Well I have all these wishes but no Stardust and a personal vow to never grind for handguards or specter drops so I'm using em.

I finally found the best specter spot. Its in Enkanomiya, Kunado's Locus in the lower right. There are 11 spectres in the northeast of it.

Have there been any other major changes to the game or is the cycle the same as it has always been?

Fontaines pretty fun, lots of underwater exploration which is a nice change of pace, especially after sumarus "miles and miles of desert".

there's been some QoL stuff. you can get daily commission points by completing regular sidequests or opening chests, so unless you're tapped out on content you don't have to do the dailies anymore. and some random stuff like artifact loadouts (though the implementation is a bit jank.) but no major system changes

I feel like Furina and Venti would either be the best of friends or worst of enemies, what with them being the biggest hams in the world. They'd either click together or just outright hate each other for being overly dramatic theater kids (and I lean towards them not liking each other).

I do like the idea just sitting in the corner laughing their asses off while watching Ei stumble around after getting drunk off of one glass of wine, though

I mean Hu Tao's voice line about Zhongli is:

Zhongli looks young, but his personality is a bit dusty. Knows everything, but doesn't fret over anything. Hmm... Couldn't be that he's a...Hehe, forget it, whatever.
So she probably knows he's an adeptus but not that he's Morax. She'd be way more smug and coy about it if so.

You don't get glitter for a brand new character, but on all the dupes it just shows up directly on the duplicate character panel instead of in the summary at the end. The extra dust and glitter are only from 3* and 4* weapons.

Why isn't it all counted up at the end? Got me.

Neat synergy I didn’t immediately realise when I shoved the wolf’s gravestone on Diluc with Furina/CR/Bennett, I was seeing the last few plunge attacks suddenly jump up in damage more than I expected.

I think what’s happening is the swords “attacks against opponents with less than 30% hp increase all party members attack by 40%” is double dipping, increasing Diluc’s attack but also increasing CR’s which increased her plunge attack damage boost even further. Pretty cool!

No clue how you get near the 4.5k upper limit for CR’s buff.

It was an ok culturally appropriate holiday father-son reconciliation story starring the newest 4 star character. Normally I'd say you didn't miss too much besides some cute interactions you can see on youtube if you want. But unfortunately, at the end of the story Neuvillette gifted us a handmade Neuvilladle. And since you missed it your account has been incorrigibly bricked, sorry

The only thing I know about Fontane is from the Tiktok meme about "Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale" and all I know from that is... it sounds funny.

That seems to be the default assumption for anybody with wacky powers in Liyue that eclipses whatever a normal Vision holder can do. The Traveler is occasionally referred to as an adeptus by NPCs who aren't sure what the gently caress is going on with them other than "Supernaturally gifted badass who appears to have no Vision, so probably one of those cultivator types."

She has a passive where if she normal attacks after her e, for 5s she has geo infusion. If she hits e again, she immediately swaps out to the next character in order. You will hit e again on her 99% of the time unless you pull for her c6.

You have the most broken character. Use whatever electro and hydro you have, wait for (e.g.) shogun/kuki shinobu, furina/neuvillette, hyperbloom will be your friend forever.
