Genshin Impact

Overall... 300 gems. The first act gives 60 and the other two 120 each.

Dont discount dailies, events and the stardust shop. You can get some draws under the next banner still. You might be relying on luck a bit, however.

HOLY FUDGENUGGETS I JUST ROLLED TARTAGLIA AND DIONA ON THE SAME TEN-ROLL

...Yeah, that was surprising. Was not expecting that luck, I just rolled on a whim because you guys were talking about him here.

Anyway, uh, good luck to you all for rolling him as well.

I got Keqing instead, but I was mostly rolling to try and get more 4* constellations, so I don't really care.

I mean Keqing’s really good, anyway, and her kit makes her an absolute beast at clearing Domains.

Well, I wasn't expecting a Part IV for the event. The beginning got a chuckle out of me. I find Fischl a bit more endearing now :)

Yeah, I'm kind of liking her more now.

Just need to do two more meteors to get her notch in the constellation, and then I need to get Tartaglia up to the rest of my team - thinking about shoving Barbara to secondary team for that. After that I need to grind Beidou for a physical Electro attacker, and after that I'm done.

Introducing that one important character in this event was pretty neat. It actually surprised me at the reveal.

Meanwhile, I still have to rush and ascend/upgrade my main team because their level cap of 50 is the same as the enemies' levels in the large meteor waves.

Well, got my Solar Pearl to level 80. Back to having no mora.

So, uh, according to Zhongli's Character Tales:

... he's spent 363,200 mora buying stuff for the Parlor, then an additional 133,888 mora for dining with Tartaglia. Seriously, what kind of chopsticks cost 128,000 mora?

Someone needs to lock this bakakami up...

The ones we're using to drop things into the enhancement blender, apparently. Along with the chopsticks themselves. I hit my half-million weekly achievement today after maxing out one artifact. Zhongli losing his ability to manufacture mora is gonna cause some problems real quick.

Are we going to cause an economic crisis by consuming all the money in the world in our rampant quest for growth?

Wealth Blossoms pop up randomly, I think we're okay for now.

That being said, the economy must be in tatters if money generators spawn randomly every day.

Lisa's kind of a scary person huh...

Meanwhile I'm deliberating between saving up for Xiao or rolling on Zhongli's banner

Clearly mora isn't a whole lot like normal money, since it gets minted by magic, and gets consumed into nothingness by different magic. Using something like that for muggle commerce would cause a lot of weird stuff that you probably shouldn't think too much about.

Ignoring that last part, though, I can't really see an anti-capitalist message coming out of a gacha game in which the metaphorical version of the devs' home country controls the global economy. Then again, their god did fake his own death just so he could stop being rich...

Aight, just finished the story up to this point. Thoughts:

Ningguang is cool. She has what's basically a floating palace and basically controls all the commerce in the city.

That Childe fight was challenging but fun. I also love that one of his attacks in the second phase is just him summoning a big whale. Never got the hang of the one attack where he flies up and then Electro-attacks you, but oh well.

Man that last fight where we fight Oshai (?) was intense. I liked how it was a sort of tower-defense mission with the adepti doing the real work and buffing us as well. Even Ningguang having the Jade Palace Colony Drop onto Oshai was amazing to see.

I like where the story is going so far. The adepti trying to understand how Liyue has developed? Very interesting.

All in all, I am very excited to go to Inazuma. Is there any news on when the next patch is?

The next few patches are confirmed to not involve Inazuma. 1.2 comes out next month on the 23rd, and involves Dragonspine, the currently-closed off snowy region between Liyue and Mondstadt. Possibly maybe even a Christmas event at the same time. 1.3 is confirmed to come out in February, and will involve some sort of lantern festival event in Liyue, appropriately enough coming out close to 2021's Lunar New Year (which is on 12 February, 2021). If the six-week spacing between updates holds true and mihoyo stays on schedule, 1.4 will come out in March, though I don't think any info regarding 1.4 has come out yet at all.

Man, they're scheduling content updates so regularly, I wonder how long we'll have to wait to get a Venti Banner again. (Still want a Venti. Damn you Mona, even though you are great for traversal and have been an excellent addition to my team. )

Some random (but interesting) statistics from the Teyvat Times◊

I'm trying to figure out just why and how could a single player drown over 2,576 times... probably a bot account or something.

Either a bot, or someone's controller glitched out and they left the game running for like a week.

Been a while, but pretty sure I was in the 10% that wasn't mean to Timmie. And I definitely didn't pick the now-infamous "emergency food" thing. That one probably got so high because of rerollers.

The domains part shows two things: that most people quit playing relatively early (unless people tend to use that one to get extra runs for the battle pass?), and that people don't pay attention to the ley line disorder (Zhou II makes you explode whenever Overload happens).

Weirdest part of this is that people actually cook Mora Meat. Fried eggs do the same exact thing, and eggs are way easier to farm than meat, in my experience.

But emergency food is a funny line.

Also, meat is easier to get than eggs as far as I'm concerned. If you have any bow user you can just shoot the things as they come across your path, eggs are less common and comparatively out of the way.

I'm mean to Timmie cause I think he's a little brat. Thinks he can tell me what to do, the little shit.

I second the above statement.
