How do you guys have so many Billets? I have literally only the Sword one but I don't need the Iron Sting or another Rancour xD Darn RNG lol

---

Popping in here to flex my billets: 3 5 5 5 2

Never made anything since I don't need to but the bow ones are going to Prot Crescent if I get Ganyu

---

I'm sitting on 3 sword, 1 bow, 5 claymore, 3 catalyst and 2 polearm billets. I'm too scared to use them most of the time, I worry I'll need a forged weapon in the future and not have the billet I need ahahaha

I asked a friend who doesn't play genshin to choose a charactear for me to build based on appearance only. Her choise was Barbara! Luckily enough, I actually already had everything I needed for her. I got her up to level 70 with 4-piece maiden beloved main stat HP%. Barb is now my second built healer let's go! Spiral abyss about to become so much easier <3

Xiangling is now at friendship level 10 as well! Getting closer to that achievment 🎉

@Fahrenhiet
Aww that means a lot. I appreciate it.
And yes I use Lisa. She's pretty amazing not gonna lie.
The thing about Sakuras is. There so wide spread its a pain collecting them. Like other items are like clustered close together so they're easier to collect. These are just such a pain. A whole island of walking.

Also the bow is supposed to be a guaranteed drop on the 7th day as far as I know.
I don't have crystals either lmao. When will Inazuma expedition to collect crystals come. ;;

@Cjnazzy
Have you thought about the Amenoma?
It looks super cool. Is Ayaka's signature weapon. And is pretty great. Not to mention a katana so Heck yeah.

@Irene
Wouldn't the new bow be better? The hamayumi? You aren't restricted to just weak spots so easier to use. Plus you get normal attack bonus too incase you get a better bow for Ganyu so you can give it to someone else.

At least that's what I'm thinking of doing.

@guri
If you need a weapon then I suggest you do. Otherwise let them stay as billets.

Taavi: I haven't been caught up on new Inazuma stuff, so let me go check-

More info about the bow can be found here. And also how to get it.

@Fahrenheit
It seems it is guaranteed at the 7th day. I shouldn't be far now. Maybe 1 more day?

---

@Taavi: I actually don't have that one unlocked yet, I also haven't passed the Raiden Shogun fight, I got smoked soooo fast xD

---

@CJnazzy
No worries lol. I haven't either.
Should get the blue print by Tomorrow I guess.
As for shogun I'm taking my time with the story. I'm still cleansing the sakura tree lmao.

---

The Tree Ritual was actually really fun, but maybe mildly frustrating xD But I can always look up where all the new Billets are

---

Guys I used my Ganyu luck on the wrong banner.
NOOOOO

I just did one 10 pull on the Yoimiya banner in hopes of getting any of the 4 stars cause I had none.
And Yoimiya came home.
I had 0 pity lmao.

Man I swear if I don't get Ganyu cause the game decided Yoimiya is enough. I'm gonna be super mad.

I can probably save enough wishes for 1 guaranteed 5* but I feel like I might lose the 50/50.

Well I got Diona too. I actually wanted her cause Cryo Shield. but I would have liked Sayu more tbh.

---

I'm a bit nervous about hitting a 5*, I'm guaranteed the premium character if I hit it and I wanted to save it for a future character or I want to save because I'm curious about what they'll do for the 1st year anniversary.

I will be trying in Yoimiya's banner when it comes out later (it's not out here until for another 6-7 hours), I really would love Sayu and maybe another Diona (She's at C5 and I'd love to complete her constellation) and I have 63 wishes saved to attempt it and my pity is around 24 I think.. so fingers crossed I guess ^^;

I would have had 73 but I did a 10 pull in the weapon banner and got my first weapon banner 5*, I got the sword! I think that was around 60-ish pity, I've only occasionally put random wishes into the banner so it's nice to see a 5* after all this time aha. In that 10 pull I also got the Stringless which was my first one, I've been dying for this bow for such a long time and I can't believe it has taken nearly a year of playing to get a single one e__e .. but at least now my Venti has the bow I wanted for him, that random 10 pull was really worth it for once ;w;

@Makabe
If you have the guaranteed banner character then honestly I'd suggest not pulling at all. Unless you actually want Yoimiya.

I only did the 10 pull cause I had no guarantee and was at 0 pity lol. So I was like there can never be a 5* in this pull so I'm just building pity. Guess not lmao.

I'll only pull in the weapon banner when there's 2 5* I actually want. Like an aquilla or something. And am not saving for a character. So in short never.

---

@Taavi; I really wanted to have all the anemo and geo characters since those are my favourite elements to play as and Sayu is so cute, I've been excited to try her out and saved a bunch of things for her ;w;
I'm only at 24 pity and I don't think I'll get "lucky" with a 5*, I haven't been that lucky with the gacha system so I'm kind of like 'why would it start now' xD
I'm not really interested in Yoimiya, she's sweet and bubbly and there's nothing wrong with that but she's not for me >w< Sayu will more than likely go into the standard banner like every other 4* introduced but I rarely put into that since if I do then I don't have gems for the premium banner and I think I'll be a bit too impatient to wait for months for her to be a promoted character again.

tbh, a 5* at zero pity is still pretty impressive o: But it's unfortunate that you now have to contend with 50/50, that's the thing I fear at the moment. The only upside for me is that I don't have an interest in the up coming 5*'s and I think the characters I want are rumoured to be 4* (I won't mention who though because spoilers and unconfirmed but I have my fingers crossed it's true ahh)

I have missed weapons I wanted a few times because I'm too focused on other banners, I'd have loved Vortex Vanquisher and Staff of Homa.
Up until I got the new sword, I only had 2 5* weapons so it's kinnda nice to have a 3rd finally :D I plan on reworking Kazuha for it, the sword works better with characters that infuse their weapons with an element - like Ayaka who I assumed this weapon might have been aimed at - Kazuha can infuse his weapon and even if I don't, I team him with Bennett who gives characters pyro damage. (One of my 5* is aquilla, I got it in the standard banner one time when throwing the wishes the game gives you into it)

I don't know why I always ramble so much but long story short, I think I'm going to try for Sayu and hope for the best?

I only got lucky once before on the standard banner. 6 pity Skyward Atlas. My only 5* weapon. Best in slot for Lisa so amazing.

After that I lost the 50/50 on kazuha banner. Got Jean on 50+ pity. I love her so not salty about that. Was pulling for Rosaria in the banner.

Then I got Ayaka on 76 pity. She was guaranteed cause I lost the previous pity.

So my luck isn't that good. But it shines sometimes. Just on the wrong things lmao.

If you want Sayu. Pull. I'll be wishing you luck.
I'm not gonna pull again nope. Sayu and Xinyan gotta wait. Sorry girls.

I'm gonna try for Sara on the Baal banner. Cause Sara is officially claimed to be a 4* so maybe I'll get lucky with her.
If not I can't get two back to back 5*s on the 0 pity can I? lol so it'll just build pity for Ganyu.
If I do get lucky and pull a 5* it'll either give me Baal. Which I actually like and will be my first Archon. Or will be off banner and get me a guarantee on Ganyu.

So we'll see about that.

I'm just so darn tired of levelling my characters. Ayaka just hit 60. Need to kill the machine for her ascension.
Then books and artifacts.

Then I'll start on Yoimiya. At least I now have a nice pyro character. Plus I have rust so thats great. But I have no water character so can't kill the pyro cube either lmao.

Exp books are rare lmao.

Happy Birthday to my best girl ♡

Yoimiya is arriving in 4/5 hours !

I have a 10 pull ready, really only trying to pull for Sayu since I have the other 2 at C6 already

Lowkey have been wanting to build Xinyan for a while - she was the first trailer character I saw - but I'm not sure how to-

My pity is also like 75-ish?

So whilst I won't be mad if she doesn't come home, bc then Baal is guaranteed

My 50-50 win game is quite good (if I do say so myself)

And I know that, despite liking her a lot, she's just going to rot with the rest of the 5-stars I don't use

There's so many pyro (and cryo tbh) characters, and she's another bow-user, but Amber's earned her forever space in my team ;w;

I'll keep trying for the bow, I'd like to try it on Amber - thank you, @Taavi, for the info !

Umm so after playing with Yoimiya in her trial run thingy. I quite like her. Not gonna lie.

She looks amazing. A whole lot better then Ayaka at least.
But she isn't that good a damage dealer I guess. But idk maybe I just suck at using characters lol.
But she ain't half bad.

Love her design though.

Can I get a nice Ayaka skin soon please? Possibly not only P2P.

Maybe something like this.


(Credit to the original artist. I just took it off of Google. I think)

I'd love her then.

@Makabe omg Congrats on stringless!!!! That is the weapon I always sit and hope for every time I pull now, I dont have a single one and iv’e been playing since launch ;-;
My Venti demands the stringless he is stuck with the windblume ode right now. Atleast it still gives EM boost but the passive isn’t the greatest.

Personally I will be wishing in the Yoimiya banner. I’m at 17 pity and I haven’t gotten banner luck since the initial Childe banner where I got him at around 20 wishes. I really want contstellations for Diona. I love playing her but I only have her at C2. I’m also hoping to get Sayu, I am Anemo simp forever 🙏
Plus It’ll build pity for the banner I am saving for. (Wont name which Since it hasn’t been confirmed these two will be in the same one but it is highly likely) If I do somehow get lucky and get an early 5* AND win 50/50 I wouldn’t mind at all. Yoimiya is so adorable and I love bow units. I have a mission to build all bow units eventually. Only missing Ganyu right now and I’d have them all

@Taavi I’m going to guess all 5* skins are going to be paid only. We might get more 4* skins in events. I hope I’ll be wrong but I dont see Mihoyo being that generous and give out free 5* skins sadly 🙃
Also I hope Yoimiya treats you well Even if you weren’t aiming for her. May your luck carry over to Ganyu as well 💖

---

If they gimme a skin like that and I might just pay for it, because I hate Ayaka's current design. Well not hate but strongly dislike.

But I love both their kits and playstyle. So I don't regret pulling for her.
I will regret it if I don't get Ganyu but currently I don't.

Also if some strong player on the Asia server could help me beat stuff I'd greatly appreciate it.

---

@Guri; Thanks!! ; __ ; I waited so long too and my Venti had Rust for a while (my old build just went pew-pew a lot instead of making use of his abilities |D), I do use certain comps and a EM goblet but you can really tell the difference with Stringless, it's amazing!! I have that event bow too but I decided against using it whilst I waited, mostly because its passive was very.. eh. I hope one day Stringless drops for you too!!

Personally I think some older characters should get skins before the new and recent ones, let our early game babies get some love! c: Kinnda suspect we might get more summer skins if they are going to add more. (also wouldn't say no to a summer Traveller skin, I think all F2P players with limited characters would like that)
