Why You Might Be Farming the WRONG Way for Artifacts | Genshin Impact



Why you might just be farming the wrong way for artifacts, or at least with a skewed mentality. Many see the RNG as an insurmountable wall but is it really that difficult to get a serviceable artifact? We don’t need perfect after all…far from it.

  1. "Too much grind" is not my main complaint. No, it's that there's no progress floor – i.e. no limit on how much effort you can invest and get no return, even if you are evaluating new artefacts rationally. For a progression mechanic that is also time gated, this is both not even necessary and potentially far too punishing.

    If you could e.g. burn a large number of high rarity artefacts to predictably shift an attribute of an existing one to something more favourable, that would provide at least an assurance that your efforts aren't going to be entirely wasted. Any competent game designer should be able to build that system such that it doesn't break the intended progress rate compared to average luck not using it.

  2. The only problem I have with the Artifact RNG is How difficult it is to get a specific artifact piece.
    I have been trying to get a good timepiece of Crimson Witch set for almost a year still with no luck …

  3. True, I always tole to 20 even if I end up getting bad sub rolls, even if it ends up totally garbage I can still throw them into the next artifact, my best artifacts actually came from upgrading them with a 20 lv shitty artifact, it's like the system rewards you for this IMO as my best artifacts all came from doing this

  4. One of my early mistakes in artifact farming was trying to crit hoard , i didn't realise the value of those other stats , now that I have realised my life has become infinitely more easier

  5. the artifact system is so annoying I honestly wish it was like honkai where you can litrely grind to craft a stigmata and you can easily reroll on the set as much as you want but the artifact system in genshin is so annoying it is litrely so unpredictable I have on hat with crits rate 30% Crit Dmg 15% rate

  6. A few month or weeks ago i got crit damage circlet n crit rate substat. I am a really new player. I thought crit damage circlet can get crit damage n crit rate substat. And my newbie brain made that artifact to enhance other artifact. And now i never got another crit damage circle with crit rate sub stat. Nicely done.

  7. the thing that makes people think that artifact rolling is worse then they think is because how many you can get a day. it sometimes takes more then a week on 0 refreshes to even attempt a upgrade then you tend to be looking for. getting a base set tends to be fast, but getting a decent set is just a journey

  8. My tales of woe begin with the veridescent domain. As someone who really likes anemo and has all the anemo characters… Problem being, I keep getting maidens and barely any EM peices(just been looking for EM pieces with ER as a substat, not including my weird kazuha build, since it needs a lot more to work)

    Venti, sucrose, and sayu, have been sharing the same set for months and if I need both, kazuha has to share too.

    This wouldnt be an issue if loadouts were a thing but damn is it painful to see you've spend a a couple of months at a time grinding vv with God their maidens off pieces, 1 EM peice every 50 or so attempts, and even on that peice there's no ER and just flat stats

  9. Literally the only sub stat I care about (on my DPS) is crit rate since I always sit at around 40%, so that goblet would be insane for me. The only character I have with a solid crit ratio is Keqing with 60:120, but I don't use her anymore.

    Still don't see why I would use strongbox though. I'd rather use the pieces for XP, and I don't know why I would farm for those artifacts in the boxes. Gonna need all the artifacts I can get to be disappointed in the bad upgrade substat rolls.

  10. I’m ar 48 and I do not own one 5 star crit rate hat. I’m not saying I’ve never gotten one worth keeping. I’ve never gotten one period. I’ve spent probably like 10k resin at least on artifact domains and I’ve gotten some genuinely insane shit. But literally never one crit rate hat. Shits wild.

  11. Great vid and excellent point.

    Players really do need to temper their expectations. Comparing yourself to others makes you vain and bitter and keeps you from appreciating the things you have for what they are. And I’ve always believed that Genshin Impact, with its lack of pvp and leaderboards and any form of in-game competitive gameplay, embodies that very virtue.

  12. The day they add VV set to the strongbox is the day I’ll use my 100+ fragile resins. Use them on Emblem domain and strongbox the bad ones

  13. man since ayato came out i’ve been farming every single day on his artifact domain, most my pieces are literal god pieces but the domain hasn’t given me a single not ONE crit dmg circlet. i’m standards are so low rn i will literally take a flat def def% crit dmg circlet for him i don’t even care anymore

  14. I have no problem with the RNG since artifacts is the reason why a low spender like me could flex back on whales with my 40cv pieces.
    The only improvement I want is to atleast increase the resin cap and regen time
