A Brief Introduction to Genshin Impact - AKA "That one game that looks like Breath of the Wild"
Ever since the game was announced to have a Switch port coming soon, many who have previously never heard of Genshin Impact grew intrigued. The open world in particular peaked the interest of many, especially after comparisons to Breath of the Wild were drawn. In anticipation of the port, I’d like to give a brief rundown on what the game is, and how aspects of it work. While the game is free, so there is no harm in trying it out, I’m hoping this post will serve as a guide for anyone on the fence about giving it a shot. What exactly is Genshin Impact? Genshin Impact is a fantasy open world action RPG from Chinese developer studio miHoYo, responsible for a couple prior games, notably mobile game Honkai Impact 3rd. Though they aren’t strangers to games, Genshin Impact is their latest, and by far most successful title yet. The game is set on the continent of Teyvat, a vast, completely open world consisting of 7 nations associated with a different element, and a god-like figure of said element. You play the role of a traveler from a far away world, sealed in Teyvat following a confrontation with a powerful entity who separates you from your sibling. Your main driving goal is to reunite with said lost sibling. On your journey you are accompanied by a strange floating fairy thing which accompanies you and serves as both a guide as well as a quirky sidekick. Important thing to note at this point is that the game is not currently finished. Genshin Impact is a live service game, receiving continuous content, story, and event updates every 6 weeks. At the current point, with everything there is to do at the moment, the story is less than a quarter of the way finished. The story is expected to develop over time via game updates. Currently, only 2 of the 7 regions are available to explore. As this implies, Genshin Impact isn’t the type of game you blast through in a week. It’s a long term commitment. What is the gameplay? Being an open world game, a big emphasis on exploration is present in the game. Several markers exist within the world that encourage travelling across the world to discover them all and have constant access to the entire world by warping to these markers. Materials from the world itself are everywhere, and are actually critical in the upgrading and improving of of your party members. In this regard, running around gathering any harvestable materials you see is highly rewarded. The world itself is vast, full of everything ranging from sheer cliffs, to dense forests, snowy mountains, beaches, and plains. Domains, which are basically this game’s version of dungeons, are present, only unlike BOTW, they are almost entirely combat trial based, either having you defeat a certain amount of enemies, of defeat all enemies within a set amount of time, usually with sort of restriction or challenge aspect to them. Completion of these domains rewards loot such as weapons and artifacts (equippable items to make your party members stronger), which you can either use to improve your team, or upgrade your existing weapons/artifacts by infusing them into them. World bosses also exist in addition to regular enemies, which drop special materials required for upgrading your characters, Safe to say, you’ll be fighting these world bosses a lot. What About the Combat? Combat in this game is very much team focused. Don’t expect to have success by relying on one overpowered party member destroying everything. You have 4 party member slots, and each character in the game has a unique element associated with them. Those being Pyro (fire), Hydro (Water), Cryo (ice), Geo (earth), Anemo (wind), Electro (electricity), and Dendro (nature/plants, no current playable character has this element). Switching in and out between party members in battle to cause elemental reactions of the various elements is a huge part of the game’s combat, and thus a balanced team composition of characters of varying elements is encouraged to maximize damage potential. This might sound a little confusing, but in practice it becomes much clearer. In addition, the combat isn’t turn-based. Everything happens in real time, so you’ll need to rely on quick thinking and maneuvers in combat. Every playable character in Genshin Impact has unique attributes and skills that set them apart from the rest, all with varying playstyles and roles. This means you have lots of freedom in terms of how you set up your party based on how you like to play or what role you want someone to fill. There are four different weapon types as well, being swords, bows, polearms, claymores, and catalysts (basically ranged magic), further increasing potential avenues for teambuilding. Now while all this may seem like a lot of work and things to keep in mind, it’s important to remember that... Genshin Impact is a PVE Game You can play co-op with your friends and explore and beat dungeons together, but there is no PVP in this game at all. None. This, in essence, means there is little pressure to actually grind and make your team as good as it can possibly be. Genshin Impact isn’t a particularly difficult game. If you want, you can play with your favorites only and you’ll do fine. There’s no need to stress about using the very best characters with the very best equipped artifacts or the very best weapon. This much freedom in how you chose to build your party, and no pressure to compete in some sort of meta ultimately results in a refreshingly laid back experience, allowing one to truly experiment and see what style fits them best, at least for me. Unfortunately, I’d be hard pressed to not mention Genshin Impact’s big catch. I’ve been painting it in a pretty positive light thus far, but now comes the time where I talk about the thing that will unfortunately put many people off of this game. If Genshin Impact is free, how is it monetized? Put bluntly, Genshin Impact uses a gacha monetization system. For those unfamiliar, gacha is a system where resources are spent on random items in a store. If it sounds like I’m describing a lootbox, it’s because I am. Assuming you start playing right now, you’re only going to get access to 5 playable characters. You, 3 other party members to start you off, and another one you get by completing a challenge. Every other character in the game, of which there are 20 and counting, are only available via “wishes.” Wishes are the lootboxes. They take an ingame form of currency known as “primogems” which are trickle fed to the player via completing tasks in game, and in special events. They also just so happen to be in the store, purchasable with real money. Unlockable characters are categorized into 4 stars and 5 stars. 4 stars you can expect to obtain roughly every 10 wishes. 5 stars are much more rare, with less than a 1% chance to get one until you hit 75 wishes, in which case your odds increase until you roll one. Keep in mind, you have absolutely no control over what you get when you wish. This system exists for 4 and 5 star weapons as well, with the same system. It’s gambling. Plain and simple. Please, do not play this game if you have an addictive personality and are the type to impulsively spend large amounts of money on games like this. The other notable form of monetization is the resin system. Resin is essentially energy. Many things in this game cost resin to complete, such as domains and bosses. And given that domains and bosses drop essential materials for improving your team, you’ll be doing them very often. Resin regenerates over time, or is able to be purchased via the game’s aforementioned premium currency, primogems. As you can probably guess, the game artificially limits what you can do every day in order to keep you consistently playing day by day, in an attempt to get you addicted to the point where you’re more comfortable spending real money. Such is the sad reality of many games, and Genshin is not immune to these monetization tactics. The sliver lining is that money only accelerates the process or ensures you can get a character or weapon you want from a lootbox. As I mentioned, you get the premium currency just by playing the game, only they are very stingy with it. TL;DR If you go into Genshin Impact expecting a game that provides a story you can blast through in a week, and gameplay that respect’s the player’s time, you will be disappointed. However, if you can accept the free-to-play monetization tactics, are intrigued by the battle and exploration systems I’ve described, and just want the type of game you can play for about an hour every day, give it a shot. It’s free, so it couldn’t hurt. I hope this post helped anyone with any doubts or concerns. I have over 100 hours into the game myself, so you have any questions, I’ll be happy to try and answer them!

Adding a bunch of items since my last post! I have 90+ confirmed trades. Also, fair warning, these lists are long, I have a lot of stuff for trade! Looking to do fair value but where I have an item that is worn / in poor shape I value that lower than eBay averages due to condition. Also bolded items are hard trades and I usually only trade limited print Switch games for other limited print Switch games (with some exceptions). p.s. "CIB" means complete, as in including all the booklets and such that were supposed to come in there, otherwise I will clarify what is included. "NIB" means New In Box, aka sealed, "brand new," in the shrink, etc. p.p.s. If we are going to trade, all I ask is please be honest about the condition of your items. I can provide pictures for anything I have, please be willing to do the same! Thanks!

I'm happy to look at lists, but these are my priority wants.
Build of the Week: PvP - Classic's Flexible Double Oracle into +2 CIA
We're back :) Getting back into things with school has been rough. I don't want to say I'll never have any more hiccups in consistency going forward, however I don't want to miss an entire month like I did this month. I apologize for the slight absence. As always, I've partnered back up with TeamLiquid.net, Overwolf, and Spawning Tool to feature the Build of the Week with their Build Order Advisor to help make it easier for you all to learn these builds! This has no effect on how you as a reader of /allthingsprotoss will consume these builds, I'll be making no changes to anything here on reddit. It's solely a partnership to bring the BotW to other sites and give people an opportunity to practice better with the enhancements that the Build Order Advisor give you. So try it out, it puts an overlay of the build you're doing on your main monitor so that you can follow along in real time! Also be sure to check out AFKTea for some wonderful options to keep yourself going while you practice these builds! They have been kind enough to support me and my work and if you use the code GEMINI you can get 15% off your purchase and a portion of the proceeds goes over to me :) I'm very appreciative of them being so supportive. Intro Part of what also was taking so long to get me to write a new guide was the lack of inspiring builds happening in the pro scene. PvP became quite stale and it was just a flurry of the same two or three one-base pressure builds that I had already written guides on or didn't allow the games to go long enough for me to write anything substantial about. Luckily for us, the GSL Super Tournament #2 finished this last weekend and had some excellent PvP series for a change. In honor of the victor himself, it would be a disservice not to feature another one of Classic's builds! Also having just signed with The Gosu Crew a few months ago, it's great to see him showing good results for them so quickly. Classic showcased some great PvP this tournament, including a reverse 4-0 against sOs in the finals, that all revolved around this one standard and flexible style that he used continuously. Of the two PvP series Classic played this tournament, he used this same opening six times. Three out of five games vs Creator and three out of seven games vs sOs. So without any further delay, I present to you: This week's build of the week: Flexible Double Oracle into +2 CIA Build of the Week Archives: Link (Be sure to read the whole write up instead of just the build notes before asking questions.) New to the game? How to read build order notes: Link Not sure how to effectively follow build orders as a lower leaguer? Read about how you should be using builds as guidelines: Link

Build Explanation This explanation is going to be cut up in a few parts. Due to the flexible nature of this build, which I'll get into shortly, I don't want to spend too long talking about the simple execution of the build. Since I have so many example games to go off of, I want to talk more about the decision making in the early parts of the build instead of, "This goes here, that goes there." With that said, there are some small nuances that are worth pointing out that have changed compared to PvP from a month or so ago. Just like normal, the build starts out with a two Gate opening into double gas. You'll want to spend a Chrono right when your Pylon finishes and also after your make your 2nd Gateway. Unless you're planning on doing some super early aggression, it has become pretty standard to always see players use that 2nd Chrono on their Nexus. Some players will do it even earlier than that (right when they have the 50 energy), however if they were getting cannon rushed then they wouldn't have that Chrono for the first Zealot. That's why I prefer to scout around my natural with the Probe that would make the 2nd Gateway first, make the 2nd Gateway, and then Chrono. This still gets your Probes out a bit faster without having any of the Chrono be wasted on an idle Nexus. There's also the issue sometimes where if you Chrono right at 50 energy, you'll either have to wait a second or two to put your Cyber down when the Gate finishes, or you'll need to cut Probes for a second while you get the Cyber down immediately. This alleviates that problem. Having done a 2nd Chrono, you'll be making a 22 Pylon instead of a 21 Pylon. Once the Cyber is finished, this build goes into a StalkeSentry opening. It is VERY important that you do a StalkeSentry opening with this build as the Hallucination scout that comes with it plays a critical role in why this build is so flexible and why Classic used it six times in two series in the same tournament. Before we get to that, I'll first note that in the past if a player was planning on doing a macro opener in PvP, they would make their 3rd Pylon on the low ground so that they could easily put down a Shield Battery to defend the Nexus if they were being attacked. Recently, with the rise in popularity of 6 Adept openers and the stark increase of various iterations of the 3Gate Warp Prism all-in, it has been quite difficult to safely take an expansion with a low ground Pylon. As a result, almost every Protoss has been making their 3rd Pylon in their main base now instead of at the natural. Until Zest debuted the 6 Adept opening (which featured the 3rd Pylon in his main base) no one else was doing this. Even once 6 Adept came out, the only times you'd see this was when someone was using a 6 Adept opening. Since that build has so much potential to get into the main (it can still bust down a Pylon/Battery that's made to block the gap) and because the Adept user could simply shade on top of the units in your natural, it has become more reliable to defend the 6 Adept pressure with a Shield Battery at the top of your ramp instead of trying to stay in your natural the whole time. Coincidentally, this is also the more effective method to defend the early 3Gate Prism all-ins. You won't have an exposed Pylon at the natural, your Battery will be on the high ground, and you don't need to risk staying on the low ground to be supported by the early Battery. Instead of killing yourself by trying to save the structures on the low ground, you can just cancel the Nexus and have everything be safe inside your main. Since we are still opening with a Stargate, there remains a vulnerability to very early all-ins like 4Gates and whatnot. You can't be too greedy with your Nexus like some previous Stargate builds I've made guides on. The safest way to play this style nowadays is to delay your Nexus until after you have started your Stargate and your extra Stalkers after the initial StalkeSentry. Classic executes his build in a little bit more lean fashion by only making one extra Stalker before the Stargate and Nexus, and then getting the third Stalker once the second one finishes. He essentially gets a slightly faster Stargate at the cost of a very slightly delayed third Stalker (you can't make two Stalkers together at once after the StalkeSentry finishes anyway). This is still relatively safe since he always puts a blind Battery on the high ground anyway. If you want to be SUPER safe about it, you can get both the second and third Stalker before expanding. Once the third Stalker and Battery are in production, you can resume Probes again, Chrono out your first Oracle when the Stargate finishes, and get your 36 Pylon (which also still stays in the main by the way. Pros aren't making a Pylon at their natural until their 58 Pylon usually). The 36 Pylon can either be used to reinforce the Gateways at the front so that you don't have an Artosis Pylon vs early all-ins or it can be spread out along your main base for some extra vision. Now that our early Nexus is (hopefully) nice and secure and our tech choice is on it's way to fruition, it's time to look at the most important part of this entire build: The Hallucination scout. To Phoenix or not to Phoenix? That is the real question when it comes to Oracle openers in PvP. The reason why I haven't done an Oracle opener BotW before this one was because they can be a pretty big gamble gamble. If you open Oracle and your opponent opens Phoenix, the game can sometimes end right there in astonishing fashion leaving you with no other option but to ask yourself, "Well...should I go Phoenix anyway? I kinda need them to not die to my opponent's Phoenix..." The way that Classic goes about this particular Oracle opener though makes this scenario not as foreboding. In all six of the games that Classic used this opener in this tournament, all six of them showed him starting a Phoenix in production after his first Oracle finished. This very conveniently times up with hallucinated Phoenix that is sent out at 3:33, as it will scout the enemy Protoss base before your building Phoenix is completed. This allows you to then make a decision to either complete or cancel the Phoenix based on whether or not your opponent has also made a Stargate. If you scout and see that your opponent did not make a Stargate, cancel the Phoenix and make a second Oracle. If you scout and see your opponent did make a Stargate, let the Phoenix finish. You'll still be going into this build in hopes of seeing a non-Stargate opener since that leaves you in a better situation. You want to be able to make two Oracles because two Oracles has the chance of either ending the game or dealing catastrophic early game damage. Even if an opponent is somewhat well prepared with a Battery in their mineral line and some Stalkers, a two Oracle hit squad can lay waste to half a Probe line or more if microed properly. Unlike in PvZ where your early Oracle isn't meant to do much more than scout what's going on, these Oracles are meant to do a good amount of damage. It is definitely worth putting a decent amount of focus on being sure that these Oracles can get some Probe kills; even to the extent of sacrificing them if it means you're going to get an extra 5-6 kills off of them. However, that is still only advised for certain scenarios (Classic does it once vs Creator to get multiple Sentries and multiple Probes) as you should still put a lot of focus on keeping them alive for Revelation or return harassments. It's better to kill four Probes and escape with both Oracles so that you have the potential to do more damage a little bit later. But then there's the situation where your hallucinated Phoenix sees that the opponent also opened Stargate. What do you do in this situation? As I alluded to earlier, it's kind of difficult to begin Phoenix production only after scouting that your opponent went Phoenix first. That's why Classic starts the Phoenix immediately after the Oracle finishes. Will you be in the perfect spot against someone who already opened Phoenix first? No. Will you be in a much more manageable position with room to maneuver? Absolutely. This move isn't meant to make it so that you magically win vs Phoenix first openers, it's just a clever way to make the best out of a potentially bad scenario. You'll still end up down a Phoenix, but it's something that you can work with. Generally, not many players have been opening Sentry first into Phoenix so they won't have that early hallucination scout to check your Stargate. This means you could end up in a situation with the faster intel, allowing you to react to the Phoenix vs Phoenix situation quicker (Click for a guide on Phoenix vs Phoenix if you need a refresher). It also means that the opponent will eventually have to scout you with their Phoenix, which gives you the opportunity to use defenders advantage in the form of engaging them while unsuspected and above a Shield Battery, and also your newest Phoenix will be spawning directly into the engagement instead of having to be rallied across the map. In addition to letting your Phoenix finish production, you also have to decide what you want to do with that first Oracle you made. Luckily for us, game four of Classic vs Creator is the perfect example of the two options that you get to choose from. Both players opened for an Oracle first build but did so ever so slightly differently. Creator decided to send his first Oracle across the map and suicide it for as many kills as possible upon seeing that Classic had also gone for a Stargate. Since he didn't open with Sentry first, he wasn't aware of this until his Oracle was in Classic's base. Creator was able to kill four Probes with the Oracle, which is pretty decent this early in the game. What Classic decided to do instead was a bit different. Since he has the faster intel on the Stargate vs Stargate match-up due to the early hallucination scout, he keeps the first Oracle back and instead uses it slightly later with a small frontal poke to net himself eight kills. In game one vs Creator it was another Stargate vs Stargate match-up and Classic also kept the Oracle back that game and sent it around a bit later to get four Probe kills. If he had sent it right away it would have simply died to the Phoenixes. Since there's no real timing to when this Oracle could be sent, it catches your opponent off guard as they won't expect an Oracle to come in at that time, or sometimes they won't even realize that an Oracle was made at all. This could lead to you gaining a significant Probe advantage at a time early enough to propel your Phoenix production and catch up to or surpass your opponent's Phoenix production. If you want you can also try what Classic did in game one which is stop at that one Phoenix to make it look like you'll commit to more, but then go straight into a Twilight Council and rush out Blink in hopes of catching them off guard. This is particularly done when Classic notices there was no Oracle built first. If you can tell the opponent opened for only Phoenix (when you scout with your hallucination you should see at least one Phoenix finished already) then it's better not to commit to any more than one of your own. Since Creator bungled his attack early on in that game, Classic was able to eventually win with that style as he went into the standard PvP convergence point that he also used in many of his other PvPs this tournament. The +2 CIA PvP Convergence Point I've mentioned this convergence point in some of my previous PvP BotWs but I've never fully explained it or broken it down in detail before. For those of you who are unaware of what a convergence point is, it's a point in the game where you are converging towards with your opening build. No matter what style you opened with or how the game started, you can transition to this convergence point to go into the mid-game. For PvP the convergence point is to reach a +2 Immortal/Chargelot/Archon composition. To do this you can basically break down an entire PvP match into different phases. Since you can do this off of any opener, the exact timings will vary, but so long as you follow the phases you will end up in the right place. That's the beauty of a convergence point. The phases of PvP essentially boil down to the following:
Phase 1: 2Gate Expand + Tech
This is where the most variation is happening. You're picking what you want to do and you're unsure of what is going to happen afterwards. This is O.K. Like I said just before, the magic of a convergence point is that you can do it after essentially any opening.
Phase 2: Respond to their tech/Get Forge ASAP/Robo and Immortals
This is the preliminary phase of the convergence point. At this part of PvP you'll have scouted or been attacked by their tech choice and you'll have had to make some sort of response. Once you make that immediate response (whether it be canceling the Phoenix in this build, or chronoing an observer in a Robo vs DT opener etc.) you then need to drop your Forge immediately upon seeing that the game will enter a macro state. The earlier you have your Forge the faster you can start your upgrades which means the larger the timing window you'll have to abuse your upgrade advantage. Upgrades are much more important in mirror match-ups since you're both fighting with the same units. You also should make a Robo as soon as money allows (in this build it goes down before the Forge to be safe vs Blink openers. If you scout no Blink then you can feel free to get the Forge before the Robo) and start going into Immortal production.
Phase 3: The Convergence Point: Pause Probes @2 base saturation/4-6x Gate/Twilight Council into Templar Archives and +2
The convergence point has a lot of things that are all happening at once, but once you remember what all those things are it becomes very easy. Everything that's going on in Phase 2 is working up to Phase 3 as you should be making Probes constantly to get to two base saturation as quickly as you can. Once you're there, you stop Probing so that you can afford to get a Gateway explosion of four or six (depending on how aggressive/safe you want to be), you make a Twilight Council that lines up with +1 finishing (usually when +1 is ~70% done), and then you go into your Templar Archives and +2 right when the Twilight finishes. This gets you all the production you'll need to either do a large attack, or defend a large attack, with the right set of units and a fast enough upgrade.
Phase 4: 3rd Base/Get up to 8x Gate/Push with +2 or defend their push
The convergence point 2: electric boogaloo is basically to take your third Nexus and go up to eight Gates if you have't already. There's two variations where you can go up to six Gates on two bases, then expand, then make the extra two or you can just go up to eight on two bases and then expand. Classic, Creator, and sOs all seemed to favor going up to eight on two bases this tournament but in the past it was common to see the other variant. In the end, it doesn't really matter all that much since if you're going to do the +2 timing you're not actually probing this third base. It's just there as a back up plan and to fake that you're playing macro. There's some situations where your push won't be able to kill them, but can either kill their third or scare them into cutting Probes. In which case you then still have the third of your own to saturate and get ahead. Regardless though, I can guarantee in all of your games that if you nail this +2 timing, you will win the vast majority of your PvPs. It is extremely strong and most lower league players don't even know that it exists so you'll catch players just trying to macro on three bases with barely any units. It also leaves you with a very well rounded and bulky army to defend with in case you're playing someone who is attacking earlier than you. If you don't want to do that then you can just play macro and enjoy the cotton ball stalemate if you want. For anyone that's curious, I also made a comment detailing why exactly +2 makes such a big difference in PvP fights. All of this considered, Classic has shown us why opening Stargate in PvP is generally considered the safest option. With some small tweaks to how the early game is played in coordination with the first hallucination scout, we get an extremely flexible and safe build that also has the potential to deal crippling damage.

Cross-Post: This is a cross post from Breath_of_the_Wild. I know not everyone may frequent both sub's, so I thought I would post this here as well in order for everyone to have the opportunity to take advantage of the information below.
Purpose of this Guide: This guide aims to be a compendium of information about how to stock up and get ready for the scale of this game. There is simply so much to explore that if you are not prepared before heading off into a random direction, you may not survive or be able to reach where you are going. The information below helps the up and coming adventurer gear up and become ready for anything (without having to spoil too much of the game). This is something I wish I could have found when I first stepped foot off the Plateau, so hopefully it'll help some of you out. That being said, even a seasoned adventurer may find use in some of the insights below (especially farming techniques) so don't think there isn't something for everyone here!
SPOILER WARNING This guide covers certain areas within the game you will need to visit, and a few minor side quest spoilers. Please read at your own risk, but I promise this post will have no major storyline spoilers. Call me out if it does and I'll edit the post immediately.
NOTE: This post also assumes you have made it off the Plateau and are ready to explore the world. If you are still on the Plateau please stop reading now.
Step 1: Get Some Wheels
Find A Horse & Register it at a Stable Horses allow you to speedily make your way through the world during the time where you can't Fast Travel from location to location. The first thing you should do before trying to find said Fast Travel locations is tame a horse. Horses can be found out in the wild, normally grassy plains areas, and can be tamed by sneaking up on them and mounting them. Once you have mounted a horse, you will need to rapidly tap the "soothe" button until little red hearts appear around the horses head. This means the horse has stopped trying to buck you off. Taming a horse takes stamina, so be sure to have a full bar or something to refill you stamina on hand. Normal horses will take less than a single circle of stamina to tame. More exotic horses will take much more. Once you can successfully steer the horse, continue to "soothe" it as you bring it to a nearby stable. Once near a stable, Z-Target the stable owner and choose to talk to them. Ask them to register your horse for a price of 20 Rupee's. Once registered, horses can be taken or stored from any stable across the land. Use this to Fast Travel and retrieve your horse in a completely different location.
You can feed your horse things such as apples or carrots to improve your "relationship" with them after you have registered them. From what I can tell one apple or one carrot will add 10 to the meter you can see when choosing which horse to take from the stable. It's a quick way to instantly max out the relationship status so you don't have to deal with it disobeying during your travels. Feeding them Endura Carrots can also give them an extra one time use spur when galloping. I managed to get three extra spurs on one horse for a total of six. These extra ones disappear as soon as they are used though so use them wisely. A special thanks to user u/Leshiarelaohk for his insight into feeding horses!
Also, you can customize your horse's look (mane, tail, bridle, and saddle) by talking to the NPC tending the stabled horses at any stable. NOTE: the bond with your horse must be high. Credit to u/Nick_0f_Time for his original post found HERE.
For those interested, the horse with the highest stamina in the game can be found extremely close to the Plateau. This would be an ideal starter horse while you are trying to uncover more portions of your map. To find this horse, make your way off the Plateau North West of Hopper Pond and take the pathway west. When the path splits, take the right path which will lead you to the Outskirt Stable. Once there, talk to an old man outside the stable mumbling about a white horse. He will give you a side quest to find and tame said horse. The horse can be located just north west of the stable on Safula Hill. A Gif of the location can be found HERE. Look for an all-white horse near the run down structure to the north portion of Safula Hill. It will take more than a single circle to tame this horse, so bring something that restores stamina. I suggest a cooked Staminoka Bass easily found in the lake next to riverside stable. Or if you are just coming from the Plateau, try cooking a Staminilla Mushroom with other mushrooms. The more stamina refilling ingredients in the dish, the more stamina the cooked dish will restore.
The White Horse has the following stats:

Having MAX stamina on your first horse is clutch. Just food for thought.
Step 2: Find Your Way
Complete the World Map In order to efficiently use this guide, you will need be able to find where you need to go. The best way to do this is to complete the game's world map. You do so by visiting the Towers in each "blacked out" portion of your map. The beauty of this game is that you can do ALL THE THINGS as soon as you make it off the Plateau, you just have to be brave enough. (Or quick enough to run past encounters and B-line it to a tower) Personally, the first thing I did was mark all of the towers on my map that I could see from on top of the Plateau, then paraglided/ran/climbed to said towers, and then looked for more. Rinse and repeat until the entire map is completed. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO. Having a completed map just makes it easier to fast travel to different locations, and enables you to easily identify locations in this guide by name when looking at your in game map.
If you DO NOT wish to complete your map, the towers and locations you will NEED to visit for this guide are: This is where you will find the Wasteland Tower. It is located South West of the Great Plateau.
Expand Your Inventory So You Can Hold More Weapons / Bows / Shields Since you have already expanded your world a little bit, you have most likely run across a large Korok named Hestu. Hestu is the NPC that will take the Korok seeds you have been collecting/discovering throughout the game. He will trade you more inventory slots in exchange for Korok Seeds. You will need a larger inventory space if you want to start your adventuring with items already in hand. If you usually head out with just a pot lid, you can skip this part.
Hestu can first be found on the pathway leading to Kakariko Village. You should organically run into him on your way to discovering Kakariko Village. He will move from here after you have upgraded your inventory twice.
Second
Next to Riverside Stable (Between Whistling Hill and Batrea Lake)
Hestu will be found just outside the area of the Riverside Stable. He will move from this location after you have upgraded your inventory another 5ish times.
Third
Korok Forest north of Hyrule Castle & through the Lost Woods
This will be the final resting place of Hestu. You can upgrade your inventory with him as long as you continue to find Korok Seeds.
To completely upgrade your inventory, you will only need 441/900 possible Korok Seeds. If you have already used Hestu, you will know he requires more Korok Seeds for each additional inventory slot upgrade. See the cost breakdown below:

Step 4: Become Top Chef
Finding / Farming “Must Have” Food Ingredients & Cooking the Best Dishes Food is extremely important in this game. And you can use/consume just about anything you find to heal or get some sort of buff. However, I believe the right ingredients & best recipes are THE most important part of using consumables in Breath of the Wild.
Before I get into detailed theory and explanations, you first need to know some basics about consumables, cooking, and inventory management.
Consumables found in the wild will re-grow / re-spawn.
If an item grows out of the ground or off of a tree, it can re-grow after a certain period of in-game time. This time can, and usually is, shorter than the next Blood Moon.
Example: Apples on trees
If an item doesn't "grow" and isn't strictly found inside a treasure chest, it will re-spawn after a Blood Moon.
Example: Ore deposits
Adding more of an item into a dish adds more of the buff that item yields.
Example: a dish of 1 apple restores less hearts than a dish of 5 apples
Cooking any dish that uses an "overfill" ingredient automatically fully restores your base stamina/heart values.
Example: By using an ingredient where the informational text indicates it will provide a temporary "yellow" heart, a dish of just that ingredient will fill all of your red hearts first before giving you the temporary heart. It doesn't matter if you have 3 red hearts or 20, that dish made up of just 1 ingredient will refill ALL of your red hearts. Same goes for stamina.
You have a limited number of inventory spaces for cooked items that can never be expanded.
You are allotted 3.5 pages of cooked dishes in your inventory, credit to u/Cyndikate
Dishes you cook in the pot each take up a single inventory space.
This is important for managing inventory space.
Items you cook over an open flame stack in your inventory.
(only take up a single inventory space no matter how many you make/pick up)
Items cooked over an open flame heal less than their “dish” counterpart and do not provide buffs
Example: A cooked pepper (or a pepper as part of a dish) heals and adds a cold resist buff, whereas a scorched pepper cooked over an open flame only heals less and provides no buff.
Items cooked over an open flame can over-cook and disappear.
Example: You can drop an apple on a fire and it will catch flame and change into a toasted apple. If that same apple is left on the fire it will catch flame again and eventually disappear.
You can sort cooked food by type and level of buff/restore in your inventory.
By pressing “Y” (on the switch) you can sort each of your inventory types. For food, this will arrange by buff type first and by power second.
Below are my personal Core Values when it comes to consumables in this Game. Each value is followed by my justification / theory behind it. Please feel free to adopt them. Or don't. It won't hurt my feelings at all. Really.
All of the ingredients I use should be easy to gather & plentiful.
If an item is rare to find, why the hell would I used it in a regular elixir to restore 5ish hearts? The hoarder in me knows someday, for some reason, I'm going to need that one special ingredient. So instead of wasting potentially valuable items, why not use what princess nature so abundantly provides? Why waste specialized mushrooms or animal parts to make a stamina elixir when I can just cook a single Staminoka Bass and it will restore a full circle of stamina? There is always something that is the best at what it does and can be found frequently in the wild.
Everything I cook should be medium to high level, or it should fully maximize the potential gains.
Remember that one time you spotted a tower at the top of a mountain, made it all the way to the top, and realized it was too cold to stay there and finish activating the tower? Me too. It was on that day that I swore NEVER to die from the cold again. Until that other time where I DID have a cold resist dish, but it was low level and I STILL died of cold because I went even higher into the snowy region this time. On THAT day I swore to only carry medium to high level dishes/elixirs. If the dish I create can't handle ALL of the possible scenarios I will need the buff/resist for, then why waste the ingredients? If I simply added a little more of the same ingredient I could have survived that fateful night on the snowy mountaintop. Low level dishes are for low level risk. Be willing to take the big risks adventurer.
Stamina is Stamina and Hearts are Hearts. Don't mix gains within the same dish.
Specialize with your recipes, don't just throw things in and have a portion of your dish that doesn't matter. Say you've been upgrading only your stamina at the beginning of the game. You now have 2 full stamina circles but still only have 3 hearts. So now you want to make sure you can refill that big stamina meter, so you add more things to your dishes. What you end up with is something that refills two stamina circles and restores 15 hearts. That's a lot of wasted healing on your 3 heart self. Why not just use stamina ingredients and make stamina dishes and cook some apples to make dishes that refill up to 3 hearts? Waste not my brave adventurer. Keeping your heart refilling recipes focused on hearts and your stamina replenishing recipes focused on stamina.
Prioritize "overfill" healing rather than "x" number of refilled hearts.
Remember the cooking tidbit above about items that overfill either hearts or stamina inherently having the ability to completely restore all of your base stamina or hearts? Use this to you advantage. Cook a single overfill item and you have a full-restore dish. Use this instead of cooking 5 ingredients and still not refilling your entire health. Waste not my brave adventurer.
Have one of every buff type on hand at all times, but only cook particular buffs when I know I'll need them.
Remember the story of my icy death earlier. If I had been prepared, that wouldn't have happened. Always be prepared. (Insert Boy/Girl Scout joke here) Nothing is worse than setting your sights on some treasure chest or mountain you want to climb that is NO WHERE NEAR a shrine, only to realize you won't survive within 100 yards without a certain resist or buff. Always having a medium to high dish for each of the resist and buff types allows you to have complete freedom of exploration. That being said, don't go crazy and carry 10 cold resist dishes. Remember, you only have a certain number of inventory slots for dishes. In all likelihood the 7-10 minutes of resist from the one dish you always carry on you is enough to get you where you need to go, or give you enough time to escape from where you've already been. The only caveat to this point is that if you know you're going to spend the afternoon on the snowy mountain tops, you may want to prep a little bit more for cold resist. Make a few extra and head on your way.
BEST INGREDIENT FARMING RUNS The top three ingredients/recipes/dishes/buffs that everyone wants to farm are:
Basic Healing Items - things to restore your red hearts
Overfill Healing Items - things to add yellow hearts to your health
Stamina Refilling Items - things to refill your stamina when it's low
Below are the easiest / fastest / most rewarding farming methods to accomplish the three items above:
Basic Healing Items
Raw Prime Meat Farming (Deer Hunt Mini-game) - Raw Prime Meat can be cooked over an open flame to create Seared Prime Steak, which heals for 2 1/4 red hearts. These items also stack in your inventory and only take up one slot. You can farm 5-10 of these per minute utilizing the Deer Hunt Mini-game in Hateno Village.
Hearty Durian Farming (+20 Yellow Hearts) - x5 Hearty Durians can be cooked in a pot to create Hearty Simmered Fruit, which fully restores your red hearts and provides an extra 20 yellow hearts. These items are found right next to the Faron tower and can be easily farmed every 5-6 in game days. You can farm 5-15 of these per run.
Staminoka Bass Farming (Full Wheel Stamina Refill with Each Fish) - a single Staminoka Bass can be cooked in a pot to create an Energizing Fish Skewer, which fully restores an entire stamina wheel. These can be abundantly found in the river next to the Riverside Stable and have an incredibly quick respawn rate. You can farm 20+ of these in a 5-10 minute farming run.
This item is one of the highest healing items that can be cooked over an open flame. The benefit to cooking over an open flame is that this item will stack and only take up a single inventory slot.
The lists above will continue to expand as I explore the game. If you have anything you think would be a good addition to the tables above, comment below and I will incorporate them.
Step 5: Stock Up on Ammo
Farming Unlimited Regular Arrows Starting out in this game, arrows are hard to come by. You usually pick up 3-5 every time you bait a bow wielding enemy. I'm here to help you alleviate that pain. If you follow the directions below, you can farm 200 regular arrows every 10 minutes. This farm can be done as long as you want, so if you want 10,000 arrows there's nothing stopping you from being THAT guy. If you exit Kakariko Village via the Western exit (GIF of the location) it will take you to the Sahasra Slope. In this open field you will ALWAYS run into two horse riding enemies. These enemies will continuously circle you and fire arrows. The key point here is that these arrows can ALWAYS be picked up off the ground. The combination of their low grade bows, the soft grass, and the distance that they circle you allows their arrows to hit the ground, not break, and become available to be picked up. The farming method here is to simply walk (DO NOT SPRINT. Sprinting causes you to get hit more often or have the enemies back away and stop firing.) in a circle from arrow to arrow as they hit the ground. You can pick them up as they fall for an infinite amount of time.
THE YIELD FOR THIS FARMING METHOD IS 200 ARROWS EVERY 10 MINUTES.
NOTE - This method may not work on the Wii U. The Wii U may have a hard cap to the number of arrows any enemy can put into the world to be picked up. There have been conflicting reports on this subject, but I say try it out and see if it works for you!
DESCRIPTION: Head North West to the Hebra Tower and make your way West to Pondo's Lodge. Once there, you can speak to Pando and pay 20 Rupees to play his Bowling Mini-game. If you know where to drop to ball, strikes are super easy. A strike nets you +300 Rupees. This is the most popular Rupee farming method out there. The only drawback is that it requires you to have 2 cold resist items to survive the area.
DESCRIPTION: Head South East to the Lurelin Village (Yah Rin Shrine for Fast Travel) and find a hut with Cloyne sitting in it. This is the gambling house. Here you can bet 100 Rupees for a 1/3 chance at getting 300 Rupees. The trick here is to save before each time you bet, and if you don't find the 300 reload your save.
DESCRIPTION: This method requires either max Stamina or the climber set +2 to be truly fast & efficient. Head North East to the Gorae Torr Shrine. Here you can do the Gut Check Challenge Mini-game to climb the side of the mountain and collect Rupees on the way up. If you follow the path outlined in the links below, you can easily get 700 Rupees per run. Each run takes about 2.5 minutes.
DESCRIPTION: This method requires a lot of arrows and a few decent bows, so there's a trade off on items for money. Head East to Hateno Village (Ancient Tech Lab for Fast Travel). Find Dantz at the farm at the top of the village and start the Deer Hunt Mini-game. Here you can farm 5-10 Raw Prime Meats per minute. 5 of these meats can be cooked to create a dish that sells for 210 Rupees.
Buy a House to Store Items, Rest in a Free Bed, and Always Have a Lit Cooking Stove In Hateno Village, there is an abandoned house that is being demolished when you first find it. If you make your way through a series of tasks (mostly paying people to do things) you can acquire this house and use it to hold weapons, bows, and shields. There is also a free bed inside you can rest at, and an always lit cooking pot outside. This is a great investment early on in the game.
How to Buy the House:
Find the house. It is located South of the center of Hateno Village. See this image for a more precise location.
Go around back and find the NPC Bolson. He will be the guy in pink.
NOTE: Sometimes Bolson has moved from this initial location if you have started another side quest. He can be found in Tarry Town. Complete the side quest that brought him there and he'll come back to Hateno Village.
Pay Bolson 3,000 Rupees and 30 bundles of wood.
YOU OWN AN EMPTY HOUSE!
Upgrade your house by paying Bolson 100 Rupees per upgrade. You can upgrade your house with the following:
Two extra Weapon Mounts
Three Bow Mounts
Three Shield Mounts
Bed Installation
Lighting Installations
Door Installation
A Sign with Link's Name
A Flowerbed
Trees
The cost for everything listed above combined is 1,400 Rupees.
Use your new found abode to store rare items you find in game by placing them on the displays inside. Anything simply dropped on the floor of your house will eventually disappear. That being said, this is still a great base of operations where you can cook, sleep, and store your most precious belongings.
Step 8: Gear Up
Finding / Farming Easily Obtainable Yet Strong Weapons All weapons that aren't from a treasure chest will respawn after a Blood Moon. Knowing where a couple of these respawning weapons are located can help you gear up fast. Below is a list of the best weapons you can easily farm every Blood Moon:
BEST OF CLASS: Thank you u/Aceftw for your find of the "Ali Babas Cave". This is your one stop shop for a bow, shield, spear, duel handed sword, and single handed sword.
x3 Chests with x5 Bomb Arrows & 300 Rupees / Radiant Shield / Gerudo Spear / Golden Bow / Edge of Duality / Moonlight Scimitar
Fast Travel to the Gerudo Tower Paraglide to the top of the mountain directly North of the tower. Turn left and head West. You should see a cave entrance with maybe a small bolder in front of it. Go in the cave and profit!
ALL THE REST:

Great Thunderblade
Fast Travel to the Tabantha Tower. Once there, paraglide and climb to the top of the mountain directly North West of the tower (Cuho Mountain).
Great Flameblade
Fast Travel to the Central Tower. Once there, paraglide directly West to the lake North of Mount Daphnes. Cross the bridge to get to the big dead tree in the middle of the lake and fight the enemy.
Iron Sledgehammer
There are two of these leaning against the left side of the house you can buy in Hateno Village.
Guardian Sword
Fast Travel to the Kaam Ya'tak shrine in Central Hyrule just north of the Plateau and West of Windvane Meadow. Go into the shrine and defeat the EASY Guardians within and they drop multiple Guardian Swords.

Dragonbone Moblin Club
Fast Travel to the Lake Tower and paraglide down to the base of the tower. You should see a little patch of grass with a large apple tree nearby. There is a Moblin here that drops this item.
Golden Claymore
Fast Travel to the Mogg Latan Shrine, directly West of the central tower near Satori Mountain. Head a little bit South East of the shrine until you come across a large skeleton on the ground. Use the Magnesis rune to get this item out of the skeleton.
Torch
Fast Travel to the Ancient Tech Lab in Hateno Village. Walk inside the front door and one of these should be leaning against a shelf to your immediate left.
This particular list will continue to grow and become more precise the longer this post lives. Comment below on anything else you would like added to the list and I'll put them in for everyone else to see.
BONUS: Adventure Pro Tips
A Compendium of PSA's to Become a Better Adventurer Below is a list of PSA's and General Tips to maximize your quality of life in Breath of the Wild:
If you don't already have your complete map unlocked, you can use the online version found HERE made & maintained by IGN
You can trade the heart containers for stamina containers and stamina containers for heart containers. See u/yust's post about it HERE. The shrine to do this is located southwest of Hateno Village. Specifically HERE (picture coming soon).
How to ensure you have completed and found all of the treasure in a shrine:
A shrine will become completely blue if you have claimed the Spirit Orb within. (Usually starts with a little bit of yellow on both the physical shrine and the shrine's icon on your map once you have discovered and activated a shrine)
When you select a shrine on you map, if a small treasure chest icon appears to the right of a shrine's name you have found all of the treasure chests / loot within said shrine.
You can drop bombs while paragliding. Activate the bomb rune, and enjoy carpet bombing enemies!
Take rust off of weapons by throwing them into the mouth of a Rock Octorok. The Octorok will spit out the rust free version of the weapon. Credit to u/panqakee's original post found HERE.
The Blood Moon will respawn all Guardians inside shrines. Use this knowledge to farm harder to find Ancient Materials or Guardian Weapons.
If an enemy shoots and arrow at your wooden shield, it will stick to your shield. Stow your shield to add those arrows to your inventory.
If you find a pinwheel in the world, this is a Korok mini-game. Find something to stand on, or stand in the right position and balloons you need to shoot will appear.
You can use a picture from your compendium in combination with your Sheikah Slate's upgraded sensor to find harder to find items such as: treasure chests, certain types of fish, rare but powerful ingredients, etc.
Aim your bow in air to slow down time and aim precisely. Similar to VATS without all the detail.
You can reflect Guardian blasts with ANY shield as long as you time the swinging of your shield correctly. (Yes, even a pot lid will work. See: the legendary Pot Lid Larry)
Bonus stats from dishes or elixirs do not stack. EXAMPLE: you can't use two 1 minute cold resist elixirs to get 2 minutes of cold resistance. The same goes for multiple types of stat bonuses. You only keep the stats bonus of the last consumed dish/elixir.
Don't use axes or other weapons to chop down trees, use your bombs. One bomb = Tree down. Second bomb = collectable wood. Really, just use bombs for all things that need to be destroyed. (ore deposits [not if they are on a mountain side since the resulting items will most certainly fall], fish, crates/barrels, metal containers, the courage of your enemies, etc.)
You can Travel mid combat/falling/paragliding. At any moment, you can Fast Travel out of a situation. Use this to get out of encounters you are not equipped to deal with.
If you tip over one of the broken down ancient guardians, there are ancient parts underneath. Credit to u/youhoe for his original post found HERE.
The Stasis Tool can also be used to highlight collectables in your general vicinity. While farming have it active to see interactable objects in a bright yellow glow. You must temporarily turn it off to collect the items.
You can catch fairies and keep them in your inventory. They will resurrect you if you die, as they did in previous games. You can catch them around the Great Fairy fountains. New fairies in the wild will not spawn if you have 3 of more in your inventory. Therefore, you can have a total of 6 at a single time (2 already in your inventory and then discover 4 at once in the wild). Credit to PaztheSpaz for the clarification.
Don't waste your fire arrows unless you have to. Equip your bow and walk by a lit fire. The arrow tip lights. Use this to set off red barrels or light your target ablaze.
There are separate cooldown timers for the round and square bombs. Use this to your advantage, especially when you upgrade them. Throw a bomb, switch to the other type, throw it, switch, throw, switch... Credit to user u/zombiegamer723.
Brand new weapons have a small sparkle in the top right corner. This means the item is unused and is at full durability. Credit to user u/TogTogTogTog.
Arrows can be used as unlimited torches as well. They will go out after a short while but they wont burn up like a wooden weapon and u can just relight it. Keep the arrow notched and use your aim to light things on fire like leaves and other torches or stand next to ice to melt it. Credit to u/mcunderpants.
