  • I finally decided to try Genshin Impact completely free to play... and the experience was interesting. I figure out how long it takes to get to Adventure Rank 25 and how many wishes new players get. This also serves as a guide for new players to begin their exploration in Genshin Impact. This also serves as a guide for new players to hit Adventure Rank 25 as fast as possible.

    I consider myself to have progressed into the veteran player bracket, but let me say that as a fully F2P player, when a random 10-pull nets you a limited 5 star character, the exhilaration is REAL.
    That excitement is reminiscent of how great GI felt as a new player when you just got ANY new character to join your party. It was such a great time learning about who the character was and what they were all about.
    On the subject of pulling; luck has been pretty wild this 4.0 patch. Got Neuvillette early, Navia in a vanity 10-pull, along with Raiden and Nahida just before or around soft pity, never losing a 50-50 for any of them.
    Update: Lads, I was feeling the LNY spirit and did a few pulls. Xianyun came out of her abode and said she wished to travel and see the world too. Dipped into the primo-stash, and came out with an early 50-50 win 🏆.

      There should be a way to get event weapons as a new player but 95% of them are completely replaceable. Festering Desire is great for Furina but the Fontaine craftable and Fav sword exist. And while Cinnebar is bis for Albedo, he is not a meta character anyway.

      Yeah, when you aren't pulling every banner character it's easy to get more attached to those that you do pull (or those that you pull early: as their impact is so large compared to the 4* characters you had before).

  • @Non-Existent03
    @Non-Existent03 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +18

    As a f2p player. Steady going for archon quests is the best way to catch up. I did so when inazuma was still freshly opened. and at low levels, building elemental mastery (for elemental reactions such as overload) is a good way to provide damage without thinking too much of the standard build. Since artifact farming isn't really suitable for low level domains in the early game. Slow and steady completing quests and keep on banner pulling as multi-characters are better than none.

      while I agree with doing main quests to lvl up fast I’d also encourage people not to lvl up fast hahaha I started a new account cos there’s no endgame and the game will be reduced to 30mins of actual gameplay (commissions, resin and maybe events) .. I challenged myself in the new account by not using HB nor Kazuha … maybe that will give me a few extra months to beat the abyss

  • @hipunpun
    @hipunpun 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +26

    The highlight being pulling a character that helped traverse the world better, showcases (imo) that there's an issue with mobility for most characters.
    I reached a point in my game where I was running Yelan & Sayu to get around the world faster because running around consumed so much time.
    I genuinely believe that the game would be better if they implemented some sort of mount or out of combat movement speed bonus.

    I started playing around 2.6 during ayaka's banner. I didn't know there was a gacha system and i thought i got characters from progressing through the quests. This happened until i realized there was a gacha system after completing inazuma's archon quest around ar 40-ish (i was looking through achievements, collecting shiny gems (primogems) and began to wonder what these shiny gems are used for. It took that long bcs genshin is my first gacha game. The first standard character i got was mona from wishing on the noelle banner. Ayaka was my first limited 5 stars thanks to her extended banner that people called her banner eternal at that time. I lost 50/50 to mona again at soft pity if i'm not mistaken but i managed to grab ayaka at the last day of her banner before 2.7 started

      Actually, the best way to play the game. Neglect gacha as much as possible. Only click it when you see a character you really like.
      For me, this is also the first gacha game, and I say, it will be the only one. Gacha games are generally terrible. The only reason I allow Genshin in my life is because it is so much more than a regular gacha - it is a game you can actually PLAY.

    A bit over a year ago, I did a similar exercise and started a new account to experience the game from a newcomer's F2P perspective. I've been playing since launch and am not F2P on my main. It was really fun and made me appreciate the game a lot more. The only problem is that I stuck with that account and it's AR59 now, but still F2P. It's kind a pain managing two accounts but no regrets. The funny thing is that the first banner I decided to pull on was Nahida and I managed to beat the 50/50 to get her. It felt so exhilarating getting her and she was a game changer for my F2P account.

I still maintain my main account so the second one feels very relaxing to play without any fomo or worry about maxing all my characters. I use the second for exploration and co op when I want to have a chill evening and it really has been a fantastic experience (so different to the main account!). Like you touch on here there is a wealth of experiences for new/low level players and I honestly think that I have more plain fun on my second (low level) account than I do on my main.

    It was a treat to watch you have that f2p excitement about an early 5-star pull. It just hits different when you know you'll have to stack up the primogems by spending time playing the game. You had some great tips for anyone looking to rank up a new account quickly (Waypoints, mondstadt exploration, adventurer's handbook), but also for new players (stuff like: keep thrilling tales and grab every anemoculus you can for increasing stamina). I would love to see you make more like this (whether continuing an f2p account or just making tips/guides to mid-game [AR 25-45?] player experience)

    I was also over AR30 when I got 5* Xianyun on my alt account, but didn't use her because my alt account was to see how far I'd get with 3* weapons and starter characters (to simulate a player coping while waiting for their favourite).
    Starter characters and 3* weapons only works fine even in the newest Fontaine: most of my starters only combat consisted of Lisa and Barbara normal attacking through walls and ceilings.

    These kinds of videos are always super insightful for how the game is for people that didn't start playing Day 1 like I did for both Genshin and HSR. Like for Genshin, a lot of us were rerolling with like 30ish free Month 1 pulls hoping for whoever to come extremely early, while in HSR you were guranteed to get your first 5 star by the time you reached the underworld of Belobog - and you probably still can today.
    It makes me glad I did choose to start playing these games day 1 and not months later as I likely wouldn't have stuck with Genshin had the free stuffs from launch not helped give me what I wanted. It's why I think if you're even 1% interested in one of these kinds of games, you should pick it up immediately when it launches - something I'll be doing for ZZZ when it comes out despite me being completely turned off by the tv aspect. FOMO launch rewards have me in their clutches for Hoyo games.

    To this day they didnt fix albedos e getting destroyed by literally everything.
    Atleast my cheld is pretty strong now with b, xiangling and furina.

    I went full 80+ pity on standart banner, got Mona. Went full 80+ pity on Character banner, got another Mona. Same happend to me at HSR. Went full pity on character banner, got Yanqing. Went full pity on standard banner, got another Yanqing. Idk about others, but I almost never win 50/50. Got C5 mona, C5 Keqing, C4 Jean, C2 Qiqi, Deyha, Tignari and 0 Dilucs in 3 years. Same story happening in HSR: E1 Yanqing, E1 Clara, E1 Welt, Bailu. And the fact that you don't get that many pulls as f2p is even more depressing. If you are as unlucky as I am, you are getting only around 3 new 5-stars in a YEAR. Well at least some 4-stars are quite good, but reality is that on average you have to skip 2 patches to gurantee yourself 1 C0 5-star character without weapon.

    I’ve been playing GI since the release date and my first 5 star was Kazuha from 1.6 the Golden Apple Archipelago. I got him at early-ish pity and the reason why It took me long to have a five star from 1.0 to 1.6 is that I was saving for a character that I like, Zhongli and Childe tempted me to pull but I still saved my primogems, definitely one of the best choice that I did in my account because Kazuha really helped me in a lot of scenarios and abyss was a lot easier with him. Now I almost have all the 5 star characters and I am a slight whale in the game but I am missing the experience that I have when I was still in the early phase of Genshin Impact. ❤️

  • @xdragon2k
    @xdragon2k 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    There are definitely a lot to talk about when going F2P when you first play the game. That means you have to log in daily to do daily commissions, expeditions, spend 150 resins, and make sure you do your weekly stuff like 3 major boss; Reputation level up: 3 bounties, 3 requests; cooking 20 items; forge 20 items (mostly enhancement ores); etc. These will level up your battle pass and it will give out some free pulls and other goodies after certain level ups.
    And what not to do: spending your fragile resins on early leylines and artifact domains. The same amount of resins will yield higher quality artifacts after you reach AR45. And higher world level leylines yield more exp books and moras. Spend the resin that trickling in every day, but don't over do something.

    I've actually been free to play since I started GI, I have to admit that I find it much more refreshing to watch someone play in the same manner, so I would like to see you continue your normal content and keep up with your f2p playthrough but only if you can without burning out or feeling overwhelmed with the extra work. I appreciate that you make great content.

  • @greatedcorn
    @greatedcorn 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Another tip would be to not skip side quests. aside from the rewards they give, many side quests, especially the larger ones, can serve as a helpful exploration guide. Especially in places like the chasm where there are many levels, the world quests generally guide you to most of the way points and major areas you need to get to, or allow you to access the map or puzzles with gadgets or other things related to the quests. And you'll want to access all the puzzles and chests because as an f2p every primo available on the map is good to get if you plan on wishing

  • @midoriyalu3958

    I really agree, as a f2p playing since 1.3, pulling a 5 star without spending makes u really feel more connected or attached. For me getting hutao made me really happy and ive been using her ever since as my best dps. And now Ar 60 and stil enjoying the game with zero burnout. Always time manage for the new players, dont rush into the game and take your time and just enjoy the flow, the game is always updating anyways, just enjoy at your own pace.

    I think the biggest hurdle for new players is how a lot of resources are locked behind quests (I'm looking at you, Inazuma). One of my friends decided to start a new account around Yelan / Lyney banner and got Yelan. For the longest time, their Yelan had to stay at level 40 because chasm. Imagine getting an Inazuma character in your pulls as a new player!

    I started a f2p acc right before Itto's release, and only now I felt like my account is complete with all 5* that I wanted and Raiden C2, it took so long that i don't think it's viable for anyone to start playing GI as a f2p anymore, the longer it takes, the worst it gets.
    But hey, as long as you're having fun, it's all right!

    I started the game in early December 2020 iirc. I pulled for Zhongli, but I was a bit late for his banner, so I didn't manage to get enough pulls. The next patch was Albedo, whom I eventually got as my first 5* (that was around 75-77 pulls). I actually was very surprised when I got him, I thought it was early, though it was not, and I didn't really understand how the banner system works at that time.
    It's true that we get attached to our first high rarity character. To this day I enjoy using Albedo in different teams, my most recent and most favorite is Albedo/Neuvillette/Diona/Kazuha.

    I started playing in 1.3, and being an AR60 end game player, it’s really just turned into a daily grind to farm for artifacts and collect daily commission primogems. Of course there is still joy in exploring new regions and trying out new characters whenever they are released, but I personally find that Genshin Impact becomes more monotonous the more you play and I really don’t fault other end-game players from quitting the game either. (Most of my friends on my friend list are inactive eternally “over 31 days” players)

    @Talyrion 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Funnily enough, I started playing the game for the first time a few days before this video came out. I'm... technically not f2p, since I took the subscription for a bit of primogems each day, but since I have hoarded every limited wish so far and not made any roll beyond the permanent banner, I might as well be.
    It is pretty frustrating that you're not guaranteed a character on a 10-pull. At this point, I only have a handful of C0 4*, and among them, there's a couple I can't even raise due to needing mats from Sumeru. Still, I'm having fun. Recently broke through AR35, currently taking my first steps in Inazuma. Went through a rough patch, resource-wise, until I realized that alchemy was pretty convenient for ascension mats.
    Story-wise, I'm not amazed or anything so far, but I know the best is yet to come, there were a couple of good moments in Liyue to keep me interested even if the pacing was kind of awful, and I like Inazuma's vibes so far (not its puzzles though, kind of hate them) - even if I know I should probably manage my expectations (something about a rushed ending?). And yeah, it was weird playing through the Lantern Rite event and having all these characters that clearly know me when I haven't the slightest clue about them.
    Anyway, it was pretty funny to see some of my experiences pretty much reflected exactly in this video.

    While it is interesting to start the game over and see what it feels like, I think the part that you are missing is that feeling of not having a clue what is important in the game. I felt like that took forever to just learn the basics, and I can imagine it's only worse now with so many things that they have added over the years.
