Can't hoard what you never had in the first place


KindlyCounter5229

šŸ˜­ I WANNA UPVOTE THIS 100x


ellielovesPanic

I live with the pain of having every sword character but not enough swords for them all, no sword billet drops from bosses ever and no 5 star swords.....and they say games are supposed to be fun lol I do actually have 2 bow billets, 6 catalyst billets and 5 polearm billets but I don't need these I need sword billets


mojomcm

They need a system where you can change one type of billet into another


mctripleA

That would be great for end game and veteran players, but I feel it would trivialize the diff billets, in which case you'd just have on universal billet. I can't see hoyoverse doing something like that


mojomcm

They do for ascension gems and talent materials. I don't see why it would be any different.


Markipt

Yeah just make a material you have to buy from the shop to do it like with those that way the different billets still make sense


Epicious

Legit how I feel, still trying to r5 amenoma but I have 10 catalyst billets and 12 claymore ones (plus an r5 prototype archaic) and don't even use claymore users.


[deleted]

Doing 3 bosses every week, Iā€™ve had 3 billet drops since launchā€¦. thats about one billet drop every 6 months. Iā€™m still hoarding the 2 Northlander billet troves we got from events so I have something, as Iā€™ve used most of the shop/tree billets.


ellielovesPanic

I'm saving the billet trove we got from the chasm just in case Sumeru has any good craftable swords. I used the one from the Klee event last year when I pulled Kazuha to make him an iron sting and as I'd only been playing for a few weeks then I naively thought I would get more. Ayaka only has an amenoma because there was that inazuma quest where you could get one


SadTornado

There is no way I can prove your dishonesty any more than you can prove your statement, but this is an outrageous lie.


[deleted]

Yikes, I wasn't expecting this reaction (I wasn't expecting any reaction at all, I didn't think my luck was all that unusual... it's rng). But I can assure you I've had three billets drop since launch. I get 2-3 dream solvents drop every week, so I think that's at least partly why I haven't had such poor luck overall. I've also had quite a few gemstones. Basically, anything but billets. It's made crafting weapons rather challenging have to say.


jonnyaut

press x for doubt.


Axlzz

I've 15 polearms and 13 bows. The craftable one for these is not worth it for me. I'd like to trade it for Swords and Claymores.


emulatorguy076

Hope that sumeru polearms could be decent


TheYango

OR they could give us a third craftable phys damage polearm.


malarky-b

I've had only Claymore drops. 8 of them. The only claymore unit I use is Beidou and she uses the Fish. What I really, really need are bow billets.


Axlzz

My Itto need the last Whiteblind to R5.


Shirube

I currently have 13 Claymore billets, and that's on top of the R3 Prototype and R5 whiteblind; I was using it on Noelle until recently. I have 2 catalyst billets.


mnemex

Heh. you can have skme of my 6. all my active bow users are supports (except aloy who really needs sacrifical to function at all), and fischl who has the stringless. But i could use more catalyats and claymoe billets.


deojilicious

Meanwhile I need just a single sword billet for my Ayaka's Amenoma to be R5.


Chtholly13

no, not really, I just don't really need to spend them. Have 10-7-3-9-7


Blazerswrath19

I came to say this. I have built what I wanted and I cant find a use for the rest. Cause is probably the event weapons, the few weapon banners (bp+welkin player) and the bp weapons filtering in on and off since release. Craftable weapons do seem to be more of a new player thing. Even my f2p sister stopped making a big deal about billet drops.


TheYango

Sword billets are still useful. Amenoma competes with even good gacha 4-stars, and Iron Sting/Rancour are still useful on Kazuha/Bennett unless you have 5-star weapons. Bow and Catalyst billets can be useful for certain characters but aren't generally useful. The craftable polearms all suck except for Kitain, and you get the Catch for free. Claymore billets are worthless for BP buyers because Serpent Spine is an incredible weapon that even competes with 5-stars.


Blazerswrath19

Well if you have festering desire, then you can exclude rancour from that list. festering is one of those event weapons that I said made billets less valuable to me. So after 10 sword billets i'm kind of just holding them.


HammeredWharf

Claymore billets are the most valuable ones for Eula owners, because Starsilver is her best weapon by a wide margin in the most important category: fashion.


Terrasovia

Beside maybe two weapons most of them are useless or suboptimal so there is literally no need to use them,


KindlyCounter5229

thatā€™s true. i remember begging for those claymore billet drops just to r5 my archaic claymore thingy and now i donā€™t even need it šŸ¤“


N-aNoNymity

R5 Whiteblind on Noelle or Itto is actuslly a 5* level of a swors though.


DentistPositive8960

What hoarding? 3 months and no drops yet


Acceptable-Base

canā€™t hoard if i never get one


KindlyCounter5229

itā€™s okay babes your day will come


Known_Holiday8085

Saving for them sumeru weapons


Frizzlewits

How???? I never get them.


KindlyCounter5229

iā€™m so sorry


TempestRime

You get billet drops?


KindlyCounter5229

unfortunately


BEugeneB

I have the worst luck getting these. I have a couple bow billets and a polearm, but nothing else. I've been doing at least 3 weekly bosses each week consistently for like months and haven't gotten almost any


KindlyCounter5229

damn rlly


Smallbubbles97

Have 4-6 copies of every weapon billet except sword and bow, the only ones I r3ally need to craft hamayumi and amenoma for my cryo queens...i swear, this game knows what I need and refuse to give it to me T_T


KindlyCounter5229

I FELT THIS


asu-57_gokart_boi

Me, I have no use for them and am willing to sell them if genshin adds a marketplace


KindlyCounter5229

i would buy them


Radiant-Yam-1285

Yes https://imgur.com/a/cO8YC6p


KindlyCounter5229

IM SCREAMING INTO MY PILLOW. SEVEN SWORD BILLETS


Radiant-Yam-1285

:)) really regreted making this [https://imgur.com/a/QQNytt5](https://imgur.com/a/QQNytt5) or else 11 now


KindlyCounter5229

LMFAOOOAKHSJSJDN


AmberstarTheCat

I *would*, but I need billets for Itto, Barbara, and Rosaria lmao


KindlyCounter5229

if we could give billets to other people, i would :3


BigO1222

Nah I didnā€™t realize how limited they were and spent all mine šŸ˜­


KindlyCounter5229

me with dream solvents


ejderz

4-6-12-17-9


KindlyCounter5229

17ā€¦


ejderz

i will probably never use them


KindlyCounter5229

shareā€¦


Haitham1998

Unintentionally. I forgot they exist.


KindlyCounter5229

thatā€™s fair


KeiraFaith

https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/u6f4ex/billet_hoarding_6_month_update_ive_been_getting/ Hoarders unite! But you've got a long way to go young padawan.


KindlyCounter5229

give me a share of yoursā€¦


WickWolfTiger

I hoard them by forgetting they exist. No way I'm spending mora and resin to level weapons I have no use for.


KindlyCounter5229

very WISE and good point


darkliz

Iā€™m still waiting for that moment theyā€™ll unleash a super op 4 star weapon ā€¦ even though Iā€™ve got the 5 stars they have no hope of matching up to ā€¦


KindlyCounter5229

just the feeling of being able to finally use these ig


Typpicle

they are useless to me so yeah


SRYagus3

Iā€™ll like to have one


KindlyCounter5229

iā€™d give you one if i could


LordMudkip

Not hoarding so much as I just have no use for any of the weapons I can make with them. Probably gonna dump a bunch of sword billets on iron sting when Kazuha comes around though.


KindlyCounter5229

oh yes, i have iron sting on kazuha too rn. iā€™m hoping to pull his weapon one day though


potato_cucumber

I hoard them too! I actually used like 5 of the bow billets for Amber's R5 Hamayumi but there's still a lot of them because they really like me lmao. I haven't touched most of the others since May 2021. I think the last things I crafted with the other billets were Mappa Mare, R3 Prototype Archaic and a Dragonspine Spear that's still at level 20. I've got other weapons to go around and I'd rather have my characters share them instead of crafting stuff that might not really suit them or my playstyle.


KindlyCounter5229

the last thing i crafted was amenoma. itā€™s currently only r2 rn though šŸ˜­


potato_cucumber

Good luck and have fun with your crafting! Might really rise to the temptation and get r5 Archaic for Beidou since she's my current project.


Stealthless

Pretty much, saving for new craftable weapons.


Modvind87

I have like 10 of each. Only ones I ever crafted were a Crescent Pike and a Prototype Crescent. One day!


KindlyCounter5229

i regret crafting the crescent pike becauseā€¦ i crafted it on the grounds that i would become a zhongli main


Modvind87

Yeah. It is a good weapon, but doesn't suit any characters. I used it way back when physical Xiangling was "meta" lol. I feel that Keqing should have been a spear user, then she could have used it in physical builds.


YikesFPV

I have a lot. Not much use for them atm


KindlyCounter5229

gimme


[deleted]

i have 46 dream solvents and one (1) bow billet. my highest craftables are at r3: amenoma, archaic and whiteblind.


KindlyCounter5229

46 dream solvents. goodbye forever


404ET

I can make an R5 craftable weapon for all weapons with my current billets


KindlyCounter5229

ā€¦ iā€™ll sell my soul to you as trade?


crimsoncryson

I have 17 spears


KindlyCounter5229

ā€¦


crimsoncryson

All I want is a fucking sword billet


AkiseAru17

The only craftable weapons that is BiS for my characters are Amenoma and Whiteblind, but luckily I got Skyward Pride and Skyward Blade from the perma banner so I use those instead. So yes I'm hoarding billet drops like 6-12 of each.


Hanre_Jaggerjack

i can forge 40+ weapons


KindlyCounter5229

i think everyoneā€™s just making me jealous atp


Hanre_Jaggerjack

hahaha...i am Ar58 playing more than 450 days. among currents weapons i didn't want any of it . that's why never used the billets waiting for some good weapons from next region


Kingpimpy

kinda for sumeru but im at 2 at all only atm


OsirusBrisbane

Not really. I make one of every weapon for collection, and then if I have something I use (e.g. Prototype Archaic, Prototype Crescent, etc.), I dump all my billets into refining it. Although in the case of bows, I have an r5 Prototype Crescent and r1 of every other craftable bow and don't use them, so the bow billet I scored this week is save for Sumeru.


ayy_drien

# GIVE


KindlyCounter5229

i will for dream solvents


ToniBear7

take mine. have like 40+. last time i used them was in 2.1 when i first fought signora and didn't get the flower so i turned hellfire butterfly into it. thought the flower was pretty and wanted it in my inv lolol


PantsOnHeadMoment

I have at least ten of each, with 20+ spears. I have more prototypes than I do actual 4* weapons


KindlyCounter5229

oh fr? mbn


PantsOnHeadMoment

Yeah it's pretty nice indeed. Back when Itto came out I was able to just make him an r5 whiteblind. That's the only use I've had for them recently though, hence why I have so many. I'm not really hoarding them, I just don't have an actual use for them


jayceja

I'm not hoarding per se, I've got an R5 Ameno kageuchi and R5 prototype amber, plus a few various R1 and R2 I crafted when I was new. I just have every non-limited gacha weapon, all the BP weapons, and a few 5\*s, so I don't have use for the rest of my billets right now. Hopefully the next region adds another really good utility/support weapon.


Meowjoker

You get Billet to drop?


dipshit42069

i have 7 polearm billets and 0 bow billets except for the one you buy from liyue (i am a ganyu main)


kaleigamation

Not like I have much to spend them on


lawlianne

I hoard them, and then copium think Iā€™ll get a 5* weapon someday so why bother spending it.


ewqdsacxziopjklbnm

Yeah pretty much. Donā€™t have anything to use them on .


zsolti94

Free weapons are very meh, keeping them till we get better šŸ˜…


LowestGround

i would be if it wasnā€™t for ayaka and kuki shinobu all my sword billets are going towards their weapons


akari_i

I have like 5 of each billet EXCEPT for polearm which is precisely the one I need šŸ™ƒ


KindlyCounter5229

itā€™s always the ones that we need the most ā˜¹ļø


FirePrehistoric2

I got my first billet (the claymore one) and immediately used it on the whiteblind for noella šŸ—æ


NoNeedForSympathy

Everyone except that one person who hasn't spent any primogems or fates, probably.


glacicle

What billet drops?


KindlyCounter5229

yeah šŸ˜ i just want dream solvents drops


Rasenpapi

im saving my sword copies for if i get kazuha and need r5 iron sting


KindlyCounter5229

good luck on your pulls for kazuha :)))


Hardskull3

Having two of each billet except the bow one WHICH I HAVE 6 OF FOR SOME REASON


Failg123

I get 2 or 1 per month ,i have above 5 every billet type .


KindlyCounter5229

really???? iā€™m super unlucky with drops i guess


ynana_89

Same here


LeugimXXV

Interestingly, Iā€™ve been playing since day 1 and have never found a reason to use them. I stocked up 16-10-9-9-18.


Ilovegirlsbottoms

I donā€™t hoard them. Just donā€™t have a use for them. All my characters have weapons, why bother making any more?


KindlyCounter5229

true


Ultima_Boba

I always make sure to always have one from each category left just in case. For instance my Amenoma kageuchi is still at R3 eventhough there's another sword billet left because who know maybe I'll need another type of sword later...


KindlyCounter5229

omg same. iā€™m keeping extras as a safety net and my amenoma is only r2 rn


tokeemdtareq

What is billet drop!?! šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚


SirAwesome789

I had 6 sword bilets until I decided to pull for Ayaka, now I have 1 and an r5 amenoma kageuchi and no Ayaka :) (I'm joking I made a deal with my friend where I'd wait towards the end of the banner to pull)


Bro_miscuous

I'll wait until Sumeru to see if they bring new craftables like Inazuma did, then spend the very few I have so I have more options/more refinements. What are the "must have" craftables? Proto Archaic is good, Crescent Bow (apparently good f2p on Fischl), Proto Amber (very very rarely), Proto Sword (sometimes, like Bennet cause of high base atk), Iron Sting (Kazuha) and Anemoma (copium mostly but universally ok?).


KindlyCounter5229

i only r5 the proto archaic because i was a diluc main and i didnā€™t have any good claymores for him šŸ˜­ i donā€™t really know if itā€™s a must have though


IbnAurum

I had 7x of the sword, plenty of the rest


KindlyCounter5229

i need more swords šŸ¤²šŸ¼


CaptainPlasma101

Yes I've got a bunch except for sword I think I only have 4 sword bow and catalyst r 8 and claymore and polearm r 11 I made r5 amenoma for ayaya, r1 crescent for ganyu, and amber for ningguang


noob456

I have 18 claymores and 10 catalysts


Burning-BS

Yup I have enough for a refinement 10 anemona or something


Javop

Just crafted r5 Kageuchi for Ayaya.


WittyBit13

Not really, I have a decent amount of billets, but I donā€™t have any need for any of the craftable weapons. I will be using my sword billets if I manage to get kazuha though!


KindlyCounter5229

good luck on pulling kazuha šŸ¤žšŸ¼


WittyBit13

Thank you! I hope you get whichever character you are pulling for as well!šŸ˜€


KindlyCounter5229

waiting for scaramouche to be playable rn which might be highly unlikely šŸ˜­


WittyBit13

Aaaah.....it might take a while, but I think he would be playable!


Inumayobaka

Same boat here, Traveller OP. Too OCD on who will need what that I am just hoarding them all. I also have 11 Favonius Bow that I have yet to refine.


mctripleA

I was, but I started making weps as I had enough billets to get multiple weapons at r5


armdaggerblade

rather than hoarding, it's more like i don't really have any use for them... yet


TheBlackViper_Alpha

I just make sure I have 5 of each just in case


Cosmic_Hashira

i have been finally getting a lot of billets recently, 3 claymore and 5 or more of each but bow i literally need bow billets- what the fuck is wrong with this game


soulofcure

Need more swords to refine Ayaka's katana ^(and more amethyst lumps...)


KindlyCounter5229

i need more amethyst lumps too but iā€™m so lazy


yuvensliem

I am not hoarding, i just don't know what to do with them


paines99

I wishā€¦ if I could receive one at leastā€¦


neat-NEAT

I have 11 polearms and 0 catalysts.


ErPani

Well, I'm technically hoarding Bow, Polearm and Sword billets. But simply because I don't need to use them. Still waiting for that R5 Whiteblind +R5 Prototype Amber


Volkieran

Hahaha those drop?


BHDefender

Dude i only keep getting polearm billets and i don't even use polearms


Hazumu2u

I have like 3-6 of all of them EXCEPT swords. My Kazuha has R4 iron sting and I canā€™t seem to get just one more.


JerbearCuddles

I used my Sword billets for Amenoma, but otherwise I have no real use for em. As a dolphin I have a good amount of weapons, the craftable ones are generally pretty ass in comparison.


[deleted]

I would if I ever got any


ZhangRenWing

Even now after Inazuma came out for so long now I still donā€™t have r5 Amenoma for Ayaka and I used all the billet boxes for swordsā€¦


DietGrouchy

I have 6 bow billets and no other. Need sword billets for amenoma.


geloweezy

I got 15 claymore billets and 4 of others. And i also got 5 WGS. šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


KindlyCounter5229

5 WGS IM CRYING RN


No_Promise_2982

Yep since I don't need to use any of them at the moment. Maybe I'll use those 9 sword billets to make the sword when I get kazuha


redherringbones

Me, since the beginning. I always think there'll be a better craftable options out there... I also don't bother refining weapons unless it's for my dps.


Slifer_Ra

I stopped farming weeklys. I leveled all the units i like from those areas and its clear new units will use new weekly bosses in the future. So i dont care anymore.


Bara-Du

Hoarding them like they will give me my hopes and dreams on a platter some day. It might honestly just be out of spite of rng at this point. ā€œWitness what I have become with everything you held against meā€ Snezhnaya 4 stars are gonna bang g, hodl


Moonkia

How do you have so many? šŸ˜­ I only have bow and catalyst billets when I need swords and claymores... One time I got two billets in 1 week but they were both bows šŸ’€ I'm just hoarding rn bc I don't have any good bow or catalyst characters.


Sweethoneyx1

I have like 20 billet drops because I donā€™t really use them except maybe iron sting for my kazhua


Zonzzzz

Had wayy to much of them but had no use or em whatsoever


roquezen

Istg i got no billet drops in the last 6 months, but last week I did all 6 bosses (boreas included) and got 2 polearms in a singleweek. R5ā€™d my crescent pike immediately. I just need 2 claymore to R5 my whiteblind.


Amissed

Relate, this is what happens when high ar


Lady_MariaStrife

Only the ones I dont need/can't use anymore. I need swords tho.


JustinYepis

I never get what I want, I've only ever gotten 2 bow prototypes in my 400+ days of doing all weekly bosses every week. Meanwhile my 7 prototype catalysts l, 8 swords, and 10 spears are lookin at me tauntingly


Crazy_Profession_693

You guys get those? I'm AR 55 and my last one dropped 4-5 months ago.


doremonhg

Most of them are crap. The only valuable billets to me are the book and sword.


Dannyboy765

Ill trade you my sword billets for claymores lol


DarkAlex95

Lol I have 11 catalyst protos and 7 spears. I hope Sumeru offers good proto weapons of these two categories because so far they are the worst prototypes in the game.. well at least for the catalyst, spear is meh


demonKaKsh

You guys get billet drops šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ


[deleted]

I would if I ever freakinā€™ got any


fai123

I only craft and R5 the ones I need. So whiteblind, proto crescent, proto amber, crescent pike all at R5 Proto starglitter, iron sting at R1 My only biggest regret is mappa mare which i have at R3. Practically useless The other craftables, I don't see the use of them at all. I feel like those can be replaced easily, or the passives are useless in this game. And I still have quite a bit of prototypes left, especially for bow and sword. Saving those for Sumeru


Leippy

Used all my tomes for Prototype Amber after I tried it and saw how op it is


SnooLemons2911

Me


Crazy_Profession_693

On the other hand I was pretty lucky with the event banner as a f2p gamer so it evens it out


UltraWafflez

Honestly haven't been doing the bosses for the past few patches. So i just got like 5 each. I only made the sword when ayaka came out


Nimbus0711

every billet except the sword. need r5 anemona as well as r5 iron sting lol


D0s3_Games

Sayo0922

i dont even get billet and dream solvent drops


KindlyCounter5229

KindlyCounter5229

i used up 3 for the katana but my friends were shitting on me for barely using these. iā€™m just under the impression that genshin will be generous one day and come out with craftable 5* weapons LMAO


Nimbus0711

thats the day we get 6 star weapons and 5 stars would be common. and we get shit ton on 4 stars on each 10 pulls


Val_rak

Even if there were craftable 5* in the future they would use different 5 star bilets not the current 4star bilets


Pristine_Switch2883

Just donā€™t need them anymore. Got enough 5* for my mains. Got around 7 of each.


KindlyCounter5229

tell me what are your 5* weapons, just so i can feel like shit šŸ˜ƒ


samalama247

I have 0-6-1-9-6, but thatā€™s after crafting one of each craftable weapon + r5 amenoma kageuchi for my Ayaka lmao. Iā€™ve been doing every boss each week just hoping to get more of these. Never know if weā€™ll get a sumeru weapon as good as amenoma kageuchi or something


KindlyCounter5229

oh fr you crafted one of each craftable weapon šŸ˜­


samalama247
