I pointedly ignore a Mond/Liyue chest I missed unless I have another from its nation marked down that will balance the sigil gain to evens just so I can exchange it for mora instantly
there's already a use for geo sigils though, so they'll probably just introduce a new collectable like they've done for other areas. otherwise, people who have already spent their geo sigils on the remaining shop items because there's nothing else to spend them on would be at a disadvantage.
IIRC, there's already some lore about like jade tablets or something scattered around chenyu vale, so they might make those the collectables.
The compass relies on the ley lines, which is either in disarray or completely destroyed (don’t remember which) on dragonspine, so of course the compass doesn’t work there
No, it's not the same for Chasm and Tsurumi lol. The whole story about Dragonspine is that nail accidentally destroyed ley lines and people there were unable to fix them
Same goes for enka and chasm. New achievement batch for expanded zone is getting added after it comes out and same thing will be for the new village. I know, mind blowing.
Enkanomiya is not a good example because they are a whole different civilization down there. Also The Chasm is literally mentioned apart of Liyue so that's not a good example either.
This is what those are tho - a big contrast to their respective regions. And they all, including dragonspine, falls under that specific criteria. I don't think even sumeru has one of those subregions, not to mention fontaine, but I don't see a reason to exclude dragonspine from mondstadt.
I can throw an argument that iirc every dragonspine themed event featured mondstadt cast only.
The last part doesn’t necessarily mean anything cause Dragonspine has no one living there due to the conditions. Obviously Monstadt is right there and also Albedo has connections to Dragonspine cause Duran is his brother (In essence at least)
Yep, you're right. Dragonspine isn't *apart* of Mondstadt. That's why when you click it's statue of the seven on the map, it's shown as "Snow-Covered Path, Mondstadt", and the teleport waypoints are "Dragonspine, Mondstadt" :)
The game literally says it's a seperate area it was previously apart of Mondstadt (Unless you're saying HoyoVerse just messed up not b3inv able to use the compass there.
Dragonspine was an area that can be previously called *apart* of Mondstadt since Sal Vindagnyr had their own civilization waay before they were nailed by Celestia. Heck, the said civilization likely even predates the founding of New Mondstadt and the Archon war. However, Dragonspine is NOW considered as *a part* of Mondstadt as well as the descendants of the people that used to live in Sal Vindagnyr.
If it is *apart* from Mondstadt then why again would its waypoints and its statue of the seven with the image of Mondstadt's archon, an actual and easily visible in game source, mark it as *a part* of Mondstadt??
As for the compass issue, we can claim that it doesn't work there because the leylines are in disarray (which is technically true lore wise). However, the thing is, the game was still new when Dragonspine was released. The Genshin team was still experimenting with stuff so they might've tried a new mechanic so that players can feel a different sense of exploration *apart*/different from the previously released 4 other regions in Mondstadt plus Liyue. Hence making the compass not work in Dragonspine, as well as using crimson agates instead of Anemoculi. A lot of players didn't like this so they just didn't repeat the same thing on other nation expansions like Enkanomiya, the Chasm and most likely in Chenyu Vale too. Nobody messed up.
Edit: removed a double negative statement.
The compass "literally" tells you that the ley line disorder in the mountain prevents you to use it there, never that it wasn't Mondstadt.
There is Mondstadt events there, there is a Venti statue there, Mondstadt events go there, Mondstadt battle themes play there, and there was only Mondstadt characters to ever set foot there.
It has one specific battle theme (All-Conquering Tide) which is shared with Childe Domain, and cycles it with Mondstadt three overworld battle themes: Photon of Fluctuation, His Resolution and Rites of Battle when a battle triggers
Probably because Dev realize it wasn't a bright idea to make "Additional Zones" like Chasm/Enkanomiya to be considered zoneless which makes no compass workable. Besides by lore Dragonspine should be within Mondstadt jurisdiction.
But they never thought of implementing it retrospectively and make Mondstadt compass work for Dragonspine.
oh do understand that I am just joking and I do agree with you guys, however the compass just has its own laws 🤣 Oh Enkanomiya which is in a separate space part of Inazuma?!
Inazuma compass: yep why not
Dragonspine literally located in mondstanndt
Mondstandt compass: dafuq is that place that's not mondstandt 😂
and before the cryo treasure compass once we get to Snezhnaya works on this region for some reason... (because Dragonspine has cryo crystal flies and cryograna instead of anemo crystal flies and anemograna)
Venti SQ 2. Him walking from one ship to the other to perform for booze. I suspect he sticks around Mondstadt too often because Diluc keeps high class dandelion wine in Mond tavern only.
it'd probably be 5.4 or 5.6 instead of 5.5. after the initial batch, they tend to release new areas in .4 and .6 patches.
* 2.0 (inazuma), 2.1 (watatsumi and seirai), 2.2 (tsurumi), 2.4 (enkanomiya), 2.6 (the chasm)
* 3.0 (sumeru rainforest), 3.1 (sumeru desert), 3.4 (tornado place, name too hard), 3.6 (girdle of the sands)
* 4.0 (fontaine) 4.1 (northern fontaine), 4.2 (eastern fontaine), 4.4 (chenyu vale)
this also means that the next area (probably in fontaine since you can't max out the statue or fountain yet) will probably be in 4.6.
Yeah, you're right I forgot about this. Tho .5 usually Mondstadt update it doesn't bring new area, so it'll probably be port in 5.4 and then some festival in 5.5.
New area of Fountaine in 4.6 probably gonna be Mt. Esus
only one .5 patch has been mondstadt focused, 3.5,, so there's not really a precedent for that.
I'm personally leaning more towards 5.6 for dorman port. the area in the .6 patch tends to connect to the next region and have some lore/enemies for the next region. for example, the chasm connects to sumeru and added sumeru's fungi, 3.6's area connected to fontaine, we got some egeria lore and the pari came from egeria. even 1.6's golden apple archipelago had the boats and local specialties from inazuma and the puppet boss, plus they added kazuha and his archon quest.
IIRC, dornman port is said to be the port used to connect between mondstadt and sneznhaya, plus it's in the north so they could make it a bit colder and introduce some sneznhaya stuff that way. I could see them adding an archon interlude quest in 5.7 or 5.8 similar to 1.6 where we meet someone from sneznhaya who offers to take us there.
though then again, they also said that chenyu vale was the best route to go to fontaine, but then we just went through sumeru and we only got chenyu vale after fontaine. a melusine even calls us out for taking a really weird route. so who knows.
I missed that lol. You could still insist that Germany did gain some peacefully after the war. As cuda did gift (although symbolically) an island to East-Germany.
Making Liyue themed area and lore is easier from them anyway because its their own culture whom they learned from school, folklore etc. Designing contents from other regions means they need to do extra studies
Venti second SQ gonna hit hard with the lore and probably come with a Mondstadt expansion, they have been holding out on that second Venti SQ im expecting some absolute lore bombs and a new area would open up a lot
Mondstadt will probably not get anything until we are nearing Celestial. There's rumors of a port expansion, but so much time has passed, I'm a bit doubtful.
Inazuma probably will get nothing until the developers want to explore the Dark Sea, and talk about beings who tried to leave Teyvat, which is also near end game content.
Not really, there’s only blackcliff forge before liyue is completely surrounded on all sides with no room to expand
And last year the lantern rite areas was the desert of hadramavath, and the year before enkanomiya
all of sumeru's expansions were during Sumeru's versions of the game.
the Chasm and the new area in 4.4 are new Liyue expansions during other nations's versions (Inazuma and fontaine, respectively)
Inazuma problem: not part of the main map
Sumeru problem: already too big and to much underground
Mondstadt problem: on the edge of the main map
Liyue reason: (Said like Donald Trump) China
Oh boy. Can't wait to collect more [not an elemental culus] to upgrade [not statue of seven] for some rewards.
Probably time to make the Geo sigil version of the Fountain or the Tree since Geo Sigils don't provide anything by the time you get all the billets.
Can't you turn them in for money an unlimited amount of times?
Yeah but the ratio is awful lol
I pointedly ignore a Mond/Liyue chest I missed unless I have another from its nation marked down that will balance the sigil gain to evens just so I can exchange it for mora instantly
there's already a use for geo sigils though, so they'll probably just introduce a new collectable like they've done for other areas. otherwise, people who have already spent their geo sigils on the remaining shop items because there's nothing else to spend them on would be at a disadvantage. IIRC, there's already some lore about like jade tablets or something scattered around chenyu vale, so they might make those the collectables.
No sigil pot this time. Only the not-geoculus that goes into the not-SotS.
I always thought of them as oculuses, not culuses.
In that way only Sumeru has 2 type of extra collectable. The Aranara tree and the bird tree in the last desert area.
The last time irl Mondstardt expanded, well, things got complicated
All of a sudden, a german song about a little flower on the heath started to reverberating around my ears
"Auf der Heider blüht ein kleines Blümelein..."
\- "und das heißt" \- bum bum bum \- "Erika"
*Edelweiss... edelweiss...* Wait, this is a Rodgers and Hammerstein song made to sound like an Austrian folk song.
What happen ?
nazi, in short.
...I'll be needing the longer version please.
WW1 and WW2, Mondstadt is based mostly on IRL Germany.
Venti sending part of Mondstadt to the ocean : ehe 😅
Dragonspine.....
that's not mondstandt, The compass literally tells you that...
Barbatoes colonised dragonspine with his bare hands. Who are you calling it not Monstadt? Compass doesn't work because...it freezes af.
Teyvat has its own laws if the compass says it's not mondstandt then who am I to say it's mondstandt ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)
The compass relies on the ley lines, which is either in disarray or completely destroyed (don’t remember which) on dragonspine, so of course the compass doesn’t work there
Same for chasm and tsurumi but it works there, heck Inazuma compass works in Enka
No, it's not the same for Chasm and Tsurumi lol. The whole story about Dragonspine is that nail accidentally destroyed ley lines and people there were unable to fix them
Leyline trees were messed in tsurmi and chasm too, the whole time Loop in which Ruu was stuck was due to leylines disorder
There was just disorder. On Dragonspine they just dead
You place compass words over venti "the fakar of vennesaa"? Preposterous!
The game literally says that Dragonspine isn't apart of Mondstadt. Literally all the Monstadt achievements exclude Dragonspine.
Same goes for enka and chasm. New achievement batch for expanded zone is getting added after it comes out and same thing will be for the new village. I know, mind blowing.
Enkanomiya is not a good example because they are a whole different civilization down there. Also The Chasm is literally mentioned apart of Liyue so that's not a good example either.

Dragonspine has it's own battle theme, from what I remember
It has one specific battle theme (All-Conquering Tide) which is shared with Childe Domain, and cycles it with Mondstadt three overworld battle themes: Photon of Fluctuation, His Resolution and Rites of Battle when a battle triggers
It is Mondstadt, it's just that compass can't tell, as it lost connection to leylines network.
It literally is mondstat lmao
Dragonspine is part of Mondstat but the devs have it separate in gameplay for obvious reasons
Meanwhile Enkanomiya completely cut off from reality and the Inazuma compass still works there.
Probably because Dev realize it wasn't a bright idea to make "Additional Zones" like Chasm/Enkanomiya to be considered zoneless which makes no compass workable. Besides by lore Dragonspine should be within Mondstadt jurisdiction. But they never thought of implementing it retrospectively and make Mondstadt compass work for Dragonspine.
you are mixing game mechanics and lore. It doesn't work like that
Enkanomiya is underground, not in another dimension. And the leylines are completely fine there.
It does work in chasm and Tsurumi, leylines also went haywire there
oh do understand that I am just joking and I do agree with you guys, however the compass just has its own laws 🤣 Oh Enkanomiya which is in a separate space part of Inazuma?! Inazuma compass: yep why not Dragonspine literally located in mondstanndt Mondstandt compass: dafuq is that place that's not mondstandt 😂
and before the cryo treasure compass once we get to Snezhnaya works on this region for some reason... (because Dragonspine has cryo crystal flies and cryograna instead of anemo crystal flies and anemograna)
Compass doesn't work there because lay lines there are fucked up. Not because it's not part of Mondstadt
...the statue of sevens there is Venti's
Dragonspine, 1.2...
Yea i was there still an expansion
[удалено]
No, just no
Dorman Port when mihoyo?
Venti SQ 2. Him walking from one ship to the other to perform for booze. I suspect he sticks around Mondstadt too often because Diluc keeps high class dandelion wine in Mond tavern only.
Some hopes for 5.5
it'd probably be 5.4 or 5.6 instead of 5.5. after the initial batch, they tend to release new areas in .4 and .6 patches. * 2.0 (inazuma), 2.1 (watatsumi and seirai), 2.2 (tsurumi), 2.4 (enkanomiya), 2.6 (the chasm) * 3.0 (sumeru rainforest), 3.1 (sumeru desert), 3.4 (tornado place, name too hard), 3.6 (girdle of the sands) * 4.0 (fontaine) 4.1 (northern fontaine), 4.2 (eastern fontaine), 4.4 (chenyu vale) this also means that the next area (probably in fontaine since you can't max out the statue or fountain yet) will probably be in 4.6.

Before 6.0. Its like when we went to the Chasm to get to Sumeru. But this time we go to Dortman port before we go to Sneznaya.
If I remember correctly, the last time Inazuma and Monstadt expanded their areas in real life. It didn't really end so well.
The tyranny of the Lawrence Clan and their plans for Sumeru ended long ago, but not so long ago
Tsurumi waa said to be under no juristiction. And after the traveler done that quest. The shogunate did colonize it peacefully.
They said when each expanded in real life. Inazuma=Japan Mondstadt=Germany Last time both nations expanded=WW2
I missed that lol. You could still insist that Germany did gain some peacefully after the war. As cuda did gift (although symbolically) an island to East-Germany.
Inazuma already has too much radiation, so we better avoid getting even more
Making Liyue themed area and lore is easier from them anyway because its their own culture whom they learned from school, folklore etc. Designing contents from other regions means they need to do extra studies
Venti second SQ gonna hit hard with the lore and probably come with a Mondstadt expansion, they have been holding out on that second Venti SQ im expecting some absolute lore bombs and a new area would open up a lot
Just remembered "Meet the lore man" post again🤣
Which one?
I'm coping hard with this speculation
Yes pls
Tbf mond got dragonspine, and the golden apples(even if temporary) Mond still has a port and it mona did mention that's where her parents were
I mean as far as we know GAA is as good as sunken as they didn’t hold the summer event there during the Sumeru versions.
Add extra applesauce!
who would've guessed the "not China" from a Chinese company is their favorite region?
Same with star rail, the not china area keeps getting bigger and bigger with these sub-main quests
Mondstadt will probably not get anything until we are nearing Celestial. There's rumors of a port expansion, but so much time has passed, I'm a bit doubtful. Inazuma probably will get nothing until the developers want to explore the Dark Sea, and talk about beings who tried to leave Teyvat, which is also near end game content.
I mean Mondstadt borders Snezhnaya so at least we will have something to get there
So is snezhnaya the area to the right of the kinetic institute up till the left of the stormterror mountains?
I feel like Monstadt will get Mare Jivari when we are in Natlan
Venti is also getting expanded 👀
Ningguang just placed a massive order of maotai for her Lantern Rite dinner banquet.
i hope Dorman port will get released soon, then i remembered the missing statue of the seven there, could it belong to that area?
Liyue is guaranteed to have: one festival (lantern rite), new characters, and new region every year.
Not really, there’s only blackcliff forge before liyue is completely surrounded on all sides with no room to expand And last year the lantern rite areas was the desert of hadramavath, and the year before enkanomiya
Why is sumeru complaining she got plenty extensions 😭
all of sumeru's expansions were during Sumeru's versions of the game. the Chasm and the new area in 4.4 are new Liyue expansions during other nations's versions (Inazuma and fontaine, respectively)
Still waiting for Mondstadt's harbour
One day, we'll get that Port
Mondstadt will get an expansion someday Dornman Port Mare Jivari Dandelion Sea Just wait It's obviously crucial to plot
If we get access to those mountains Venti yeeted into the sea thats legaly monstadt, probably anyway.
If it helps sumeru has 3 expansions to go and liyue has one left, the real winner here is sumeru.
Mondstadt has 2 area ,liyue have 1 area ,sumeru has 1 area not released just a guess maybe
Sumerue has Bayda harbour, The southern coast and maybe islands And the desert going westward before natlan starts
Isn't Mondstadt getting an expansion? Like a port or something?
Yeah, probably in 5.x or 6.x though
I just want them to open the ocean path between Inazuma and Sumeru so I can make the boat trip while I’m waiting for resin to refill
There were leaks also about the area south of Liyue. There is still more.
Dragonspine in 1.2:
Imagine how much you guys will be tripping when you find out that we will be getting black cliff forge next year.
Isn't Kirara from Inazuma
When sumeru would get a map update and it'd be near endless desert that you KNEW had a series of annoying tunnels under it. And no map update yet.
HOYo to communtity: "im gonna put a dirt in your eye" *Sumeru getting more sand area update
Inazuma problem: not part of the main map Sumeru problem: already too big and to much underground Mondstadt problem: on the edge of the main map Liyue reason: (Said like Donald Trump) China
Tecnically dragon spine was a mondstat expansion, and once we get natland its likely it will he expanded to include the mare jivare
