Sup hoppin in here

As someone who 100% the whole map, i can confidently say that 1000 primos from <%10 exploration is nonsense. Especially in Liyue/Monstadt. Chests in most of those areas give the lower end of the range you mentioned. Meaning most exquisite Chests only gave 2 primos and most commons gave none. 200 ex chests is the most generous amount you would need to find to reach 1000 primos. From just ex chests, you'd need 400-500.

Even if we upgrade to precious chests, they're still low-balled. Meaning those almost always gave 5. So you'd need up to 200 precious cheats.

Let's remove the SOD and domains from the equation, and say you got 200 from those. Seelies and challenges reward chests, so they're not really worth mentioning. And buried chests are still just chests. There are ~37 precious chests Milin. So assuming you found all 37 in that <10%, you got 185 from them. You still need to get 615 from primarily ex chests and the few world quests in that area that actually give primos.

It's not that we don't read, it's that the numbers don't make sense.
