drat this thread moves fast, thanks for the answers earlier. How do battle passes progress generally? I've skipped some dailies, and some of the weeklies seem like a chore right now. Just hit BP 24, should I start collecting Monstadt specialties or is it out of reach?

The weekly missions to collect local specialities are really easy, go look up routes for things that spawn in multiples like Valberries and Jueyun chilis and you'll get there in a jiffy.

I just became aware though, so it's A) is it possible and B) would I need to go all inn to max the BP now

GENSHINGIFT is working again!

Hurray, thanks!

Finished the quests a little while ago, at AR 43 atm and Razor is still owning absolutely everything with phys damage. Is there a hard shift at the next WL or is he just considered boring or something? I dont even have a 4 piece gladiator with +atk yet, let alone 5* artifacts.

Got really lucky on this banner, got my first Bennett and 2 extras! He's bloody brilliant, and that burst charges amazingly fast.

Wow that new co-op event is annoying. Missed it by literally 1 hit on the first try, then proceeded to get more annoyed and fail harder. What are the rewards for clearing it?

The hypostasis event is bad and horrible since timed bosses who have brief and widely spaced periods of vulnerability are just a way to get frustrated by RNG loving you. Timed content in general is bad anyway which is why the Abyss sucks too. :colbert:

Also it's really shown how lovely and underleveled my artifacts are and that I need to get off my rear end to get most of these above 12, let alone to 20. But it's so obnoxious to swap artifact sets between characters right now I can't help but raise a bunch instead...

Perfect post with good opinions. I just go in and stomp them for something like 1k and leave. Even that will take longer than bloody necessary because of all the invulnerabilities.

Gah, I would've tried harder on Ganyu's banner if I had thought it out more and realized that she would trivialize Oceanid.

Welp, nothing left to do but throw my last roll at Keqing's banner and hope for an extra Ning to finally hit C6.

But but.. Ning makes it even easier?? You dont have to aim, you get shields, listen to some yadayada, done.

Even with low talent levels and underleveled char/weapon hutao does a ton of damage. She kills poo poo much quicker than my level 90 diluc with an 80 wolf's gravestone. As long as you manage your stamina she is pretty great.

This is the exact opposite of my experience (at low levels). She does a lot less damage than ning/razor/ganyu and is way more finicky. I'm fairly disappointed and wondering whether or not to bother with levelling her and her things up fully.

I'm not sure how it's possible for your razor to outdamage Hu Tao. Her numbers are just bigger, she just plain does more damage than anyone besides Ganyu (power creep is here). She's possibly the most level-dependent character in the game, is that the problem?

Glad to hear it gets better/great, definitely sounds like a level problem. Only had a 50/50 of getting her so I didnt want to pre-farm disappointmentthe new mats, which she needs a lot of.

Hu does a lot of damage, but I'm not really enjoying using her so far. In my experience she's too finicky, frail and e doesnt last long enough to be the main dps. Might just be a playstyle thing, but I'm relagating her to sub dps on the Ganyu team.

I think the feature I want more than anything in this game is to be able to mark artifacts as fodder from the reward screen. I know full well that the Def % maiden hat with flat def, flat atk, and flat HP is never getting any investment, just let me mark it for fodder, god drat

Oh god yes this. Didnt know it's what I wanted, but it's now top of my list. Going through artifacts to fodder is a giant pain in the rear end.

Man, some of the new gameplay elements are intensely annoying, especially when combined with old joys like wonky terrain interaction. Still absolutely loving it though, bought the login thing and battle pass because playing for free almost felt bad. I hope they drown in yens, yuans, moneys.

It's really unfair that you can be hit by lightning during long dialog boxes. The first time I talked to the naku weed guy, I nearly got yeeted off the cliff by successive lightning hits as he kept chatting at me.
