When Are Your Artifacts Good Enough? | Optimize Artifact Farming in Genshin Impact (Universal Guide) 

4.0 Artifact details have been revealed on Genshin's official website! Golden Troupe: 2p: 20% Skill damage bonus, 4p: 25% skill damage bonus, another 25% if off field (up to 70% including 2p) Marechausee Hunter: 2p: 15% NA/CA DMG bonus, 4p: 12% Crit rate for every HP change, max 3 stacks (36%), stacks last 5s. All artifacts released before update 3.0 have been added to the strongbox. Tenacity is a really nice one, since pale flame is an underwhelming set. Include that in the list with Noblesse and VV strongbox. Also, I do want to mention Crimson witch and Thundering fury strongboxes, since they allow you to avoid thundersoother and lavawalker, which aren't BiS for anyone currently. Crimson also has heavy emphasis on substats, so the strongbox helps out in that department slightly. Emblem strongbox also lets you avoid Shimenawa, which isn't always a good set to farm for if you don't have the on fielders that make good use of it, or farmed a different set for them already. Overall, the new artifacts are very strong, but we currently don't have too many characters that can really capitalize on these sets where it's their definite BiS, apart from Fischl and Lyney. Not sure about Lynette. The skill set is also decent on Yae and Albedo, but not their definite BiS. Most characters for now don't pack a lot of power in their skill, nor do most change/drain HP frequently enough to keep up Hunter stacks. I'm sure this will change as more Fontaine characters get added. For now, the new domain is not general enough for me to recommend it for everyone. 4p Hunter might end up being a nice casual set since it gives a rarer stat innately, even if the stat isn't stronger than what other sets can give. If you're playing Lyney or Fischl teams, you can farm the new artifact domain and potentially strongbox emblem pieces for a better chance at improving your existing set. You should no longer farm the Emblem domain for too long, since it's going to save you a lot of trouble if you instead strongbox for higher quality pieces. Deepwood and Gilded is now arguably the most efficient domain to farm for, especially for lower investment accounts. Going to add some extra stuff about the video that I missed / cut out. Also, there is a follow up on my second channel overviewing the calculations I did (finally) First: I accidentally said that +20 artifacts is the "most efficient improvement" you can make. A more accurate statement would be that it's much more efficient than grinding for substats, and about as efficient as talents, weapons, character level. I did say that +20 artifacts followed those things, i.e. came after, but the "most efficient" statement definitely detracted some of the value there. Second: Some characters have built in dual scaling, meaning increasing one stat boosts another (Nahida's EM boosing crit rate and damage bonus, Alhaitham, etc). This can skew individual characters' damage gain charts in different ways compared to the example I showed with only vaporize and melt for Xiangling. Basically, not all sources of EM have the same form or any real form of true diminishing returns. Third: I left this out of the video, but you will get off piece artifacts from 2 and 4 piece sets that you can use to make your build stronger. In general, choose the one that gives the largest net increase. Fourth: A small error, at about 7:11, I wrote crit multiplier instead of crit value for the catch's 12% crit rate increase. A 24% crit value increase translates into a bigger crit multiplier that varies depending on the amount of crit value the character starts with. Lastly, I accidentally forgot to emphasize the importance of getting specific 4 piece sets, like viridescent venerer, from the strongbox, simply for how strong the 4p effect is. Remember, having many "subpar" substats (flat stats included!) can still make those pieces stronger than an alternative with fewer, but more valuable substats. I would also like to mention a tool that you can use to discover what your optimal artifact setup is for specific characters in teams. frzyc.github.io/genshin-optimizer - this provides pretty much everything you need to get accurate optimizations once you import your artifacts and characters. Best of luck with your artifacts journey! Artifact calculations: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vfrKPKe2eyz1dtHJT6u8J1TMBf_x5bbLwhzmJc25-kA Take them with a grain of salt, these are estimates and won't be completely accurate.

id be sobbing if not for the last two minutes of the video. added a layer of humanity to the monstrosity that is artifact farming.

Just wanted to point out that if you use characters which main DPS or Support is from their burst, always focus on ER it makes game so much more fun and just after you have enough ER then you can think about DPS main or substats. For example Xiangling with 70/140 CR/CD but with low ER feels way worse than 50/100 CR/CD and enough ER.

I'm trying to build xiangling these days and yes, it DOES feel like it's been 530 million years

He is so kind, he even caculated the time to grind perfectly. I don't know how people achieved 54.4 crit-value artifacts.

This video made me feel better about lacking double crit pyro and hydro goblets for the 2 years I’ve been playing

This is everything a player needs to know in one nicely packed video. You’re one of the only people who mentions the fact that you can only get certain stats on certain types of pieces, and the low-high rolls. Awesome work!

The presentation of the information is absolutely stellar! ✨ Can't believe you've only made three videos as the quality is fantastic. Thank you so much for your work, I have learned a lot. 😊

*Me getting ready for a 500 million year grind* "And that's why you shouldn't bother with getting perfect artifacts with all crit rolls" oh..

One must imagine genshin players happy.

extremely well presented! you've expressed and communicated these concepts that I've intuited after playing for nearly 3 years, but struggled to put to words myself. especially just how absurd it is to chase quality substats at high investment after already having arts with a high quantity of usable substats

I've only been playing Genshin for about 4 months and I finally understand wtf I'm doing now that I'm in the artifact farming stage thanks to this video. They say if you can teach a beginner a complex topic and they come away with more understand than they started with, you're an amazing teacher. Bravo!

this is pure perfection. thanks for giving what I was looking for keep it up

So your telling me that all I need is a time machine to the Cambrian era

Wow, this has to be the best artifact video here on youtube, I mean, through the data on the genshin wiki and from playing I figured out a decent way to farm artifacts so far. But this video goes above and beyond on setting expectations for your artifacts. Thank you very much, this will definitely help me and a ton of others grind out artifacts more efficiently. Instant sub.

seriously, your videos are so interesting. Really makes me have another completely different perspective to artifact farming. A big thank you for the great content

As a long-time Genshin player, this video was a great in-depth look at artifact math and I really appreciated it! You must have put a lot of work into it. However, I'd love to see in the future shorter, more simplified version of this video aimed at casuals. I'd love to link this to some of my more casual Genshin friends who'd love to know how to optimize better, but I know they won't watch it, because as soon as you start talking about math and charts, their eyes glaze over.

Even as a 1.0 player, this an extremely handy guide to have. Just the sheer amount of information and data packed here is useful as hell. Great job on the video!

Dude I love your probability content it really shows your work with your graphs keep up

This is awesome. I just wished you had spent a little more time on how the increased damage potential on improving artifacts falls off and the breakpoints at which you should spend your resin on other things. One problem that's come from watching a lot of content creators is that a large population of players almost exclusively use their resin on artifact domains at high investment on characters when increasing talents or even character level would be a bigger increase to their damage. It also kind of throws off the game's economy and makes it seem like the game doesn't give you enough resources to invest into characters.

very cohesive, informative and helpful! thank you!! feels like a lecture and i'll be rewatching later to get a better grasp

This is a very impressive, informative, and well done video 👏🏻 Pacing, visuals, and narrative are high quality. I hope this video gets the traction it deserves. Well done!

Good work Milo, you've done some amazing analysis. Again, concise, informative, and useful for players of all experience.

thats the type of guide im always looking for. With very fancy animations and circles around specific things you are talking about at that time(like if you'd be explaining stuff to an ape). Ty for the great work

you deserve more subscribers bro, hats off

Subbed brother. All three videos you've put out are concise, very informative and I've even learned a couple things more concretely because of them. I say this having played since the game came out, so I didn't really expect to learn anything new going into it as I do a bit of maths/researching myself, but the way you present the information is very well done.

Extremely concise and informative. Very well put together. Thanks for the amazing video! Subscribed!

Clear and concise and extremely professional. Straight up, this is one of those rare perfect guides

Already know it's about to be an informative banger 🔥🔥

wow, everything from the script, your editing, and voice - so good! I had no clue what to invest my resin into for a long time now because everything in my account already felt good enough. At least your video has provided me with much needed direction.

very good presentation of information! thank you so much for making this video!

this was a great video! congratulations

I am a fairly new player with only one and a half good teams (hyperbloom/nilou bloom, so there is overlap), so the advice on getting a more focused spread of artifacts that may not be BiS but see broad use is INCREDIBLY helpful. I want to be able to try out a variety of teams, so having a more resin-efficient way of gearing means I can divert more resources to leveling/ascention for new characters. Thank you so much!

This is probably the best video i would recommend to every single Genshin player that has some interest in theorycrafting and artifact optimization... cause it has insane quality, very good editing, easy explanation and some graphs accompanied by some good examples! Best video in the category (imo)

I love your RU-vid Channel and I'm so glad I found it! I love analysing and perfecting all the aspects of a game I play and I'm a huge fan of probabilities. So your videos are very enjoyable for me, thank you!

I never knew I needed a video like this but damn I did. Thanks for your hard work man, keep it up!

Great video I was just looking for a good artifact farming guide, I have been playing this game for almost 1.5 years and still I learned a lot of new things.

THIS IS SUCH A GOOD VIDEO!! THE VISUALS LIKE, I CANT IMAGING HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT YOU PUT IN TO ORGANIZE ALL THE DATA AND PLACE IT IN A NICE AND COMPRESSED VIDEO. THANKS YOU VERY MCUH FOR THIS VIDEO. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

This is the best video I've seen on genshin in a while, I've been fed up with mindless entertainment for a ehile that something as well made and informative as this is nice change of pace. I hope you keep making more videos like this. And wishing you good luck on your journey in life

Extremely well put together video for the more meta player. This is very useful.

Love the video my guy, really helped alot. Been a year and a bit since I've played and now this is what I needed back then but no one had. Cheers!

the genshin fans have a the ability to be the most inteligent people in the planet but instead they just do maths on how to rolls artifacts👺👺

It should be noted that if you have a well built team of characters with appropriate synergies and weapons, you'll never need those red artifact pieces to 36 star the abyss.

The presentation was so so so good Well researched ❤❤

Great video! I made my own math breakdown of artifact farming in a notepad app in my phone last year to determine how good my artifact stats are and decide whether to keep farming for a specific piece/set. From now on I'll refer to this since this is much cleaner and way more comprehensive.

this is amazing editing and I got to learn a lot more about the game now, thanks

Excellent video summarizing what you would intuitively pick up only after years of playing and hours of mixing/matching different combinations on the Optimizer.

I think this is the first video of yours I've seen, but I have to subscribe for this kind of quality. Amazing video!

The despair of rolling an artifact you _know_ is good, but no character will ever be able to use to it's full potential because it's on the wrong set or it has a weird niche main stat (*looking at my 47CV Archaic Petra Anemo dmg goblet that I'll never use because all my Anemo characters want EM main instead*)

Dang, while I was watching I thought this was made by some huge or otherwise well known RU-vidr. I did not expect you to have only 6k subs! Great video, and subbed. Please keep making these! Maybe a video on elemental gauge theory?

This video was very well made and informative, thanks milo, keep up the good work ❤

Well explained! I love the way you put things into perspective I'll definitely refer those who need advice to this video Thank you!

Amazingly done video! Saved and sent to some friends! Hope to see more in the future!

Finally, the video we all needed but no one was willing to make Thank you sir!

I keep coming back to this video for the specific parts but your music choice is so good I usually just let the video play out.

If the quality of videos on this channel continues to be this good, and the RU-vid algorithm actually doesn't fail, I can see this channel growing pretty quickly. But the low upload rate will probably make the algorithm end up failing to recommend this channel to too many people. At least it got me aware of the channel, and I'm glad it did. :) All these videos are great for beginners of the game, and the info is actually accurate, so I hope to see this channel grow so that newer players will actually have access to good, correct info (as I see too many new players spewing out nonsense because they heard it from some popular but untrustworthy source). Hopefully, it'll also cover more advanced topics in the future, as well, for long-time players like myself.

Subscribed yesterday, was really sad to see there were only 2 videos. Just to have another drop the next day. Ty for your work!

Amazing video! I know for a lot of players the numbers are the fun part of the game. I’m more in it for the characters and story, but obvs love a good big number as much as the next person. This video explains the stats in such an easy way even a maths dummy like me can understand! Thank you!

Wow, i just watched your other 3 videos and now this, I suscribe for sure bro :'3 👍 i hope you get more views soon, Thanks for your effort.

i can't believe you dropped the most informative videos on the platform and just dipped

This was extremely well done thank you soo much genuinely.

I already know all of this and am still watching,the vid is really well made and addressed a few very key points

Great video! Really nice quality and presentation of the information.

Can we talk about how good the video editing is ?

This hurt my brain but it gave me SOME insight now. Im subbing, and liking, and sharing it with friends given how much effort was put in this. Thank you 💖💖💖

This video is just perfect! Thanks for all the hard work.

i've played a bunch of rng substat game and i can definitely say this is a great vid esp for people who's new to this kind of game and is having trouble deciding where and how to start and improve their gear

Now this is the quality Genshin content I wish for. Great video man 🎉

I like these kind of videos. i think you would do nice if you make a category of videos on how to build a character depending on what they would substats would be best for them depending on their kits.

I hope you're still making videos! I love these guided since I'm trying my best to remove myself from too much needless grind and enjoy more characters. So these guides help a lot❤

I am a long time genshin player but this video is so good and there is so much work in it I watched til the end even tho I know all of it. Thank you for making such a video looking forward for more but dont overdo it. Stay save and healthy and you gained another follower❤

hm your so organized! i appreciate that very much. ty for the info.

Quite informative! I would love to see more videos like this. 👍🏻😃

I swear to God this is the greatest video I’ve ever watched on the game the amount of knowledge you have given me ❤❤❤

I was waiting for this video for agess .. Thanks for updating me

Incredible video. Not only is this helpful for new players who are beginning to farm artifacts for their Abyss teams, but you pointed out key suggestions for experienced players as well. A lot of players really underestimate the value of ATK%, EM, and ER and only really focus on crit rolls. That, in my opinion, is why there can be a huge gap between build damage averages. My Raiden has an Electro goblet that is 35 CV (10.5% CR, 14% CD) with 16.8% ER. It is a very difficult goblet to find an improvement for because it high rolled into both crit stats and ER (it was a 4 line start). A 42 CV Electro goblet would not be able to beat it unless it also had ER and/or ATK%, which just goes to show the value of those stats specifically on Raiden. Chasing high CV pieces is entertaining for bragging rights, but as you said, crit is not the end all be all. Like I said, fantastic video my friend.

thank you for this clear and thourough presentation, I was looking for that it is a really good guide also... the math in this is unhinged and this is exactlly what I needed

Finally someone who produced a helpful min max guide for artifacts. A lot of times I'm note certain which artifact to prioritize based on highest upgrade chance. But with the baseline rolls for base, high and peak investment I can easily filter this out now and go for the artifact with the highest upgrade chance.

Rarely commenting and liking videos but I really appreciate the effort behind your's so here I am

This video makes me treasure even more the Crimson Witch hat I got with CR main stat and 40.4% CD

Incredible content. Keep up the good work

bro ure so underrated, keep it up bro, looking forward for u on the top. god bless!

After seeing these numbers i can proudly say that i will still continue farming to perfect my pieces till the day i die

This channel needs more recognition

This is EXACTLY what I needed rn awesome!

This was super useful and very easy to understand. You explained this perfectly and efficiently so thank you very much. I'm AR 60 and I have 36 starred the abyss since 1.3 but this was still very informative since i learned a couple of things

keep up the awesome work, these vids have tremendous detail in unexplored topics!

The amount of effort put in this video is just admirable 😮🎉

Really good video. Very educational and easily understandable. Easiest sub of my life.

Thank you, this was much needed

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen made for Genshin. Thank you!!! The next and final piece to this is, ultimately how much more damage can you expect to see from investing into peak potential artifacts for a character compared to baseline and high investment? I have a gut feeling that the difference wouldn't be very substantial, and certainly not enough to be the make or break on whether or not you can clear the abyss.

I'm only 1 minute in and I'm so amazed by the quality of the video. It's so easy to understand, concise and well put together. It feels almost illegal to watch this for free xd

I always knew the probability of upgrading the substats, but you cracked the code for the 'each' substats chances to be upgraded. No wonder why my crit substats is really hard to get. Thanks man

This content is what every player what is 45+ needs. So compact but so informative keep it up homie👍🏽

Amazing content, I forgot I was subbed since I saw the first video lol. This is another gem for data driven gamers like me, thanks!!

This is an extraodinary video that highlights all the data analytics behind artifact farming, presented in digestible stamps. I think a follow-up of great value would a dedicated video on the main rules of thumbs and concepts in a team use-case. It would be tremendous to see that workflow live. Perhaps start with a team, identify the heavy hitters and their valuable substats, and demonstrate the returns on upgrading artifacts in your value buckets. It would be great to see what is the MVP for Abyss clears in terms of which characters own artifacts in certain buckets.

This video made me realise that my futile grinding of "perfect" pieces is....... futile(in a good way). What a well put video, keep making more of these man 👏👏👏

that's what I call a good guide, thanks man

Subscribed. A lot on important information on artifact farming.

Fantastitc Video. I will watch it again another time. This is so well researched and should be bookmarked by everyone who wants to get the most out of their account.
