and is where the bulk of his damage output is. His burst also changes his skill by adding a timing mechanic to it where it will get huge and powerful with precise timing. Basically an ominous eyeball glyph will pop up on screen and timing the skill with when that flashes will make the skill a big explosive AoE.

Other than that he has some passives that let him benefit from EM so he'll wanna build a hybrid of ATK & EM to really maximize. Aggravate will probably be his ideal comp.

Shinobu's gone up in some people's estimation with the addition of hyperbloom because she's an especially good hyperbloom team member. She likes EM already so she's a great hyperbloom trigger, her E's AOE and duration makes it really easy and reliable to trigger a lot of hyperblooms with it, and because hyperbloom teams have three elements locked in (hydro, dendro, and electro) it's nice to have some role consolidation with an electro healer.
