I think it's funny to let these people in just to tell them I don't have any flowers left (I play on PlayStation so I'm even wasting their time while typing lol)
Shadourow2026-01-17 14:11
Meh, just tell the to take your flowers
All you can eat buffet !
GrayFullbuster642026-01-17 14:20
Even better
yorozoyas2026-01-17 15:54
I dont tell them, I just let them in to watch them load, to then silently leave. Never even get so much as a hello or a can I take the mats from them.
ItaJohnson2026-01-17 16:50
That’s been my experience too.
TheSaiguy2026-01-17 22:33
I grabbed all my Bina mats and intended to be a petty bitch but literally everyone has politely asked me for them
Lurehn2026-01-18 02:38
I’ve never actually had someone take without asking either, though I’ve also disabled co-op so far this patch. Maybe I’m just lucky, but I’ve also somehow never needed the mats people want myself
Fancy-Letterhead-4772026-01-17 16:55
I say flowers are available leave it on auto invite, collect them all and then afk while I go to work
GrayFullbuster642026-01-17 19:34
Jesus, calm down Satan
Saahil_082026-01-17 13:58
These past few days have been hectic even Furina's release wasn't as crowded as is Bina's like every 10 or so min. I get a request.😭😭
Cocoatrice2026-01-17 17:01
I am pretty sure it's recency bias. Also I don't know why are people surprised. Popular character, anticipated by many. Both "Archon" characters collectors, Fatui collectors, meta followers and just people with good taste, all want her. Also I barely got any requests myself. Maybe like 5 in a day, when I was afking for hours or doing quests.
neogeoman1232026-01-17 22:11
I'm sorry but this is the most amount of request i've ever gotten over such a short time since I started playing 5 years ago. Shit's insane (also the fact that you need to farm bina's mats like 3 days in a row just to get enough might be the reason for all of this).
Furicel2026-01-18 01:05
Wait, really?? I've gotten enough for her in two trips. Two days ago, and today, and I somehow got enough for her
MaeveOathrender2026-01-18 02:15
That's only if you rush the archon quest too, I believe.
Goudeyy2026-01-18 03:12
Nope. I’m still pre-Natlan story-wise and got my Bina 90 from just exploring. There’s enough to max her in 2 cycles.
Edit: In hindsight I do buy the battle pass and that grants you an extra 15 so I have no idea if that makes a significant difference.
MaeveOathrender2026-01-18 03:17
Then there must be some super special secret extra flowers that the game deigned to show only to you, because I've cleared the entire map out twice and I'm still more than a dozen short for 90. Even with the 10 extra from the vendor.
Goudeyy2026-01-18 03:18
Did you find the 1 chest that has a good handful?
MaeveOathrender2026-01-18 03:19
I haven't been rushing exploration, so probably not unless it was directly next to some plants.
AmberLeafSmoke2026-01-18 06:03
"I've cleared the entire map out twice." Lol
Furicel2026-01-18 05:20
Huh, I didn't buy the battle pass, but still maximized her with 2 cycles. All I got externally was 2 from my buddy's map, the rest were AQ + 2 cycles.
argoncrystals2026-01-18 02:13
you only need two total rounds
there's the archon quest rewards, all collectibles, and an npc that can sell you 10
Burntoastedbutter2026-01-18 04:56
I just find it funny how people are still requesting to Join mine when I have a Columbina pfp too 😭
Furicel2026-01-18 05:21
I mean, if you gathered her mats since launch, you already got enough to maximize her, so it's still a worth attempt for those who got her later
Burntoastedbutter2026-01-18 05:32
Yeah unfortunately I didn't do that on her launch day. I pulled for her while at work, then said I'd get her flowers later. But... I was too tired after work.
Khai_17052026-01-17 17:14
you're just biased. i remembered cyno release and i got a join request every 5 minutes or so
DungeonEnvy2026-01-17 18:00
Cyno release was *wild* you'd hit accept and someone would just disappear into the desert, say thanks, and leave
Khai_17052026-01-17 18:05
every release was wild
genshin_impact-2026-01-17 19:07
Nah, even my experiences, columbinas has been the worst offender😭
DoomedDragon7662026-01-17 20:19
I bet its because columbina feels like more of a must pull than ever, everyone's got or trying to get her so a lot less people have flowers to let others grab? Pure guesswork based on vibes
genshin_impact-2026-01-17 20:23
Ngl, just because of the whole winter icelea theft going on, im collected all of them from my world the second the respawn.
I dont even have columbina
Thundergod2502026-01-17 20:41
I don't remember this phase on Sigwinne
DoomedDragon7662026-01-17 20:17
Those scarabs were SO annoying to get i don't blame people for world hopping to grab the 20 or so that aren't in some cave in each one. Not to mention the map layer issue from back then. Bina pullers have it easy lol
RubApprehensive25122026-01-17 18:54
There are a lot more furina flowers though when she released. Plus, it was not like prefarming for her mats were 100% out of the table.
iguanacatgirl2026-01-17 19:39
This, the prefarming bit is the real difference maker in what makes this more crowded than furinas.
Kostuchan2026-01-17 20:55
There are 79 Furina flowers and 69 Columbina flowers. You get an extra 30 for Bina after finishing AQ.
And no, you couldn't prefarm for Furina since her mats (both flowers and boss) was released alongside her.
Jarvis-Vi-Britannia2026-01-17 20:33
I literally put "empty on columbina mats" + columbina avatar yet I still got atleast 5 mfs joining to ask for her flower each day.
corallein2026-01-17 21:40
Your mistake is with Genshin players and reading
OperationDifferent202026-01-18 00:09
It's weird to me to see others saying this because I've spent quite a lot of time on the game since the update. Done the aq, got about 70% exploration amount total for the new area and done some of the major world quests and have not once had a single join request, and yes my world is set to join after permission granted.
Past-Muffin76472026-01-18 00:46
Same!! Like there isn't a day that there's no one trying to enter my world with Columbina DP ever since her release. That doesn't happen before and I've been playing since 1.0
And there's nothing I can do because I also pulled Columbina, and my world already lost all her flowers 💀🥀
Mindless-Product-9112026-01-17 14:09
I got invites for the flowers on THE FIRST DAY like can you just do the archon quest first holy not everything is about lvl 90 and meta
PrimarchVulk4n2026-01-17 16:24
Oh sorry mister busy man if I love maxing m'y characters on day one
TheChosenerPoke2026-01-17 16:35
what’s wrong with wanting to level her so you can use her in the archon quest? (well, in this one you don’t ever use your own team but you dont know that before doing it)
Plus the archon quest is like 4-6 hours, if you have free time it’s totally doable on the day
AutumnFirefly282026-01-17 14:55
lol I’ve been opening my world to let people get her mats since I’m not in a rush and I’ve only had one person come 😂 I’ve even been putting in my signature that they’re free to take them but I guess the hours I’ve been logging on are a bit iffy
_InFiNiTy162026-01-17 17:00
Same, i even change my signature too and only got 1 request so far. I also think it's because of my gaming hour. But it's also probably Asia server doesn't really take mats from other world
AutumnFirefly282026-01-17 17:20
I’m on the EU server and I’ve been logging on close to midnight after I’ve finished my part-time job so everyone else is probably asleep for me 😅
nexxlevelgames2026-01-17 15:00
LOL. cant wait more than a day!
CapableTear17642026-01-17 15:17
At least its not a guessing game on what they want
guylovesleep2026-01-17 15:45
just change your profile to columbina like me
kkazukii2026-01-17 16:39
Didn't work for me at one point I got 6 requests in 3 minutes
Icy-Childhood-45872026-01-17 17:20
People spam all the join button in the coop list hoping to land on something.
guylovesleep2026-01-17 17:50
i was very lucky it seems
Doneifundone2026-01-17 18:02
That's what I did too, no requests whatsoever lol
Dudeskio2026-01-18 00:29
I did this, as well, to see what would happen.
Haven't got a single co-op request since, other than the people I typically play with.
Clean_Pollution_50122026-01-17 15:46
The moment I started AQ/WQ, everyone be goddamn "LET ME IN!!" every 10-15 minutes. Then I set my world to direct join with status letting them know to take whatever they need and it took around 5-6 hours of me AFK to even have 1 ppl join. smh
JanPapajT90M2026-01-17 16:53
I am not sure if focused mode disables coop but literally noone tried to join my world during AQ
Crissa_012026-01-17 16:56
It doesn't, I had to do the whole (first, when we confess) curatorium of secrets cutscene cuz I let someone in and it was looong
Cyclophosphamide_2026-01-17 15:55
I’ve been letting players take my flowers if they beat me in tcg. No requests yet!
BarrySwami2026-01-17 18:31
I have never quite figured out that game.. It is always luck based and I suck at that.
No-Video-34632026-01-17 15:58
I’ve been trolling them ngl. I put in my signature that I have flowers after Ive finished collecting all of my flowers.
No_Discussion84572026-01-17 18:27
thats insane
_Carcinus_2026-01-17 19:28
The kind of stuff Dottore does on his free time
HolyBiscuit692026-01-18 00:13
When the devil is on break, he asks you to cover his shift
jupiterluvssyou2026-01-17 16:07
i actually do have extra flowers bc i grew most of mine in the pot
Only-Poetry-26052026-01-17 16:23
I had someone enter my world for a world boss only for them to disappear to steal my flowers. The audacity of these people.
rednova20062026-01-17 16:27
Arnt noway that literally my name in wuwa and it tho I can understand why
SubstantialSalary4432026-01-17 16:31
Just make colombina your avatar and no one will bother
Weak-Association62572026-01-17 16:35
One day people will realise you can just disable coop requests
zooap632026-01-17 16:56
so much this. they make posts and talk shit when they can just disable coop and get on with life
Panty-Sniffer-122026-01-17 17:14
Won't get the attention they are seeking from strangers online
Icy-Childhood-45872026-01-17 17:17
You do have a point.
Cocoatrice2026-01-17 17:05
One day people will realize that not everyone is a stingy jerk. I always let people in, when I'm not busy. Not seeing the reason why would I not.
Weak-Association62572026-01-17 17:06
I mean I’m happy for you. OP is not happy about people sending request when he can solve the problem in 5 secs
OneHitSkill2026-01-17 17:33
I dont know OPs exact situation but for me I just hope that someone joins and asks for help on the local legends instead of asking for flowers
I really enjoy playing coop but currently its really a though time, like current likly scenarios are 90% Bina mats and 9.5% Ineffa mats and 0.5% something else
parthmestry2026-01-17 17:35
That's not what they said lmao. If you don't want people bothering you then just turn auto-reject invites on.
galathyniu-s2026-01-17 17:09
And even if you don't want to disable it for whatever reason, it's so easy to ignore requests. The request stays in your screen for what? 5 seconds? I just ignored them and now if someone appears they can take whatever they want, my Columbina is lvl 90 anyway.
Charybd1ss2026-01-17 17:10
They don't disable and then cry about it 24/7
Khai_17052026-01-17 17:15
i let people in because they might need some other things.
Zonnebloempje2026-01-17 19:21
Yeah, but that means I also can't play with my husband, using a combination of characters that we do not have in one account... I have Albedo, but not Durin, so I want to try that out. Or Klee with Albedo, or my Columbina with his Nefer...
ItaJohnson2026-01-17 16:49
At least the joiner is up front about it. I don’t have her nor am I likely to pull for her, so I would have likely let the joiner in. Assuming I could trust the individual to not f*ck up my world or stats.
Harley_Hsi2026-01-17 16:58
I got her on Wednesday and maxed her out today so I don't understand the need to invade other worlds. Even at lvl 70 she was overkill for abyss and stegian isn't out yet.
Ricksaw262026-01-17 17:07
I just finished farming them for today, and got her to level 90, now I am waiting for someone to try to enter my world, and when they do, I will them "sure, if you find any you can take them".
baguetteispain2026-01-17 17:11
In less than 30 minutes yesterday, I got two requests for the flowers
I couldn't accept the second as I was in the middle of a fight and I am not comfortable enough with my PS5 to do it in a second
The first one was nice enough to help me tho
caucassius2026-01-17 17:12
team of all time
Total_Preparation7722026-01-17 17:15
Lol I collect all the flowers then let them in
Neuroticaine2026-01-17 17:51
Y'all know you can disable random world join requests, right? Even if you like it, it's probably best to disable it when you're building new characters lol
irrelevant109th2026-01-17 18:28
I disable my coop until I level 90 mine and then change it back
DevinY12026-01-17 18:30
I had to turn my join requests off cause it got so bad. (Plus, I was mad I lost the 50/50, so I just locked people out)
Fickle-Target-13222026-01-17 18:41
I take all my flowers and still let people in so i can see the disappointment.
paradox_valestein2026-01-17 18:42
I uses a funny way to ask them. Work most of the time lol. I think a creative and funny way to ask makes people want to help you :3
Willster3282026-01-17 18:50
Luckily got someone yesterday who didnt pull Bina, but had the region explored. Got my flowers and helped them clear all the Local Legends in NK, was actually a pretty wholesome experience
TheEffanIneffable2026-01-17 18:51
I auto rejected requests the last few days just to save myself the annoyance. My Bina is done now, so tomorrow when they’ve respawned, I’ll reopen the request to join.
Chandra-huuuugggs2026-01-17 18:56
I’ve just gone on ahead and rejected world join requests. I need those flowers too but also was super pissed seeing them pop up as I was doing the quests. I let my friend take some while I’m like 60ish pity on guarantee for now
UnknownPhos2026-01-17 19:07
Untill now i only received a columbina that needed three flowers and gave me luck to get columbina on my pulls
That and an aether that wanted to flex his triple crown on cryo regisvine
Radiant_Psychology232026-01-17 19:15
It only took me 3 days to maximise Columbina, without robbing other worlds.
jibbycanoe2026-01-17 19:24
I turned off join requests after like 5 mins. I collected all of them 2x after reset, got the chest ones, the flower seller guy and the 2nd act just gave me enough to go to lvl90 last night. I'll turn it back on today but they won't respawn until tomorrow afternoon. Happy to let people have them now that I got all I needed from my own world. I assume the requests will drop significantly soon if they haven't already
NaaNaaNaurDont2026-01-17 19:45
Which is truthfully useless, between the quest and what's already available in our world you only need 3 days to level her up to 90. People are so impatient
Electrical-Call-61602026-01-17 20:15
Come on dude, let us in, our Bina is kinda flower-less
Thee1Sp3lunky2026-01-17 20:44
6
DragonriderDark2026-01-17 20:57
Only had like 2 requests. Funny thing is, if you wait 3 days, you can raise Columbina fully, minus the stupid weekly boss reset.
lesparisiennesdumon2026-01-17 20:57
No it fr pmo because ive made my signature “no i dont have bina flowers” and ppl still request.. JUST WAIT TWO DAYS GODDDD
Ok_Project_92952026-01-17 21:02
The Furina incident all over again...
-_zany_-2026-01-17 21:10
At least you'll know they were here for the flowers 😭
crickastic2026-01-17 21:25
I have gotten so many requests like IM SORRY BUT IM SOCIALLY ANXIOUS
JettFeather2026-01-17 21:33
I remember being that person. Cyno’s beetles were just not easy to get to if you hadn’t finished Jeht’s quest yet, and they released at the same time. And the catch. I hated fishing for it but I got it done in a few days because I went to other people’s worlds for their fish.
AlreadyHalfXehanort2026-01-17 21:35
I *wish* my co-op requests were just people who wanted materials. Most of the time it's bored people. The last person I invited came in, we greeted each other, they asked me what I was doing, I told them I was mining ore to craft a weapon, they said cool, and then there was 5 minutes of awkward silence as they followed me around before leaving. Like, I'm sorry, but I let people into my world to help them, not to entertain them.
Zestyclose_Comment962026-01-17 21:37
I dont mind people taking my flowers, most of the time i dont need them anyways. I just wish people were nicer about it. Basic manners feel alien nowadays
Esdeath792026-01-17 21:40
don't worry folks, tomorrow it is finally over
Mortwight2026-01-17 23:12
The plants respawn faster than older zones.
MarkElf22042026-01-17 23:13
Flowers already respawned, people shouldn't need to do this at all anymore.
Deficient_Bread2026-01-17 23:16
How is this post even allowed who fucking cares
Accomplished-Art19622026-01-17 23:28
I mean…I did get her and Ineffa day 1…
I won both 50/50s, got Ineffa at exactly 76 pity, and 14 pity Columbina basically gave me a heart attack. Sometimes, people just have luck like that.
Alone-Marsupial30032026-01-17 23:52
I literally set my signature to "No, I don't have Columbina flowers" and so far I haven't gotten any join requests. (I do have flowers but I'm fed up of people asking for them lol)
Fritz_Water_Bottle2026-01-17 23:55
Her signature dish also needs them.
Tripdrakony2026-01-18 00:21
Patients is a virtue, as many would say. Sadly, it's rare
TzeroOcne2026-01-18 00:45
I'm using (no bina mats) for my signature and it works, I play for 7 hours uninterrupted, maybe I got lucky
Hunter_Crona2026-01-18 00:50
Yeah? And bro needs some flowers, like come on
Unusual__Luck2026-01-18 00:50
I've gotten into a habit of never accepting a join request from someone with a new character as their pfp because they always. want. materials.
Vengeful_Grass2026-01-18 00:54
90% of world joins I've been rejected
76zzz292026-01-18 01:34
Got the same minutes (or houre I don't know) I didn't let it in because I already collected all the flower from the map... Lakeberry and wierd crystal flower too
BloodSuckingToga2026-01-18 01:47
literally the only reason i'm NOT doing the same thing as these guys is cause i'm skipping to guaruntee high sandrone cons

there's the archon quest rewards, all collectibles, and an npc that can sell you 10

And no, you couldn't prefarm for Furina since her mats (both flowers and boss) was released alongside her.
