You'll NEVER farm artifacts the same way again (FULL Artifact Guide for 4.0)

Farming Artifacts in Genshin Impact

This section discusses the challenges of artifact farming in Genshin Impact and provides tips on how to reduce the difficulty and maximize efficiency.

Choosing Artifact Sets for Characters

• Identify the characters you want to focus on (8-10 characters).

• Determine which characters absolutely need a specific artifact set.

• Note down the sets that are best in slot for each character.

• Consider alternative sets for characters that can get away with multiple sets.

Maximizing Efficiency

• Use the Strong Box smartly by farming synergistic domains.

• Consider using emblem set artifacts from the Strong Box for multiple characters, such as Raiden and Yae.

• Take advantage of two-piece artifact sets for certain characters, like Ryden with a two-piece attack set.

• Farm the Deepwood Gilded domain for hyperbloom or dendro teams.

Misconceptions about the Strong Box

• Some people consider it a scam, but it can be valuable if used strategically.

• Eventually, you will have more XP than good artifacts, making it worthwhile to trade useless artifacts for new chances at good ones.

New Artifact Sets in Fontaine

• The new artifact sets introduced in Fontaine may not be as universally efficient as Emblem of Severed Fates and Deepwood Memories initially were.

• Flower of Life stands out as an amazing set for Fischl.

New Section

This section discusses the best artifacts for certain characters and the importance of managing crit rate properly. Lonnie and Zhao are mentioned as the best characters for now, with two-piece sets being a decent option for others like Keqing and Mona.

Best Artifacts for Characters

• Lonnie's artifacts are highly recommended if you can manage his crit rate effectively.

• Zhao's artifacts are also considered the best in slot.

• Two-piece artifact sets can be used as a stop-gap measure for characters like Keqing and Mona.

New Section

This section emphasizes the importance of farming artifact sets rather than camping out in one domain forever. It is suggested to farm sets that provide extreme value based on individual preferences.

Farming Artifact Sets

• It is not recommended to camp out in one domain forever unless you are specifically aiming for certain characters or building an aggregate team for official.

• Farming artifact sets provides more value, especially for beginners who can benefit from various useful stats offered by different sets.

• The availability of multiple choices allows players to be picky and focus on domains that offer the most value.

New Section

This section explains how to recognize good artifact pieces and avoid wasting resin on subpar ones. The breakdown of stats for different types of artifacts is discussed.

Recognizing Good Artifact Pieces

• Flowers always have HP as their main stat, feathers have flat attack, while sands can vary between HP, attack, defense, elemental mastery (EM), or energy recharge (ER) depending on character needs.

• Substats play a crucial role in determining whether an artifact piece is good or not.

• Goblets are often the hardest piece to obtain due to their potential Elemental Damage Bonus stat, which is valuable but difficult to acquire.

• HP percent and attack percent cannot appear as both main stat and substat on the same artifact piece.

• Hats generally prioritize crit rate or crit damage, but some characters may require other stats like HP or elemental mastery.

New Section

This section provides guidelines for evaluating the quality of artifact pieces based on their substats. The importance of not neglecting any valuable substat is emphasized.

Evaluating Artifact Quality

• For most damaging characters, crit rate and crit damage are the most valuable substats to look for in flower and feather artifacts.

• Goblets may sometimes lack ideal crit value but can still be useful if they have other valuable stats, especially when they belong to a set that benefits the character's playstyle.

• The hat artifact typically aims for crit rate or crit damage as the main stat, with the other one desired as a substat.

• All useful substats should be considered, and it is recommended to aim for a reasonable balance between crit rate and crit damage (around a 1:2 ratio).

New Section

This section advises on leveling artifacts efficiently and making informed decisions during early stages of building characters.

Efficient Artifact Leveling

• When initially building up characters, it is suggested to stop leveling artifacts at level 16 until obtaining a reasonable set for all characters.

• Leveling from 1 to 16 requires similar resources as leveling from 16 to 20, so stopping at level 16 allows players to assess an artifact's potential before committing more resources.

• Flower and feather artifacts can afford to be more picky with their substats compared to goblets and hats.

• It is acceptable to have less-than-optimal stats on goblets if they provide other useful attributes required by the character's set.

Timestamps beyond this point were not provided in the transcript.

Building Characters and Considering External Buffs

The speaker discusses the importance of building characters with some flexibility to account for missed skills or imperfect rotations. They also emphasize considering external buffs provided by certain characters, such as Bennett or Sucrose, which can affect the desired stats for a character.

Factors to Consider in Building Characters

• It is important to have some wiggle room in character builds to accommodate mistakes or imperfections in skill usage.

• External buffs from characters like Bennett or Sucrose can influence the desired stats for a character.

• Attack is still useful on characters like Bennett, but it may be more beneficial on other team compositions.

• Different characters may require completely different stats, such as full Elemental Mastery for Klee, Kazuha, and hydro characters on a Ningguang team.

Farming Artifacts and Easier-to-Build Characters

The speaker discusses the ease of farming artifacts for certain characters and how focusing on these characters can help beat difficult content faster. They also mention that not all three artifact pieces need perfect substats and explain the benefits of focusing on main stats instead.

Easier-to-Build Characters

• Some characters like Klee, Kazuha, and hydro characters on a Ningguang team benefit greatly from full Elemental Mastery on all three artifact pieces.

• Farming artifacts for these specific stat requirements is much easier compared to balancing substats.

• Choosing easier-to-build characters like these can be helpful if one dislikes farming artifacts extensively.

Artifact Standards and Min-Maxing

The speaker explains how they determine when a character build is complete based on their personal standards. They discuss criteria such as energy recharge and crit rate values, as well as the importance of upgrading artifacts over time.

Determining Artifact Standards

• Personal standards for artifact builds depend on factors like energy recharge and crit rate values.

• For damage-focused builds, a crit rate value of around 200-210 is preferred, along with other necessary stats.

• The speaker's favorite characters have higher standards, with their best-built character having a remarkable build due to significant investment.

• Initially, aim for around 180 crit value for best characters when starting artifact farming.

Progression in Artifact Farming

The speaker discusses their approach to artifact farming and how they gradually improve their character builds over time. They emphasize the importance of planning and upgrading artifacts strategically.

Gradual Progression in Artifact Farming

• Start by getting reasonably good enough artifacts for all characters, focusing on crit value and other useful substats.

• Afterward, return to favorite domains and characters to further optimize their builds by increasing crit value and replacing old pieces.

• Upgraded artifacts can be used as new pieces or handed down to other characters, minimizing wasted resources.

Using Fragile Resin Artifacts

The speaker addresses the question of whether it is worth using fragile resin on artifacts. They encourage players to use fragile resin if better artifacts are needed and explain that using resin regularly is more important than saving fragile resin.

Using Fragile Resin Artifacts

• Fragile resin should be used if better artifacts are needed; it is not a waste if it helps improve character builds.

• Regularly using daily resin is crucial; not using it would be wasting resources.
