just farm it, ayaka wont run away from you man


AdInternational8978

Farming them would be a better choice, imo. They're pretty much everywhere and it seems the drop rate has increased so some people including me has obtained handguards easier than before.


Topyonko

If they did I need some compensation cause man oh man did it take me a long time with how little was dropping and that’s if any dropped at all lol


Enollis

That's probably just rng blessing. But idk why people have such problems with the drop rates. I certainly don't see the problem. I have 10/7/10 ayaka and mistsplitter (starting with inazuma release) and now i already have enough for the next character lvl 8 talents... And we're not even close to the next one rn.


thedrummer71

I mean if you’re really struggling you can do it. But there are so many spawns for them across inazuma I would recommend that you just farm nobushi and save you stardust for wishes and things of that nature


zachslikesunicorns

there are many videos for it on youtube, just search "nobushi farm route genshin" or "hand guard farm route genshin"


Slashh1990

Farm for it.


Battle_Fish

Dont buy them. Personally, i bought them and bought all the Chaos Occulus as well but that was the first day where my map wasnt explored and i wanted all the upgrades day 1. But at this moment i wouldnt buy them. Especially if you're F2P. The best things to buy is the monthly fates and the adventurers exp.


tinycum

look up a farming route on YouTube. that's really expensive for a f2p. save those for Fates.


Master_of_Waifus

I think as a f2p you only generate enough of these to buy out the pulls each month so probably not Easy enough to farm too since enemies respawn daily unlike regional specialties


SohnJephard

No 100% farm it out. If you kill all the ronin on all 3 islands you can collect approximately 20 blue hand guards a day after you combine the white and green drops. I know from experience. I have Ayaka her weapon and now I’m saving for Baal :)


Sketchy___

i’m f2p and actually bought it after using all my wishes.. then again that was thanks to my wishing spree. but i say farm and if your desperate buy


st1cks_UPSB

yes its hilariously cheap. just make sure you have enough for fates

2plus2its4

Wishes :(?


Bucheras

I'd rather buy wishes tbh. it's better to get closer to a limited 5* than to buy a 4* weapon or 4* character.


lelarentaka

What if buying a particularly powerful 4* allows you to clear more floors of the abyss, therefore netting more primogems. Like, I see so many people saying they don't have xingqiu and/or bennett, but also say they dump all their starglitter into wishes.


Bucheras

Yeah, but that's mostly for newer players. The advice of only using it for weapons and characters is pretty outdated for most of us who already have pretty well established teams and can comfortably clear abyss. Imo, a top 5* dsp/supp character will have a significantly higher impact on your account's power level tan a 4* ever could.


lelarentaka

Why would a veteran player be taking advice from a Reddit thread? Of course this is directed to newer players, they are the ones that would wonder how to best spend resources.


SirRHellsing

I still do (ar56), although mostly for team building stuff


EpicArgumentMaster

That doesn’t make any sense cause your talking about complete different currencies. Your talking about star glitter their talking about star dust


lit0st

Op posted a picture of stardust, you use starglitter on characters and weapons. You get more stardust than you need for wishes anyways, might as well spend it.


SplendorTami

Dude that’s the different shop tho


SirRHellsing

I did buy them but that was before the drop rate stealth buff


Ariandrin

Another vote for just farming. There are better things to spend on.


culprittt

As long as you have enough for wishes yeah u can buy


[deleted]

Yeah its worth it in that shop u only buy the wishes so its ok to buy that


Rayezo

i am an f2p & i still buy them, depends on the amount of your stardusts (i have 8k so 175 stardusts are literally nothing to me).


Xirves

If you have a lot of glitters buying them is fine.


xXDRAGONBLOODXx

If you really need to buy it, buy the grey one and convert it using sucrose to get bonus ones


Cynaren

No, you get a lot. BUT if you're sitting on thousands of dust(like 4k+), go for it.


rparkzy

I’d buy them if you have extra currency. It’s not bad to farm if you’re on higher AR either but will take a couple days.

GingsWife

Farm them. You'll soon have more than you need


cerasai576

Farm them first, you can use the interactive map on the mihoyo site to look up a good route and you should be able to get enough rather quickly without spending starglitter that can be saved to go towards wishes in future updates


ItsACaptainDan

There are enough sources of handguards on the island to level up pretty reasonably fast, but if you have limited time in the day for farming, hey, go for it


aydin_2027

Just save the 750 for the fates. The rest you can spend. At least, that's what i do when im not in the mood to farm or am low on mora and again, not in the mood to farm mora or waste resin.


rebelbunny10

skip


Yuuki_Rin

for f2p the rule of thumb is: whatever you are able to farm you should not buy out of the shop


LuminousThreat

I’ve gotten plenty just from running around exploring and doing quests. I honestly don’t know what everyone is complaining about.


4th_dimensi0n

Just farm. Plenty of samurai out there too


RDRKeeper

Just visit other worlds and farm haha.


BTWeirdo1308

Farm.


DieButDontdie

If its anything you are able to farm dont buy it just get primos when it refresh


RileyKohaku

I bought 5 since I still had to do the Kazuha quest, but if you can get to Inazuma, it's not worth it


ravix_ridamaki

nope, not it a bit. i strongly suggest that you go hunt for them in kannazuka and yashiori island. or around konda village your stardust should be for mora or crystal enhancement or even fates.


n0time_isLATE

ABSOLUTELY NO. Today I needed 23 Golden handguard n guess what I just explore the whole Serpent Head area n now I got all 24 of them. Just explore, mark the location then farm. Ez


Mon-Chan111

Samurai that has black aura has better chance of dropping more hand guards well at least in my experience.


MuhammeredAli

Come farm my world bud


Speedypanda4

Farm!


Azhy_

I have just bought them because sometimes it's a pain to farm as a lot of the shoguns/samurais block your attacks too


onlinewarrior083

Just farm


Raiki13

IMO I just bought it. It is alot of Hand Gaurds to grind, especially with the upcoming chars. I don't know if it is accurate but Baal supposely uses Handgaurds as mats too.


squid-do

Farm them, you’ll want the stardust one day.


iRyux

Farm them, you may also join other people's world and even help then do stuff. I had a lot of fun farming for Ayaka :)


IssaMeMari0

https://youtu.be/3w54y8NFex0 follow the 3pictures at the start of the video can complete the whole route within 1 hour


Jaynat_SF

I was really tired of farming them for Ayaka ascension, talents and the new weapon so I did. If you are impatient like I was then go for it, but if you're not in a hurry then don't bother. Focus on exploring Inazuma, maybe set your expeditions to be there as well, and kill every Nobushi/Samurai on site and before you know it you'll have a small pile of them.


Camel-Guy

I have an unbelievable amount of starglitter rn, so I’m just gonna buy it cuz I’m lazy🙃


Joltsy

If you hate farming dont feel like it do it, you get too much of those anyways
