[@You_Ate_My_Soap]

@@FeralCabbageit’s common for genshin to change stuff sometimes. And for strange reasons. People kept on over exaggerating it but there was this one update that made it so that if you’re playing in China, the characters looks different due to quote and quote “CENSORSHIP” reasons

[@Sheevlord]

@@You_Ate_My_Soap They actually changed the NPC models for Jean, Amber and Mona in the game. If you're not in China you can switch between original and censored outfits for your own Amber, Mona and Jean, but that doesn't affect their NPC counterparts. Other changes are due to corrections of translation. For example, originally some text on the signboard at the Wangshu Inn used to refer to "director Hu" using male pronouns. This was before Hu Tao was announced. It got fixed later. Oh, and there was also that whole debacle with Barbara's EN voicelines. They mistakenly used the wrong takes for her voicelines originally. Those were more energetic and in my opinion better than the ones we have now, but since they don't match her tone when she talks in the story events it's obvious that these weren't the right ones. They changed them in version 1.4, to the dismay of many players. There was also one line by Keqing where she sounded like Sucrose. Not sure how that happened. It too got fixed eventually.

[@Vianarts.]

Loving this series!! I got a few tips that might be helpful: - The reason Amber died in the domain is because you jumped into the void. when you fall in a domain your entire party will take a small amount of damage- so if you fall multiple times your characters could die - You get 10 free standard banner wishes in your mail, you can find the mail when you click on paimons head (to open the menu) and then you’ll see a button on the side which is shaped like an envelope - dont worry about farming any artifacts until AR 45, after AR 45 you can get 5 star artifacts, before that it doesn’t really matter which artifacts you pick! Just try to choose a good weapon and level that - The “elemental tempel” where you get lisa has a lot of well, elemental trials lol- in that domain you can learn almost all elemental reactions! its a great way of learning the elemental system - Character trials are not limited to any level, the trial will give you a full team of leveled characters, so you can see which character you prefer if you don’t know which banner to pull on - different characters have different reaching areas for their normal attacks, skills (E) and bursts (Q), so for travelers skill you have to get quite close for it to work. usually when you are able to hold a skill, it will have a longer cooldown than when you simply tap it i hope this information was useful to you!! keep it up!

[@cherryblossom789]

Yes, do the character trials. You’ll get some primogems

[@FeralCabbage]

- Damn! Poor Amber XD - I've been told to check the mail, that'll be the first thing I do next episode! - Sounds good, thank you! - Thank GOD the elemental trials help me learn combos. I was confused by some of the comments and was worried I was never gonna get it xD - So should I try out Lyney's trial? - Wait, if I hold down the button it will do more damage? Awesome!

[@Vianarts.]

@@FeralCabbage - You should definitely try out both Lyney and Yelan’s trials! you’ll get 20 free primogems and the materials for their first ascension - Depending on the skill, it will either deal more damage or it will deal damage to a wider range of damage! not all characters have skills that can be held though

[@your.local_ghost]

​@@FeralCabbage doing both Lyney's and Yelan's trial runs will give you 20 primogems each along with some materials. The other trials are for 4*'s, they don't give primogems, but they give materials. You get a free Lynette at ar 25, so I would recommend doing her trial to get her materials (the materials given are enough to ascend someone once and get them to level 40). I hope you have fun playing genshin for the first time!! :)

[@Vianarts.]

@@FeralCabbage Also, it is completely normal that you are confused about the elemental system and which characters go well in a team, that is honestly the hardest part of the game- once you get a grip of the basics it will keep becoming easier!

New players that actually spend 100's of dollars have a worse experience, the game now has 70 unique characters with different kits and abilities. When you suddenly get 20 new characters day 1, you just get overwhelmed and don't learn and grow attached to characters you do have. The game is far better played at the start to have a slow trickle of characters, so you learn about them, both playstyles and personality, and pick out what you like while experimenting with new characters every so often. Once your deep in it and know how to play, you wont screw yourself over as much with a big spend, but at the start, it just makes the whole experience worse as you have to pick and choose from a large amount of character and weapon choices without knowing enough to make sensible decisions, usually having to rely on chat to build a team for the new player.

Genshin is like a collector's game for Completionists like myself. I will tell you, there's tons of things to see and do here, but since you've only just begun your adventure, my top advice is to savor the early regions. You just started so you have tons of places to go later on, but pace it as you feel it. Don't rush as much. You'll get more experiences that way. Anywho, if you enjoy doing 100% exploration, there's plenty of chests, puzzles, hidden quests, hidden achievements, trolling trials, and, if you are already done with all that, my personal favorite, out-of-bounds exploration to be had. Another thing, about that Archive. There are some creatures you have to kill to actually collect info on, such as birds (there's an achievement from actually hitting a bird in flight with your arrow). There are those you just have to see, like the cats and dogs. There's some you need to catch (like lizards and crystalflies). Archive items also include recipes mastered, materials and monsters, etc., as you have already seen, that's obtainable by just adventuring around. The number of entries present as of the current updates is 2191 iirc. I'm proud to say I've almost completed that. Now to answer your curiosity further, the total number of achievements, on the other hand, that you can acquire as of the current update is 1035. I have 985. Almost there, I guess? You can also get most achievements roaming so never not explore. 🥰🥰

[@FeralCabbage]

Yeah! I'm probably only going to start going out of my way for achievements/archives when I've completed the main story and most of the exploration. You and I are alike, though, we're both collectors at heart xD

I wrote another ungodly comment long, took me 90 minutes 💀💀💀 2 likes. Anyways, point is, I understand what it’s like to be a collector but sometimes, you have to choose what to prioritize due to many reasons. Just telling you before it gets out of hand, you’ll figure it out.

[@relykz]

I’ve watched the 2 of your past genshin videos and there’s a lot I wanna talk about. Randomly came across your videos and ended up sitting through the whole thing just because how comforting it feels - watching you explore the early stages of the game, not playing how it’s ‘supposed’ to be played (like chopping bushes randomly or attacking npcs), not prioritising the main quest and instead focus on every dialogue with the locals and characters, slowly but surely uncovering the lore… not only does it bring me so much nostalgia but it’s so refreshing to see you care so much about the story, interaction between characters, bits of minor details, so on. Also when you genuinely enjoy the gameplay we can feel your emotions man, brings that kind of bros chillin/hanging out/dgaf sort of vibe, that’s what makes your gameplay actually enjoyable to watch, with your smoothing voice as well. You’re experiencing the game the best way you can and I’m here for it, there are countless chapters yet to come, oh boy am I excited for future uploads 😂 also congrats for 10k subs (just joined the gang 🤟)

[@FeralCabbage]

Thank you so much! I always try to capture the exact vibe you're describing, so this means a lot!

3:07 That is indeed the fastest way of running in the game, but is uses a lot of stamina. Early game you can try bunnyhopping, which is limited to certain characters (Aether can do it for example), you just hold the sprint button and spam jump, even after your stamina runs out you will keep your speed. 5:35 Don't forget your wind glider! it stops your falling momentum immediately, but can only be used when you have stamina. If you are out of stamina, press the attack button whilst falling to start a plunging attack, which will also reduce fall damage or cancel it completely if you use it near the ground! 9:50 Wishing is mostly divided into 2 parts, limited banners and standard banner. Because you are a new player you also have access to the beginner's banner, which is discounted but limited. Your first time wishing on the beginner's banner will guarantee you the "noelle" character, a good character that can do just about anything. The standard banner is where the rest of your "acquaint fates" will go towards, it is a permanent banner with all the 4star characters on it and some non-limited 5stars (such as mona, QiQi (chi-chi) and keqing (kuh-ching) who you saw labelled on there). You can use your primogems to buy acquaint fates and pull more on the standard banner, but this is generally unadvisable seeing as acquaint fates are easier to get than "intertwined fates". Intertwined fates are used to wish on the limited banners, you can buy them in the shop with primogems gotten from all over the game, or stardust/starglitter gotten from wishing itself. You mainly want to save your primogems for limited banners as they are limited. Every 3 weeks or so, 2 limited character banners come around, as well as their respective limited weapon banner, saving your primogems for these limited characters is the best way of guaranteeing you get the ones you want (outside of paying of course). To explain the details of wishing in short : every 10 wishes on a single banner type (limited/standard/weapon), will guarantee you get at least 1 item of 4star quality. Every 90 wishes on a single banner type will guarantee you at least 1 item of 5star quality (all limited characters are of 5star quality). When you eventually do get a 5star on a LIMITED banner, the game rolls you a 50/50 chance of either getting the limited character, or a random non-limited 5star from the standard banner, if you are unlucky enough to not get the limited character, the next 5star you get on that specific banner is guaranteed to be limited. 12:20 The trial runs give you a.. well, "trial run" of the currently available limited characters, as well as some primogems, always worth trying a character before you decide to wish for them! 13:15 Be sure to check out the "switch" option under the weapons category, to see if you have better weapons available to give characters, higher rarity weapons generally scale better with upgrades! 14:45 The crystals are essentially music records you can use later in the game when you get your personal abode 17:35 You can hold left click to do a "charged attack" , which is stronger but uses stamina! 17:56 Baron Bunny is indeed a plushie based on Amber herself, made by Amber herself. However, it doesn't have a bomb inside it, amber merely uses her fire powers to detonate it (this comes up in a later character hangout). 21:07 Animals you can't kill don't need to be killed to be added to the archives (such as dogs/cats), but the others do 31:17 Be sure to check your mail! You get a lot of free stuff from there, including primogems/wishes 35:50 Simply standing near the statue is enough to heal/resurrect characters, no need to interact with it unless you are making the offering 37:32 Emotes are kept together with the other ones they were released with, if you're looking for kaeya/amber, check the first couple groups! 40:45 Hi Sophie! 41:50 You missed a chest behind that wall, the explosive barrels would have revealed it! And that's it, hope these things can help your understanding of the game a little. It's honestly been refreshing seeing a new player enjoy the game as I did 3 years ago and is showing me some scenes I can now link to more recent ingame events! I hope you keep enjoying the game!

some tips of overall game progression: 1 - upgrade the traveler, he's cheaper to upgrade than any other character and can be good later on 2 - save at least 1 copy on refinement rank 5 of each 3-star weapon, some weapons only drop from chests and if you waste them you'll never be able to obtain them again 3 - character levels and talents are more important than artifacts, so always use your resounces on them first

[@xHyakuya]

@@FeralCabbage hey there! i'm sorry if this is repetitive, but here's a quick deepdive on how weapons in genshin work: 1) weapons have 1* to 5* rarity - you obtain 1-3* weapons from chests, and 3-5* weapons from the gacha! 2) weapons all have: a) "Flat ATK", b) a "Sub Stat" , and c) an effect. 2a) Flat ATK varies for all the weapons, even ones with the same rarity! (This is only really important for Bennett, who relies on Base ATK [meaning, his natural ATK he gains from leveling and his weapon] for his damage) 2b) The "Sub stat" can be most of anything - energy recharge (which helps you get your Q/Elemental Burst charged up), HP, Crit Rate/DMG, ATK%, Elemental Mastery (which increases the damage of your elemental reactions), anything! 2c) The effect is where things get important for choosing between 4-5* weapons - some increase Crit, some increase HP, some increase ATK, its worth reading! Some have oddly specific effects, like the Black Tassel increases DMG dealt against slimes, and slimes only. 3) Weapons can be refined - that basically means, when you have double copies of weapons, you can refine them and the effect (i mentioned in 2c) will get better! Its usually the blue highlighted percentages that change when you refine weapons. The maximum refinement for weapons is Refinement 5 (short R5) - so you want to make sure to refine all of your 3* weapons to R5, and lock them! Don't use them as fodder to level other weapons! There are some examples of very good 3* weapons - for example: - Black Tassel, HP% Substat, is the best in slot (BiS) for Zhongli, who is mostly used for his shielding. - There's also the magic guide, which if I remember correctly, is good for a lot of healers (for example Barbara, which you get guaranteed for free after finishing Mondstadt!)

Be sure to claim the rewards that are in your mail before they expire.

[@vanphanti]

A few things :0 Adventure Rank (AR) is different from character levels! AR is the level of your account, and character levels is the level of each individual character. At certain intervals, your AR will cap & you’ll need to complete an ascension quest to continue raising it. The quest is just a domain that basically tests if you’re ready for harder content, because completing it also raises your world level, which is the difficulty of your world (higher level enemies). I wouldn’t worry about artifacts, specifically farming for artifacts in domains, until AR 45. This is because AR 45 unlocks the highest difficulty for them & has the best drops. That being said, the adventurer artifact set is still good for early game exploration! Equipping a full set (4 pieces) of this heals your character when you open a chest. You don’t have to farm a domain for it because you can get it from chests, and you don’t have to level them because you only need to equip them to get the set effect. There are more free 4 star characters besides amber, kaeya, and lisa! Current permanently free ones are xiangling, collei, and lynette. You can get the first two from doing spiral abyss, and lynette is just given to when you reach AR 25. Every now & then you can get other 4 star characters for free during events- there’s actually one going right now that gives you a free bennett, but you need to reach AR 20 (i think) to unlock it. Genshin has a daily check-in that gives extra rewards; you can find it on google! Don’t sweat checking in everyday tho, most ppl only use it for the monthly primos (60) anyways. On wishing, it’s advised to do some research & learn more about the characters on the banner (5 stars especially) before pulling. There are various factors you’ll need to consider- whether you like the character (obvi), enjoy that character’s play style (do the trial runs!), work well with other characters on your account, etc. Weapon banners- while they often aren’t worth pulling on, there are a few times when they are. (The one up rn is pretty decent imo.) Whether it’s worth it will largely depend on you & your account tho- do you want both of the 5 star weapons, are the 4 stars good, do you own other weapon options that work well for your characters, etc. If you have any uncertainty regarding a weapon banner tho, it’s safer to just not pull on it. If you need help gauging how strong characters are overall or for your account, there are plenty of content creators (often referred to as theory crafters, or TC for short) on youtube who provide good info! And on a final note, don’t feel rushed to “catch up” with late game players because there is an overwhelming amount of content in the game. Just take your time & have fun with it, it is a game after all ^^ I’m glad to see you’ve been loving the game so far! It’s always refreshing seeing new players enjoying the game, and i hope you continue to have fun with it!

[@vanphanti]

ooh, also, don’t use primos on standard banner. some of the 5 stars on standard are good, but value of the banner overall still isn’t comparable to limited 5 star banners. you’ll get standard wishes every now & then over time, and you can just use those instead of primos. you also have a chance to get standard 5 star characters on limited character banners if you lose 50/50

[@BlueSun_]

Sorry for not using proper timestamps but sometimes yt doesn't like that: 12/24 - I would recommend doing the trial runs. If nothing else because you get some primogems. Those are the main way you get wishes. Every little bit counts, especially if you are free-to-play (f2p) 31/08 - If you want to know more about Kaeya and Diluc's backstory along with other background info you can read the Genshin manga available for free on their website Combat tips: At the moment combining elements will be the best way to deal more damage. Example apply Cryo to enemies with Kayea then swirl that Cryo by holding down Aether's 'E'/Elemental Skill Having constant access to your 'Q'/Elemental Burst is also useful. You charge your Q with elemental particles that you get when you use your E on enemies. You will get more energy if your 'Energy Recharge' stat is higher. Using weapons and artifacts that give you Energy Recharge will further help with this

[@FeralCabbage]

- THEY GIVE PRIMOGEMS?? I might do that! - It's free on their website? I might do a read-along in my server or even on stream! - Swirl Cryo? Got it! - I understand now, I just thought it was on a slower cooldown!

[@You_Ate_My_Soap]

Yes, the trial runs gives you “free” primogems but when people say free, it’s always very annoying. Sometimes, they think everyone can do the abyss, unlock a billion more sigils or get 100% exploration after every expansion. Edit: I wasn’t talking about the trials, I had to edit this to explain that a lot of the time, the primogems you’re getting isn’t as high as what most videos tell you.

Hey, so i have a few travel tips to make exploring a little easier. 1. Swimming slowly isn't the best way. Try holding your sprint button and just tap forward repeatedly. It is quicker and very efficient. 2. When you run and you have almost depleted your stamina, spam your jump. If you time it right you can keep sprintjumping even without stamina 3. If you ever run out of stamina while gliding, you can just use a plunging attack to cancel the falldamage Hope these tips will help uou, Ad extra applesauce! Also a few long-term tips, As you said, don't worry too much about artefacts yet, just try to safe up fragile resin for when you reach higher levels. Don't spend your primogems on the Standard banner, it's not worth it ( it's the currency you use to get new characters). While I am on the topic, try to get Bennett, he boost your damage a lot and his healing makes you a lot more independent from the statues. If you don't get him don't stress about it. It's about exploring and having fun, not about gambling. Also, quite importantly, you should refrain from letting people into your world right now. There is a bug that allows players to permanently delete assets from your world. Hoyo should fix it soon tho. I don't want to be to pessimistic, just be careful about trolls. If you need food, north west of mondstadt, across the water, there is a little boar infestation, you can stock up on meat there. For fowl, just murder Timmys birds, he should be used to it by now XD.

I honestly love this content of watching someone go thriugh the game for the first time. Especially when there is somuch content that you can expierience instead of hitting a wall and waiting for the next update like most of us endgame players. I'm AR 56 and this just feels amazing, and slightly painful, to watch. Keep up the good work!

[@Pamasich]

I love your playthrough so far. Some tips I thought of while watching this one: - In the archive when viewing a creature, you can click on the magnifying glass in the top right corner to read a short bit of lore about them. - When you're falling from great heights, you can avoid fall damage by doing a plunge attack (attack while in mid-air). - You can add your own map pins to mark locations for later. Just click somewhere on the map to add one. - You can read what your character's skills do in the character menu. Go to "Talents" while viewing a character to see a list of their active and passive abilities. The first one is your normal attack, the second one your skill, and the third one your burst (ultimate). The remaining three are passive abilities: two combat-related ones that unlock through leveling up and one exploration/crafting related one. When clicking on any ability you can see a description of what it does, and for active abilities only there's a second tab to see its exact values like cooldowns or effect durations. - The different character models actually have different movement speeds (because of differences in animation length iirc). The tall male model (kaeya, diluc) is the fastest at climbing and running, but I think I remember girls like amber being the fastest swimmers. So if there's ever a situation where you can just barely not make a climb, you might want to try switching to kaeya and trying again. - Also I recommend checking out the book "Handy Handbook of Hilichurlian" Ella Musk gave us during a short event about the hilichurlian language. It's essentially a dictionary that lets you understand what those masked tribal enemies are saying. Its full text is on the wiki, I don't think it's available ingame anymore.

I like that you're not hating on Paimon, cuz lots of people are because they think she's annoying and stuff, but without her - it just wouldn't be the same

[@venny3892]

New players get wishes in mail (pause menu when you press esc, its on the left a little letter icon), you can use those on the beginner wish, since you're guaranteed to get characters from it.

[@siar073]

1. Every time you drown or jump off in a domain (aka die and get respawned somewhere) all your characters in your party will lose a bit of hp and lose all their energy (small particles u get after doing a skill) which u need for doing their burst. This is why ur characters keep dying randomly cuz they were already on low hp. 2. You can heal with the statue of the seven. Just stay near it for about 5 second and all your characters in your party will revive and heal. No need to talk to it. 3. WIshing takes 160 primogems for each pull. U get primogems from opening chests, completing quests and more. I recommend only spending them on the event banners. Never on the weapon banner at least for now. 4. Of all the characters u get for free, Kaeya is the best. Also for Amber, if you shoot her bunny it explodes without having to wait. However, if you don't shoot it, it will distract enemies. Go to the character list (top right) and check character talents to understand what their moves do ;) 5. Please level your characters and give them better weapons lol 6. When gliding and you do a normal attack, you will plunge. Now ur fall damage is decreased and u can descend wayyy faster. 7. The red thing around the chest doesn't mean you need to use pyro. it means it's locked. U got to solve the problem (Puzzle or fight). 8. Choosing what dialogue u choose doesn't really matter. Nothing in the story changes.

[@davidb6504]

Couple Tips for ya * make sure you keep resin moons for higher levels of artifacts. You need them for 5star Sets, Make sure You either get a dps secondary dps Support, & healer in the end of team, Can check out on other ppls what it means. abuse yer friends, Becouse if they already have caracters then you should make use of them so they can grind for you easy level up materials. Primogems are Something you deside for yourself. either save, or either keep for a 5star you think is worth to go to. There are infact broken to meh caracters depedning ur playstyle, so please do research to know about them first, aka play the event tryout of them. Genshin is fun but tyt w it. if you rush dialouge to get to a certain zone rn, for events its not worth it and it will just make you tired of the game. Take each zone Respectively, your time for.

[@dwaynejohnson5586]

Edited my comment so it includes more info, hopefully you get to read up on it. Swimming/Weapons/Reactions! Another swimming tip! You can either swim slower, but there's a way to animation cancel the sprint. Basically hold the shift key, but keep spamming W, it'll end up playing the starting swimming animation ^^ edit: white tassel, twin nepherite, messenger are weapons that you can get from exploration, and they can be really valuable! though I think they're available in Liyue, which is the region next to mondstadt! Edit: a guide to reactions! We have multiple elements Hydro (water) Electro (lighting) Cryo (pronounced like cry-oh, ice) Anemo (wind) Pyro (fire) Geo (rock/ground) Dendro (grass/nature) for some of the reactions, the order of applying the element doesn't matter! Hydro + Electro - Electro charged, damages the enemy (bounces between them if there are multiple) but also damages you if you're in a pool of water Hydro + Cryo - Freeze, note that you don't need to be in the water, you just need to apply hydro Hydro + Pyro - Vaporize! This is a very powerful reaction Hydro + Dendro - Bloom. This produces green cores, which will explode over time Hydro + Dendro + PYRO - Burgeon, If you apply pyro to bloom cores they will explode Hydro + Dendro + ELECTRO - Hyperbloom, if you apply electro to bloom cores they will explode as well! this is an extremely good reaction, currently very meta Anemo + Pyro/Cryo/Electro/Hydro - Swirl! This is useful for decreasing enemie's resistances Geo + Pyro/Electro/Hydro/Cryo - Crystalize - This will produce a crystal, and depending of the color it will give you a shield to a specific elemental type! Example, purple gives you an electro shield, blue gives you a hydro shield. Electro + Pyro - Overload - A pyro explosion, good AOE Electro + Cryo - Superconduct - Bad cryo damage, also decreases enemie's physical resistance by 50%. Generally wouldn't recommend this one, unless you're playing physical. Pyro + Cryo / Pyro + Frozen enemy - Melt if you apply cryo, and then pyro, you deal 2x pyro damage if you apply pyro and then cryo, you do 1.5x cryo damage Pyro + Dendro - Burn. That's it. Not the greatest, can be helpful though. Dendro + Electro - Quicken. An emeny affected by quicken will take more damage from next electro/dendro attack Dendro + Electro + Dendro - Spread - deals increased dendro damage on a quickened enemy Dendro + Electro + Electro - Aggravate - deals increased electro damage to a quickened enemy

So, I took a moment to write back because I had to check up myself, I've been away from genshin for 7 months, only coming back now, I'm definitely not the most knowledgeable person but I'm glad to share what I can! The manga is a prequel, and as I said, is good to read it after the prologue, which is the whole Mondstad part (Chapter 1 only begins on the next region). The manga only covers Mondstad for now and is great in exploring more it's characters, if you're like me and like Kaeya and Amber, even if people think their weak, you're gonna love it! It's very lore heavy, like most of the things in this game haha, but it's a simple and nice read. I read it all in one go!

One thing about the gambling: its fun to watch, but dont be pressured to spend money or focus on it too much! You can beat the entire game with the free characters you get (theres 8 free characters,and sometimes you can complete events to get other characters for free). So gambling is optional. All of the characters can be good if you invest time and resources into them, so dont pull for a character just because people want you to!

Add on to the wishing: A character needs material from specific regions to level up. Forexample Lyney(the fire guy with the big hat) needs material from Fontaine, a region you dont have unlocked yet.

who told you to focus on achievement hunting at the very beginning of the game? achievements will come naturally as you progress through the game. you'll find that many of these achievements are quest/AR locked anyway. just focus on progressing the story until you've unlocked enough content to play independently from the main storyline. you'll have days where you don't care about doing the main quests, so it's nice to be at a point in the game where you have the option to do certain weapon domains, reputation quests, side quests, and other activities potentially locked behind AR level. also -- if you find that you're falling and can't deploy your glider because of stamina, left-click to plunge. you'll take little to no fall damage.

Hey here are a few tips while still avoiding spoilers: Where you first started the game you can see an island in the distance, it won’t show up on the map and it has a secret quest on it, you can use kayea to get to it, it might just take a while You can find anemouculs ( or however you spell it) and give them to the statues of venti to get rewards and increase stamina( It also increase the level of the statue all the way to level 10 and the more you level it up the more upgraded the statue looks, btw if you were to collect every anemouclus and level up your statue to level 10 you would only have 1 extra.) Leveling up characters, WEAPONS, AND ARTIFACTS is crucial for beating then game. ( btw better the artifacts the better the stats and if you upgrade them early in the game you become over powered) You can check how much you completed an area on the map ( it maxes out at 100%) In Mondstat their is a giant mountain called dragon spine, I wonder how you could get to the top?

[@BNuts]

If you want to see gamebreaking exploration, Moosashi is good. He's doing a series of 'Traveler-san Only' videos, as well as a 'Blazer-dono' series for _Honkai: Star Rail_ . I would recommend being careful about elemental reactions on your characters, since they get affected even more than enemies do. In particular, you repeatedly fall prey to Burning, which has a slow but small DoT. Nowhere near as bad as it used to be. Getting Wet makes you vulnerable to other reactions, so you will likely want to be careful around water. Anemo does Swirl, which enhances the damage from the next element to interact with it. Except for Geo, which only has Shatter and Crystalize as its reactions, since it is the most stable element. Electro can stun enemies, but stuns always last longer against our characters. It's also important to note that elemental beings are always immune to their own element. Hydro + Pyro = Vaporize Hydro + Cryo = Freeze Freeze + Pyro = Melt Hydro + Electro = Electro-Conduct Dendro also has its own set of reactions, like Burning. But it only reacts with Hydro (Bloom), Pyro, and Electro. Mixing elements acts as a damage multiplier, which is how people who do the meta get massive numbers. But you don't have to worry about that yet.

Long comment for advice time. Statues can heal you but they can also run out of healing power if you drain them too much (which is insanely difficult and you'd have to try to do that) but the more statues unlocked, the more maximum power/healing you can get from them! Right now you're at 10k maximum but that number will go up the more statues you unlock Each nation's statue needs different Oculus (Monsdtadt is Anemoculus, Liyue is Geoculus, etc) and both Mondstadt and Liyue statues will give you more stamina. The max is 240 I highly recommend checking out the reputation places when you unlock them (Mondstadt's is Hertha) because higher reputations give rewards. One of Mond's and one of Liyue's are very useful (I won't spoil which ones yet because idk if you want those spoilers) Keqing is usually said "Kuh-Ching" (She'll have her name voiced later) Artifacts don't matter too much now but for later the best build for *most* characters (there are exceptions, usually healers) is atk% sands, elemental goblet (pyro for pyro characters, cryo for cryo etc) and a crit rate/damage circlet. All flowers have an HP main stat and all feathers have an attack main stat Elemental reactions are a massive part of the game, I highly recommend looking into them. Don't worry about anything to do with dendro yet because you don't have a dendro character and those are more complicated The stars/sparkles on the minimap are locations of the Oculus. They'll show up when they're nearby. They can be found using a compass (unlocked later) or you could use the Teyvat Interactive Map which will show the locations of Oculus, chests, collectable items, and a ton more (it shows anything you could ever look for) Every 10 wishes is a guaranteed 4star weapon or character. Every 90 wishes is a guaranteed 5star weapon or character (the people you saw on the permanent banner) Some characters are close range (Kaeya, Aether) and others are more long range (Amber, Lisa) generally swords/claymores/polearms are close range and bows/catalysts are long range. Barron Bunny is close range, though Each element has a color associated with it so if you can't remember the symbols, try to remember the colors. Anemo = teal, pyro = red, geo = yellow/orange, cryo = light blue, hydro = medium/dark blue, electro = purple, and dendro = green You can explore in multiplayer, but they can't open chests or unlock waypoints for you. You still have to get those yourself. Statues cannot be unlocked in multiplayer at all. Once everyone leaves, you'll have to go to the multiplayer menu and click the "back to singleplayer" button in order to unlock statues and also to talk to Katheryne The Gods have God names that are different than their human names (I won't spoil those) and the God names are very, very interesting in real life religious "lore" (I'm sure there's a better word, I just can't think of it right now) The Abyss and the Fatui are both groups of bad guys. The Abyss is the common enemy of everyone (including the Fatui) Don't listen to anyone talking about character ages, it's a whole lot of drama and extremely controversial. Very few characters have confirmed ages and those select few are usually gods. If you end up getting characters from other nations, you can use them by running to those nations and unlocking the statues there. There is one nation that you can't get to without doing the story (I won't spoil) but the rest are free game, you just have to run to them Some rocks are breakable and there will be chests/Oculi/seelies behind them (seelies are the glowing floaty things you followed before that gave you a chest) you can tell which piles are breakable by using elemental sight It's so amazing to see you experience the amazement of Mondstadt. It's magical in it's own way, but compared to the more recent nations, it's really basic. All of them are so pretty in their own way though and I'm really glad you're enjoying the game! Constellations make characters more powerful. Kaeya, Lisa, and Amber cons are really hard to get because they're never on limited banners, but you can get cons for the traveler (and other characters) fairly easily. Traveler cons are given through archon quests and statues Don't forget to level up talents too. Those don't matter a ton now, but they will matter a lot later. Talents also need specific materials to level up

ok so since you unlocked wishing let me explain it to you. wishing, as you know, is a way to get characters, 4 star or 5 star there's usually 4 banners you can wish for (2 event banners - they have limited time- 1 weapon banner - also limited - and standard banner - don't have limited time-) on each of these banners, you can get 4 star or 5 star characters (except weapon banner is only 5 star weapons but you can get 4 star characters) there's something called "pity" on genshin, it's like how many wishes you have to do to get a character or weapon. there is early pity (lower than 75 wishes), soft pity (75 wishes) and hard pity (80+ wishes). early pity is very rare to occur and it's something people really look forward to, soft pity is normal, not very rare and hard pity is when you get guaranteed for a 5 star (forgot to mention the pities i mentioned are for 5 stars lol-) there's also 4 star pity (character or banner),which are easier to get. there is only early pity (lower than 10) and hard pity (10 wishes) on 4 star characters/weapons, so there is a higher chance to get 4 stars than 5 stars. there's also the "50/50", which is 50% chance to get a 5 star event character/banner and 50% chance to get a 5 star standard character/weapon, and like everyone hates 50/50s because most people don't want to lose the 50/50 (getting a 5 star character/weapon from standard banner rather than the 5 star character/weapon from the event banners you wanted) also, when you lose the 50/50, the next time you hit pity you're guaranteed to get the 5 star character/weapon from the event banners, but there's also a small chance you lose again. you can get wishes by buying them with primogems, one wish costs 160 primogems and 10 costs 1600, OR you can buy them usong the stardust or starglitter (you can get them from wishing, stardust you get from every wish and starglitter you get from 4 or 5 star characters/weapons), the wishes you can buy using starglitter is always avaiable and you can buy them whenever you like, and the stardust you can buy 5 wishes every month. i think that's it, so sorry if it's confusing for you, you can always look for a better explanation on youtube tho! hope you're enjoying the game!! btw hi sophie!!!

[@thecringepixal]

You're the only KZbinr that makes the game fun to watch ❤🎉😂

[@sweetwinter4803]

I'm really glad you're enjoying the lore aspect of the game, you remind me of myself when I started playing, I was talking to every npc i could find, the music and the story is what got me hooked, there are also some fun Easter eggs and references hidden in some of the dialogues, kaeya is a major lore piece of game as well, I hope you'll continue enjoying the game.

[@alittlelostinthemoment6677]

Hey, you are so fun to watch! I have a question: Since Genshin is pretty well known for its time-limited events without reruns, do you have any plans on getting to know about previous ones? It's fine if you're like "Nah, I'll just do the ones that pop up while I'm playing", I got just a little curious.

[@Twilight_StaRz]

another way to heal yourself is to cook food with ingredients, and after you cook it, you can go to your inventory and eat it for full health. hope this helped

[@silly.sigewinne]

12:21 i really recommend doing the testrun! Theres no spoilers or anything, it’s actually really fun. You will get to try out the character and fight enemies with them, basically just trying out their kit! You will also get a lot of primogems and lvl up material compared to how easy it is and it only takes about 1-3 minutes to do!

[@lanibaron6586]

i dont know if you notice that your video is unlisted feral 😅

[@gamerknight_hd6444]

watching this makes me feel nostaligc. not only because it feels like the time when I started playing but also the vibes of the videos.

[@AlcyoneSivin7]

Yo! Thanks for another awesome video. To clear this up a bit, the characters in your team aren't actually there with you (In lore its just you and paimon travelling together as a team) its entirely for gameplay reasons. I hope that's not too confusing. For the archive stuff you do have to kill enemies to get their entries, but with animals I'm pretty sure you only have to kill the ones that can be killed to get their entries. Stuff like dogs and cats aren't killable so you'll automatically get their archive entries anyways. Also u missed a book on Jean's desk :p I don't have much else to say but I hope that the wish system hasn't turned you off from the game a little. Genshin does give you many free characters anyways and ALL characters can be viable if you put enough into building them, even the Traveller, Amber, Kaeya, Lisa team can be good. If you ever need help building characters in the future (Cause it can be quite tedious sadly) I'd be glad to co-op with you and help! I'm in your discord server with the same name. Anyways I look forward to future videos and I hope you have a great time playing! have an awesome day and congrats on 11K!

[@ashwinsachan]

Here's a tip for elemental reaction for you- - after applying fire (Pyro) you can use kaeya's skill to do melt damage or Feral's skill to do swirl damage.. for eg- Amber + kaeya = melt damage Amber + Feral = Swirl damage Kaeya + Feral = swirl damage If a enemy is affected by any element and you use anemo power (wind) on them, they will take swirl damage

[@arandomhaku]

ok some tips i can give you about wishing 1.if you open your mail you should get 10 free blue wishes the name of them is acquaint fate after grabing them you can wish on 2 banners wish that wish the standered wish that doesn't matter how many times you pull on it, it doesn't disappear and the starter banner that costs less but it will disappear after you pull on it 2.now how you get wishes the stardust and starglitter you saw you can only get after wishing but primogems are used to buy 2 different kinds of wishes intertwined wish and acquaint wish you should always buy intertwined fates cause you get planty of acquaint fates by just playing the game and the aren't that useful anyway 3. there is also two banners that intertwined fates can be used on the weapon banner and the character banner they both change every 20 days so you can get different 4 stars and 5 stars on them you should probably only wish on the character banner and not on the weapon banner cause your low ar but after getting past ar 50 is pretty good to also wish on weapon banner 4. now i wanna talk about how you get 4 stars whwn pulling there is a chance of getting them but if you don't get any in 10 pulls the game will take pity on you and give you the 4 star now there is a chance you get any 4 stars but the 4 stars on the banner have the highest chance to give to you 5. now 5 stars while pulling there is a 0.6% chance of getting a 5 star but after you pull 74 times the game will make the chance of getting a 5 star higher and higher till 90 pity (pity is what we call how many times you have pulled) if you get to 90 it will give you a 5 star automatically 6. now the chances of what 5 star you get are different on what banner your pulling on if your pulling on a character banner there is a 50% chance to win the character on the banner and a 50% of not getting them and getting another 5 star now these other 5 stars you can get are 7 characters we like to call them standered characters among these 7 characters are dehya, tighnari, keqing, mona, qiqi, diluc and jean if you lose to one of these characters there is a 100% chance of getting the 5 star you want when tou get lucky and pull a 5 star 7. now the weapon banner is a bit different you still have the 50% chance of winning and losing but if you lose after you get another 5 star pull there is a 100% chance of getting 1 of the 2 weapons on thw banner if you dont get the weapon you want there is a help for that too if you go on the weapon banner there is a place you can choose from by choosing the weapon you want and not getting it twice the next time you pull a 5 star its always that weapon 8. now how to get primos basically from every where by doing quests opening chests lvling up q statue of the seven and bluh bluh bluh 9. opening the wish screen you can see history by clicking that it will show you your wish history and thats how you can understand your pity but it will take q while to update after you pull so be aware of that too 10. last but not least where you can see what characters there are and who you want to pull after pressing esc and the menu coming up there should be one for character archive you can see the characters there and think who you should pull for there isnt a way of telling what characters come next so you can follow the genshin live streams there they will announce the next character banners and you can get ready thats all hope this helped out

[@pjsockz]

watching this as a ar59 player is so nice like truly your energy towards the game is so refreshing! I hope you truly do enjoy this game now man and always remember to play it at your own pace!

[@pixenrush]

I would be the kind of guy to do a comment like the one in the beginning x) I really loved how you said you like good worldbuilding, and then slowing realising just how much lore genshin has. Take the amount you think there is, 5x that, and it's probably even more

[@ashab4444]

I wish i was your manager/coach/trainer/teacher to explain what mistakes are major and what mistakes are minor.

[@nathanielcarter7984]

OH YES, GOD YESSSS. Episode 3 babeyyyyyy. Also a small tip (that isn't necessarily relevant rn but really helpful for later), since you're early game and everything, do save up on your fragile resin and try to never use it until you hit like AR 40-45. This way you'll be able to get busted artifacts faster for late game world levels and bosses)!

[@FeralCabbage]

Fragile resin = busted artifacts, got it! Thank you!

[@notyami]

this is so nostalgic to watch, Im looking forward to this journey! 🥹❤️

[@wisteriawolf5894]

I actually love this series so far! I JUST started getting into Genshin so I'm happy to be playing along! :)

[@Ligmyster]

After 3 years of playing genshin, watching this really reminds me how much the game has changed, the way the characters talked, the way cutscenes looked, no dialogue bloat, and a less annoying paimon.

[@changed587]

I must say! This is the channel if this continues, I will support. I wonder often how people who haven't been playing for years are approaching this game! I'm so excited too see fresh looks or reactions. Keep it up! This game is a lot. But because there is a lot. It fills so many roles or wants of certain people. 🎉 I can't wait to see what team you get! Who your main will be! I am sure enjoying the attitude and atmosphere our community is treating you! It makes me happy to see that they are wishing to help or be supportive. Some like to attack new people, judging for mispronounced words/names.ect But to see comments about tips and favorite things about said game is a nice breath of fresh air. I know one of my favorite early game was the collecting and lore! In the beginning it can at times feel hard when not getting many characters. You feel limited. For now just collect plenty of chests and enjoy your time. It took me a while to get my good first 5 star from and event. 😅 this is long, sorry. But simply enjoy! 🎉

[@EHA14]

hydro and cryo is different elements in this game. you can attack hydro slimes with kaeyas cryo skill. and slimes elemental beigns since born. so they are always wet if they are hdyro slimes. or they are always effected fire şif they are pyro slimes. its mean you can always froze hdyro slimes with cryo skills and more dmg on pyro slimes other elements bc they are already effected. you can understand the effects on mob's up head. and etc when you walk on water youeffected wet and you can see the symbol on your health bar.

[@EHA14]

and by that mean enemies can freeze you with their cryo attacks if you are "wet" effected

[@zoesmith8044]

I'm so glad I found someone playing Genshin for the first time. This will make it easier for me to know what my friend talks about when they are playing.

[@adyos_]

As someone who absolutely ADORES genshin's lore (although I'm not very good at following it 😭) I'm so happy to see someone who genuinely listens to everything the people say because they're so important to understand and piecing together a lot of stuff
