How Much Time Should You Spend on Artifact Farming? | Genshin Impact 

Hello! Will the artifact simulator be available for public use?

In essence, this was nothing new for me, but I really liked your examples with some actual numbers. Helps to put it into perspective. Also, very nice visualization of the data. Great Guide for new players. And yes, you can really feel how annoying it can be to farm artifacts for characters, who only really care about Crit + ATK or HP vs. characters, who utilize many stats. Virtually all my Emblem artifacts end up getting several EM rolls. Unfortunately, I have only one Xiangling, so...

Looking forward to your abyss guide

With so many Artifacts and Character scalings to take note of, I wish some would make an excel focused on which Artifacts to KEEP and which to feed.

This is just what I did by looking at how artifact system works. Perfect artifacts arent worth my time, never farmed them. But this mathematical proof is very cool.

well somebody has to do it, there's a video about anything and everything for a reason because of people like him lmaoo

did you meant "wOke up and decideD" ?

Resinless behaviour💀

With the way you've worded this, it sounds like an order 😂

Even he know how it sucks to spend resins for months struggling to get a good status or a whole collection... rather that daily we're screwed as a fuck

I suggest you try couple therapy.

​@@vitor900000Probably a bot. Saw thT comment copy pasted multiple times for months.

​@@willrmmerhunter it's a copypasta

@@el7284 Aka, probably a bot.

@@willrmmerhunter Indeed, it might be a bot. You should report it. (For legal reason that was a joke, pls don't report me 😭)

Wait people dont

That's what i do, I select a few more characters that I put into consideration when I'm pulling my main character, i manged to strongbox a few artifacts for sucrose and sayu while also farming for hutao, and even ended up with some nice elemental dmg bonus off pieces (usually electro which I don't need atm but I can't just throw a double crit goblet like that)

It's the reason domains like vermillion/echoes is less desirable to farm since only two characters really want to farm that domain. Compare that to Gilded/Deepwood and the number of characters that want or can be built with those artifacts makes that domain stronger.

@@user-po3iz9wo6p i do the same but with EM DMG pieces only, for the 5th free piece of artifacts.

​@@PunchbadguyGilded/Deepwood, Marachussy/Golden Troupe and Emblem/Shimenawa are probably the most resin efficient domain

What if the set is very niche and specific

Totally agree! 💯

I ran simulations for this exact issue. The results vary a lot because we don't have the data to know if a given artifact is "good" or even the % for 4-liners (Strongboxing for example has a higher % for 4-liners than domains but we don't know by how much) But I've come to these conclusions: Given 2 domains with one domain containing the artifact set we want but having a bad set as the second option and a domain where both artifact sets are desireable. If we strongbox every "bad" piece resulting from farming these domains into the artifact set from the "inefficient" domain the numbers are as follows: 1) Farming the efficient domain and strongboxing will result in 25.5 - 33.4% more total "good" artifacts 2) Farming the "inefficient" domain and strongboxing will result in 1.53x - 2.2x faster time aquiring the artifact set that we actually want

Interesting findings! Combined with Jyo's takeaways, I think the best practice is therefore to farm the inefficient domain for 2 weeks to get 70-80% of the power budget from main stats, then strongbox the rest while farming a more efficient domain since you'd only care about good artifacts at that point anyway

@@yr4hcaZ Yeah I guess that works, what I took away from my findings though is just farming efficient domains is going to be better in the long run. Yes, it will take longer to build some characters but it's not like we are in a rush as players to build our characters.

fair point. also worth mentioning that artifacts which can be strongboxed are from older domains, so it's unlikely you'd be in a rush to farm it regardless

@@see_yl honestly the only reason i wanted my chars to have very good stats is for abyss 12th floor. I'm AR 56 now and only managed to full star till 11-3. Tried doing the 12-1 this time and died. The ennemies are just too strong, aka have enormous amounts of HP. And i hate the fungis bcuz to get the good drops, i can't atk with either Elec or pyro, wich are the best chars i have so have to go with bloom reac. But do those dendro cores only explode when the time is up, or if i were to trigger a react and create sum more it forces them explode ? Bcuz i don't do much dmg like that and rn i have Nahida with EM, Dendro dmg and crit and do 5k pure Dendro DMG so was wondering if i could do more dmg with full em...

I know right? I’ve been playing fairly consistently since launch and I never knew strongbox was even better than I thought

He said use the strong box and not much more. My advice is forget about artifacts, just look at the helpers guide chart to know which artifacts each character needs and that's it. First, save primogems, never wish, until urchon comes. Then, wish, go for c2 in case of Raiden, Furina, Nahida. Then sub DPS and support. Yelan, Kazuha, maybe Yae, maybe kokomi, zhongli. You will get the 4 stars eventually. Xiangling is free, then look for dupes. Ignore all Carry DPS, skipp banners. Yelan, is a monster, must have. It's easy to build, for weapon and artifacts. Uses ER and HP, then crit. this makes her the easiest character to build with Furina and Nahida. Kazuha is easy because you don't need anything more than EM and some ER. So you get the characters, the right ones, then lvl up, lvl weapon, keep farming artifacts looking at the guide. There is nothing else to do. The strongbox is only for players with strong enough and old enough accounts, who want to keep farming some artifacts instead of using those for lvl up. You will do this at some point but usually, strongbox is used for Kazuha artifacts, or a healer character or support who uses millelit or noblese.

​@@gamingtemplar9893probably because the video is literally about resin efficiency in artifact farming. He gave a lot of info on why that is and showed the math on a lot of it to make it easier to understand, idk if you actually watched the video. Your "advice" is just a guideline for how to make your primogems efficient in terms of strength, which everyone gets told already and is useless at this point. That has nothing to directly do with resin, like what he was talking about. Also what you said about strongboxxing is bullsht lol, it's much more efficient to use on DPS oriented artifacts than on support oriented artifacts, as substats are much better on strongbox artifacts than domain ones, and those substats are more important on DPS artifacts

​@@gamingtemplar9893I meant *useless to say*. the advice isn't shit it's just already repeated so much that everyone knows that it's "better" to pull for archons and super strong units

@@BooskeyRt I think another thing people fail to realize is that for new players, the only teams you can build are based off of the banners available when you started so a lot of these 5*'s could take a year to collect - so if you want to beat spiral with what you have available, then you will be building characters that might not be so primo efficient. Plus, there are things like playing on controller or mobile (internet speed) that make the "best" 5*s not necessarily feel as great to one player as they do for another and it can take time to try out characters until you find ones you like. I loved the info in this video because knowing which characters have the best artifact farming efficiency in the first few weeks gives me more confidence to farm for characters I've been putting off because I assume it will be as time consuming as the ones that have taken months. Veterans might know this already but seeing the math and charts is really helpful I started a new account to try characters I don't have the primos for on my main and I started using strongbox straight away and got some great artifacts that saved resin for building Xiangling & Raiden so strongbox can be vital for new players - even when I only had 6 artifacts to feed lol I still got a coupe better ones than I had. I wish I did this on my 1year old main account sooner!

​@@gamingtemplar9893you missed the point

because people can barely read, let alone understand statistics.

Because the video is inherently useless, there is not one point you couldn't have figured out by yourself after playing around with artifacts or just using logic. Even the numbers shown for resin farming recommendation make no sense to recommend as the only purpose is statistical.

​@@merydex7717 On the contrary, this video is quite valuable. Even though I can kinda agree that some key takeaways are just logic, this video is just worth watching for anyone not familiar with Genshin or gacha games in general. Like you said, if you play enough, you can figure out a lot by yourself (e.g. focusing on main stats is the most important). But this video is there to prevent a lot of new people (and old players who don't think too much about efficiency) to waste resin and 5-star artifacts. It gives them a rough goal for artifact farming.

IM AWAKAE XD

A friend of mine foddered his fav weapon to level Aquila for Bennett. People don't get how bad mistakes can get because of how casual the game is.

That's the type of thing that can really hit you in the RNG... when you have existing artifacts that are good, and you're farming for that new set. You routinely get stuck at a point where you need circlet/sands with a specific main stat and a X DMG cup.Either one will do the trick, because you can then off-set the other. But now you're in a situation where you need the right main stat with the right substats and they have to get rolled into. And until that happens, you aren't getting a 1-2% increase per week. You're sitting at 0%, until finally you get the one piece that makes swapping worthwhile.

Navia has been rough for me too, although I've mainly been farming MH/GT - I haven't farmed her domain exclusively. So she's on rainbow to get the best stats but sadly missing the buffs from her full set (she still beats spiral though - probably cuz Furina is carrying her lol). It's good to know when the stopping point is and this video has given me so much more confidence to plan out artifact farming for my backseat teams I'm building (Cyno/Wanderer)
