Genshin Impact: 15 Things I Wish I Knew Before AR40

hey everyone emtashed here and i've put a lot of hours into genji impact now i'm about to hit ar 40 but i'm waiting until stream so if you're watching this video i'm actually live streaming right now twitch.tv slash mtash okay i'm going to be getting ar 40 we're going to be using all of my fragile resin but first i want to talk about all the things i wish i knew before getting to this point there's quite a few tips here i'm going to just kind of try to rapid fire them let's get into it starting with resin okay so the big one i want to talk about is resin now resin is a wall that everyone is going to hit eventually you're going to find all the chests eventually you're going to do all the quests and resin is like the only meaningful uh progress you can get other than your daily missions but the resin system is is is rough because if you really want to get experience you need to wait right and you need to play daily but also you can spend primo gems now the first 50 i think is pretty cheap you get 60 daily primo gems from doing your daily quests and so if you're just logging in you want to do a couple resin you want to do one refill that's cool you'll make some really good progress that's essentially 300 extra experience a day on top of your original uh basic resin but as a content creator i spent a lot of primo gems doing this full out for multiple days because i want to get to ar 30 40 you know 45 before everyone else so that i can make videos and make guides like this i would not recommend doing this ever if you're a free-to-play player and if you have a smaller budget if you're not like a big content creator that's spending a thousand dollars like i did primo gems are gonna get vastly more valuable as time goes on and i can show you this very easily by just going to like one of these right if you're looking at artifacts it costs 20 resin to get these artifacts these blue and green terrible artifacts it costs 20 to get these ones it costs 20 to get these ones they cost 20 to get these ones it costs 20 to get these ones and so if you're refilling your resin early on you're essentially saying i want the experience now but i have to give up the good rewards later and i think that that's a mistake because a lot of the experience past 30 is from daily logins and yes you can do the resin thing and yes you might save a day or two of the grind but you can save yourself hundreds hundreds upon hundreds if not thousands of primo gems farming for what you want you have the opportunity to get a gold item which is essentially 60 resin right it's like 60 resin of these ones or like 120 grams of this or like 240 resin of this i don't know the exact math but one resin refill when you're ar 40 is a lot more valuable it is a lot more progress per resin and so this is something that i regret uh spending as much on and i would really caution free to play players uh against okay so back to the domains a little bit if you look at the artifacts if you look at the the ascension materials every five levels you get more and more drops and it increases as the world's years going up but you get more and more drops here and so the resin is getting more valuable but but with the talent books it actually levels up at a different rate so with the talent books you've got these ones that like ar 2530 i think and you get like one blue and some greens but at ar 36 so it's actually kind of in between you unlock the next domain the the tier three now you get two blue and two green and that's awesome and this is at ar36 the next upgrade for talent books is all the way at ar-45 and that's a long-ass way that's a long way enemies are going to be very very strong by the time you're getting into ar-40 and by time you get to ar 45 if you haven't been farming these books and upgrading your talents your damage is going to be very far behind and it's going to make it harder to even compete in ar-45 ar-40 and so my recommendation is to max out your abilities once you hit ar-36 for your ascension level because it is so long it is such a long grind to get to 45 that yes obviously farming at this higher resin would be great but you're gonna waste so much damage by neglecting this it's not worth it and so if you look at my character right now um i've got my official and as soon as i send her i'm gonna i'm gonna level up these a little further but you know it costs nine it is going to require you multiple days worth of resin it's going to cause some resin refills if you want to get all the books that you need but i would recommend getting all the blues and just banging this out because you're gonna need it you're gonna need that damage and um you know again you can see here i'm running out of arrowheads i literally gotta go farm hilly trolls to afford all this but this is such a big boost of damage that if you sleep on it you're gonna get in trouble and ar-45 is just too far away to waste any time not doing this so another thing that i wish i would have done sooner was marking down core lapis crystal ore uh knuckles jade any of those things that i need because uh two of my characters need core lapis and so i'm constantly hunting it down luckily there's a couple spots here uh mount hula has a bunch of core lapis and then this this kind of ridge right here has a lot of core lapis i could even i could even put a little mining marker on that so i remember but there are a few spots on the map where i found artifacts you know there's artifacts that spawn in here and uh i went there multiple times but it took me till the third time or the fourth time to actually mark it on the map make sure you're actually using the map properly a good example of it is this spot right here in lingju pass if you need abyss mages there's three of them that spawn right here you can walk across this ledge you can kill an agent there's three abyss mages you can go over here and there's another one and so just little things like that so you can remember is a big way to progress your character and there are some really good spawns of enemies that are abundant for materials you are going to need 45 core lapis i've got plenty but oh my god nectar nectar and any of these items you need to start farming now because it gets expensive so we need 12 blues which don't even drop by the way you actually have to get the the white and the green nectar and turn it into blues because these enemies at ar 35 and above they don't there's no such thing as a level 60 whopper flower um and so it's harder to farm these but if you go into my my talents as well it requires more it requires more and so if you want your talents to go up and your ascension to go up you need to fight so many of these enemies it's crazy but here's the other big one this this one uh kind of tilted me so we look at venti this is just slime it's just slime and you get a lot of slime but at some point in your in your grind you're gonna stop fighting as many basic enemies because there's no chests being blocked by them right there's no puzzles you need to complete where there's some enemies nearby and i've slowly started running out of some of the basic materials because i just don't fight those enemies as frequently anymore when you're doing quests you fight them when you make your way around the map there's puzzles and all that stuff right but then all you do is log in do your daily commissions do your domains and you don't fight them as much and you don't get the drops in a lot of the content that you're playing and so if you see an enemy kill because you're gonna need uh these resources sooner rather than later and it ramps up very quickly and you're gonna run out of resources if you're not killing enemies so you can see here i've got a very healthy amount of of boss items these are from the abyss mages right this is from the old uh electric witches this is from agents i actually have some amazing ascension uh material amounts because i have been doing my daily bosses uh this could delay you days if you don't do this when you get into the higher ascension levels if you've been neglecting your bosses every day if you've been neglecting fighting them there's weapons you won't be able to send there's characters you won't be able to send and this takes a lot of time to get 17 this i'm talking i'm talking a couple of weeks of me grinding to get these items and if you don't start doing this now like it doesn't require any resin and that's one of the big things is is fighting these bosses and tracking them down on the map it doesn't cost you anything but your time and so if you love this game and you want to progress in this game this should be one of the main core activities that you do every single day because you're going to get great progress for your characters you're going to be able to send stuff right when you hit the world rank and um you know missing out on these every single day is going to set you back days if you know what i mean like it just it gets so damn expensive late game that it even if you're just getting the whites and the greens you could turn those into blues and you could turn that into a purple down the road and uh it really stacks up when you've got 300 of the white one and 200 of the green one i mean you'll be really shocked that you're farming back when you're ar 20 25 it will impact you going into ar 40 going into ar 45 it is still going to matter it is still going to be great progress that you made for your character so i've talked about weapons talents ascension you want to focus on just a couple characters because of resources but you can see i made this mistake you know i leveled up the favonius warbow the stringless the rust the compound bow i've leveled up so many damn bows and i'm only using one or two bow characters it seems like a waste at this point why do i have all these bows leveled up and i've even got an ascension 2 tier 5 bow and i just i don't have the materials and and you know it's expensive to get this thing up to to where it needs to be but here's the thing there's a lot of players that they look at weapons okay we're gonna look at we're gonna look at this weapon there's something like the debate club this is a top tier weapon it is really good don't get me wrong in early game if you get it to level 20 level 30 level 40 it's great it is super good but when you start getting to the higher levels and the higher ascensions the damage scaling really starts to take off and it is especially apparent in the golden items okay with the the five star weapons their base damage starts to really ramp and so long term you would optimally want to be upgrading this weapon but i've wasted so many materials here that i i feel like ah maybe i should just commit to this weapon in the case of something like rust maybe because the passive on it is absolutely nuts but in in most cases if you do have a five-star weapon i would invest in it long-term because the base damage is going to outscale everything else another thing is regional items i have 73 lamp grass and that's awesome i can ascend fishel the second i hit ar 40 today but my boy d luke he needs it as well this is a lot of lamp grass it takes multiple days to get this much lamp grass and uh if if you don't pick up those items you're gonna regret it one day maybe you don't have a character that uses lamp grass but eventually you might have two characters that need it and and you know you might be like oh i don't need those little chilies who needs those little chilies i'm not even hungry well guess what you're gonna need a hundred of them you're gonna need a hundred of them one day and if you don't pick them up when you see them you're gonna regret it like me i think everyone knows you should be doing expeditions every day but you should be getting ore every single day you should be getting the crystal ore every single day in my opinion now i'm doing that and i'm not going to go through me clicking all of them right this second but i'm going to tell you why because if you go over to this bad boy right here this is going to be one of the the main ways you're going to get experience in the game okay by making mystic enhancement ores this is some of the the best experience you can get in-game but here's the problem five at a time i'm getting five at a time this costs me 20 20 crystal wars i used to have 300 of them i started upgrading some items i needed to make more i'm running out so fast even though i am farming every day even though i'm doing my expeditions i'm running out of ore and now i could use some of these other ones i got quite a bit that's fine but you might think that you're going to be crafting all these weapons and items you're not you're not and it uses 50 uses 50 you are not going to have enough of these these prototypes to be crafting enough to need all these materials you need to turn them into experience and you know there's a couple items here that like i could craft for sure but i don't really need them i don't need these weapons they're not doing anything for me and so my biggest recommendation is if there is a weapon like the prototype animus right you've got some claymores you make this that's cool it's a good sword but the majority of your materials are gonna be going into experience and uh it does take some time to get this going and you can see here i'm running low i'm running real low on these resources if you're not doing your expeditions you are going to be uh kicking yourself in the butt later because when a weapon requires 50 of these and you're out i mean don't come crying to me because i told you so one thing if you want to get a great boost of damage a great boost utility is ascend them from level 60 to 70 but you don't have to actually level them up if you've got a character that's like a support character not doing a bunch of damage what you do is you you know i waste experience getting her to level 70 honestly i mean it's fine it's not the end of the world she's level 70 she's she's stronger but if you do the ascension from 60 to 70 and you just don't level them up they still get this passive and this passive is usually a game changer this passive can be a huge boost to a support character's utility she gets a healing talisman that she could place on enemies just by auto attacking them and that's what her ultimate does and so you can use this to heal in the case of her she drops a damage buff in the case of venti he gives everyone energy when there's an elemental reaction in his ultimate ability and he gets 15 energy when using his ultimate ability and so um this is one of the biggest spikes in damage that you're gonna get and yes you're gonna have to farm some ascension materials but you don't actually have to use your experience books which is really good so obviously do your daily commissions and you know if you got quests and you want to do some quests i mean i've done all my actual quests but i recommend one other thing and that is hunt for all the chests now because the chests in this game do respawn but it is a barren wasteland it is a barren wasteland if you do all the quests and then you chest him so what i did was i did all my quests i banged through the quest with all the experience and then i went chess hunting after and now i've got no quests and almost none of the chests have respawned if you do it the other way you can hunt for all the chests get a whole bunch of chests get a whole bunch of experience and then you can do all your quests it's gonna take you days to do all your quests to do your dailies right do all your your resin and then by the time you're done a good chunk of the chests will respawn and you can make your way around and get those chats some of them take like a week some of them i think it's been like two weeks and i still haven't seen them right there's it there's a chest up here apparently this chest right up here it respawns i hadn't seen it i haven't seen it i got this on the first day i got this chest on the first day where are you right down here there's supposed to be chest there there's a chest there i ain't seen them once there's supposed to be one up on there on that on that little windmill there's no chest i'm hunting for chests i can't find any damn chests go do the chest now there's an interactive map you can get gentian impact interactive map you can go and find all the chess locations make your way through the map get them get all the animo oculus get all the g oculus then do some quests and you can you can throw some in in between but at a certain point you hit this wall and i've talked about it it's just resin and dailies and there's nothing else to do it would be so nice if my chest had respawned it would be so nice if i was making some more progress to those chests but because i neglected them for so long i'm kind of in between and i don't have anything to find okay so another one is maura i know there's been probably 50 videos on this stupid chest in here but if i save even one person's life here because they get 200 000 more from this awesome in the bank in the northland bank in leo there's a chest that spawns right here and there's 200 000 mora right inside okay another thing is if you go on your quest items down at the bottom most likely if you've been doing a whole bunch of quests there's this big of money it's not a lot of money but it's it's a little bit of money there's a quest where a child gives you some money and uh you can go turn this in at the bank but also there's gonna be a ring depending if you did the nine pillars quest you can get 200 000 more for that there's also going to be some little treasure chests you can get i think it's another like 200 000 mora from that or something crazy there's hundreds of thousands of more available but you might not have turned them in yet okay so make sure you go and look because there's more potentially sitting right in your inventory right here or right under your nose in the northland bank okay pretty much it for me though guys uh i i don't know if there's any other major major things i wish i knew or tips or anything like that a lot of this game is pretty straightforward i know some people kind of roast me because they're like yeah this shit's obvious well i know not everyone else has the big brain i know i'm kind of smooth brain sometimes uh so i just wanted to give you tips that i thought might help you thank you so much for watching the support has been seriously amazing and uh and i feel really lucky to have all the support that i've had thank you for subbing thank you for following and thank you for just supporting me okay have a great day i'll see you soon bye
