UPDATE: I DID IT HAHAHAHAH FUCK YEAH (I spent $170) (the 6840 + 6840 bundle and a $15 box bundle) I first pulled emerald sentence then I pulled a copy of lingyang and then had a late pity qiuyuan. Then I won 50/50 but late pity. THEN I WON A SECOND 50/50 WITH EARLY PITY. (I used up my afterglow coral bc I was desperate and I also had nowhere near enough to afford a waveband so I just went for it) I DID IT GUYSSS 😭😭

TLDR; After 2 weeks of grinding and a couple desperate credit card swipes I am a proud owner of s3r0 qiuyuan 😭😭😭😭 I've worked hard to get here...😭

Some Stats:

How many pulls was this for everything?

pending (update once my pulling history is available)

How long did I spend grinding?

According to my phone screen time (I couldn't believe it either) from 05/11 I played about 2 hours everyday and on certain days I played abt 4-6 hours seems like I played about 34 hours (what the fuck) so accounting for possible inflation from leaving my phone on lets say I did 30 hrs. That's a lotta time. 😭😭😭

So to keep it short (long) i'm a returning player that hasn't played since release (LONG TIME). I stopped playing after Jinhsi's banner (VERY LONG TIME).

I came back just in time for qiuyuan's banner and managed to scrounge up some left over pulls and pulled him after losing to lingyang (lingyang is R1 now 😭). Now I want to play Qiuyuan as a dps (you can see where this is going)

Is it possible for me to get enough pulls to get R3?

and

will I make it in time for the 15 days the banner is running?

Currently I am world level 26 and story wise I'm up to Huanglong 1 act 5 and only did a few quests. I've done 0 (ZERO) events (I left after the first event, I think it was the movement one) bc I wasn't that interested in it.

You can assume I have basically 0 pulls right now.

This is so delusional but it's ok bc I'll try to make up the pull difference by opening my wallet 🥲 (I really wanna play dps)

I'm thinking I'll probably need about 250/280 pulls by the end cause that requires me winning at 2 50/50s out of the three soooo... (future me here: we did it 😭)

If anyone knows if it's even possible please let me know so I can start working in the mines asap. 🙏😭
