Windtrace is fun.

Anyways wish collection is going nicely.
I have 52 wishes saved rn with a guarantee and 35 pity.

So YAE is guaranteed.
I'm not sure I like her playstyle a lot but I'll pull on her regardless of everything. I just love her.

If only she can come Early I might just be able to try for Kazuha (or Ayato if I like his design. His design should be revealed by then right?)

Why couldn't Zhongli be after Yae lol. Would have loved to try to get him. But as things are I can't risk my guarantee of Yae for him.

I Pulled the Emo!

Haha how fun! Now ive gotta farm books for him :'3

I pulled at 90+ at got Keqing. Hiss, I don't mean to sound rude, but I really dislike her play style. Each of the trials I've used her in have been less than satisfactory. Oh well, her weird teleport thing should be fun to try and learn for exploration.

I think Xiao may be the second banner I pull on where I don't get the designated 5* (first being the previous Zhongli banner, where I had first joined in the last 5 days of). At least, if I understand the pull system right, I now have a guaranteed banner 5* on my next 90+ pulls. But, do I aim for Zhongli or wait...?

Windtrace is actually more fun than I expected. That said, I can't help but wonder what's goes through the heads of some people. I found one person just holding still on a mountain. Not moving or anything. I let them know that they might want to change positions and hide, and left once I got a response. Came back a minute later and won the round because they were the last one I needed to catch and they were still there, just jumping in place.

@Zhongli
Congrats!! Welcome to the material hunt squad. :")


@Nagalia
There's nothing wrong with disliking a character's playstyle. I don't use a lot of my characters because of that reason. Also grinding materials sucks. Sorry she made you lose the 50/50, though it sounds like you have good luck if this is only the second time. It does guarantee your next 5* on the limited banners will be whoever the focus/rate up is though! A silver lining at least.

Who knows? Maybe they didn't see a point in hiding since they were the last rebel. Maybe they were just having fun messing around. Windtrace is fun though I must agree. Even though I'm always the first to get caught somehow.

@Xiao

I can't say much about my luck on banners. I know for fact that I got lucky on Klee, Kazuha, and Kokomi- Getting Kaz within 20 pulls and Kokomi on the first 5. Klee was my 50th or so pull-, but the others were a little bit of a struggle. I nearly ran out on available time for Tartaglia and Albedo.

I pulled Klee because I adored her and it's fun to throw the her tiny Jumpy Dumpties around, even if they are near impossible to aim when you have an enemy right next to you (still adore her, I just don't get chances to use her much. She's fully kit out, too). Kazuha was because I loved his play style and it's far too versatile for me to ignore, and Kokomi was literally a "10-pull limit birthday pull on a dare" since I don't really use Healers aside from Qiqi (her debut banner started 9/21/21, it was too much of a golden opportunity to pass up on).

And yeah, I have a few characters like that- I think we all do. I only use poor Ayaka to bridge and help my co-op teammates cross water quickly. Half the reason I don't use her is because of material grinding. The other half is because I keep sprinting and messing with myself (part of the reason I hope to never pull Mona- what a waste on me).

Then there's Diluc, who I haven't used except twice when I didn't yet have Klee. He's level 70, which is strange since I don't recall leveling him at all.

I guess I understand the Windtrace thing.

I'm having fun with Windtrace, too. Some of the people are very kind and will show you around, despite being the hunter. Other times, you get people pissed they got caught in five seconds or hunters upset that someone decided to climb to a roof to hide. I kind of hope that MHY makes a permanent version of Windtrace for us.

I always feel bad when I find everyone in under 30 seconds because they all grouped together. Like... there's no fun when the round's over so quickly. I didn't even mean to trigger all three!

As a rebel.. I feel you. I tend to be the very first to be found also.

Hey again everyone!! I managed to snag a second Gorou before Itto's banner ended and my main team is now Albedo, Gorou, Noelle, and any other character that I need, but usually Xiangling. I'm having a lot of fun with them! I also managed to pull Xiao (won 50/50) and Yun Jin so I'm working on a secondary teams around them!

It's my first time playing Windtrace and it's pretty fun so far, though I've only played a few games; I've never been the Hunter yet, but I think I'm doing alright as a Rebel! I haven't won yet, but I'm usually the last one found or a very close second-to-last, which is something at least xD

Very excited for the anniversary coming up; what free 4-star do you guys think you'll pick? I might go for Xinqiu since I still haven't pulled him, but Yanfei and Xiangling constellations are very tempting, too!

I’m finally in the mood to work on my teapot, but though I play mainly on mobile, it’s probably better to switch over to a computer 😅 (also, saving takes forever and for no reason! Annoying!)


@Ralsei
Not really hoping for a specific 4-star. I just hope I don’t get another Xiangling or Barbara const since I’ve already unlocked all of their slots.

---

@Sin
You get to choose the 4 star you want.
And since its just liyue characters Barbara won't even be in the pool.

I'm thinking Yunjin. Just cause she and gorou are the only ones I'm missing.

But Xiangling or Xingui cons do sound tempting.

---

Congrats on the pulls, Ralsei!! That sounds like a fun team too. Totally jealous you have Albedo; he looks so fun.

I am definitely picking Xingqiu for my freebie 4*. A constellation for Yanfei would be great since she's on my main team, but I have tried for almost a year to get one Xingqiu and he has somehow managed to avoid me at every turn. Now I get to drag him home and complete my 4* collection finally. :)

---

@Ralsei
Aah I'd die for another Yanfei constellation but I'll have to go Yun Jin. She and Sara are the only 4* I do not have.

Looking forward to the latern rite event. I remember it being alot of fun last year filled with content. Enjoying Windtrace currently and while it is great fun I can't wait for the variety latern rite brings.

---

Yun Jin is the only [Liyue] 4-star character I have that needs constellations, as everyone else is already C6
So I'll more than likely be picking her as my 4-star

On another note, I did a 10-pull and got a double 5-star
Xiao came home, along with C3 Jean, so I have guaranteed pity again for either Zhongli or Ganyu c':

I have three days off from work now
So I'm going to get my booster shot tomorrow and then hopefully spend the rest of it catching up on the events ^^"

tbh, I'm just patiently waiting for Ningguang's skin so I can simp even harder for my triple-crowned queen ♥

Why is talent farming so hard man.
Let's not even start on the artifacts.

Like used 10 condensed. Barely got 2 gold books and like idk 40 silver ones.
At this rate its gonna be like ages till I can build my characters lol.

Prefarming for Yae rn. I think I'm going to stop her at 80/80 with 8/8/8 talents.
Crowning her is gonna take very long sadly.

I'll see if I can gather the materials before she comes then I might think of 90/90 her and triple crown.
But unsure about that.

---

You can always use the alchemy table to turn green books in to blue, and blue books into purple, and purple into gold.

I think that's the order, at any rate. Much easier to get Green/Blue books than it is to get Purple/Gold.

---

Ik and yes green to blue and blue to purple

But like to max a character you need 114 purple books, 66 blue books and a few green ones.
Which is like 100+ condensed resin if I'm not wrong (with average luck)

This is a lot more than anything else. Weapons. Ascension materials. Mora. Exp books.

Leaving artifacts which is RNG. This is the highest resin cost.
Leaving the crowns out of it.

---

Hmm. You know, this makes me want to experiment with my Gorou. He's still level 1, with no upgraded talents.

See how long it takes to get his talents maxed (excluding crowns), and keep track of how much resin I use for it.

Of course, do I include exp resin into that calculation or make it separate? Gah, too much to figure out right now.

---

Prefarming for Yae Miku Is complete.
I have everything ready to get her to level 80/80 with 8/8/8 talents.
I have a Skyward Atlas for her.

I’m proud of myself lol.

---

@Taavi
Nice job!!! I hope you get her early when she comes out!

Ganyu and Zhongli banners are finally here!!! Did 33 pulls in Ganyu's banner and she came home at 79 pity (gauranteed). I'm so happy, Iv'e regretted not getting Ganyu ever since her initial banner, she is home now 💖
I also got 1 Xingqiu (C2), my first sacraficial sword and 1 YANFEI (C1). I dont know if I'm more happy about Ganyu or the Yanfei constellation lol.

I might wait until the next versions banners get confirmed before I decide if I'll spend the rest of my primos on Zhongli. I'd really love to have him but it doesn't hurt to make sure I wont regret that decision.

Good luck to everyone pulling in these banners!! And happy lantern rite 💖

---

Congratulations on Ganyu
I'm quite tempted to pull on Zhongli and her banner myself.
But Alas. Yae comes first and foremost.

I think I've completed farming for her. Nothing left to farm.
The wait is killing me though.

The artifacts we will have to see after she's released to see what she needs. Pretty sure it's Shiminava set as it matches her.

---

plz I was trying to catch up on the Shenhe quest, so I could participate in Lantern Rite, when the new banners popped up! Totally forgot for a second!

I’m so excited to pull for Zhongli ❤️
Like, I’ve been waiting FOREVER on him. I have almost 60 wishes — hopefully it’s enough. Childe took me 90 pulls to get so I pray it won’t be the same situation 😭

At least with the Lantern Rite I can gather up more primos! It’s my first time participatin, and I’m having fun 😊

---

Happy Lantern Rite everyone!

I'm skipping Zhongli and Ganyu on my main; as an Albedo main who already has Gorou and Noelle, there's no reason for me to pull Zhongli, and I'm already raising tons of characters. I did do a 10 pull to see if I could finally bring Xingqiu home, and I did! It's very nice to have him for Hu Tao, and just as a fantastic support in general.

I did do some pulls on a side account, though, and managed to get Ganyu early (35 pity I believe, won the 50/50) and she's a lot of fun to use!! Excited to explore the events and just have fun!
