drat, even though I'd already read the text from it when leaks dropped, the end of the event still made me weepy. Good event.

I hope a future catalyst character uses a whip. 2/3 Guys just punch instead of doing any form of magic casting motions so I'm hoping they keep getting more variety.

Just some questions that I should really already know the answer to: Are sigils infinite? And do chests respawn?

They should just do what HI3 does where the weapon is just independent of what you use. Like take Luna. Officially she uses a cross as a weapon. However that never appears on her model or in combat, she just uses an eviscerator chainsword. Or Kiana whose every suit uses dual pistols, but only one or two of them actually use pistols, the rest of the time she's doing kung fu or using a giant sword or a smaller sword and one pistol.

Every day I toil away at the Aranara questline so that after I pass away, my children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will carry the torch to someday see its completion. The forest may remember what the hell is going on in this storyline and why I'm doing it, but I do not.

I hadn't really planned on this, but I might take the 50-50 on Ayato. The computer says I can probably (90+%) swing 4 other 5-stars between now and 4.5 even if I win. I actually already have Haran, because I had some pity tied up from trying and failing to get a Xiphos' Moonlight earlier, and wanted to cash it out last time he was running. (Engulfing Lightning was what I actually wanted, but Keqing and even Ayaka can also make good use of Haran, which is why I picked that banner.)

The forest may remember what the hell is going on in this storyline and why I'm doing it, but I do not. The memory of death has withered the land, creating blighted pockets that imperil anyone without a Vision to ward them off. A regular ol' ranger charged directly into one to rescue a kid from some loving Fatui kidnappers and got a big ol' snootful. It's cool, though, the aranara she adventured with as a kid has suspended her in a timeless sleep and it's not going to get any worse, but in order for it to get better you need a big dose of Aranara power, which is made out of good times with friends. So they're throwing a festival and want you to go out and make friends and have good times with them before you invite them back home. If you just have a vague objective of "have adventures with Aranara" there's an aranadventurer's handbook in your key items that you can look through the various chapters of to give you an idea where to go next.

I am curious if early release assumptions of "batches" of chests going out over time, which answered a bunch of confusion on people opening new chests from areas they fully sweeped before was true or not

Glide down to the ledge above that meddlesome tanuki and then climb down directly onto the chest. Put your whole rear end on that chest then open it for reals. Meowywitch posted:I am curious if early release assumptions of "batches" of chests going out over time, which answered a bunch of confusion on people opening new chests from areas they fully sweeped before was true or not Some unlock at certain AR breakpoints! edit: oh and sometimes they straight up add new chests to existing areas, but it's not often and it's usually not many. I made it a personal mission to fully complete every available chest in the game (not including those early event chests from like 1.6 and 2.2) so I have an unfortunately large amount of chest knowledge now.  There have so far only been two chests that I would have NEVER found on my own even by sweeping the entire map manually. Note Block fucked around with this message at 08:16 on Nov 28, 2023 |

It was like when Dark Souls first released. There were videos "proving" (read: not proving) respawning chests. Unfortunately we'll never get that again. Edit: Oh, and one beginners guide I watched advised strongly to comb the map for every single chest asap, since they'd respawn at <insert rank here>.

There's one in sumeru you get by clearing a specific enemy camp four times, as in you need to do it across four daily resets. And there's the 1.0 liyue one where you have to use geo traveler E on the head of a statue near the water in liyue (that one is my vote for most nonsense/hidden). And ofc there's the heart chest that requires co-op but at least there's an achievement tied to that one.

"Plop a geo construct on this statue's head", "go near this spot and a chest spawns", "remove this tiny spec of hay" and such.

Yeah after doing all of Liyue's chests twice now the ones I remember the most are just the weighted puzzles because they were always so annoying to swap in characters for. For some reason Starfell Valley is the only area in both accounts I haven't gotten 100% at and I honestly have no idea what I'm missing at this point without pulling up a guide

They massively buffed Navia's skill damage last week, and that change seems to have survived into the next build. I still have no idea how I'm supposed to build a team around her, but if they want to make her just do a stupid amount of damage so I can easily brute-force it, I won't complain.

valuum posted:I went hunting! Trip report: How fun! I love sweeping the map and hunting content! I also use the unofficial Genshin Impact Interactive World Map for keeping track of progress post-hunting or in the rare cases where I absolutely needed a guide because my total numbers were off. There are 1131* chests in Liyue and precisely half of them are bullshit. Here's a blog article from hoyolab regarding some of the weirder aspects of max chest counts, including the Liyue chests that count towards Mondstadt as well as other oddities: https://www.hoyolab.com/article/3639745 *the grand total is actually 1148, with 15 that are event locked from 1.3 and 2 that are event locked from 2.2

Up to 1120 on the counter with those last few ridiculous ones. Unless they merge our data with the interactive map it'll probably stay that way. ..then again I'll likely randomly run into a chest sitting plainly in the middle of a road or something.
