12 ways to get started in Genshin Impact easily.

Looking for a Genshin Impact strategy guide? The free-to-play Action-RPG has skyrocketed in popularity in the previous year, and more than ever, new players are rushing to Teyvat to embark on their own trip with the Traveler. However, Genshin Impact is not as straightforward as it appears.

Sure, if you've played it for a bit, it's easy to comprehend, but with so many distinct features, it can be a little intimidating at first: In what shall I put it? Should I raise the level of these characters? Is there a faster way to obtain Adventure Ranks? What exactly is this resin stuff? This Genshin Impact guide will address all of your questions and more.

If you've been playing for a while but still don't feel like things are clicking, there are lots of ideas that can help you push things a bit further. Stumbling blocks are an unavoidable feature of any game, and conquering them is an important part of the adventure. However, if you want to enter Teyvat with your best foot forward, this Genshin Impact guide is a terrific place to begin.

Exploration is enjoyable, but missions are the means by which you gain access to new locations.
One of Genshin Impact's main draws is its vast open environment filled with hidden secrets, riddles, mini-games, and bosses. However, in order to access fresh material, you must frequently accomplish missions. These might be Genshin's major Archon quest, which leads to Inazuma, or the Dragonspine questline, which leads to the mountain's peak and the Peak of Vindagnyr domain.

Other missions, such as Seirai Stormchasers in Inazuma or Orobashi's Legacy on Yashiori Island, make it simpler to explore new places by removing natural concerns like Balethunder or lethal lightning storms. If a new region is created, it's likely that miHoYo has also added a questline to introduce you to it, so it's always worth checking first. Quests are also an excellent method to advance your adventure rating, which unlocks additional features.

Increase your Adventure Rank to get access to additional features.
Adventure rank is an essential aspect of Genshin Impact since it influences what's accessible in-game and whether you can complete certain objectives. You may raise your adventure rating by opening chests in the world, accomplishing quests, performing daily commissions, and defeating bosses and collecting their prizes with resin.

As you advance in your adventure rating, the following items will become available to you:

The difficulty of adversaries, as well as the quality of loot they drop, are also affected by the Adventure Rank.

When it comes to Wishes, what matters is pity.
Wishing for people or weapons in Genshin Impact is always a risk because you never know what you'll obtain. But here's where Pity comes in: a system that virtually assures you'll earn a four or a five star within a set number of requests.

Here's how pity works for each character or weapon rarity:

The tenth wish is guaranteed to be four stars after nine wishes without a four star.

The 90th wish is guaranteed to be a five star after 89 wishes without a five star. From 75 wishes on, the chance of pulling a five-star increases with each request until it reaches 100 percent on the 90th.

After 79 wishes on a weapon banner that do not result in a five star, the 80th wish is assured to result in a five star. From 65 wishes on, the chance of pulling a five-star increases with each wish until it reaches 100 percent on the 80th.

It's also worth noting that these numbers are reset to zero anytime you roll a character or weapon of that rarity.

Keep your Primogems for characters you wish to play.
Primogems are used in Genshin Impact to purchase either Intertwined Fate or Acquaint Fate, which are used to desire for additional characters. You can buy Genesis Crystals (which turn into Primogems), but you can also earn a lot of them in-game by opening chests, completing events, and doing Spiral Abyss and daily commissions. Fates may also be obtained by climbing characters and purchased at Paimon's Bargains using Starglitter or Stardust, which you can obtain whenever you choose.

Even with all of that, you may require 80 wishes to obtain a five-star character. This is why, if you don't want to pay money, storing up your Fates for a character you really want is preferable to going all-in to get fortunate or reach the 80 wish pity level. That doesn't ensure you'll receive the five-star you desire, but if you're wishing on a new banner, it will have increased rates for whoever the featured five-star is.

Spend your Original Resin immediately or convert it to Condensed Resin Advertisement.
Original Resin is the be-all and end-all of Genshin Impact, serving as the game's prize money. If you beat a boss or complete a domain, you must expend resin to receive your prize. You now have 160 Original Resin, which replenishes at a rate of one every eight minutes. This implies it will take 21 hours and 20 minutes to fully refill your resin.

However, you may convert Original Resin into Condensed Resin and store it for later use. To accomplish so, you must first earn reputation rank three in Liyue before proceeding to an alchemy bench. Though Condensed Resin may only be used on domains rather than bosses, it doubles the rewards, making it perfect for farming artifacts and resources.

Fragile Resin may also be obtained through the battlepass and adventure rank prizes. This replenishes sixty resin when used, so it's worth keeping around until you really need it.

Learn how to build characters and a well-balanced group.
This may seem apparent, but the combat in Genshin Impact revolves primarily around elemental skills and how you mix them to generate explosive reactions that may freeze, melt, or electrocute adversaries. The way you construct and accomplish these responses is determined by the characters in your party and how you employ their elemental skill, burst, and attacks.

You must also understand how to shape people to fit their roles in your group. Every good team has a healer, a damage dealer, and some form of support, whether it's shielding, skills that increase attack, or even the ability to produce more powerful responses, like with Anemo heroes. Choosing a good weapon and artifact set isn't difficult; you simply need to consider the character's function in your group. It might also good to look over their skills, since this will give you an indication of what stat their abilities are at, allowing you to prioritize.

Because each artifact has a random stat role, while they supply consistent set-based abilities, they don't always grant you the most helpful stats. This is why it is preferable to spend on leveling artifacts with high attack-based stat rolls or that are five-star. Weapons are significantly less complicated than artifacts—you just want to select one with an ability that suits your character's job. Do you rely heavily on your elemental ability? Then proceed with the Sacrificed weaponry. Need to refuel your batteries? Choose the Favonius ones.

There are also a handful of good four-star weapons that you may craft at the blacksmith or get through other ways, such as The Catch in version 2.1.

Mark everything on the map.
The world of Teyvat is full with mysteries, but every now and then you'll come upon one that doesn't have an obvious answer. You may require a certain elemental ability or higher stats, or you may simply be too stupid to solve the riddle. Whatever the cause, utilize the pins on your map to mark that spot for subsequent reference. You may also use these pins to record the location of fishing or hunting sites, as well as unique resources like character ascension materials, so you can return there after the 48-hour respawn period. You have the option of laying down up to 99 pins, so there's no excuse not to utilize them all.

Spend all of your sigils.
It's easy to forget about Sigils. They're a form of regional cash that can be acquired from chests or found while traveling, and if you're anything like me, you're probably stockpiling them for some odd reason. Stop doing that. The sigil store (Mondstadt and Liyue have them) has a limited supply of ascension materials, mora, weapon blueprints, and constellations for the Traveler. Don't do what I did and hoard your sigils for no reason.

Inazuma lacks a sigil shop, but it does have the Sacred Sakura. If you present your sigils there, your electrogranum will be upgraded, allowing you to pass past higher-level obstacles and explore even more of the islands. This, like the Frostbearing Tree in Dragonspine, is one of the few sites where you may get a Crown of Insight—a highly rare resource necessary to max up your fighting abilities.

Spend your money carefully and avoid attempting to max out every character.
One of the problems in Genshin Impact is that as you go through the stages, you need more and more experience items and ascension materials for your characters, but you only have a certain amount of time to gather these rewards each day. By level 60, you'll be grinding for the equipment you'll need to develop your characters. It will get worse if you try to level every new character you get. This is why it is frequently advisable to first focus on elevating your chosen team to a decent level.

Having said that, if you don't mind a little grinding, you may level as many characters as you desire. The only major impediment is resin, which is required to claim mora and experience goods from Ley Line Overflows and to get character ascension materials from bosses. But having two teams around isn't a problem because you'll need at least 8 excellent characters to complete the latter levels of the Spiral Abyss. After all, Genshin is all about gathering new characters, and if you want to employ any of the ones you pick, you'll have to level them up to match your world level anyhow.

Keep in mind that you have the ability to reduce World Level.
The difficulty of foes, bosses, and the quality of the rewards they drop in Genshin Impact is influenced by world level. However, because this grows with adventure rank rather than character level, difficulty can occasionally take you off unprepared. If you're having trouble, you may reduce your world level by one in the menu overview. This will make foes and bosses simpler to defeat, but it will also reduce the amount of possible item drops you receive from enemies.

There are eight world levels in all, however to raise adventure rank 25, 35, 45, and 50, you must also finish a mission, implying that you may select when you're ready for things to grow more tough. World level also controls how far you may level your characters, so when the game informs you that the level cap has been reached, you know it's time to upgrade, or gain adventure rank until you're ready to upgrade.

Cooking isn't simply for entertainment.

Though cooking may appear to be a novelty, food is extremely strong in Genshin Impact. Eating meals is one of the few methods to resurrect characters, but food may also boost stats, offer resilience to status effects such as the cold in Dragonspine, or just heal you. This is why it's always a good idea to collect recipes from restaurants all across Teyvat and have a well-stocked pantry. We advocate utilizing expeditions to harvest ingredients, but if you're looking for a place to start, you can buy meat from Draff at Springvale during the day, and there's a fantastic site to hunt boar just east of Stormterror's Lair.

Instead of holding the sprint, learn how to evade and hit sprint.
Although there is no dodge or roll capabilities in Genshin Impact, you may utilize sprint to fast evade strikes if you time it correctly. This is a difficult talent to acquire, but it is one of the most helpful, especially when battling high-level enemies like Stormterror or Azhdaha in the Trounce Domain. Stamina is a vital resource in and of itself because you need it to conduct charged attacks, therefore spend it sparingly when moving around in fight by hitting sprint rather than holding it. You may also boost your stamina by improving the seven statues in each zone.

Other information you should be aware of
Stop if you notice an Amenoculus, Geoculus, or Electroculus floating close. These treasures may be exchanged into the Statues of the Seven, which can be found all throughout the globe, to enhance them. This provides a slew of benefits, like increased stamina, allowing you to climb higher or wind glide for longer periods of time. These directions to Anemoculus and Electroculus sites should be of assistance.

Complete all of the mini-goals in your Adventurer Handbook. It provides a plethora of materials and aids in the advancement of your adventure level. If you're lost and don't know what to do, here is a fantastic place to start.

A character that wields the greatsword will smash rocks much more quickly. If you're going mining, carrying a greatsword-wielding party member will be really beneficial. If that fails, Amber's Explosive Puppet ability will quickly destroy most ore veins.
