I hit 1500 artifacts limit for a while now, all 5 stars. Really annoying, cuz I still need to farm for more, and every time it says "There's no space left in Artifact Inventory" after I complete a domain I need to go and find something not completely useless to upgrade, waste thousands of mora just to free some space to get another opportunity to actually get a good artifact.

I had to start deleting 4star artifacts from my storage due to all the domain runs now. Today I learned deleting them gives mora, which will be crucial for characters later on.

Hoyoverse posted another teaser of characters and environments, which showcased some of our upcoming characters we will meet. At long last, our Teyvat chapter preview character Cyno was revealed. He should be coming around 3.1 if the leaks are true.

Looking at his kit, if you’re looking for an Electro DPS, here’s your guy.

Deleting them feels inefficient
Pretty much all my characters still need better artifacts, maybe only HuTao and Yae Miko have it good enough, but Ganyu, Ayaka and Klee definitely need better ones. And my support characters for the Spyral Abyss (Diona and Xingqiu) definitely need those as well. Which means I still need a lot of "useless" artifacts to upgrade the good ones (if I ever get any).

Regarding new characters, probably gonna wait for Dehya and Nilou, and maybe green Klee (Nahida) as well. And about leaks:

Spoiler

I really regret knowing Nahida is Kusanali, because apparently that is a spoiler and we were not suppose to now about this

Yeah but having like 600 of them hogging space, and deleting 100 gives 252k mora, it's a win-win for me. I'm excited for Dehya, and thankfully, it looks like she'll be in a late 3.X patch, so Cyno + her won't break my wallet.

 

[Silent Drifter]

The AR grind is done. After doing todays event, daily’s, burning my 5 condensed Resin, and any remain resin afterword. I was 700exp away from 60. Did some ley lines and got to 24exp away from 60.

Thought about doing something fancy like some people have done, but decided that’s too much work, lol. Just went to the blacksmith and made some chunks to hit AR60.

 

[TetsuKobura]

Took nearly two years, but I finally got one of my favorite RNG commissions I’ve been hunting since the start. Anna’s disease is no more. Next up are a few hide n seek commissions for her and then a commission after that where she becomes part of the Adventurer’s Guild.
Miracle Medicine commission 3 times —-> Recuperating From A Severe Illness.

Congrats! Completing those RNG ones is always a miracle, just like that medicine she got. I managed to get this one relatively early, but it's been months since I started hunting Liyue ones with little to no luck.

See, I had it on Liyue for a while, but it frustrates the hell out of me. Sure, getting Geo Travel Diary and Cliffhanger done for that namecard were nice, but Diamond in the Rough not having a jade even with clipping, Good sign being too RNG dependent (need interpretation), and the pirate one (not the commonly known one, the story RNG one) made me switch to Mondstadt. That, and getting the wangshu inn commissions 6 days in a row didn’t help.

Honestly, at this point I just feel like I'm doing same ~10 commissions again and again, it's been too long. Maybe I should switch back to Mondstadt too, or Inazuma.

Yeah, I switched to Mondstadt too because I want to finish the final World Quest of the Mondstadt Quests, Equivalent Exchange.

 

[Silent Drifter]

Finally Yoimiya comes home. Granted she was guaranteed, but I really like playing her, especially with Yelan. Also decided to burn some wishes on the weapon banner, and managed to get her bow! I was debating on doing it, since I do have a R5 Rust, but I could use more weapons anyways.

 

[Silver_Wolf]

Well I am a little late posting due to playing the game too much!

I got Yoimiya on my FTP account (of course I would since it was not prepared at all) and lost my 50/50 on my main account to QiQi (again!) so that means I will have to buy some genesis crystals anyway to first obtain Yoimiya and then if I do go for constellations there after.

Two pretty bad luck rngs there, 79 pity for Yelan and then it was 75 pity to loose to QiQi and currently on 63/70 in follow up so my pity level really 'sucks' right now.

So my objectives now are rng domains on the FTP account, hopefully get the good artefact set and then the rest of the materials.

 

[Silver_Wolf]

Well my main account finally got Yoimiya on the 75th pull.

Given it's been so much work and I ended up getting Summit Shaper from my paid pulls rather than Yoimiya's weapon I will leave her at C0 @TetsuKobura is it worth building the Summit Shaper weapon for anyone, guides seem to suggest Bennett but I am not sure on this one?

 

[TetsuKobura]

Is it worth building the Summit Shaper weapon for anyone, guides seem to suggest Bennett but I am not sure on this one?

I don't have Summit Shaper, so I'm not too knowledgeable on who that weapon is good with. All I know is, just like The Unforged, or the Memory of Dust, it works better when your character has a shield active.

Ok thanks, I thought it would be the case of having a shield generator in the party, I'll leave it in the inventory for now, sure someone wil have a use for it in due coursee.

 

[TetsuKobura]

In case y'all missed the stream preview, here was a quick rundown from what I remember:

WISHES:
Phase 1 - Tighnari / Zhongli + Collei

Phase 2 - Ganyu / Kokomi + Dori

When Version 3.1 comes out, Tighnari will be permanently added to the standard banner.

EVENTS:
There will be a main event that utilizes multiple currencies, and will give out a free Collei when the proper accumulations are met. Alongside that is something involving the use of tablets during combat, giving sumeru talent books and I think weapon materials. Returning is the favorable Lost Riches event, this time with the option to receive a green seelie. Lastly, ley line overflow will complete the available content for V3.0.

ARTIFACTS:
There will be two new sets in Sumeru:

Deepwood Memories:
2 - Dendro DMG +15%
4 - After skills or bursts hit opponents, targets' dendro RES decreased by 30% for 8 seconds. The character equipping this set can trigger this off-field as well.

Gilded Dreams:
2 - Elemental Mastery +80
4 - Within 8 seconds of triggering an elemental reaction, the following buffs will be given to the player:
Same element as user of this set = 14% ATK increase
Different element as user = +50 EM
Each buff can be stacked up to 3 times. The character equipping this set can trigger this off-field as well. 8s cooldown.

TREE OF DREAMS:
This is Sumeru's version of the Sakura Tree from Inazuma. I don't remember if V3.0's hard cap is at 20 or 30, but it will increase as future updates come out.

WEAPONS:
There are 7 new weapons for Sumeru coming out immediately. The 5 star bow that Tighnari will use, and then a fish bow that I imagine will be locked behind fishing the new fish available in the Sumeru region. Alongside those are the 5 new craftable 4 star weapons, which will utilize a different weapon billet. You can convert existing billet to the new ones for one dream solvent.

UPDATES + BATTLE PASS:
Each update will now run one week less than prior updates. This means there will be one less week to complete the Battle Pass. To compensate for this, XP for each level will now only be 900 instead of 1000.

Hope y'all are ready to explore Sumeru in all its entirety, because there are reportedly 271 Dendroculus across the region, if the page on Honey Impact regarding the Sumeru statue stays the same.

Okay, I finally got Yoimiya via the Wish yesterday.

Yes, seems lots of exploring to do, here are my comments after the program (albeit a few days late!)

Ganyu is a welcome surprise but they had to put a spanner in the works! Was ready to get my first constellation for Ganyu but now I have to decide between her and Kokomi as with the update running 1 week less I only have enough time to gather Primogems for one 50 wish run.

One suspects Kokomi will win this battle since she is in daily use!

The 1st new artefact set is a given for Dendro based characters I guess and the traveler if I switch to Dendro but how useful will this second set be to anyone? I am honestly struggling to think of anyone it will immediatedly benefit, sure the atk buff will be useful but if it is sacrificing element damage I'm not sure it's worth trying to get any of this set!

Very happy my saved artefacts will be able to reroll into some sets I've been wanting so hopefully will get some good stuff next week!

Okay, I finally got Yoimiya via the Wish yesterday.

Congrats, I have completed the ascension to Level 90 for my Yoimiya on both accounts so now I just need to farm the talent books and a certain boss for the next few weeks to finish the Level 10 talents....

 

[RaY29rus]

I was shocked to see Kokomi there to be honest, cuz I was hoping to save primos until at least 3.1, but I also really wanted Kokomi, and already had to skip her once for the same saving reasons due to Ayaka banner. I guess I will see who's going to be in 3.1 phase 1 and then decide on Kokomi. New characters can get a rerun relatively soon, but Kokomi, considering it is already her 2nd rerun in a short time, will probably be out for a while.

Also, I wonder if we will see more new 5* in standard wish banner besides Tighnari. We still don't have a single Inazuma character in there, would be a welcome addition. Though, any new 5* in a standard banner reduces my chances to get Keqing.

If you go for Kokomi, run 4 piece Clam with HP, Hydro, Healing bonus, and absolutely no Crit rolls.

Also, save yourself a crown and leave Yoimiya’s burst at Lv9.

 

[Animedeaf]

Okay, I have collected all of the Electroculus.

Well the problem is getting Clam of course, I have had Kokomi since her 1st banner but she is still running no Crit Rolls Heart of Depth because you guessed it the game isn't dropping me any Clam always the Husk of Opulent Dream set!

AGH!

Thanks for the tip, I will do that though I do have plenty crowns as I have saved all the ones in game so far so I have 27 available...

 

[RaY29rus]

Big pain is hiding behind those simple words

 

[Silent Drifter]

Then trying to get lucky on main and substats, and even leveling up the substats.

 

[TetsuKobura]

Well, thankfully it finally happened. I became a master farmer right before Sumeru. The only “visible” achievement I have left is to get the Whispers in the Wind commission one more time.

27?! Dang, I had no idea we had that many so far. From what I remember, I used crowns on:

Hu Tao x3
Yoimiya x2 (normal and skill)
Xiao x2 (normal and burst)
Jean Burst
Klee normals
Mona burst
Xingqiu burst
Yun Jin burst
Fischl skill
Kokomi skill
Sucrose burst

Yeah this is one reason I've been reluctanct to triple crown characters, trying to keep a record of how many crows the game has issued out but I guess this thread post can act as that record now.

My Yanfei is ready for triple and once I sort Kokomi I shall crown her and then Ayaka followed by Yoimiya subject to talent books of course.

 

[TetsuKobura]

3.1’s characters got showcased, and finally we get our teyvat chapter preview representative!

Cyno - 5* Electro Polearm

Nilou - 5* Hydro Sword

Candace - 4* Hydro Polearm

 

[RaY29rus]

Played Sumeru for a bit yesterday after work and it's soooo cool
Also, now I really want Nilou and Candace and I really hope they won't be in Phase 1 of 3.1, because I really want Kokomi as well (what is this, Hydro party?) and I already had to skip her once for Ayaka

View attachment 1185941

So Candace is completely new right? I don't think I've seen info on her before, I'm happy Nilou is on the 3.1 banner's, she is by far my favourite of all the new characters I've met in the Archon story so her and Dehya is also right up there, really loved her story invovlement in Chatper 1 and 2 of Act III.

The update is beautiful! I am still taking everything in though but as I explore around I keep ooh and ahhh at how much detail Sumeru has and I really love the main city itself!

Suddenly my game builds have gone from Cryo being the mains to Hydo everywhere! LOL.

A definite 10/10 on the update so far and when the desert area is unlocked I am sure that will be equally beautiful and brilliant!
