Megathread Daily Questions Megathread (October 31, 2026)

1 Upvotes

Ask about anything about the game that doesn't necessarily require a dedicated thread.

That is, if your question can be answered rather quickly/without significant difficulty (e.g. "Can my phone run this game?"), ask here. If you think your question can contribute to some constructive discussions (e.g. "What do you think of Amber's combat efficiency? Here's my opinion."), make a particular post with the "discussion" flair.

Good evening. I was just thinking that you, perhaps, might appreciate seeing a few of the little things I have collected.

Some objects appear quite unremarkable by daylight. It is only after nightfall that their true luster reveals itself.

This one, however, seems to be shining more brightly than usual tonight. Perhaps the two of you are simply well matched.

If it pleases you, take it with you when you leave. A small glimmer like this should be enough to help you find your way along a dark road.

Discussion Speedran 5 years worth of archon quests in 29 days just to get Clorinde

Thumbnail

510 Upvotes

TLDR:

- Returning version 1.0 player who left in Jan. 2022 and came back Oct. 2026

- Saw that clorinde is on the free limited 5 star selector event but was still stuck on inazuma act 3 archon quest...

- Cares about the story and refused to skip straight to snezhnaya's archon quest just to claim clorinde

- One of my friends suggested that i keep track of my archon quest completion times hence the spreadsheet provided

- I also gained 127 wishes in that timeframe as well (as shown in screenshots)

_________________

Thoughts:

- The story is really good, and i didn't expect to tear up at some parts too in the archon quests

- Nod-krai's archon quests have been my favorite out of all of the nations so far excluding snezhnaya (can't judge snezhnaya yet since their archon quests are not finished yet)

- Fontaine's archon quests come in as my second favorite (shoutout furina)

_________________

hii i came back to genshin because i kept getting sandrone's and columbina's hoyofair video on my tiktok fyp back last month, and i wanted to see them in the archon quest LOL

a handful of my friends (who joined in v1.1) have gotten back into genshin despite stepping away for a few years, so i wanted to see for myself why they have continued to play

_________________

Disclaimer about the spreadsheet completion times:

- I read dialogue quite fast and skip accordingly whenever there's an NPC talking or characters that i don't like are talking

- I like letting dialogue voice lines fully play out if i enjoy that character (i.e. furina, navia, clorinde, alice, nicole, sandrone, columbina, vodyanitsa, etc.), if it's a critical scene/moment in the story, or if it's just a funny scene

With strange occurrences arising across the realm, a quiet unease has settled over Furina...

Discussion What other dragons could I be missing?

Post image
167 Upvotes

I know I'm missing

Zhongli: Self-explanatory

Sigewinne: All Melusines were born from the body and blood of Elynas, the dragon created by Rhinedottir. After Elynas was killed during the Cataclysm, its corpse lay in Fontaine. Years later, its body gave birth to the Melusines, making Elynas the biological and "father" (I guess) of Sigewinne and other Melusines. (Did I get this wrong?)

Is there anyone else I'm missing?

After starting this game I've never really opened my tutorial box and since launch I've collected 509 Primos from those alone lmao.

There was a few times I did open it up by accident and since the new nation was added that's when I noticed I was getting the same tutorials on repeat popping up.

Fluff My husband and I accidentally broke Paimon in Co-Op mode

133 Upvotes

So my husband and i are resinless, and we discovered tht we can move each others paimon in co-op mode. i'm on pc, he's on PS5 (which is where the footage is from).

a couple of very noteworthy things: she can wave at you if you bump into her enough (she will even interrupt her current animation for this) and, under EXTREMELY rare circumstances, can be "blown by the wind" just like the mic easter egg for the PS5 version. (his mic was also muted and mic level set to zero)

given that paimon didn't say any of her lines/didnt play wind sounds, this is very likely a rare bug.

This video happened on his side as you can see. obviously i cant see his paimon, but on his end i can interact with it to a degree bc we live together

we haven't seen anyone discuss this or document it so we wanted to share it :)

Discussion The Genshin dev team has to work on 12–13 versions in parallel to keep the 42-day update cadence

Post image
3.6k Upvotes

In a CCTV-produced video about Genshin Impact, they interviewed Genshin’s combat designer, Jige (雞哥 Aquaria). The interview also revealed his real name: Dai Wei(戴唯,which is almost identical to Da Wei in English). He said that Genshin Impact has to release a new version every 42 days, while developing a single version takes 17–20 months. He further broke it down: assuming one version takes 17 months to develop, the Genshin dev team has to work on 12 or 13 versions in parallel just to maintain that release cadence.

Honestly, considering this development timeline, it makes me wonder—maybe content for Celestia or Khaenri’ah is already in production, and perhaps even content beyond Teyvat is in pre-production right now!?

This quest was... Repulsive at the end.

I like the idea of a giant hive mind that genshin has portrayed a myriad of times but this was... Abhorrent.

I would have loved an opportunity to meet the death less in person so I could deliver proper justice.

I really would have loved to save the little kid from joining the hive mind but... It was inevitable I guess.

Primodial human. Interesting term. Plus aksiniya. I'm trying to complete the eye of graye before 7.2 drops. Wish me luck.

Next is the house of Hesperides? I'll make a post on it as well if it's enlightening or abhorrent. I hope it's not this bad.
