Apparently Elemental Reaction Tutorials were added recently on the game, located in the Temple of the Lion. These tutorial uses already equiped level 20 characters and have defined objectives that definitely can be speedran.
Alright this is a lot but hear me out on this one. The most popular ones on YT that i saw was the event cryo regisvine. So i think there should be something like that againts the elite bosses. one is too short so maybe do like a regisvine% or Hypostasis% where you beat the bosses in any order as fast as possible. There is gacha but ill explain everything. Of course no food because i dont want people to waste resorces on things like this. I think this should only be allowed for ar 45 or higher with the bosses for their lvl so no ar 50 with lvl 80 bosses because they havent done their mission. There are all the catagories i came up with.
These all all the main categories =Hypostasis% Beat all 3 hypostasis =Regisvine% Beat Both Regisvine =Elite% Beat all elite bosses (maybe without oceanid?) =Dvalin% or Stromterror% Beat Stormterror (Must be ar 50 and the last challenge) =Childe% Beat Childe (Must be ar 50 and the last challenge) No wolf because you can only fight him one a week the other are just getting the rewards once a week.
And there are the sub categories -F2P : only F2P character without event only characters and weapons. All C0 except MC(Until C6) and Barbara (Until C1 because it doesn't do much) -F2P Unlimited : All F2P characters and weapons including events. All C0 except MC(Until C6) and Barbara (Until C1 because it doesn't do much) -Gacha : You Get to use 10 4 stars and 1 5 stars that aren't F2P for example you can use a C6 bennet, C0 sucrose and 2 Refinement 0 non F2P 4 star weapons. All 3 star weapons are fine. -Lucky Gacha : You can use as many 4 stars as you want and you get 2 5 stars. For Example you can use C1 Diluc or C0 Diluc with gravestone Or C0 Diluc And C0 Childe. -WHALE : Everything is ok -BARBARA : Only Barbara any constelation any 4 star weapon. No 5 star weapon
This Is The Second Sub Category pile -No artifacts : Self Explanitory -1 Star : only 1 star weapons and no artifacts -No Full : 4-5 Star artifacts are allowed but only until lvl 8
You can change the numbers and add things but you get the idea The only problem is the 4 star craftable weapons but i dont know how to adress this i mean you can just ignore it. And make sure you make them show their artifacts, weapons, constelations, and tallent for any crown shenanigens in the F2P category
Commissions Speedrun I had this idea today and thought it would be accessible to a lot of players. Everyone has Kaeya, for his mobility and reduced stamina loss, and Amber, for her flight stamina. However, the locations of the commissions from waypoints will determine the speed, on top of having one shot a day to do the run.
Location: -You teleport to the waypoint inside of Mondstadt, this is your starting point -Once timing starts, you teleport to wherever you need to go
Timing -Timing starts when you move/teleport -Timing ends when you receive your daily commission reward
Questions -Should runners be allowed to observe the map for commission locations before starting? -Should bursts be allowed? I thought the setup time might be a bit much? -Will differences in levels affect the run? -Should there be a character restriction? -Should the runner have access to Liyue as a requirement for the run?
Hey Galactiknight,
Wouldn't this then just end up being super random and the WR times will only be possible on the days that you get super fast/easy commissions? It seems like a good idea but it might end up something like having 1 WR attempt every 6 months+ or something crazy like that? Unless I am misunderstanding something but please let me know if I am.
As for the questions;
- It would be too hard to check/regulate if someone has already observed the map prior to recording, etc.
- Bursts depends if it's f2p characters only or not as some bursts could be too effective and locked behind luck/pay wall.
- Differences in level will most likely affect run if there is combat involved in your commissions, etc.
- Most likely will have to be done on a single character or f2p characters only but as above, level and items could play a big part in faster times.
- I think having Liyue Harbor as a requirement is fine since it will mean everyone is on the same page for having all the available commissions, but as with my original thoughts on the category, it will make the run extremely RNG based, unless we limit it to certain commissions and only doing that one or something similar.
I just knew that Liyue is not locked behind AR nor story, so I think a Liyue Map speedrun would be interesting esp. in low AR.
[Liyue Map Speedrun] Goal: Activate all Teleport Waypoints and Statue of Sevens in Liyue.
Requirements:
- Maximum AR TBD.
- The only offering to the Seven that can be done is the 1st one (after getting one from Lisa) in order to limit stamina. No further offering can be made.
- The only allowed characters are Traveler Anemo, Amber, Lisa, Kaeya, or Noelle.
- Players are free to choose to engage in optional combat or not to.
- All domains, Teleport Waypoints, are Statue of the Seven residing in Liyue must not be activated yet.
- No food buffs.
Start Point: After the game loads after teleporting to the Dawn Winery bay Teleport Waypoint.
Been mulling over a Daily Commissions Speedrun. Noticed Galactiknight's post and found our rules to be somewhat similar.
I've run this several times on my stream to get a better handle of the rules and stomp out any particular cheese. This is what I've been doing so far.
RULES:
PLANNING PHASE: -Players can plan their route, apply food buffs and organize their team/s.
TIMER: -Timer begins once the first loading screen after teleporting to the first quest ends. -Timer is paused during load times IF you are between quests. Opting to teleport while in the middle of a quest is considered part of the quest and will require the timer to continue running. -Timer ends once the fourth (final) Green "Commission Complete" appears at the top of your screen. -If you elect to finish a quest and run to the next (no teleport) then the timer does NOT stop. This is considered travel time to quest. (Similar to teleporter to quest travel) -If you need to change your team, then the timer will continue to run during this process.
OTHER RULES: -Runs must begin from the Paimon Menu, this is a check that World Level is maxed for the current Adventure Rank. -From the Paimon Menu, teleport to your first location through the 'Map' option. -No custom teleporters are allowed. -There are no banned characters/weapon/artifacts.
Answers to Galactiknight's concerns/questions in regard to how they are treated within my own rule set. -(Looking at map) Yes, this is part of the planning phase.
-(Bursts) I normally do Dailies as the first thing so whether my characters have burst depends on their condition when I last played. The teams that I run generally have good Burst recharge so i'll get multiple within the 4 daily commissions. I do not see a problem with it as I've found travel time to be a big factor in achieving a good time.
-(Level) Yes. This is why we start at the Paimon menu as a way to ensure that World Level is maxed for the current Adventure Rank. (Each 'World Level' would require it's own category; alternatively only the current highest World Level would be legal '8')
-(Banned Characters/Items) No, it's a free for all. Could possibly have F2P and Whale as their own sub category. (I am F2P, outside of a few banner characters I'm only missing 2 from my roster.)
-(Liyue Base) I would say the opposite city of the daily commisions. [Eg. Mondstadt Dailies - Start in Liyue; Liyue Dailies - Start in Mondstadt] - As an example, today I had Mondstadt dailies but visited a Liyue Statue of Seven before run to heal up. I then teleported to Liyue to prepare for the run.
I explain the rules on my recent Youtube Daily Commissions Speedrun video and go over some of the different aspects relating to the timer and traveling between quests.
As of the version 2.0 update, now that the required adventure rank for the Liyue chapters has been lowered to be less maddening (topping out at AR 28 for Chapter 1 Act IV) any thoughts on whether a Chapter 1 any % category would be practical now?
The amount of xp required went down by roughly 45%. You can expect Chapter 1 runs to be twice as fast, for a total length between 11 to 14 hours. Is it practical ? I don't know, but at least it's possible in a single day
Max% pre-Element(At the beging you can ditch paimon theres a smaller barrier so it not ass big as the whole map if you want more information look at Noblies youtube challeln and look at his playlists click on his npc travler) (Max% means not including ar's and arifacts and weapons only chests, anemooclise, travler level 20, and others
Hi, I was wondering what you guys think about adding a Boss rush category? That means all 15 bosses following the order of the handbook, and sub categories with specific requirements such as CO-OP Boss Rush, which doesn't include Stormterror, single character pick (no switching), no food buffs/heals, etc. The timer starts when Electro hypostasis goes aggro, and ends when the last boss (Azdaha) is defeated. For COOP Boss rush, you cannot initiate another boss fight until the current boss fight is defeated, but one player may start the next boss fight even if your team hasn't arrived yet, as long as its the current boss you need to defeat. Movement in between boss fights will also be counted, so specific character picks may influence your overall speedrun time. If you need more explanation my buddy had recorded one of our runs and I'd be happy to share it.
I feel like this will just be a battle between whales and f2p players making it p2w. There is also the world level being different for everyone and being able to decrease your own world level by one for a week. I think there are too many restrictions that would need to be in place to make it fun or worth while.
Just my thoughts but we can definitely build off of this.
Domain speedruns, like viridescent or crimson witch, or maybe just all the domains. Also Spiral Abyss 1-8 speedrun.
Ah that's fine. JUST run from mondstadt to Liyue adventurers'Guide. *WITHOUT ANY FOOD EATEN and then I think MANY genshin impact players will try to find the most fast way. ALSO 1ST CONGRATULATION! by A player which had been playing GENSHIN IMPACT since 9/30/2020.
i came up with two ideas a little bit useless :
- a category Boar% in which the goal is to unlock as fast as possible the success "Boared to death" (with a new account of course)
- a category Cold% in which the goal is to unlock as fast as possible the success "The Bleak Midwinter" (also with a new account)
I would still like to add the daily commission speedrun. Depending on the timer rules (starting from opening the map or after the first teleport), it would look like this:
Though, I would add, that you need to collect the reward from Katherine, as this can open some creativity.
That sounds so full of rng that it’s just unfair imo. Also being only able to do 1 attempt every day is just yikes.
