"Iis the lobster worth consuming now that it's even more buttery?" ahh

Haha I see why my doubt was taken the wrong way, I meant it as in the story is so far forward that will it take me forever to catch up considering I won't be able to play like a crazy lot

It's worth playing, I started playing again around 5 months ago after not having played since 2.2. I just started Nod-Krai a couple days ago.

Honestly it won't take you as long as you think.

It's hard to get a gauge of reference when you're playing patches as they release, but on my alt just this past week I got through the entirety of the sumeru archon quest in about 3 days (an hour or two of gaming each day)

Also im fully f2p with absolutely no chance of buying anything so there's that aswell

SnooBooks46152026-01-11 23:35

I am also f2p aside from buying the monthly sub($5(very worth it, 2,700 primos across 30 days)).

A few good tips I can give:

Only try to pull 5-Stars that YOU want to pull; play the game however you feel most comfortable.

Don't use your resin on artifact domains until you reach AR45; when you can do level 90 Artifact Domain(s), you are guaranteed at least one 5-Star artifact. Use your resin on weekly boss rewards, and regualr boss reward for the characters you are building.

Have fun; Genshin Impact is mainly an exploration game, no need to rush anything. Don't skip dialouge(s), and enjoy the stories.

Unless I misremember AR I think I stopped playing at ar 48, and it seems that my main party is level 80... so do I just start farming new sets and stuff??

SnooBooks46152026-01-11 23:38

Yes, if you need help building your team(s) look up build guides on YouTube.

Buying welkin doesn't change the experience from f2p in any way, so in my opinion, you're still f2p. Don't understand how I lied, but okay 🤷‍♂️

So, as someone who has unhealthily played three alts all the way through to completion on this game... my "deep dive" account where I did every quest (Archon, story, world, side, hangout) only took me 6 months of playing an hour or so a day.

I realize that's a lot of time and an intimidating number, too, to be fair... BUT it does mean it's doable for you to catch up.

Also, if you're into story, repeating things you've seen before always has value, as you'll probably catch things you might not have before. 🧐

Hmmm...I've also quit sometime around the start of Natlan due to a whole host of IRL problems and just returned today. I've just finished the story up until the big war arc with Mavuika and co.

Have I missed a lot of important stuff from events? I remember things like Scara having different dialogue during your meeting in Inazuma if you've played Unreconciled Stars. Stuff like that.

I want to focus on catching up with the main story and the new region for now so I can roll and build Columbina. (I'll figure out what to do with her later team-wise. XD) I'll save all the exploration stuff for when I'm caught up. Hopefully by the end of January since I can only play on weekends.

So, to be open and honest: I actually haven't played most of the event content prior to Natlan due to being a player who started during 3.1. So I've relied on YouTube playthroughs of event content and a lot of lore reading to catch myself up.

I'm probably a bit of an exception with my willingness to do that sort of research, but you could absolutely catch yourself up with a few hours of entertainment. [There's a guide I found online](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19KYfTSNpTNXCvwbcPeN3T9Cylc0AaOIqwNysmFqOmWY/edit?usp=sharing) that does a really excellent job of summarizing a lot of the critical lore path and helping you find videos or audiobooks and such.

So, to answer your question:
> Have I missed a lot of important stuff from events?

Not if you catch up in other ways. ;)

That's it.
