I would estimate that it will take about 80 pulls to get a 5-star (although in practice it's usually more around 76/77 for me, and a few times I've been lucky). So if you just previously got an off-banner 5-star and haven't rolled at all since, you'll probably need most of that reserve just to hit pity (again, unless you're lucky). If you happen to be lucky and use up your guarantee on a different banner, you won't have enough reserve left if you lose the next 50/50, assuming you stay pure F2P (no Welkins/BP). Unless, of course, you'd be okay with a scenario where you get Venti and wait on Furina 'till the rerun, but it sounds like your goal is more to get Furina, so in that case I'd just hold off for now and not risk it.

hmm, on lucky pulls. Pretty much my luckiest 5 star pull is Nilou. Got her with just one 10-pull, no pity build up, just a raw 10-pull after losing a 50/50. I guess she really wanted to go home to my account (^^). Btw, this luck happened to me only once in the span of more than 2 years playing the game.

Thank you so much for all the advice guys, after considering all you have told me and looking at my record of pulls (got Jean 5 pulls ago and that gave me the guarantee) I decided to wait to get Venti next rerun and give all my resources to Furina. I love her personality and design, if 10% of the rumors I've read are true then she's going to be a force to be reckoned with, a great healer and great damage dealer is a winner in my books.
I play everyday, and complete all events and quests, free to play, with only the Blessing of the Welking Moon for a little boost but still, there's no way the number of primogens will guarantee Furina in the time left tp version 4.2. |

Do you think her signature weapon would be worth it? I mean, if I'm lucky I could get Furina in my firsts pulls and save the rest to get Navia that should release in the next version. |

It is too early to tell if it is worth or not because we had cases where characters had last minute changes compared to what was in the beta. As such, it is a bit pointless to talk about the usefulness of the character or their weapon before their spec are actually revealed.
Also, remember that no matter how lucky you can be with a character banner, weapon banner is a different beast due to the 32.5% chance to get what you want. So you have to accept the risk of losing 2 pity (thus preparing something like 180 rolls for a weapon), otherwise you will waste the points you get from the path system.

It sounds like you're a newer player, so you wouldn't have Festering Desire, but even so the fishing reward sword or Favonius Sword should suffice for her. The increase her signature gives isn't enough to justify the cost to roll for it. If you decide later on down the line that the f2p options aren't working for you, then you can roll for it on her rerun. Her rerun should also have a better secondary weapon, because Baizhu's green donut is one of the worst weapons something can share a banner with. |

actually, feels like I had more luck on Weapon banner than Character banner. The past character banner pulls I did have been 7 losses on the 50/50, distributed among three servers, made me hate Tighnari so much (lol). The only way I got characters the past several months have been all through guarantee.
in weapon banner, whenever a 5 star weapon appeared, it's what I wanted. Although to be fair, did only a few attempts in weapon banner. And those times I pulled, and did not get any 5 star can be counted as "losses". USA server. 20 pulls in Ayaka banner for Mistsplitter. Got only 4 star weapons. (building up pity) 40 pulls in Yoimiya banner for Thundering Pulse. Got only 4 star weapons. (building up pity) 20 pulls in Childe banner for Polar Star. Got Polar Star = so happy. It works well with my explorer Faruzan. Will pass it later on to Ganyu for use in Spiral Abyss, when Faruzan reach Friendship 10. (pity reset) 10 pulls in Hu Tao banner for Homa = got only a 4 star. (building up pity again) Europe server 28 pulls in Nahida banner = got A Thousand Floating Dreams. Surprised a 5 star appeared so early. It has a lot of Elemental mastery which works well with Nahida. (pity reset) Asia server 10 pulls in Hu Tao banner = got only 4 star weapon.

I think there are enough data around, parsed result with websites such as paimon.moe and the in-game details to confirm the rates. Beyond that, personal experience is trivial given the nature of small sample, even if we consider whales/leviathan spenders. So let's leave it at that.
And to be quite honest, I don't think posting about pulls is anything interesting as it doesn't contribute to any kind of discussion past one's luck or bad luck, unless it involves inquiries such as haseo's.

At equal refinement level, Mitternachts Waltz is overall superior to rust (Rust is slightly better just for her normal attacks, but MW bonus compensate that with better damage with OZ). That said, MW is arguably much harder to have it at higher refinement compared to rust, and it is subpar on other archers assuming you upgrade Fischl with something else like Thundering Pulse or Polar Star.

I think I (maybe) getting pretty close to putting together all the pieces of the puzzle for how the story will play out, and this teaser is definitely laying out a few more hints. Looking forward to seeing how the story plays out in a few days. All in all, I think their overall plan to structure this whole questline like a mystery novel is pretty well done on the whole, at least so far -- we'll see if they strike the landing.

hmm, cannot comment on that yet. Have not started any archon quest in Fontaine. Have finished Sumeru, but cannot start Fontaine because I need to catch up with a lot of time limited events in Star Rail. Can only do dailies and consume resin in Genshin for now.
__________ on another thing. Have finally got my Dehya to 90. Yeah, I know she's nerfed and the damage isn't much. But she's plenty fun to play. I pilot her in farming Blue and Gold leylines in Fontaine -- in preparation for levelling up Furina and Charlotte. Dehya mows down meks (except for the big one), churls, and treasure hoarders. It's also fun fighting the water elementals, but they have so much hp, it takes all the punches from Dehya's burst to kill one. I let Raiden handle the shellfish, since they are sort of fire resistant. edit: question to other Dehya users. Which did you decide to have more of? HP or ATK? Mine currently has 31k hp and 1,975 atk.
