Was Argenti removed before? I've mostly been borrowing E2 Acheron when needed! :D

I think I used Argenti on some clears and he was very good can confirm.

I think the ability to borrow characters is very useful! My Lingsha is up (for all she is worth).

I'm focusing on getting my traces to a point where I need the 4* materials to boost my primary 8 as much as I can still. I'll be worrying about Acheron ascension materials soon as well!

I swapped him out for Blade for a few weeks. He back now better than ever with the new set
 
Oh FYI my improved Argenti is up as well, he cleans any normal grinding domain almost instantly now. I didn't build speed so I recommend using a Sparkle/Bronya for full domain destruction.
I was going to grind for that new set for my Jingliu but decided I couldn't be bothered after all the time I spent getting her kit optimized previously. That, and the fact that I never have enough inventory space either and an more thoroughly fed up of having to decide about what rubbish to keep and what to chuck - how do you manage with the limited space without getting a migraine? Unless you are a lot more decisive with this 😅

I find it pretty easy. If it's a DPS piece first I check the main stat for pieces that roll into multiples. So if it's CR/CD body or SPD/ATK boot I keep otherwise I mark it as junk. Then I check the sub stats, if it has one roll into SPD, CR, CD I keep and if it has two or more I lock, if it has none I junk.

Same process for support relics but different stats. I also play games like Path of Exile which teaches you these habits pretty handily.

Yeah, I do the same but still forever seem to be hovering around the max. I'm clearly too much of a hoarder😔. Have often been tempted to just burn anything that I haven't equipped or leveled up.
 
I'm going to have to work out a system at some point as well! still getting used to what the sets even do/when you want to use them.

No expert of course but I think you want:
  • Right main stat (always true on hats/gloves ofc)
  • 4 substats if you can, think this is always better than 3 substats
  • Good/useful substats
  • % stats beat flat stats
After that I suppose roll in stages and see how the rolls go as even something that is good at 0 levels can be garbage with poor substat rolls.

So you can sort of filter out stuff on this a bit, and salvage 10 SSR items means you get the chance to roll a new one of the right kind even if you lack self-modelling resin.

Initially speaking I am mainly focused on getting right main stats/sets and then I'll look at rolling better versions for substats for my core 8 team. The team itself will change some as I pull new characters.
 
I've finally gotten 8 characters all with lvl 80 LC's and level 15 relics (granted some of these aren't ideal still). Relic farming and such will be a long term thing and I'll try and replace my worst ones first.

Working on boosting traces more now and then will gradually bring in some pre-farming stuff so I can get Acheron up and running without waiting around too much. I want all the outside trace nodes done and the middle until I need the 4 star materials at least.

I should also hit level 65 this weekend if I am lucky (64 and 5K / 25K xp), I've been clearing out some side stuff. I can see my next real power spike is going to be from getting some better SSR characters in essentially.

Outside of things like MOC/PF/AS what other things reset?

I note that some of the quests on the Zhanzhou world seem repeatable periodically?

Also the vendor at Cloudford sells a weekly box of materials for credits, and similarly over in Penacony I can buy 10 aideen tokens from Dancy over in Golden Hour. I've been using some of these to find missing origami birds.

Am I missing other things I should be considering trying to do along these lines?

That's all the stuff I do weekly (if you're really min/maxing you can buy the thing from Dr. Edward that gives you a free win on one of the games each week), you didn't mention the boss attempts but I'm sure you're doing them.

FYI feel free to add if you want! (ID: 700077574)

Thanks I sent you a friend request :)

I didn't know about the Dr Edward thing actually I'll go see what he has.

You mean Echo of War for the bosses with the 3/3 weekly tries? if so yeah doing those, and the simulated universe a bit as well (still some levels to get in these but I'll just progress those as I get the time).

Otherwise getting what I can in MOC/PF/AS but clearly can't full clear them yet at my power level. Work in progress anyway :)

Yeah I just have it as a goal I suppose, I'm not in a desperate rush for it and I need more characters/banners in general.

I'm approaching 300 pulls for Acheron and Aventurine and expect to exceed this count by the time these banners run, the more I think about it the more I think I probably do need Aventurine just so I have a decent sustain to pair up with Lingsha for now even though he's not my fav.

I'd like Ruan Mei/Jade besides these two for sure, otherwise it's a case of looking at what the new characters can do and deciding who to skip/pull based on my current team.

I'm hoping for Acheron and her LC at E0 and Aventurine at E0 (probable LC skip but I'll see what I have left and how good his other options are). Losing a 50/50 or so in that could hurt but I'm as well prepared as I can be without spending on packs :D

I did look at Genshin but I couldn't get into Zelda BOTW so glad I went with HSR in the end as it's more my thing. Looks great if you like the type of game though!

I've finally hit level 65, I have 300 pulls if I convert my star embers into tickets, so in a good spot for getting Acheron/Aventurine and hopefully having some left for the next characters as well.

I'm starting to gather materials for Acheron levels/traces/light cone upgrades as of today, so will do that over the next week or so as a focus. I can build Aventurine after I get him (to some degree) as Natasha is still OK for now.

Also milestone: Nothing in my mission or chat logs for the first time since I started the game about 2 months ago?!
 
Great Success

Got Himeko on the normal recruit 10 pull I had banked. I just do these every time I get 10 normal tickets.

She was one of the ones I wanted, I can't really build her yet due to other priorities and getting Acheron/Aventurine ready first, but I'll get around to gearing her up some once I have my other party members set up :)

She's great in pure fiction, especially alongside Herta, so great pull! Likewise, you will hopefully have pulled some, or possibly most, of her ideal relic set (ashblazing grand duke) when pulling for your DOT team's set (prisoner of something-something) which it is paired with.
 
I'll review what gear I have lying about and see if I need more pieces of it, possible I have some OK ones. Ultimately thought she'll probably be stuck at level 1 for a bit.

Looking at this HoYoLAB - Official Community I appear to have most of what I need for Acheron in terms of advanced materials (including for her LC) but the thing I am sorely lacking is the Spirit/Starfire/Heaven materials from the Nihility Calyx. The rest I think I have in enough quantities.

I'll focus farm that a bit whilst I wait for her banner to drop, and if needed I'll farm up some more gear if I lack the right stuff for her. want to at least unlock her main traces and have her functional quickly. Aventurine can wait a bit.
 
Getting ready for Acheron/Aventurine in just a couple of days.

I already have an alright set of planar items for Aventurine as I'll just steal the ones I was using on my phys MC (been using Harmony build instead and can't really see myself using her phys variant vs someone else).

Instead I did all 12 of the boosted planar drops trying to get a decent Izumo set for Acheron. My luck on this was pretty bad but i wound up with at least 1 OK option on the sphere/rope, but check out my count of drops after doing all 12:

Izumo sphere - 6
Sigonia sphere - 14

So more than twice as many Sigonia ones dropped! crazy. The ropes were more like 50/50.

Mostly been farming ascension materials but miles off having enough to max her out day 1, I think I'll have enough to get her and the LC to level 80 and make a start on the traces at least.

I don't mind the grind for levelling up characters and their traces much, as at least there's always light at the end of the tunnel with those. Let's not get me started on relics and planar sets though😅. Hang in there!
