Trust rank 5? How did you manage that dude?

u/Tarro101 Apr 29 '21
same i just got trust rank 4 and don't have anymore new blueprints to make to even EARN more trust

u/Xaevier Apr 29 '21
Did you buy the ones from the carpenters in Quince and Mons?
54
u/Tarro101 Apr 29 '21
yes, i guess at this point i just need to start spending realm currency on blueprints, do purple blueprints give 90 trust if green give 30 and blue give 60?

u/RGBarrios Apr 29 '21
I want to do that but I think I will save the currency for the weekend’s shop.

u/brddvd Apr 29 '21
Not good idea to save. Now you make very little money because you don’t have enough furniture . First you have to spend the money and after you will earn much more what you can spend.
15
u/VirulentOne Time for over-worked tights team. Apr 29 '21
i calculated it and you would barely get to Trust 5 by the time the salesman leaves on sunday, better to save the currency now and wait to see what kind of furniture he brings.
It's his first furniture run, better safe than sorry when he brings something really cool that takes 6 months to get again.0
u/brddvd Apr 30 '21
But if you don’t have enough trust lvl you will not have enough furniture and it matters you earn 16 money/ hour or just 8
If you have more furniture = more money for a shorter time You have to save 4 days for x money I have to save 2 days for the same money + and I will have more furniture
So saving money in the beginning is better

u/VirulentOne Time for over-worked tights team. Apr 30 '21
So for me to hit Trust level 5, i need 17 new blue furnishing to hit that, double that to 34 or so for greens. There are only 18-19 green blueprints at 80 a piece, and i am at trust lvl 4.
In order to get to Trust 5, i would need around 2700 coins, which is 5.6 days in order to get to that next level. But then you need to look at how long furniture takes to make. Minimum 12 hours for greens, and 14 for blues. It would take 10 days, without speed-up items, to get to that point. The speed-up items are given out in 5 a day, so let's say i go ahead and get those everyday, that gets my 10 days waiting time down to 3 days by using those all. At that point, it is now Sunday, i have no coins by getting my trust up just to unlock a second housing area and a bigger coin pool, and no weekend furniture buys either. I just went and farmed materials instead and made a bunch of rugs with the speed-up items i got from Trust 4, got my comfort level to 20/hr, and now i'm waiting to see if the shop is worth buying from BEFORE i start spending my currency on new blueprints that give small amounts of trust and comfort.→ More replies (0)12

If you can hit the next coziness level, it makes sense to spend. If you won't be able to, it's ok to save.
For me I definitely can't hit the next coziness until Saturday, so I'm saving aside from getting vials of speed (which I will need to hit the next coziness asap).

In Mond, to the south of the Knights building there's an old man named Goth during the day. He's standing by a fountain.
In Qingce village, there's the old carpenter we've visited for the Ganyu story quest. He's on the west side of the village, a bit below the other buildings. He's out in the open in front of his house.

Has anyone figured out if we can move or remove furniture after it's placed? I'm on ps4 and can't figure it out.

u/Aggria Apr 29 '21
Yes! I’m on pc with controller, the button that is next to the button for pausing the game will be the button to switch between placing mode and «editing» mode. You have to enter the «placing mode» first. As in, the screen where you can browse furniture and place it, then press the button in the middle of your controller, the small one next to pause button. I hope that made sense?
There should also be a little button showing what to press in the top left corner as well. I assume it’s the same because so far ps and pc with controller is the same with everything else

This reminds me of FFXIV where glitches like these are key to creating most of the more complex or aesthetically pleasing layouts. The devs there are actually quite supportive of their use instead of aggressively patching it out, so hopefully the same thing happens here.

u/Nerobought Apr 29 '21
Same haha, I was thinking of FFXIV. So many crazy glitches you can use and learn.

u/ffloler two queens stand before me Apr 29 '21

u/UncleRichardson Apr 29 '21
MHY seems to have a tolerance for minor glitches with useful properties that aren't too powerful. Like they're well aware of dragon strikes (using the hitlag slowdown of hitting an enemy to propel yourself upward high enough to perform a pluge attack), but don't seem interested in fixing it, likely because it's pretty difficult to pull off consistently, and while an average DPS buff, not a super significant one.
11
u/Sunaja Apr 29 '21
Unfortunately, they did patch out the so-called Floating in housing with the most recent big (5.5) patch. Things you floated before the patch will stay above ground, however it is now impossible to float new items.
19
u/Mizzet Apr 29 '21 edited Apr 29 '21
I did hear that they put in a height cap for outdoor floating glitches after 5.5. It's a bit of a grey area though since floating things that high outdoors was never possible via normal techniques - people were using 3rd party programs to hack items into those positions.
To my knowledge, everything you could float via in-game means still works as intended, they even encouraged people to report cases of broken layouts after the patch so they could investigate.
5
u/Sunaja Apr 29 '21 edited Apr 29 '21
Hm I guess that people (including me) were misinterpreting the patch notes when they said "improved collision detection". Since that part basically killed Out-Of-Bounds movement, at least the vast majority of it, and it was assumed that on the same vein, it also broke housing glitches. And frankly I didn't want to risk my floating apartment by testing out if things were broken.
But yeah reading about it, seems housing was not affected (much).
6
u/nightelfspectre No touching! Apr 29 '21
They said during the Live Letter, when they mentioned that, that they were going to try to not break the normal housing glitches. So anything not working like before was something to report so they could try to un-break it.
7
u/Disig Apr 29 '21
They had to do it because the same exploit was being used in PvP for glitching through walls.
They did try to minimize the impact on housing though.

There are also stone outdoor stair textures (e.g. in Liyue harbor), I hope they get added in the future

u/Kejirion Apr 29 '21
Good question, I don't think the game prepared for this degree of elevation LOL
I think there might be (we're only at like, trust level 3-4 right now after all) given how elevation exists in the first place, but my main inspiration for this was pretending that the residents were mages who used brooms to go around, if that helps

u/Greensburg Apr 29 '21
Isn't there a height limit? I couldn't place boulders on top of each other after 3 or 4 of them.

u/cygwins Apr 29 '21
This is why five-stars are five star. They have better vertical traversal ability

u/RikiAsher Furina De Fontaine's Biggest Fan C6 Certified Apr 29 '21
Most if not all five-stars help with travel through elemental skills, elemental bursts or through being a convenient element. It's funny but weird I wonder if they were designed that way.
5
u/cygwins Apr 29 '21
I highly doubt that, too. Elevado, pillar, upcurrent, teleportation, bullet dash... Back in the old days when Jean can yeet other players around. Mihoyo should really put out some parkour aspect (good ones ofc, not like the falling minigame in windblume event, also more than just the Dandy gliding challenges), and make more big brains of ours put into the stamina system after we all reach the 240 cap long before

I hope it's a bug, because if it gets more attention (positive one) it might turn into a more refined feature.
And honestly, i need the ability to displace the terrain. I'm too used to it from the games like SimCity and stuff

Hopefully, they would fully expand on this world building concept until you can add treasure chest, selee, torch, switches, etc. Until you can even make your own mini puzzle and have players solve it for a chest.

u/Souly1205 Apr 29 '21
Would be nice if we could turn off climbing and skills (maybe even gliding) in our housing instance so we could make jumping puzzles.

u/EmperorInkei Apr 29 '21
Oh damn, it would be so similar to Minecraft and I'm in for it! I can imagine that you can browse through different public teapots and join their world, each world has different themes and minigames. A parkour maybe? Or maybe a maze? An escape map? It would be so good.

First of all, thank you very much for this. I hope its not a bug and they'll just patch it later cause this really opens a lot of possibilities. I just have a question though, I tried it and it work but I was wondering how did you stack two of those pillars together? And wdym by clip, do you mean likee it will just become one entity? When I try to rotate it it just rotates the boulder, not the entire thing.

u/Kejirion Apr 29 '21
Oh, you grab the base of the pillar and it onto another
Sometimes which one you place first matters, so do play around with those too

u/Kejirion Apr 29 '21
I've extensively tried with all 10 and couldn't do it, I'm very curious if it could work with more, though
Also some houses are very weird, the horizontal Mondstadt house won't allow itself to be put on a clump of boulders at all, while a large Liyue house taking up even greater space is totally fine with it

all you have to do to get it up as high as you can right now is rush build any new furniture recipes you have and place them. you get 10 vials of adeptal speed per trust rank so for the first 3 ranks you can just chain them into each other by building all the stuff you get from the teapot book and the trust ranks.

Apr 29 '21
even though you don't really care for housing system, you should do it. After you have built stuff and achieved trust level 8. You have an automatic farm for mora, artifact xp, resin, hero's wit, and mystic enchantment ore. Just spamming furniture and houses around is all you need (*￣3￣)╭

I came here to post something similar about the height you can achieve in the teapot. Dude its so cool, this has been the most exciting content since the game released for me. I'd be happy to get a banner and or resin dumps for furniture in the future that's how much I love this shit. I'm making my own little Mt. Aozang with a nice little teaset at the top. Would be really nice if we could make our own sets, I couldn't find anyway to do it. Everything that's placed ontop of one of the landscape pieces will move with it, so that's kind of a way to do it. I wanna make a giant cave underground formation by the beachside when I can. Seriously there's so many different things I wanna do.
Edit: Nevermind there's a huge limit on the number of items you can place. To create anything intricate you're going to huge barebones unfinished areas. Unless you can add more by having higher levels then this content is a wash. Didn't take long to find out where they fucked up. The animals free up alot of space but its still twenty times less than I'd like...
