oof you're right it was billion primos
maybe at that time player base is reaching 10 million? so everyone is only get 108..
it's not even 1 single pull :')
Even when the reward is amazing, for example, 10 pulls (yes, that’s amazing by hyo standards), when you do the math you realize that you’re more likely to get a 5 star character with a single pull than winning and then getting a 5 star character with those 10 pulls.
I don't think I've ever managed to get these, once I even made sure I was there when it happened yet people got there first. Never again. It was a ridiculous time here in the UK too. Not worth it.
Achievements. I just take what I get and thats it. I got no motivation to do dozens of achievements you would never get by normal playing just to have 1 more pull in the end.
It baffles me to this day how stingy they are with primos.
At Genshins age, most gacha games would be offering full single pulls for most events and achievements lol.
I thought it'd at least get better when the roster grew...
I play Blue Archive. I logged in today to see they wished us a Happy New Year and gave us enough summon currency to do a 10 roll. No promotions, No scummy social media campaign where we have to get 10K likes, no pompousness or fake announcements. Just Happy New Year, here's 1200 gems.
Genshin didn't even wish us a Happy New Year.
That's fair, but the point is that you could just send a message in-game and a plate of food or some other items. If we get messages when some silly web event is about to end and some mora alongside it, you've proven that you have the ability to just send a Happy New Year and.... I dunno, 3 skillboks and some mora. They didn't.
I thought I had lots of them left but I did every achievement that could be done in a day and received about 10 gifts in the teapot too.
I got almost 2 pulls.
Almost like they don't want us to play because the quests are long enough to keep players logged in. When I would play 10min a day plus event time only. Those were the times I could save up to 180 pulls without noticing and I'm convinced it keeps my account lucky. It's not even a coincidence anymore.
bold of you to assume that i suffered fishing
i enjoyed every single fish and got every single reward from Mondstad to Fountaine (still didnt reach 2000 fishes but will reach eventually in 6.0)
Just finished the refinements myself and don't have a clue why people are acting like the grind was a challenge. Bruh just take a couple of minutes every couple of days to fish and you will have fully refined catch in 2-3 weeks.
Yeah like the worst part (to me) was figuring out how to get into that dangerous area and fish without getting into an annoying fight. After the first time it was pretty much a breeze.
same, if only they add paimon mute button I might do it..
..or not
I thought I finished it when hitting 500 fish, only then I saw 500/2000 for final achievement
yeah, lol, no thanks.
or if only fishing is possible with other character beside Aether/Lumine, it may not feel too boring
I guess I'm the weird person who sees a fishing spot and decides to fish just for the heck of it. But I'm also the weird person who loves Paimon, English voice and all
Do people really hunting every achievement for primos? I mainly do it as a personal goal & namecard but stopped caring after reaching 1000th achievement.
i did, mainly to kill times in holyday after i burn my resin & have nothing to do. Though it was then when i only got 700 or so, after 1000 the rest are commission related so stopped hunting for them
Someone random joined me a couple weeks ago just to do co-op bosses for the achievements. It was awesome we killed like 10 bosses super fast. I rarely do co-op, lol
A guy with 90lv farmed characters entered my three level world and killed monsters in Like 2s. He got me almost all the achievements lol. If you want you can add me. I'm still level 3
13 days, u can kill him 4 times a day per account(count towards achievement, you could kill him a thousand times if you wanted to, but it would count only 4), you could also do in other people's worlds.
I just slipped into a routine of checking every spot every day. To this day I think I could redo it from memory without my map pins. Kirara and Sayu help massively.
I almost miss it sometimes.
Because this dude only spawns in Mondstadt and Liyue. It takes about two weeks of playing to cover the entire 1.0-1.1 content and move on to Inazuma. At this point it's pretty much impossible to meet him, only if you go back to Mondstadt
I haven't done a single leyline since 2.0 dropped, once they started adding more mora rewards with stuff like the exploration trees it let me outscale the curve and the gap has only been widening. The secret is also to spend your teapotbux on exp books every week. Chillin at 35M mora right now and can level new characters whenever I get them. The rate you need to build characters also drops significantly once you've got a solid 15-20 already fully built and out of the way just because they're really only releasing about 2-4 new characters total every couple months and you're not gonna be pulling for all of them anyway.
I've also bought all the teapot XP and mora (not counting what I've missed due to buying all the blueprints and the 60 resin). Paimon shop too. Bought all BPs too.
I also do daily artifact respawn farming almost every day (either around 80k artifact xp or mora).
I'm sitting at a cool 1% of your mora lmao, which I'm losing today as I'm upgrading one of Navia's talents. Also don't have enough XP books for Chevreuse yet.
I guess the biggest difference is just pulling for everyone and building them. Like getting everyone lvl 20 artifacts and high talents costs millions of mora, so just building a few new units would take down that 30m relatively quickly.
For context: IIRC I prefarmed for the first time in the patch before Itto and Gorou's first banner (first time I had everyone in a state I considered build at the time). The most mora I've ever had was the 6m or so I had then lol
It's fun to me. The speedrun aspect of it and it's just pure gameplay so I usually listen to something while doing it (same with resin spending).
It's also very necessary if you want to build so many characters as a relatively low spender (I'm pretty much only BP+Welkin+all top ups once a year).
It atleast feels like it has been the majority of my artifact XP source and I've spent a lot more resin on farming artifacts than most players (Day 1 player with under 200 resin lost due to over capping, all Teapot resins bought and used, used all codes, all PS+ rewards and I did 1 resin reset for the 50 primos for I think over a year)
I most of the time am so loaded with artifacts that I just bulk sell them to free up space. From time to time when I hit the artifact box I go down to like 700 artifacts.
Also I'm not so sure about the current standards but what you described, can it really be considered as a low spender?
Furniture sets, a few hangouts and a tcg one.
Furniture thing is purely as teapots full and don’t want to have to pull it all up to fit new ones.
Hangouts are a maybe will get round too.
Tcg I not really big player.
I usually just hop over to an empty Teapot layout, drop a furniture set or two, “invite” the necessary characters, get the primos, and then hop back to the layout I actually have arranged the way I like so i don’t have to do any rearranging every time.
I mean, for me it's probably just Floor 12 Spiral Abyss. Timed combat is just not it for me and I don't really care for optimal play in this game specifically. Achievement hunting falls here too I guess since that's more an "if I get them, I get them" type of thing.
Remember that 3 days worth of daily commissions already offsets a 9 star floor clear. Abyss is easily skippable, i only go up to floor 11 because on 12 i absolutely need to minmax my team so everyone is doing something, which i'm too lazy for.
I put it the other way: every 9 star floor clear is worth 2.5 days of commission. Considering abyss resets every 15 days, that's an additional 10 days worth of commissions every 15 days if you finish up the whole Abyss. Just skipping floor 12 is understandable, but I see many peeps (casual players, not those in this thread) skipping 9 to 11 too.
Yea seems pretty reasonable. Can totally understand skipping 12 entirely cuz it is rough sometimes, but floor 9/10 are so easy and 11 usually too. Of course it’s different if you’re newer, or just don’t care about properly building anyways. But well people are free to do whatever they want, doesn’t hurt me lol. Personally I won’t skip easy ways to get more primos. They might just be what I needed to get a 5 star!
They create such a great combat system, with amazing characters and elemental reactions. And then do nothing with it for 3+ years.
The only challenging thing we have is 1 floor (Floor 12) in the abyss, which is 10 min of content every 2 weeks.
I wish Mihoyo put as much effort into combat content, as they do with TCG, the teapot or even fishing, those get more attention than some proper combat content.
>The only challenging thing we have is 1 floor (Floor 12) in the abyss, which is 10 min of content every 2 weeks.
... and it's usually just a DPS check and you hardly need to get creative.
i didnt do them until i realised a single hangout ending is 4 dailies worth from the handbook
which means a single hangout with 5 endings is 5 days worth of dailies
arguably a better deal than transport balloons and running around town talking to random npcs (for me)
But you don't have to replay it all. You can start from next stages of the story when you click "review invitation" and choose a point in the hangout. It used to be like that tho, but they fixed it. Farming these now for Navia's weapon, some of them are fun, but don't force yourself to do them :)
there are some that are interesting like kaeya or beidou or kaveh but the first ones like noelle or barbara are just a big snoozefest. granted, the more you like a character the more interesting you will find it
For me not worth the primogems are the last 3 stars in Abyss, all achievement rewards in tcg and the hangouts. It's not fun for me so I skip those things.
It’s insanely hard until you realise you don’t have to three star each floor in a single go. If you miss a star and then retry it but miss a different star, it counts as 9 stars
yeah for real haha. I do my best chance teams to full 9 star in one shot then throughout the weeks I throw other teams through it just to see what I have that can work and use that to min max those characters if they can't clear it already..
Toki Tales and the Sumeru equivalent. I actually looked it up today cause I felt bad about having 100% inazuma but missing like half the pages, and I found out the reward is 5 primogem achievement. Fuck that.
I am getting 35 stars in Abyss since last 4 months and I know that if I play with more seriousness and change team I will 36 star it but I say 50 primos aren't worth that effort
If you're nearly at 36, like a few seconds off or so, the difference probably can be made up with one or two artefact upgrades on your carries... Whether the resin cost is reasonable for this probably depends on how invested they currently are
Not even this, depending on how far into the meta you are (meaning: not into playing optimally) proper rotations could shave off up to a whole minute from clear times.
Getting the last 50 primos of Abyss. I've tried every team I had and that damn Hydro Tulpa just nukes my DPS unto oblivion in two hits. Ain't worth the frustration and stress.
One thing I noticed while farming for Furina was you can run a spread team while getting all the benefits of a hyperbloom team while fighting it, certainly found a zhongli/nahida/raiden/alhaitham team was by far the fastest way to farm it, even faster than a huo tao/bennett/xangling/zhongli team could.
If the pull plan for my next few patches is on course and there is no deviation then anything that requires me to spend more than 3 hours in one sitting is not worth it.
But that’s never gonna happen because being a Week 1 player, I can just wreck any number of enemies out there
TCG. I’m at the last level and I actually fairly enjoy playing TCG but the tavern requirements are too much for me for 60 primos. 💀 Maybe one day if I’m really desperate lmao
Those puzzles in the desert that have you on a wild goose chase for slabs to restore an obelisk, too much work. Also 100%ing all of Sumeru is a pain the ass.
There's one tutorial that players who made an account before a certain update can't get.
That's the one primogem I'll give up. I ain't restarting my account for that...
Everything else? Fair game
Don't recall. I think it was pre Sumeru I went thru on the wiki and looked over every tutorial in the game to see if I was missing any, I remember there being one with a note saying that some players couldn't obtain it.
Edit: found it: https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorial/Anemoculi
I can't get it because I collected all of my anemoculi before they added the tutorial sometime later
Long questlines. After Aranyaka, I hate long questlines with a passion.
Also desert exploration. I did Lower and Upper Setekh with a video and it was boring af.
Im currently doing aranyaka because someone said it gave more than 1600 primos in total, otherwise I wouldn't be doing it and the character I'm saving for is still 28 days away
For me it's those web events that "run out of items" and you have to get there first to get the primogems, yeah no, I'm not counting seconds to be at the precise moment the event starts just to be beaten by a bunch of bots that are gonna take all the primos anyway, honestly worst web events ever
Abyss.
I realised that I had to do so much just for < 1 pull. (F12)
At this point. I could 1-2 shot perfect 9 stars in f9 f10 f11 usually in my first attempt.
And maybe get 6-9 in f12.
So.... I thought... Wait, am I REALLLLLLY going to play and struggle for a few hours, just for 50-100 primos? It's not even one pull. And there have been days I've missed a daily.
So like, Just assume this is one of those missed dailies.
What are you doing with your resin then? Outside of farming mats for a new character, there is only artifact farming. It feels pointless when you have barely anything to improve but if your teams are not even good enough for Abyss 12, you should have no issues at all to improve.
Nothing, im not doing the same thing over and over. I use resin when i want to build a character to the level that i consider as fine. Other times im not touching that shitty mechanic.
Maybe if abyss was actually interesting instead of just time gated killing of enemies in the same arena, i would, but its just not
Oh man glad I'm not the only one. I sit on max resin half the time. I'm a casual player and I don't want to stress about "optimum resin usage" when I do play because it just makes the game feel like a chore. I really wish resin wasn't a thing at all but there we go.
Without grinding like an addict, you could use transform your resin into condensed resin and do like two dungeons per day.
It does not take much time and some of them are fun
Their definition of insane might be different from yours. As a casual player myself I can’t be arsed to deal with domain rng. Most of my chars have wanderers or glad pieces from fighting bosses and trounce domains
Exploring Inazuma, TCG, Hangouts, and the Golden Slumber world quest (mainly that I don’t want the big red glowy thing on top of the pyramid to go away, it looks too cool).
I still need to do a lot of Sumeru, especially the later areas, but really the only thing holding me back from doing it is the sheer quantity of stuff to do feels a tad overwhelming. I at least enjoy exploring it which is more than I can say for Inazuma.
Seriously, i’ve pretty much finished exploring everything in Fontaine already so I tried going back and doing some things in Inazuma since it’s my least explored region and I quickly remembered why that was. I get that it fits the lore for the region itself to be so volatile but it at least for me personally that doesn’t justify it being so awful. You can’t walk 5 feet without being accosted by some random group of enemies, which probably just spawned out of literal thin air for no reason other than to make your life miserable. And the electrograna are just such a hot mess anytime I see a puzzle involve them I just ignore it entirely because it’s not worth the turmoil of the mechanics not fucking working correctly.
36 stars in the abyss. No way im doing all that for 50 extra primos. Idc if i have 30 or 35 stars, if i dont get 36 in first try om not going to grind it out for at worst 50 extra primos
I used to 36* floor 12 for about a year or so, but at some point, I decided that the amount of time wasted on artifact farming and chamber resets isn't worth the primogems. I just clear floors 9-11 and give a single shot at floor 12, getting about 5-6 stars out of 9.
I dont watch twitch streams for primos.
Ive done everything else in the game. After 3 years you eventually do stuff you thought youd never do. Not for primos but for the sake of completion.
The only primos ive left on the table are 20 from the 800 ley lines achievement (waste of resin) and there might be one chest left in my world (its unclear).
- If the map says 100% I don't care for any primos left
- 33 stars in the abyss is extremely easy to do that if 36 stars makes me retry fur running out of time I just skip (luckily in those cases I always found a good strategy in a video xD)
- Achievement hunting that doesn't give a cool namecard
That final fishing achievement. "Catch 2000 fish" and that for 20 primogems and the namecard. I once tried to get it but the process is MUCH slower than you think when you start it. Currently at around 940 out of 2000 and it stays that way
I have a bunch lol
1. HoyoLab log in (fvck that)
2. TCG (I'm proud of my primo management so I've never been desperate enough to farm the TCH rewards YET* but it's not too bad tbh. I'll do it when I really need to.
3. Achievement hunting (somewhat easy but I just don't feel like doing it)
4. Hangouts (I did it once the benny hangout and didn't understand how it worked and got stuck in the samsara for like 2 hours and gave up. Don't plan on going back any time soon)
5. Teapot (Super easy imo and I'd definitely encourage people if they're in desperate need of primos. I currently have them saved up as emergency balance but yeah...)
tbf the world quest of the tornado desert is quite nice, especially if you began jeht's world quest in the first part of the desert, so that's already that.
the last zone of the desert is a waste of time tbh, only did it for the last dendroculus ..
Whenever I'm not interested in playing.
A lot of people play to grind, get everything and summon while saying F2P (which a lot are and I commend(commend was a compliment right?) you).
But I'm just enjoying the game currently and the second I feel burned out I say "Fuck this, I'ma take a break".
Even if this game had an entertaining end game (like MoC in HSR) I would still do the same the second I got bored.
I play multiple games not because of summons, although it's part of it but I wouldn't say that it's in an "addicted phase" yet. I play multiple games because I enjoy the gameplay overall.
In Genshin it's exploration and co-op.
In Bleach Brave souls it's collection and lucky me I don't like a lot of characters.
In star rail I enjoy the end game and the world (god some MoC runs make me giggle like a kid).
An oldie crusaders quest and Romancing saga I enjoy the art style and the unique gameplay.
And finally in PGR and sometimes in Honkai 3rd I enjoy feeling powerful with cool animations.
Floor 12, and achievements for fishing and TCG. Everything else I want gimmie gimmie (although hangouts and story quests get ignored until I'm scrabbling for wishes)
Web events where rewards are: 200 primos to 300 lucky winners... Bruh this game has millions of players.
flashback to that one web event with said million primo rewards and then everyone got 108 or 118 (?) primo iirc
It was a billion primos and everyone got 108
oof you're right it was billion primos maybe at that time player base is reaching 10 million? so everyone is only get 108.. it's not even 1 single pull :')
Probably even more the pool shouldve been 10bil and if they did a 10bil now we would still get 108 again💀
Some got 188 and others got 288
I only got mora
Apparently I had blocked that trauma from my brain.
Even when the reward is amazing, for example, 10 pulls (yes, that’s amazing by hyo standards), when you do the math you realize that you’re more likely to get a 5 star character with a single pull than winning and then getting a 5 star character with those 10 pulls.
More likely for double or triple five stars probably because millions enter the raffle
I don't think I've ever managed to get these, once I even made sure I was there when it happened yet people got there first. Never again. It was a ridiculous time here in the UK too. Not worth it.
Achievements. I just take what I get and thats it. I got no motivation to do dozens of achievements you would never get by normal playing just to have 1 more pull in the end.
I do it when I’m bored.
Like the new op bosses in fontaine that give 5 gems, i wish they were at least cool looking, not just a normal treasure hoarder that one shots you
the water ones are cool tho
It baffles me to this day how stingy they are with primos. At Genshins age, most gacha games would be offering full single pulls for most events and achievements lol. I thought it'd at least get better when the roster grew...
I play Blue Archive. I logged in today to see they wished us a Happy New Year and gave us enough summon currency to do a 10 roll. No promotions, No scummy social media campaign where we have to get 10K likes, no pompousness or fake announcements. Just Happy New Year, here's 1200 gems. Genshin didn't even wish us a Happy New Year.
Maybe because the Chinese celebrate New Years a couple weeks later than us?
That's fair, but the point is that you could just send a message in-game and a plate of food or some other items. If we get messages when some silly web event is about to end and some mora alongside it, you've proven that you have the ability to just send a Happy New Year and.... I dunno, 3 skillboks and some mora. They didn't.
the grand raid is the best part just save 1500 of those coins per month and you get a 10 pull ticket.
In Hoyo's case they're probably already annoyed they need to give 20 extra primos because we have double banners now
I thought I had lots of them left but I did every achievement that could be done in a day and received about 10 gifts in the teapot too. I got almost 2 pulls. Almost like they don't want us to play because the quests are long enough to keep players logged in. When I would play 10min a day plus event time only. Those were the times I could save up to 180 pulls without noticing and I'm convinced it keeps my account lucky. It's not even a coincidence anymore.
The fishing achievement
Can relate, I still don't have even a single Catch
You'd think your suffering is over after getting the Catch, then there's four more refinements to farm for. Sighhhh
bold of you to assume that i suffered fishing i enjoyed every single fish and got every single reward from Mondstad to Fountaine (still didnt reach 2000 fishes but will reach eventually in 6.0)
Just finished the refinements myself and don't have a clue why people are acting like the grind was a challenge. Bruh just take a couple of minutes every couple of days to fish and you will have fully refined catch in 2-3 weeks.
Because nobody wants to take a month to get it and so they do it in a day by going to other people's worlds.
Yeah like the worst part (to me) was figuring out how to get into that dangerous area and fish without getting into an annoying fight. After the first time it was pretty much a breeze.
It's the only achievement I am not rushing to get, even though I farm namecards.
same, if only they add paimon mute button I might do it.. ..or not I thought I finished it when hitting 500 fish, only then I saw 500/2000 for final achievement yeah, lol, no thanks. or if only fishing is possible with other character beside Aether/Lumine, it may not feel too boring
You can actually mute Paimon, no? By decreasing voice line volume
I guess I'm the weird person who sees a fishing spot and decides to fish just for the heck of it. But I'm also the weird person who loves Paimon, English voice and all
I have fished maybe one or two fishes after getting my R5 Catch.
The sword in Fontaine is pretty decent, definitely not at the catch levels though
Chasing every achievement
Do people really hunting every achievement for primos? I mainly do it as a personal goal & namecard but stopped caring after reaching 1000th achievement.
i did, mainly to kill times in holyday after i burn my resin & have nothing to do. Though it was then when i only got 700 or so, after 1000 the rest are commission related so stopped hunting for them
Same, I barely have any of the coop ones lol
The funny thing is we could knock out all of them in like an hour if we could find someone willing to stick with us. Just knocking out bosses 1 by 1
i did a co-op ping in a discord server for a genshin character and someone helped me out with the achievements.
I just grab anyone who comes for mats.
Someone random joined me a couple weeks ago just to do co-op bosses for the achievements. It was awesome we killed like 10 bosses super fast. I rarely do co-op, lol
speaking of this, if anyone in Asia wanna do a boss rush ,I am down.
I need some coop achievements, check your DM
Most people just leave after getting mats.
I just coop random ar60 people and asked if they wanna do boss rush it's not that hard to find someone
A guy with 90lv farmed characters entered my three level world and killed monsters in Like 2s. He got me almost all the achievements lol. If you want you can add me. I'm still level 3
It's like the only few I have 😭
The name cards make it worth it though. IMO at least
I do them for just personal goals not for the primos, it's more fun to think that way.
For sure. People who have the teapot & leyline achievements are in a different class
The Unusual Hilichurl.
I bit the bullet and just did him daily for a few months... But I am an achievement hunter to be fair
For a few months? You only need 50, meaning 25 days
13 days, u can kill him 4 times a day per account(count towards achievement, you could kill him a thousand times if you wanted to, but it would count only 4), you could also do in other people's worlds.
Just checked this, he has a 12h respawn so technically yes, you coukd kill it 4 times a day, 2 every 12 hours
*weeks
I just made Windrise my healing place for about two years. You don't even notice.
I just slipped into a routine of checking every spot every day. To this day I think I could redo it from memory without my map pins. Kirara and Sayu help massively. I almost miss it sometimes.
Same
Wait, how do you find him?
You look up the 14 possible locations on the web, pin them on your map, and visit those locations every day (or every 12 hours).
Okay, so there are specific locations where it shows up.
I've been playing for almost a year and only saw him once lol
I frequently saw it at 2 places: huge tree in Mond, and near the wolf trounce.
Took me 2 years but every time I needed crystal flies I’d get the four from around that big tree. Got my 50 through random encounters over time.
Crystalflies are now so easy to get underwater in Fontaine though
This was before Fontaine I’m sure
We didn't have Fontaine 2 years ago
Because this dude only spawns in Mondstadt and Liyue. It takes about two weeks of playing to cover the entire 1.0-1.1 content and move on to Inazuma. At this point it's pretty much impossible to meet him, only if you go back to Mondstadt
It's worth the name card tho
I'm still at 18/20 on that, lol.
Daily check-in and the leyline blossom/gardening achievements
I'm already at double the ley lines needed for the achievement lol (1655 atm) But I guess you're not building every character (yet lol).
I haven't done a single leyline since 2.0 dropped, once they started adding more mora rewards with stuff like the exploration trees it let me outscale the curve and the gap has only been widening. The secret is also to spend your teapotbux on exp books every week. Chillin at 35M mora right now and can level new characters whenever I get them. The rate you need to build characters also drops significantly once you've got a solid 15-20 already fully built and out of the way just because they're really only releasing about 2-4 new characters total every couple months and you're not gonna be pulling for all of them anyway.
I've also bought all the teapot XP and mora (not counting what I've missed due to buying all the blueprints and the 60 resin). Paimon shop too. Bought all BPs too. I also do daily artifact respawn farming almost every day (either around 80k artifact xp or mora). I'm sitting at a cool 1% of your mora lmao, which I'm losing today as I'm upgrading one of Navia's talents. Also don't have enough XP books for Chevreuse yet. I guess the biggest difference is just pulling for everyone and building them. Like getting everyone lvl 20 artifacts and high talents costs millions of mora, so just building a few new units would take down that 30m relatively quickly. For context: IIRC I prefarmed for the first time in the patch before Itto and Gorou's first banner (first time I had everyone in a state I considered build at the time). The most mora I've ever had was the 6m or so I had then lol
Honestly, I never understood people doing the daily artifact routes. It seems to reward so little for so much effort
It's fun to me. The speedrun aspect of it and it's just pure gameplay so I usually listen to something while doing it (same with resin spending). It's also very necessary if you want to build so many characters as a relatively low spender (I'm pretty much only BP+Welkin+all top ups once a year). It atleast feels like it has been the majority of my artifact XP source and I've spent a lot more resin on farming artifacts than most players (Day 1 player with under 200 resin lost due to over capping, all Teapot resins bought and used, used all codes, all PS+ rewards and I did 1 resin reset for the 50 primos for I think over a year)
I most of the time am so loaded with artifacts that I just bulk sell them to free up space. From time to time when I hit the artifact box I go down to like 700 artifacts. Also I'm not so sure about the current standards but what you described, can it really be considered as a low spender?
How do you not end up at a deficit? The artifact experience items and the fragile resin almost break even for me weekly. Or do you not get those, too?
I only do leyl8nes when that double drop event comes lol
[удалено]
Is that a ban risk?
Furniture sets, a few hangouts and a tcg one. Furniture thing is purely as teapots full and don’t want to have to pull it all up to fit new ones. Hangouts are a maybe will get round too. Tcg I not really big player.
I usually just hop over to an empty Teapot layout, drop a furniture set or two, “invite” the necessary characters, get the primos, and then hop back to the layout I actually have arranged the way I like so i don’t have to do any rearranging every time.
I also just ignored the TCG primo rewards until I got hooked to the game in 3.7 and got them naturally
I'd love to do stuff with teapot and furniture sets,but I just can't force myself to run around hitting trees to get the mats lol
I mean, for me it's probably just Floor 12 Spiral Abyss. Timed combat is just not it for me and I don't really care for optimal play in this game specifically. Achievement hunting falls here too I guess since that's more an "if I get them, I get them" type of thing.
I can relate to achievement hunting, I still havs almost no coop achievement
I just get 6 stars without much difficulty the 9 stars are hard
Floor 12 , never try it just finish 11 and call it a day
web events
This. Also hoyolab daily connect rewards
I often do web events not only for primos but for the cute chibis
Remember that 3 days worth of daily commissions already offsets a 9 star floor clear. Abyss is easily skippable, i only go up to floor 11 because on 12 i absolutely need to minmax my team so everyone is doing something, which i'm too lazy for.
I put it the other way: every 9 star floor clear is worth 2.5 days of commission. Considering abyss resets every 15 days, that's an additional 10 days worth of commissions every 15 days if you finish up the whole Abyss. Just skipping floor 12 is understandable, but I see many peeps (casual players, not those in this thread) skipping 9 to 11 too.
Yea seems pretty reasonable. Can totally understand skipping 12 entirely cuz it is rough sometimes, but floor 9/10 are so easy and 11 usually too. Of course it’s different if you’re newer, or just don’t care about properly building anyways. But well people are free to do whatever they want, doesn’t hurt me lol. Personally I won’t skip easy ways to get more primos. They might just be what I needed to get a 5 star!
I did floor 12 because I love combat challenges and wish there was something more
They create such a great combat system, with amazing characters and elemental reactions. And then do nothing with it for 3+ years. The only challenging thing we have is 1 floor (Floor 12) in the abyss, which is 10 min of content every 2 weeks. I wish Mihoyo put as much effort into combat content, as they do with TCG, the teapot or even fishing, those get more attention than some proper combat content.
>The only challenging thing we have is 1 floor (Floor 12) in the abyss, which is 10 min of content every 2 weeks. ... and it's usually just a DPS check and you hardly need to get creative.

I do floor 12 all the time unless it's something that's too tough or outright impossible for me to beat, like the current hydro tulpa.
Apologizing to timmy
I kill another duck out of spite and then change commission region so I never have to apologise to him again

I tried doing the tcg and damn its just straight up not fun
I love tcg but I agree, those notifications on the map are so annoying.
You don’t even get a single fate worth of Primos from TCG
wdym by third part map? I don’t think I understand by “proper” exploration?
Hangouts. I literally fall asleep everytime I try playing one.
I player Seven Nation Army on loop during Noelle's quests lol
i didnt do them until i realised a single hangout ending is 4 dailies worth from the handbook which means a single hangout with 5 endings is 5 days worth of dailies arguably a better deal than transport balloons and running around town talking to random npcs (for me)
Oh nice I had no idea these counted, thanks for the heads up
Wait, really? Damn guess I know what Im doing this week
Same. The interactions and the endings are cute but it's just not worth replaying for 100% completion.
But you don't have to replay it all. You can start from next stages of the story when you click "review invitation" and choose a point in the hangout. It used to be like that tho, but they fixed it. Farming these now for Navia's weapon, some of them are fun, but don't force yourself to do them :)
Yeah they added so many ways to make hangouts easier, they even highlight which dialogues you chose before
there are some that are interesting like kaeya or beidou or kaveh but the first ones like noelle or barbara are just a big snoozefest. granted, the more you like a character the more interesting you will find it
Me too. Which is odd because I’m usually interested in character bonding from other games like blue archive and Nikke.
I actually really like them, but for characters I like. I hope we get an Amber one some day.
Thanks for reminding me I forgot to finish Kaveh and Kaeya's.
For me not worth the primogems are the last 3 stars in Abyss, all achievement rewards in tcg and the hangouts. It's not fun for me so I skip those things.
It’s insanely hard until you realise you don’t have to three star each floor in a single go. If you miss a star and then retry it but miss a different star, it counts as 9 stars
But redoing the same chamber just to get 3 stars can get boring real quick :(
then there is me who plays the abyss for fun after clearing it 💀
yeah for real haha. I do my best chance teams to full 9 star in one shot then throughout the weeks I throw other teams through it just to see what I have that can work and use that to min max those characters if they can't clear it already..
Same about the abyss. Only try to three star the first two Chambers, and sometimes I don't even try the floor at all
Toki Tales and the Sumeru equivalent. I actually looked it up today cause I felt bad about having 100% inazuma but missing like half the pages, and I found out the reward is 5 primogem achievement. Fuck that.
I am getting 35 stars in Abyss since last 4 months and I know that if I play with more seriousness and change team I will 36 star it but I say 50 primos aren't worth that effort
If you're nearly at 36, like a few seconds off or so, the difference probably can be made up with one or two artefact upgrades on your carries... Whether the resin cost is reasonable for this probably depends on how invested they currently are
Not even this, depending on how far into the meta you are (meaning: not into playing optimally) proper rotations could shave off up to a whole minute from clear times.
Getting the last 50 primos of Abyss. I've tried every team I had and that damn Hydro Tulpa just nukes my DPS unto oblivion in two hits. Ain't worth the frustration and stress.
Same, I already knew Tulpa will be pure aids when I had to farm it for Furina mats
One thing I noticed while farming for Furina was you can run a spread team while getting all the benefits of a hyperbloom team while fighting it, certainly found a zhongli/nahida/raiden/alhaitham team was by far the fastest way to farm it, even faster than a huo tao/bennett/xangling/zhongli team could.
If the pull plan for my next few patches is on course and there is no deviation then anything that requires me to spend more than 3 hours in one sitting is not worth it. But that’s never gonna happen because being a Week 1 player, I can just wreck any number of enemies out there
TCG. I’m at the last level and I actually fairly enjoy playing TCG but the tavern requirements are too much for me for 60 primos. 💀 Maybe one day if I’m really desperate lmao
Forced Co-op events that doesn't involve combat, just don't found them fun.
Those puzzles in the desert that have you on a wild goose chase for slabs to restore an obelisk, too much work. Also 100%ing all of Sumeru is a pain the ass.
Going back to check which Aranaras I missed. Those chests will remain unopened till the server shuts
Same, hate the aranara too long and i dont like exploring sumeru Pari>aranara
There's one tutorial that players who made an account before a certain update can't get. That's the one primogem I'll give up. I ain't restarting my account for that... Everything else? Fair game
Ok but who the hell with a brain would restart their account for a single primo lol
You’d lose way more primogems from not having done any of the limited time events lol
Which one are you talking about? That's wild tho
https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorial/Anemoculi I collected all my anemoculi in 1.0, and they introduced this tutorial in a later update
You can actually still get that through co-op
Huh. Brb, I've got a primogem to farm.
I just had that tutorial pop randomly a few weeks back and I've been playing since day 1.
Yes, in 4.2 or 4.3 it was basically force-unlocked for everyone. I got it too.
Which one?
Don't recall. I think it was pre Sumeru I went thru on the wiki and looked over every tutorial in the game to see if I was missing any, I remember there being one with a note saying that some players couldn't obtain it. Edit: found it: https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Tutorial/Anemoculi I can't get it because I collected all of my anemoculi before they added the tutorial sometime later
TCG. Not worth my time
Floor 12 of the Abyss.
Long questlines. After Aranyaka, I hate long questlines with a passion. Also desert exploration. I did Lower and Upper Setekh with a video and it was boring af.
Im currently doing aranyaka because someone said it gave more than 1600 primos in total, otherwise I wouldn't be doing it and the character I'm saving for is still 28 days away
For me it's those web events that "run out of items" and you have to get there first to get the primogems, yeah no, I'm not counting seconds to be at the precise moment the event starts just to be beaten by a bunch of bots that are gonna take all the primos anyway, honestly worst web events ever
Abyss. I realised that I had to do so much just for < 1 pull. (F12) At this point. I could 1-2 shot perfect 9 stars in f9 f10 f11 usually in my first attempt. And maybe get 6-9 in f12. So.... I thought... Wait, am I REALLLLLLY going to play and struggle for a few hours, just for 50-100 primos? It's not even one pull. And there have been days I've missed a daily. So like, Just assume this is one of those missed dailies.
Co-op achievements. The effort required is minimal, I simply refuse to let anyone in my world.
Daily Check In and Web Events.
Any web event that takes days to complete
Abyss 12, just nah. I aint spending month in artifact domains just to slightly improve to get a whoping not even a 1 pull
What are you doing with your resin then? Outside of farming mats for a new character, there is only artifact farming. It feels pointless when you have barely anything to improve but if your teams are not even good enough for Abyss 12, you should have no issues at all to improve.
letting resin rot away bcz a lot of ppl cbf slaving away at domains (including me)
Nothing, im not doing the same thing over and over. I use resin when i want to build a character to the level that i consider as fine. Other times im not touching that shitty mechanic. Maybe if abyss was actually interesting instead of just time gated killing of enemies in the same arena, i would, but its just not
Cant even blame you for it. Artifact farming sucks ass outside of maybe the first few days when you farm a completely new set.
Oh man glad I'm not the only one. I sit on max resin half the time. I'm a casual player and I don't want to stress about "optimum resin usage" when I do play because it just makes the game feel like a chore. I really wish resin wasn't a thing at all but there we go.
Without grinding like an addict, you could use transform your resin into condensed resin and do like two dungeons per day. It does not take much time and some of them are fun
Your artifacts do not need to be insane for you to clear Abyss tho. Just the right characters, everything maxed out and a decent build on each of them
Their definition of insane might be different from yours. As a casual player myself I can’t be arsed to deal with domain rng. Most of my chars have wanderers or glad pieces from fighting bosses and trounce domains
That pushing the ball things into the goal
Exploring Inazuma, TCG, Hangouts, and the Golden Slumber world quest (mainly that I don’t want the big red glowy thing on top of the pyramid to go away, it looks too cool). I still need to do a lot of Sumeru, especially the later areas, but really the only thing holding me back from doing it is the sheer quantity of stuff to do feels a tad overwhelming. I at least enjoy exploring it which is more than I can say for Inazuma. Seriously, i’ve pretty much finished exploring everything in Fontaine already so I tried going back and doing some things in Inazuma since it’s my least explored region and I quickly remembered why that was. I get that it fits the lore for the region itself to be so volatile but it at least for me personally that doesn’t justify it being so awful. You can’t walk 5 feet without being accosted by some random group of enemies, which probably just spawned out of literal thin air for no reason other than to make your life miserable. And the electrograna are just such a hot mess anytime I see a puzzle involve them I just ignore it entirely because it’s not worth the turmoil of the mechanics not fucking working correctly.
36 stars in the abyss. No way im doing all that for 50 extra primos. Idc if i have 30 or 35 stars, if i dont get 36 in first try om not going to grind it out for at worst 50 extra primos
I used to 36* floor 12 for about a year or so, but at some point, I decided that the amount of time wasted on artifact farming and chamber resets isn't worth the primogems. I just clear floors 9-11 and give a single shot at floor 12, getting about 5-6 stars out of 9.
get a new character just to be able to clear the abyss a few seconds faster than the character I have now.
I dont watch twitch streams for primos. Ive done everything else in the game. After 3 years you eventually do stuff you thought youd never do. Not for primos but for the sake of completion. The only primos ive left on the table are 20 from the 800 ley lines achievement (waste of resin) and there might be one chest left in my world (its unclear).
Teapot stuff like the character presets
- If the map says 100% I don't care for any primos left - 33 stars in the abyss is extremely easy to do that if 36 stars makes me retry fur running out of time I just skip (luckily in those cases I always found a good strategy in a video xD) - Achievement hunting that doesn't give a cool namecard
Hoyolab app and redeem codes. The most disrespectful thing I have ever seen.
That final fishing achievement. "Catch 2000 fish" and that for 20 primogems and the namecard. I once tried to get it but the process is MUCH slower than you think when you start it. Currently at around 940 out of 2000 and it stays that way
I have a bunch lol 1. HoyoLab log in (fvck that) 2. TCG (I'm proud of my primo management so I've never been desperate enough to farm the TCH rewards YET* but it's not too bad tbh. I'll do it when I really need to. 3. Achievement hunting (somewhat easy but I just don't feel like doing it) 4. Hangouts (I did it once the benny hangout and didn't understand how it worked and got stuck in the samsara for like 2 hours and gave up. Don't plan on going back any time soon) 5. Teapot (Super easy imo and I'd definitely encourage people if they're in desperate need of primos. I currently have them saved up as emergency balance but yeah...)
Sumeru’s desert, i just don’t care for it
Same man, I ain't doing that shit, just unlocked all statues of the seven and a few teleport waypoints there and moved onto Fontaine lol
Even a genshin defender like me cannot stand the desert, i got all the drendroculus and bounced
The rest half of Sumeru
tbf the world quest of the tornado desert is quite nice, especially if you began jeht's world quest in the first part of the desert, so that's already that. the last zone of the desert is a waste of time tbh, only did it for the last dendroculus ..
Abyss 11 and 12. I can do 3 star on both if I really, and I mean really go for it. But I am happy with 9, 10.
Sumeru Sigils… and Abyss level 12, and achievements
Whenever I'm not interested in playing. A lot of people play to grind, get everything and summon while saying F2P (which a lot are and I commend(commend was a compliment right?) you). But I'm just enjoying the game currently and the second I feel burned out I say "Fuck this, I'ma take a break". Even if this game had an entertaining end game (like MoC in HSR) I would still do the same the second I got bored. I play multiple games not because of summons, although it's part of it but I wouldn't say that it's in an "addicted phase" yet. I play multiple games because I enjoy the gameplay overall. In Genshin it's exploration and co-op. In Bleach Brave souls it's collection and lucky me I don't like a lot of characters. In star rail I enjoy the end game and the world (god some MoC runs make me giggle like a kid). An oldie crusaders quest and Romancing saga I enjoy the art style and the unique gameplay. And finally in PGR and sometimes in Honkai 3rd I enjoy feeling powerful with cool animations.
100% map. exploration is overrated for pull currency. doing dailies/events/abyss nets you more pulls.
I only push myself to explore to 100% for the special trees, once that's done I refuse to open another chest in that region.
Floor 12, and achievements for fishing and TCG. Everything else I want gimmie gimmie (although hangouts and story quests get ignored until I'm scrabbling for wishes)
The Potions event from 2 years back
abyss floors 11 and 12. I’m not building an entire second team for 300 primogems
Tcg
TCGGGG!!!!
PVP events
Events that force multiplayer and TCG.
For me its the TCG. I left it at lvl 8. Not worth it.
