Still working through Mav's quest but Cit better look out for Ayaka even if you have Lumine.
I mentioned the Xilonen price thing previously but haven't found an answer. Found a single reddit thread and they think the price is only part of lifespan/health/vitality, not the entire thing. Something regarding terms in other languages don't necessarily mean death.
Not sure what you mean on what the Fatui were researching, except for the thing to redo the leylines they decided to not use. The ones in Cit's quest were just bodyguards. You mean that one cave in the south-eastern part of Natlan? I just assumed Fatui being Fatui.
Didn't Xilonen say she had to trade her life to forge an ancient name for the traveler since they weren't from Natlan and something about "Mavuika, you know the cost". Or was that sidestepped when Ronova gave us the scroll in Ororon/Capitano's quest essentially for free?

I'm no lore buff and for the most part care very little about the story so I may be wrong but what I understood is that it would shorten her life not kill her outright.
I hate most of Natlan quests including Archon and story quests. They are almost always lets eat, celebrate or have some competition. The only quest I liked and remember is the Dragon one with a lot of lore behind it.
Found out there's a barrier for bringing your dinos out of Natlan. Children of Echos tribe also has a barrier around it for anything that isn't a ground dino.

Sorry didn't realize you were replying to me until just now lol. I miss those Yandere Ayaka memes, they were pretty funny.
Anyways, I assumed either that the price thing was lifespan OR they got to bypass it completely at the El Cap & Ororon part. I can't remember exactly what transpired there, but I seem to remember they got the scroll easier than they were expecting to?
Regarding the Fatui, it was after the leyline plan reveal, they found some 'ancient technology' that the Fatui were looking into. It was the part where you play as Chasca and her sister is helping you out. I think it was the Ochkonatlan "Source Technology" but they never paid off that plot point in any sort of way.

Even if that is true, I don't think they ever touched on the point again. Kinda silly considering that even giving like a 5th or 8th of your life is a huge ask for a random stranger. Turned out to be worth it I guess, since they won, but still. I think they were probably making that the original reason that Xilonen was avoiding Mav the whole time, but then they chose to make it into a "lol i'm so lazy" (she's actually totally not, probably the 2nd busiest character in the region) joke instead.
In other news, I got a Feather artifact from the Obsidian set that I wanted to give to Mav. Substats were decent starter rolls in Crit and Crit damage at level 1, with DEF (flat) as the 3rd substat, with the last one hidden until +4. I meant to just level it up to +4 to see what the last stat was, but unchecked the option previously at some point and it used my artifact juice since I ran out of 4* fodder...
You'll never guess the result
The ONE character in the game that doesn't need ER at all. Felt like one of the HoYo devs was sitting there manipulating my account and laughing the whole time
Anyways, got C2 Citlali. So my total haul this patch was Mav C2R1, Citlali C2R1. Insanely better than I ever expected when starting the patch. Now I'll be saving up for probably Skirk. I really hope they announce Mizuki going to standard, but I have a feeling they won't.
I'm hoping those story bits were purposefully left unresolved for upcoming quests. We still have half a version to go after all.
Been seeing a lot of criticism on the Natlan Archon Quests, but I'm getting more and more convinced it has more to do with whether you like the character than the actual quality of the quests. So many who say they prefer Sumeru and Fontaine also complain about the 'male gaze' in Natlan. Many of their grievances also apply to other AQs. All of them have had serious flaws in both writing and pacing after all.

Yea I liked the more straightforward Archon quest this time. It was nice to see something a little more basic and not subversion just for subversion's sake. The pacing could have been better and it would have been nice if the antagonists were explained/fleshed out more. There was so much foreshadowing with the eye thing from the previous AQ, and then it just ended up being "Lol idk we'll turn into a dragon with 2 swords or whatever who cares lol" The scenes and the uplifting story itself was a nice change of pace.
I do see what the complainers are saying in that Mav never really had any growth/character moments outside of her promo videos, but she wasn't obnoxious or cocky about it like a western female protag would be.
Hope there's a nice payoff for our lil saurian buddy quest line. Looks like leaks say 5.5 will be the volcano area added to the game, so we should see that finish up at that point.

That wasn't fatui. That was someone from the children of echos butthurt they couldn't complete the training. Also, I thought the captain thing was to negate Mav's death for using the power during the war arc, not to substitute the price for forging the name.
But you were literally hiding and advancing on the Fatui. It wasn't what the quest was about, but they were there researching something separate from the Flower-Feather clan stuff.

I kind of remember sneaking around but don't remember why. Don't think the fatui were in Chasca's quest. Also, I thought the captain thing was to negate Mav's death for using the power during the war arc, not to substitute the price for forging the name.
So I finally finished fontaine, I thought it would've been awful since some people told me it was, but I actually enjoyed it, all of the story quests were basically murder mystery vibes; maybe the experience was better for me because I played it all in one go instead of having to wait for updates.
Anyway, I would've preferred if fontaine was actually destroyed, at least partially, and you could only explore it by swimming afterwards.
Spent far too much time this past week trying to raise as many primogems as I could while Mav was still on the limited banner. Got rewarded today with...C3 for my Qiqi. Mav will have to stay C2 for now, but at least I finally finished up getting her weapon to Lv. 90.
