Much more exploring and leveling Varesa, Genshin Impact Day 53, 54, 55, 56
Hello all. I’m posting less and less, sorry about that. I want to say it’s because a lot of the stuff I do now is not as new or interesting anymore, but I have been exploring a lot of new lands so maybe that’s not true. Guess I honestly just forget, so that’s why I’m posting earlier in the day now. But I did a lot the past days, I had to cut a lot of photos out!
I explored more of Natlan as well as the island there, both to get Varesa’s flowers and to kill more little dinos for the materials she needs. I saw some giraffe looking things and a penguin, some strange stones too. This flying dragon (?) stone thing led me to a small island south where some more flowers were, so that was nice. After some more Talent domains that I did with the help of someone else again I could also level Varesa’s Talents some more. I still have books left but I didn’t have any dino materials so I’ll do my best to get more of those tomorrow.
Waiting for Varesa’s flowers to respawn was kinda annoying before I could ascend her but at least they’re not very difficult to find. I’ll need more for the next ascension though! Usually I leave my characters at level 70 but I think it’s about time I ascend them to 80 as well, especially because now a lot of times I don’t really know what to spend my Resin on. Also it’s getting a bit annoying to see “highly dangerous” wherever I go lol. I already fought the boss for Varesa a bunch, he’s kinda easy actually just takes a bit longer cause he has a lot of HP.
I reached Rank 48 too!! Closer to 50 everyday…
I explored more in Fontaine because I needed the stuff there from the sea creatures for Varesa’s weapon. It’s really fun to explore the ocean, and interesting to farm those materials because you don’t even have to actually fight them, the powers underwater don’t have anything to do with your character strength (I assume?). I also leveled Chevreuse a bit because people told me she’s very good with Varesa. Her boss is a bit further away though, so I’ll have to get back to that later. A bigger issue is her weapon… I only have a few spears for her, what can I give her? Or maybe craft for her? Please let me know!
I also finally got Jean ascended! I had actually farmed her boss a while ago already but never got to ascending her, also because I didn’t have enough Hilichurl masks. But I did it! I wanted to level her when I remembered poor Collei was still stuck at 50, so I decided to prioritize her first. Even though I don’t actually use Collei with Varesa and all now, I still want to use her in teams without Varesa. The mushrooms are annoying though, there are so little in that mushroom forest and the other locations are far away… but I could ascend her!
And from the free blue Wish I got a 5 star bow?! Oh yes, as if I hadn’t enough bows lol. Okay, what do I do with this now? Give it to Fischl or Collei? I was just about to level Stringless for Fischl. I also have quite some Starglitter, what should I spend it on? I could get a Constellation for either Fischl or Collei, right? Or can I only buy them if I don’t have them already? Or a weapon, maybe a spear for Chevreuse? Let me know what’s best.
Last slide is all my weapons, so let me know what I should give to who!
All in all I did quite some exploring the past few days, I took a lot of pics of that but had to cut them out due to the photo limit here, sad. But it was fun! I like Natlan, but the enemies can be really strong… Fontaine I mostly explored underwater, I like it a lot there too but the movement can still be a bit clunky, maybe I just need to get used to it. Same with the Natlan dinos when you like turn into them, I prefer just staying as the characters.
Next up I still want to ascend Varesa to 80 but I need to wait for her flowers to respawn. In the meantime I think I want to work on Chevreuse. Though that reminds me of something annoying, the weapon thing with Varesa where it like locks her HP and you need to heal enough to get rid of it, it’s really annoying. And I thought Jean would be perfectly fine with that cause she heals a lot with her burst, but sometimes that’s not even enough and I end up just never getting rid of Varesa’s HP thing. Does my Jean just need better healing? Is Chevreuse gonna do this better? Because my Varesa really ends up dying a lot in battle because of it… Let me know! Also about Chevreuse’s weapon, I’m fine with crafting anything if there’s something good for her. See you tomorrow, bye bye

You can give the 5 stars now to Fischl.
Yeah stringless is great too. Lots of good options for bows.
And yes for underwater exploration stats doesn't seems to matter, except HP to be able to take hits, so just take out your highest Level/HP character while diving. And you could also put Freminet in the team, even at lvl 1 and never switching to him, just for his exploration passive of -35% stamina spent underwater.
Starglitter shop is nice for characters/cons, fates and crowns as you can see, at least it's what most players get.
For the characters displayed you can only get 1 copy of each/month and they rotate every month, it's also only standard 4\* that were here from the beginning of the game.
It's up to you if you think a Fischl or Xiangling constellation is worth it right now, or if you prefer to wait for shop rotation, or even save a stockpile of starglitter to get lot of Fates when in need of them someday.
Starglitter shop rotations are as follow :
**• January & July :** *Fischl & Xiangling*
**• February & August :** *Beidou & Noelle*
**• March & September :** *Ningguang & Xingqiu*
**• April & October :** *Razor & Amber*
**• May & November :** *Bennett & Lisa*
**• June & December :** *Barbara & Kaeya*
As for new chars or constellations it's also depends on your current resources, notably Moras and Hero's Wits, since a new char mean yet a lot more time/resources building them.
Depends on your priorities honestly.
P.s. If you ever need resources for a character and are in the NA server I could give my UID!
Congrats on the Skyward Harp! Man, it seems like just a couple weeks ago you were starved for bows, but look at you now! Skyward Harp's special power isn't great (except for the 20% crit damage, which is quite welcome). In general, weapons that deal additional physical damage deal too little additional physical damage for it to matter. However, this will still be a very nice bow to have - just about any 5-star weapon is simply going to be considerably more powerful than 4-star alternatives in terms of raw damage, and Skyward Harp is no exception!
Chevreuse's favorite weapon is Favonius Lance, if you happened to get one. It helps provide Energy to herself and her teammates. Her best crafted weapon is probably Rightful Reward, as it restores energy to her when she gets healed and also provides her with extra max HP. If possible, build Chevreuse with a lot of HP, because her heals are more powerful the more max HP she has.
Chevy's healing MIGHT help with the problem you've been having with Varesa's Bond of Life she gets from her weapon. You're right - it's a pain to deal with unless you have sufficient healing in your party! The weapon gives Varesa powerful buffs - but only if you manage to heal away that Bond of Life. If you can't do that reliably, the weapon is probably worse than nothing! Can be tough for a newer player to deal with, and that's something more experienced players sometimes forget.
As others have mentioned, you're very limited in the characters you can buy with Starglitter. Only two are available each month, and the shop rotates the same pairs of characters on a six-month rotation. Unfortunately, Collei is not one of the available characters! Fischl's in the rotation, though, and happens to be available this month.
For both of them, C1 isn't great, but it's a step on the path toward their good Constellations, so is worth getting. It doesn't matter much which one you pick.
Now that you have the harp, it's pretty much the better bow for Fischl, so you can keep Stringless for someone else.
Have fun getting characters to 80, that's where I find getting the gemstones really becomes a slog. But levelling to 80 (or even 90) should help with Varesa's health.
