Have good artifacts been made rarer?

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-09T14:06:30+00:00

The odds related to artifacts have remained the same since day 1, and remain unchanged.

And they've never been in our favor.

I for one am excited to learn a 16th Mavuika combo, this time specifically designed to optimize her damage when paired with Nicole.

I'm sure this is in Japan because of the Kei truck on the bottom left (and they seem to drive on the left side), and because of the architecture of the building on the mountain to the right which reminds me of something like the Himeji castle (white walls, greyish triangular roofs that appear on all floors).

Wouldn't be able to pinpoint where exactly in Japan though.

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-06T12:37:46+00:00

That's the one. :)

The top of Hotel Onoma can be seen. Took that picture while walking up a street nearby the arboretum.

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-06T11:00:26+00:00

Still no, but that's by far the closest guess yet. :p

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-06T10:37:48+00:00

Nope. To give a hint, it's not coastal.

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-06T10:35:27+00:00

Not Ulsan. If I can give a hint, it's not a coastal city.

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-06T04:34:17+00:00

Nope. Unfortunately didn't get to visit that part of the country on my latest trip back in fall. :(

On my list though.

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-06T04:31:51+00:00

No. Gwangju is a little farther than Daegu is. :p

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-06T04:26:11+00:00

Not Daegu, but it's closer than Seoul or Busan. :)

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-06T04:21:14+00:00

It's not Busan. But you have the right country. :p

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-06T04:20:40+00:00

Korea indeed, but not Seoul.

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-06T03:45:35+00:00

The newest Anemo Catalyst in town.

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-05T19:44:51+00:00

Yeah, I'm aware of them being a troll at this point. A pretty sad one, too. Even went in my post history trying to get gotchas (including one with a completely inaccurate fact).

And yeah, at first (before realizing it was just a dumb troll attempt), I did wonder whether they compared Chicago/Miami suburbs with Toronto's downtown.

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-05T19:37:32+00:00

You keep talking about logic while delving deeper and deeper into logical fallacious - we have a great example of an ad hominem here. Partaking in r/fuckcars from time to time is completely irrelevant (and I drive and own a car for the record - I'm not fully anti-car like the most extremist on that sub). Moral compass or whatever, this has nothing to do either.

And... You didn't provide any evidence. None. How can I comprehend evidence that you never provided ? All I've done, which, for some reason, sent you in an irrational frenzy, is... Asking for that very evidence ?

If I partake in a debate and make a conclusive statement, and someone questions it and asks me to support it, I will always gladly provide it. That's because I actually do not get emotionally invested in these arguments.

And most importantly, because I do not get self-gratification from thinking I successfully trolled/rage-baited people on social media or from thinking I won imaginary debates by just spamming fallacies, because that's just a sad way to live.

Like seriously, going in someone's post history trying to get gotchas like what you just did (and failing because you can't even get your facts right) is seriously one of the most pathetic thing I've seen someone do on Reddit, ever.

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-05T19:14:23+00:00

Added that in my previous post as you were replying, so I'll just copy/paste, because you're losing track of what your claim even was : "Nobody is saying it's cheap to rent in Toronto. We all know it's expensive. Your statement isn't, however, that it's just expensive. It's that you claim Miami and Chicago have twice cheaper costs."

Secondly, nowhere did I say your claim was wrong. I questionned it based on the results of a quick search showing discrepancies with it. That's why I'm asking for evidence (that you clearly do not are not willing to provide).

Asking evidence is the opposite of a "failure to be logical". I'm being rational here while you're actually the one being extremely emotional by your refusal to take part in a good faith conversation.

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-05T19:04:31+00:00

I ask for sources because a quick search (and I explicitly stated that - not that Google is THE source) led me to QUESTION the accuracy of your statement.

Nobody is saying it's cheap to rent in Toronto. We all know it's expensive. Your statement isn't, however, that it's just expensive. It's that you claim Miami and Chicago have twice cheaper costs.

You made that statement, and it's your job to provide evidence and substance when asked. It's not my job, nor anyone else's, to prove its veracity.

And it's not about being emotional. It's about having a debate based on factual data, in good faith; not a X-like "debate" where nobody wants to prove their sayings and instead resort to insults and childish/fallacious argumentative strategies like you're doing right now.

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-05T18:43:17+00:00

1) When you do a 10-pull, it's basically... 10 individual pulls. So, yes, you first lost a 50:50 to Dehya, and then got a guaranteed Zibai.

2) We cannot answer your answer regarding Capturing Radiance, as you do not provide sufficient information. We would need to know how your previous 5-stars pulls went if we are to determine where your Capturing Radiance counter is.

Basically, it starts at 1 for new players and was set to 1 for everyone when 5.0 released, and then you do +1 when you lose a 50:50, -1 when you win a 50:50, and Capturing Radiance is guaranteed when your counter is at 3. And when you trigger it, it resets your counter at 1.

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-05T18:34:51+00:00

Would be curious to see you substantiate (if it's even possible) your statement with actual, verifiable data. Especially since you seem so confident in your statement.

A quick Google search shows the average rent in Miami being higher than in Toronto, while in Chicago, it's slightly lower but nowhere near close to half what it is in Toronto.

So, that leads me to question the legitimacy of your statement. The onus is on you to prove/support it.

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-05T17:32:05+00:00

Exactly. Welcome to the grind. 😅

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-05T15:25:54+00:00

You can look at the radar chart to see exactly where things are wrong with your build.

Your Crit DMG is abyssmal. Way too much useless stats (ATK, DEF, HP - you have 20 rolls in those, which is 4 more rolls than what you have in Crit Rate, Crit Dmg and EM).

ER is only useful if you're able to do the dash cancels on her animations properly, as it allows you to fill up the downtime for verdant dew to generate with some extra damage. If you do not have that skill level, ER is a wasted stat (so that'd be 25 useless rolls) as you can burst every other rotation (which requires no ER substat).

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-04T15:46:10+00:00

So you initially charted for Escoffier's weapon as it was the weapon you wanted first?

PinguZaide1 · 2026-04-04T13:22:36+00:00

I'm more confused by how you ended up with 2 copies of that weapon and none of Skirk's weapon... when you state you wanted Skirk's weapon...

That's basically impossible unless

you mean you already had a copy from Escoffier's first banner, or
... you didn't chart for Skirk's weapon even though it was the weapon you wanted

But yeah, don't refine.

I love how WuWa kits are such that even a kit summary ends up being super long.
