You eventually get to a room with an interactable spot you can't interact with and no way out/nothing else to do. Unless i'm missing something.

edit: nm, just stupid genshin being genshin things

Yep, just waggle the camera around until it accepts you've solved it. Great.

Also no, the dialogues are not going faster, even if they shortened the animations, it still takes ages to click through.

Got Collei on my first pull which is good enough to sit and wait till 3.1s banners. All I wanted for her was C1 and with the event reward it'll get there.

I will probably blow the guaranteed banner 5* on Nilou if she's with Cadence (And why wouldn't she be in the same banner as the dancer, just look at her name)

Nilou+Candace+Cyno kits have finally leaked. Cyno looks like he'll use deathmatch or maaaybe Kitain Cross Spear. Nilou will probably use the new craftable sword even though festering desire looks more fun. Candace can use favonious or black tassel.

I am having a great time exploring Sumeru.

I don't particularly want Tighnari, since I have so many bow characters already, but I see the event offers up a free Collei? Seems straightforward enough.

Yawn, dropped about 350 artifacts into VV conversion and got zero "usable" pieces. Not even a feather or flower. I wish there was a better system for recrafting, but I am glad you don't have to farm the elemental sets anymore.

What other QoL changes in 3.0 are there aside from more artifact sets being craftable that I might be missing out on?

You can convert ore to old wood 1:1 in teapot. Up to 10 team slots. Monayaka dash (+yelan/sayu etc) can go over more terrain. Can set bow horizontal/vertical sensitivity individually.

yep. i dropped in a little more than you and got a decent atk sands for my current main heizou, one dendro goblet that rolled once into crit damage and elemental mastery and another dendro goblet with no usable stats unless a dendro kokomi comes out

Oof, not liking all the restrictions in Nilou's kit. Might have to be a pass for me. On the other hand, Cyno's whole aesthetic has me going "hell yea" even though I'm not usually into hypercarries that demand long, uninterrupted field time.

Glad to see Candace joining the 4* party infuser club. I hope I can figure out some way to make her work with Chongyun, but she should be fun to play around with regardless. If she's on Nilou's banner though...

3.1 stuff is already leaking on reddit

Cyno: video, kit
Nilou: video 1, video 2, kit
Candace: video 1, video 2, kit

Some notes about the kits:
  • Cyno's burst is Razor v3.0, he pulls out lightning claws and unleashes his inner furry. But unlike Razor he does all electro and no physical damage. His skill adds 4 seconds to his burst duration with a 3s cd so he can stay electro-infused permanently if he wants to. He adds a bunch of flat damage to his infused attacks based on his EM so he is probably being pushed for quicken teams. Also he has a QTE gimmick! If he uses his skill at the right time when that giant eye appears on screen it gets bonus damage and shoots some homing electro bolts.
  • Nilou's skill does a 3 hit combo and then based on the final hit either shoots a sword beam and infuses herself for 2 more water combos or creates a lingering water pool that can apply wet after she swaps out. Her passive hugely boosts bloom reactions, but only if the team is 100% hydro and dendro units, so no Anemo/Zhongli allowed.
  • Candace is not actually a shielder, instead she has a Beidou/Yun Jin style parry skill. Her burst gives the whole team a hydro infusion, so I expect to see some funny reverse vape teams. Only 9s duration and 20s cd though so it seems noticeably weaker than Chongyun's skill. Also just like Chong it only works for melees so sadly no hypercarry hydro damage NA builds for yelan.

Hopefully Nilou's passive gets changed during beta, so she can be the queen of fridge teams.

Always happy to have new mechs to trivialize with a freeze team. Extremely flavorful to take down with Aloy in the party.

I'm very interested to see just how wet it is - if it's truly hydro samachurl levels of wet her optimal comp could be triple dendro. Her C0 damage doesnt seem that good so I think she'll maybe use the craftable sword + the -dendro res artifact set.

Dendro MC's skill is way more shallow than I expect and I keep whiffing it because I'm too far away. Gonna take getting used to. The burst is pretty rad though.

She's pretty nakedly designed for domains and abyss, in comparison to anemo and geo. I can accept it in the long term but it feels pretty weird how the hitbox seems to be a completely horizontal plane. She does do surprisingly high damage considering mine's at talent level 1 and holding the most terrible dendro% cup known to man. Looking forward to see how she does when she's kitted out well!


It's actually a 15 second cd and the duration seems to go up to 12 seconds with C1. It's an interesting kit, especially since she has a decent amount of buffs she gives naturally. One of the better 4s released after launch, for sure. Makes me wish Chong worked like this tbh...

I'm a little ticked off because the thing that drops over and over and over isnt even useful. Tighnari's drop is fairly uncommon. It's nothing like spectre goo and handguards though ofc.

I'm pretty sure there's actually different dialogue if you wander off early enough and find a Withering Zone (or the other questline involving them) before Tighnari tells you about them.

The grapple points seem a bit temperamental, more so than the Inazuma ones, but the Inazuma grapple points weren't always active so I guess they don't want to make them too easy to trigger.

Port Ormos music slaps.

I found one but there wasn't any special dialogue aside from the tutorial prompt. I did see some sort of plant being that Paimon was alarmed about but it sounded like I was sequence breaking a little there.

Gonna finally be able to play the new stuff tonight, since I had only preloaded things on my phone and I prefer to use the PC for actual new/story content like this (I use mobile for most other gameplay just because it's convenient and I can do it while in bed or on the treadmill*). This game benefits a lot from being played on a big TV due to the colorful visuals.

* this results in falling sometimes, but it is in my own house so it isn't embarrassing

Pretty sure this means I miss Dori because I'm not sure if I want Tigh bad enough to use a guarantee and I already have Ganyu and Kokomi and would be pissed if I lost my guarantee to either.

Please be first banner, Cyno. I'd hate to skip Candace and a chance at Nilou too.

What so you can loot the alts' co-op worlds? Keep in mind that they have to be the same world level as your main account....
Just pester some goons until you find one who hasn't rolled the new character and doesn't mind. Or wait 3 days to level cyno up... 2 whole loads of mats should be more than enough.
