Fastest way to maximise character companionship level
I am resinless so I decided to find out theoretically how fast you can get a character's companionship level to maximum. I'm only considering the general case, i.e., not spending 220 fragile resins in a single day.
Calculations are based on AR60 WL9, maximum teapot level
\----------
Currenrtly there are only 4 ways of gaining companionship exp:
1. Daily commissions & Bonus Reward from Katheryne
2. Spending Resin
3. Random Events
4. Serenitea Pot
maximum companionship level needs 29,100 exp in total
# First the more "casual" grinding case:
Dailies: 340 exp/day
* 60exp from each commission, 100 from the bonus reward => 60 \* 4 + 100 = 340 exp/day
Resin: 180 exp/day
* you get slightly more exp for world bosses & weekly bosses than domains/ley lines, but here I'll make things simple, assusming only resins in domains and ley lines, 20 exp for 20 resin.
* 1 resin/8 minutes => 180 resin/day => 180 exp/day
Random Events: 150 exp/day
* Depending on the event, you get either 10 or 15 exp per event, each account can claim rewards from random events up to 10 times/day => 15 \* 10 = 150 exp/day
Serenitea Pot: 120 exp/day
* 5 exp / hr => 5 \* 24 = 120 exp/day
That gives 340 + 180 + 150 + 120 = **790 exp/day for single player**, but you can actually claim double exp in co-op mode except for serenitea pot (yes you can get double exp from Katheryne's bonus reward as well), that gives 2(340 + 180 + 150) + 120 = **1460 exp/day**
So for most players, it'll take **20 days** (29,100/1460 ≈ 19.93) to get 2 characters' namecard (co-op mode), or **37 days** (29,100/790 ≈ 36.84) to get 4 characters' namecard
\----------
# Now for the fun case
Assume you are pulling for the newest character in an upcoming update, and want their namecard so badly, just how fast can you get it?
First I need to clarify the amount of companionship exp you get from spending resin - you get 45 exp from world bosses, and 70 exp from weekly bosses, so to maximise your companionship income, **you should spend all your resin on bosses**, and this will give you **221 exp/day**
* 180 resin/day => 1260 resin/week, 13 Weekly Bosses costs 3 \* 30 + 10 \* 60 = 690 resin, and the rest is enough for 14.25 world bosses, this gives 13 \* 70 + 14.25 \* 45 = 1551.25 exp/week, or roughly 221 exp/day from spending resin.
which in total will give you 2(340 + **221** \+ 150) + 120 = **1542 exp/day**, or roughly **19 days** to get the new namecard.
*BUT how* ***soon exactly*** *you may ask?*
To make sure you get the namecard ASAP, you made the following diabolical preparations before maintenance starts:
1. Capped resin, so you can start grinding ASAP.
2. Capped Serenitea Pot Companionship exp.
3. Logged off in front a boss, so you can start spending resin as soon as you got the new character without wasting a second.
Genshin's maintenance time are pretty much the same in recent years: 12PM GMT+8, but the server almost always open earlier than that, so lets assume you logged in as soon as the server opens, and immediately got the new character, you happily start grinding at 12PM.
Immediately, you got 500 exp from Seneritea Pot, and 560 exp from 4 weekly bosses, almost a day ahead of other players, with 50 resin left, and 16 hours until daily server reset.
* First 3 Weekly Bosses costing 30 resin, 4 weekly bosses giving 280 exp, doubling it to 560 in co-op mode.
5 Server days, 112 hours until weekly reset, by the end of the week you earned:
* 2 \* 340 \* 5 = 3400 exp from dailies
* 2 \* 150 \* 5 = 1500 exp from random events
* 2(70 \* **9** \+ 45 \* **8**) = 1980 exp from resin: 840 regenerated resin and 50 from the first day, 540 on the rest of the **9** Weekly Bosses, and 320 for **8** World Bosses, 30 resin left.
* 112 \* 5 = 560 exp from Serenitea Pot
* 1060 exp from the "preparations"
Right before the second week of the new update, you already secured 8500 compainionship exp, for the next 168 hours you continued the grind, and earned another 10870 exp, only 9730 exp left.
* 2 \* 340 \* 7 = 4760 exp from dailies
* 2 \* 150 \* 7 = 2100 exp from random events
* 2(70 \* **13** \+ 45 \* **15**) = 3170 exp from resin: 1260 regenerated resin and 30 from the first week, 690 on 13 Weekly Bosses and 600 on World Bosses.
* 168 \* 5 = 840 exp from Serenitea Pot
It's now Sunday of the third week, 1 minute before the daily reset. You have already earned 9230 exp from the previous 6 days, 500 more exp and you can get that namecard you've been dreaming to get, now sitting in front of your computer, eagarly waiting for server reset.
To make sure you get the most amount of exp in the shortest amount of time, you need to complete all 4 daily commissions in coop mode and collect the Bonus Reward from Katheryne.
* 4 Commissions in co-op mode giving 480 exp, but you are 20 exp short.
The time has come, you earned all 4 Encounter points within seconds and collected the Bonus reward from Katheryne, you got the namecard, it's been **424 hours and 30 seconds** since the new version came out, and you already have the newst character namecard. Congratulations (you psycho)!
