so. i'm saving up for dottore. decided to post this to see how many more unfortunate individuals do as well. as of right now, I have almost 800 pulls. i'm not f2p, some of this comes from welkin, my main source of primos is The Grind
it's been almost a year since my last event banner pull btw, so i managed to save 800 pulls in a year
i didn't do much calculations beforehand, but i'm eager to count right now. i aim for c6r5, but for now, let's just count the c6 part. i need 7 copies of my beloved toothpaste-haired man. let's take 90 pulls as pity, even though it's practically impossible, i wanna see the worst case scenario. my last 5 star was this ANNOYING ASS CHILD, so the first doctor is guaranteed
i need 90, i have 15 already pulled, so 75. total pulls needed: 75 then, let's take the worst case scenario, where i lose every 50/50. c1: 90 (lost 50/50) + 90 (dottore) = 180 c2: 90 (lost 50/50) + 90 (dottore) = 180 c3: 90 (lost 50/50) + 90 (dottore) = 180 c4: 90 (dottore) - this is where capturing radiance steps in and we cannot lose 4 50/50s in a row. c5: 90 (lost 50/50) + 90 (dottore) = 180 c6: 90 (lost 50/50) + 90 (dottore) = 180 so. total pulls needed: 75 + 180 * 5 + 90 = 1065 pulls. of course, this is the worst situation possible, and I sincerely hope I'm not THAT unlucky. and then comes the weapon banner, bane of my existence and source of eternal suffering. we need 5 copies of his weapon. pity is at 80, and after every lost 50/50 we can get the weapon we needed, sooo let us count.
as you can see, i have no history of pulls, so we have a fresh start. r1: 80 (lost 50/50) + 80 (his weapon) = 160 r2: 80 (lost 50/50) + 80 (his weapon) = 160 r3: 80 (lost 50/50) + 80 (his weapon) = 160 r4: 80 (lost 50/50) + 80 (his weapon) = 160 r5: 80 (lost 50/50) + 80 (his weapon) = 160
so that brings us to... total pulls needed: 160 * 5 + 1065 = 1865 pulls and i am immensely short on pulls but will continue The Grind or he might never be released and die in some fuckass quest defeated by power of friendship
also i have no other sources of primos except for DUELIST WHICH I HATE WITH ALL MY SOUL (teapot, fishing, quests, map, character ascension are ALL SUCKED DRY)
well this aged so fucking poorly i think i'll just quit genshin atp
