I also found more of the stone/golden roses in the wild. Not sure if they only start appearing after completing the "A Gifted Rose" quest, but they're really well camouflaged. If you collect 3 of them, you can unlock this follow up quest.

Just found out that if you find all 4 seeds, there's a follow-up to the follow up where he'll give you primos and mora and xp books for the last seed.

Well, back to the desert again.

I can't remember - when they introduced Shogun puppet weekly, were you able to convert the boss materials immediately or did they make you wait? If you can convert, it's no big deal. I have a mountain of wolf and stormterror weekly materials doing nothing right now.

I believe that Dream Solvent only converts boss drops from the same weekly boss, so I don't think you can convert the StormTerror or Boreas drops into Scaramouche mats.

Faruza has a good design, got me worried that she would be like ultra mega clothed and boring. Lets see how her kit fairs.

 

[InterMusketeer]

Her weapon isn't bad but I think one of best points in this is that there are alot of good options in terms of catalysts. If you guys want my suggestion, I would go for her and save your primos instead of waste on the weapon banner. It left a very bad taste in my mouth.

Yeah, I know it's a trap. I have never once pulled on the weapon banner. I just don't have anything else to pull for in the foreseeable future, and it'd be cool to complete her character with the signature weapon. I've been looking forward to Nahida since 2.1 so this isn't something that just came outta thin air.

But looking at the weapon banner now... I'm not so sure.

Spoiler

Not much of interest on there. I was hoping for at least some exclusive 4 star, but no, just old junk. Meh.

As for the new character teasers, Faruzan is cute but she's a dedicated support for the twink element, so I can't even use her. Scara still looks evil despite his factory reset so I don't think that worked out well. They probably figured they should hold keep his iconic design intact. Just means an easy skip for me.

 

[Nankatsu]

Nahida drops tomorrow, right?

Had a pretty rough week, didn't had that much time to play and follow the latest.

Any news about lord Alhaitham's release?

November 2nd I think, though it depends on your time zone.

This page has a countdown timer for the v3.2 availability. Basically it's 1 day + 12 hours from right now.

Fortunately, this is not true anymore. Since v2.7, if you complete weekly BP missions prior to the version update, they will carry over to the new BP.

This is the text listed on the 2.7 System Adjustments & Optimizations:

1. Optimizes "Weekly Missions" in Battle Pass: for "Weekly Missions" completed in the week of a version update, the progress of that week's "Weekly Missions" will be carried over to the updated version's BP.

 

[Pejo]

They actually fixed the weekly ones. You can safely do them and they still count for the new BP. Just the daily ones on Nov 2nd are the ones you have to wait for.

As for the Scara/Faruzan designs, they're both ok. Scara would look so much better with full length pants. Same style even, just the whole way down.

I hope the safety shorts they pick for Faruzan aren't the godawful Yae diaper ones. Still, at least her design is something different. People are saying she's a nod to Hatsune Miku, since Wei is a big fan. Fun fact, that's where the 'mi' in miHoYo came frome.

Yeah. I totally forgot about that.


IMO Scaramouche is becoming one of the most OP anemo to date. They really want to hype this shit.

 

[Pejo]

Actual Scara kit (supposedly).

Those sonsabitches..... They're gonna go ahead and acknowledge Halloween on their official social media and then do NOTHING for it in game, and not even give us costume art.

So it's not that he uses stamina, he uses his own version of stamina which is tied to his skill. End up being true after all, those leakers are something.

About Faruzan, wtf? Her elemental burst costs 20? What sweet honey she is, the more I read the more interest on her I am. I do hope this Gale State acts the same as Yelan modified charged arrow(at least in terms of aoe).

Well wish me luck, I'm going in with a guide to finally find all these stupid Aranara and any Withering Zones I missed. I dunno how you guys play like this, checking back and forth to a second device/display breaks up the gameplay a lot and makes it feel like a chore.

Also - with zero indication, a 12th treasure hunt picture has been added to the Aranara guidebook quest tracker item. Nothing special as the reward, but it's just miraculously there now and it's pointing to a location in the desert.

Agreed on using the interactive map during gameplay, but it does come in handy when attempting to track down the last few things. I still need to find the rest of the Aranara, but I'm a bit burnt out from finishing up all the desert stuff, so I'll just deal with them down the road.

Is there a way to know how many Withering zones you cleared? I don't think there's an achievement yet, but they could be adding more withering zones to the unreleased Sumeru regions.

Edit: I think there's 13 pics available in the clipboard, the last 3 available are in the desert portion of the map. You have to interact with the mailbox in Vanarana each day to get a new one, it doesn't give you the 3 desert pics at one time.

Its fucking terrible. I simply quit doing the primordial towers, who the ever finds fun in this is beyond me. For me basically the exploration of the desert is dead. I just go walking here and there for fun pretending that the underground don't exist(it shouldn't exist). Also, once again set my comissions to Monstad. Lack of proper waypoint to walk through certain comission places(desert areas) and areas infested with enemies that joins my fights everytime ruins the whole thing.

Problem is, if you don't mark down what you have found already it will only make things more confusing.

Ok that was weird, I talked to him again today, got more primos and xp books, and this time he gave me furniture:

Spoiler

I thought it was the extra seed I had in my inventory, but apparently there's just 3 daily turn ins of that quest for each seed that you plant? I don't know how else it would work. I planted all 3 at once and then talked to him 3 separate days. Turns out I still have the extra seed in my inventory.

It can seem like a bug, but I think the repetitive dialog options are trying to show that the old guy's mind is fading out. I talked to him 3 times in a row on the same day that the new set of Golden Roses bloomed. The first 2 times the dialog is slightly different, but you get the rewards. The 3rd time is when you get the teapot item as a reward.

Full disclosure: I knew to talk to him 3 times due to the wikia entry on the Golden Roses, I did not figure that out on my own

Yeah, there's definitely a trade off when not marking them as you go.

I haven't even had one Garcia commission yet and it's been 8+ weeks.

That said, I was pretty excited to finish the Hook-shot fisherman commission series last week. Completing rare RNG commission series feel like the most precious thing in the game.

They sure love to make stupid new commissions, don't they?

I think it was introduced when the Signora weekly went live. There's no delay to convert but you won't have anything to convert at first.

I play mobile and have a laptop so it isn't too bad. Just check it off while you're teleporting to the next location.

Man, was that so hard to give them Kenshin pants? Those fuckers want to be original at any cost.

Yea without the shorts, Scara's design would be borderline good. But no, has to be shorts.

Can't say if this patch already have or not the new teapot. The transference is the big deal for me.

I was expecting something like a city near to Sumeru city with elf alike houses, but the Sumeru teapot is like a growed magic bean.

Information/data without someone who can interpret or make good use of them means nothing.
For instance, someone could sell 100 pies in a day and think their pies are good when in reality the best pie maker in the same street is closed for renovation in a month.

This gave me a good laugh. Censor the bellybutton and see what happens MHY.

The only worse performing banner was Keqing.

Part of me hopes that it was because of her pre-censored dancer design and restrictive kit so that it sends a message to MHY, but the reality is she probably just got Yoimiya'd where she's the last banner before the next highly anticipated archon releases.

Censor don't sell. MYH will learn on the hard way.

I think yeah the censor was a big part of it. But she also has other problems , like being very strict and centered around Dendro.
I expect Denhya to be the same way, but focused on burning. Difference is that pyro is naturally a better element overall.
