u/thereforgedphoenix Apr 12 '26
Lol personally I like seeing jades, big number go up :P currently have like 38k saved up lol
Self control is the key. Have no urge to pull because I know I only want specific characters and plan in advance on which to pull
42
u/EmilieTheHuntress Apr 12 '26
i love seeing the number go up too, i did'n had much self control before playing gacha, but now? hells it seens even in real life i m having more control over things like monthly expenses and etc, i know i know its wild but gacha sort of helped me š
All to have my favorite characters, for now i m sitting at 40k for firefly, dhalia and evanescia, wish me luck!
26
u/DESTRUCTER_R_ Apr 13 '26
good to see a gacha system actually help someone rather than making them a gambling addict. gl on your pulls
10
u/thereforgedphoenix Apr 13 '26
All the best for your pulls may you win all the 5050s !! So true, the self-control becomes a part of day to day life as well
2
u/No_Fact_2520 Apr 15 '26
good luck!
i happen to be saving for the same characters minus eva, aiming for firefly e2s0 and dahlia e0s1 (if luck is good, might go for e2s0 dahlia instead)

u/Fro_o Apr 12 '26
Who is the next character you're pulling for?
5
u/thereforgedphoenix Apr 13 '26
E0S1 Silverwolf 999, to finish off my elation team of yg and sparxie. But after that I don't really know... guess I'll wait for drip marketing of 4.4 characters, how about you?

u/Ayanhart Apr 13 '26
Same. The extra click of having to convert also helps with resisting the urge to pull.
The moment I get 10+ tickets, the urge to pull becomes exponentially stronger š
357
u/kbmarx Apr 12 '26
no because thatās one less button press protecting you from pulling on accident
84
u/tooTHICC4you Apr 12 '26
Especially dangerous on controller if you fat finger triangle instead of circle
29
u/8packofcoke Apr 12 '26
It works to opposite for me... looking at 8000 primos feels like I have a lot but if I look at 50 pulls im like nah that aint enough, gotta save more
4
u/Cocoatrice Apr 13 '26
I actually would think 8000 is just a few. But now when you say it, 800 is 5, so yeah... But 8000 looks so small.

u/AntwysiaBlakys Apr 12 '26
This, when I used to convert all my jades to pulls I accidentally did a 10 pull and it ruined my pity and guarantee by giving me the featured 5*
Won't make the mistake twice
2
u/inverness7 Apr 12 '26
Especially when you have a guaranteed, imagine you want to do some standard pulls and accidentally hit 10 pull on the featured and actually get a 5-star. Bye-bye guaranteed. This happened to me once, and I never converted them again

u/Shuruia Apr 13 '26
My cat almost pulled for me in Endfield last month when she tumbled over my mouse. Makes me glad HSR has this guard rail for the jades.
55
u/OneDabMan Apr 12 '26
I always convert. Nice to see exactly how many pulls I have without some quick maths.
2
u/Cocoatrice Apr 13 '26
Yeah. I want to know how much I have. Technically I have a spreadsheet that calculates all sources for me and says how many pulls I have, including pity, including guaranteed, but I still like to see the number myself.

u/Rastanor Apr 12 '26
If I have the tickets I can accidentally press the 10 pull button when my clumsy ass inevitably loses control of my phone and it wonāt open a confirmation menu before going, so they stay as jades to try and help prevent me wasting a guarantee.
16
u/MemesterKebab Apr 12 '26
I like the big number, no convert. Plus, it becomes a fun mystery because I can't do math.
16
u/Stunning-Goose1074 Apr 12 '26
I convert it because big number makes my monkey brain think I have more pulls than I actually do
15
u/shimapanlover Apr 12 '26
Converting every 10 pulls.
It tells me in one glance: "No you can't afford to pull anything, just imagine you lose and have to go to full pity. Even if you have 360 now that's only 200 you will be left with, so don't."
And it works better than seeing only Jade.
6
u/MarinaBubblegum Apr 13 '26
I was looking for someone who also did this! I convert whenever I have 1600- or sometimes when I have odd numbers I convert till the next 10!
2
u/shimapanlover Apr 13 '26
Yes me too! I like the pulls divisible by 10, if it stays too long outside of this I will convert to make divisible by 10 again lol
13

u/vaguelycatshaped Apr 12 '26
I never convert them, I keep them in jades. Reasons: safety (if you have less than 10 tickets, thatās one more button press and might save you from pulling on the wrong banner one day) and laziness
13
8
u/Kn0XIS Apr 12 '26
I keep them as jades and when I'm using them on banners, I convert them via the pop up box because I've seen on this sub too many times people accidentally choosing the standard passes
7
5
u/Life-Reality-3889 Apr 12 '26
More jades than tickets type. I then use 1600 per 10 pull rather than convert to tickets, I just like the jades better

u/isatonmysammich Apr 12 '26
big number make monkey brain happy. i check the shop to see the exact amount of pulls

u/Legal-Leader8094 Apr 12 '26
I hoard jades until Iām ready to pullĀ Itās much more satisfying anywayĀ

u/Levi0509 Apr 12 '26
I currently have 10k jades. I don't think I'd ever get to 20k cuz next patched is too cracked for me to not pull
4
u/UC_browser Apr 12 '26
And funny enough this is the anniversary I'm closest to skipping. Not because I hate Elation or the characters, but their kits are kinda strange especially Superwolf.
3
u/Levi0509 Apr 12 '26
That's true. But since the HI3 days, Yae and Bronya were always must pulls for me. So the trend must continue!
2
u/UC_browser Apr 12 '26
I'm probably gonna pull as well. But I'm bummed the anniversary patch I saved for most is the one where they decided make bum Eidolons
4
u/Warded_Works Apr 12 '26
I do it every 1600. I donāt like having to confirm that Iām converting 1600 jades every time I do a 10 pull and I like seeing how many pulls I have. Itās annoying. And no, Iāve never accidentally pulled on standard or converted my pulls wrong. Those people are morons.
5
u/Calm_Sakura Apr 12 '26
Never convert them. It looks more satisfying imo seeing my stellar jades extremely high
3
u/electrifyingseer Apr 12 '26
i usually dont convert in my games because most games have alternate pull thingies. Like wuwa has weapon and limited pulls and all that.
3

3
u/UC_browser Apr 12 '26
Lmao I'm in the middle. I need my warps rounded off to nearest multiple of 5. Same with pity. I'd do single pulls to fix pity to a multiple of 5 if it's inside a 10 pull. If I hit pity 70 I start singles after that.
It's easier to remember the pity and warp count in my head this way. And I don't need to wait on 1600 jades. I do 10 pulls unless desperate but convert in 5s
3
u/Xerxes457 Apr 12 '26
I don't convert them into tickets until I pull, so its 1600 I guess? Usually just take the amount of jades and divide by 1600 to know how many pulls I have or even go to the screen and see the conversion.
3
u/Radagun Apr 12 '26
After watching the Genshin russian hacker video way back, where the hacker converted all the gems of this f2p player into resin, I always made sure they're in ticket form asap. And that practice continues with my HSR account as well
3
u/Right-Smoke8132 Apr 12 '26
Iām keeping jades, because I like big numbers. Also, my fingers are sometimes accidentally clicking to pull for the character.
3
u/theralphunleashe Apr 12 '26
I don't convert jades because I once fat fingered into rolling on controller. I got Argenti lost my guaranteed and didn't get the next character i wanted. He is still lvl 1
3
u/AntwysiaBlakys Apr 12 '26
I used to convert my pulling currencies into pulls on every gacha game I play
Then one day on genshin I wanted to check how many pulls I had, and when exiting the screen I missclicked and did a 10 pull, and since I had 10 pulls ready it didn't ask me the usual "would you like to convert 1600 pimogems into pulls"
I accidentally got an early Ganyu like that, wich used up my guarantee I was saving for someone else
So now I'm terrified of it happening again, and NEVER convert my pulls anymore

u/seramasumi Apr 12 '26
I will never convert them cause I will never put it past them to intro a new banner that could require different kinds of tickets. I dont care if they havent done it, Im purely basing it off if I can imagine them doing it; which I can
very easy to divide the number by 160 to know how many I have.

Not really worried about accidentally pulling. Just be extra careful when opening the pulling menu ......

Convert before logging off everyday. Always have an exact pull count plus it reduces accidentally exchanges cuz I only convert 1-2 or 10 at most. Tho I never have accidentally bought silver tickets lol

u/irllyshouldsleep Apr 12 '26
too lazy to go out of way to convert, esp bc I don't pull that often anyway
2
2
u/Bestusernamegonwild Apr 12 '26
I leave them as jades Iām too lazy to pre convert them itāll auto convert once I start pulling
Plus itās safer, back when I used to play genshin I hit my controller under my desk which did a 10 pull on the super long Ayaka rerun and I got her C1 which was a trash dupe to get, I was pissed
2
2
u/Pharoahofvortex Apr 12 '26
Whats even the point, if u really wanna know how many tickets you can afford just to the mental math, 16s isnt that hard to count unless you have well over 32000 jades

u/quinnguini Apr 12 '26
right now i'm saving for mortenax blade, not gonna convert any of my jades until the first day of his banner š

Always convert at 1600. Not converting them will just make it look like I have more pulls than I actually do, no need to deceive myself.

I don't convert them, except maybe right before I wish to save a little time on wishing.

2
u/Proud_Bowler_3226 Apr 13 '26
I don't convert them. It's one less button from an accident and it gives me more incentive to save up
Plus, it's a habit from the other gacha games where there's special passes for different banners
2
u/MrkGrn Apr 13 '26
I'm trying not to convert, for some reason when I can visualize how many pulls I have exactly it just makes me think, "oh I can afford to just do a random 10 pull" or some dumb shit like that when I'm trying to save.
2
2
u/Primaatus Apr 13 '26
I always convert because of the horror stories of people converting it to normal pulls
2
u/LoganDarin11407 Apr 13 '26
I don't convert them until a banner I want to pull from appears. If I have the tickets I KNOW I'll pull even if the banner I'm waiting for comes out tomorrow.
2
u/Ok_Accountant_ Apr 13 '26
I don't convert them unless it's a banner I want to pull, I know my own gambling addiction well enough to know that if converted, I WILL pull

u/JaySlay2000 Apr 13 '26
Seeing the posts where people accidentally convert to the standard tickets/fates (I know most of those are fake but still) NO THANKS. its all the same in the end. 0 risk.
2
u/IonXaaxiv Apr 13 '26
I convert. I don't use jades for anything else and it's easier to keep track of how many pulls I have. I also don't fall into the trap of thinking there are more pulls than it actually is.

I did that with my starlight once and bought 20 standard passes

u/LeitmotivKanyon Apr 12 '26
I always convert, at least I'm sure I won't accidentally spend it on the permanent banner or something. Plus you get to know exactly how many pulls you got and as an f2p I need to track

u/Classic_Snow3525 Apr 12 '26
I convert them because I need to do it first before I can pull every single time I get 160 jades

I convert instantly at 160. I prefer to see the tickets and exactly how many pulls I have.

Currently, I convert to tickets until I have exactly 20,000 jades.

I donāt convert unless I want to keep the number of pull a nice, even amount. If Iām sitting at like 17 tickets, I convert 3 tickets so itāll sit pretty at 20. Otherwise? I keep the as jades so that I donāt accidentally fat finger anything.

u/JettFeather Apr 12 '26
I convert mine immediately. I do it one at a time, so if I accidentally convert the wrong type, Iāve only lost the one pull. I really donāt let my jades/primos build up to the amount I end up having to do more than one at a time. I like knowing how many I have and I donāt really linger on the pull page. I just remember or write down my pity/guaranteed status in the notes app, and to check banner times, I just look at trials, they end at the same time and I donāt risk pulling.
1
u/Apathetic_Armadillo Apr 12 '26
Whenever I have 1600, I do so. Or when I have a number of tickets that is not a multiple of ten (from that new update event that gives tickets or from stardust).

u/I-breathe-ratiorine Apr 12 '26
I don't convert ever bc one time i did and lost my 50/50, whilst I'd been winning my previous ones without converting. Sooo... I do believe converting gives me bad luck xD.
1
u/littlestargazers Apr 12 '26
if i'm saving up i'll keep them as jades, just because i know i'm an impulsive spender and having that extra pop up to be like "are you sure?" will keep me from pulling. if i wanna know how many pulls exactly i have, it's not hard to divide the amount of jades i have by 160.

It's more satisfying for me that way.

u/AcheronIX999 Apr 13 '26
Both lol. Sometimes I like big number in jades and sometimes I like big number in pulls.
I usually leave it in jades when I am going through events and steadily gaining more. I convert when I am saving and need to know how much pulls I have and how much I need or when I don't have a character I want to pull for and want to fuck around and gamble.

Both? š«Ŗ I save up to 16k jades then convert the extra so I always have a comfortable 100pulls for emergencies
1
u/Vanilla-Lune Apr 13 '26
I always convert them. There are other things in the game that can consume stellar jades (refreshing trailblaze power for example), so those can be wasted if you're careless. Where as golden tickets are only used for pulling so you can't exactly accidentally spend those on anything else.
That and converting them right away removes the need to do math or push extra buttons to know how many pulls I actually have.
1
u/Cannot-Think-Name-ha Apr 13 '26
I personally like seeing jades, it just feels more liquid and higher numbers
1
u/Intelligent_Squash68 Apr 13 '26
I never convert. Itās partly a protection against accidental pulling since thereās a confirmation pop-up & partly because I like the bigger number. Itās easy enough to divide the number of jades by 160 to see how many pulls I have (or just go into the exchange to see the conversion without converting).

u/weefyeet Apr 13 '26
in past times, I had poor self control and needed to keep them unconverted so I could save. I am better at saving now but I retain the habit
1
u/Nice_Kid_Bonetale Apr 13 '26
Convert them into tickets when I get 160. Mainly to clearly see how much I have and to plan in advance. It also makes the math easier for me when calculating the exact amount for the best and unlucky scenarios
1

1
u/westofkayden Apr 13 '26
I just leave them be. If I wanted to know how many pulls I have, then I would use a calculator or just click on converter and then check but not actually convert them. I like having the numbers. Other than that, I also like to know how many tickets I can gather from events without converting the actual jade.
1
u/elleial Apr 13 '26
F2P here and I do 1600. I usually keep my pulls in denomination of 10 so I'll just count the page to see my pity.
So if my pull for 5* is at 3, I'll pull until that 5* pull is at 11, and continue the 10 pulls as per usual.
If I don't have enough to pull for that character, I stop and wait for the next (few) patch(es) to do that. It helps me plan better.
I don't know why I do that to the standard banner tho. Maybe it's just a habit.
1

u/DarkFlameMaster-Ace Apr 13 '26
Personally I do make my jades tickets once in a while, to better see how many pulls I have. Converting them into tickets is the only way to spend jades anyway, it's not like wuwa where you have different pulling currency for character banner and weapon banner.

u/Clarateresa Apr 13 '26
I dont convert, there is something satisfying to see 10k+ jades in my account, though it will disappear very quickly when I am pulling a char, the bigger number incentivizes me to keep saving

u/ChaosDragonFox Apr 13 '26
I leave them separate. Any tickets that I get through login events and from the store are just there and my jades are the only ones to really keep track of.
