Welcome to Teyvat, Traveler! If you've just stepped through the Stardust Intertwined gate and found yourself blinking at the sprawling vistas of Mondstadt, chances are you’re feeling a mix of awe and absolute overwhelm. Genshin Impact is a masterpiece, but its sheer scope—dozens of characters, complex elemental reactions, endless exploration, and daily commissions—can feel like trying to drink from a firehose.
Fear not! This comprehensive
Genshin Guide is here to be your trusted companion, offering the essential tips and tricks we learned the hard way. We’ll cover everything from early resource management to building your first solid team, ensuring your first few months in Teyvat are fun, efficient, and rewarding.
Understanding the Basics: Your First Few Hours
The initial hours are crucial for setting up good habits. Don't rush the story; savor it, but prioritize these immediate tasks.
1. Follow the Archon Quests (But Don't Ignore Side Content)
The main story quests (Archon Quests) are your primary gateway to new regions, mechanics, and crucial Adventure Rank (AR) progression. Stick to them initially. However, once you unlock the ability to accept World Quests and Side Quests, start tackling them. They often reward valuable Primogems, experience books, and essential lore that fleshes out the world.
Pro Tip: Exploration is key. The small, glowing chests scattered around the starting areas often contain enough materials to level up your first few weapons and characters significantly.
2. Get Comfortable with Elemental Reactions
Genshin Impact’s combat isn't just about spamming normal attacks; it's about chemistry. Understanding the core 7 elements and their reactions is the backbone of high-level play, but even early on, it makes a huge difference.
Vaporize (Hydro + Pyro): High damage multiplier.
Melt (Pyro + Cryo): Highest damage multiplier (requires setup).
Electro-Charged (Hydro + Electro): Continuous damage over time.
Superconduct (Cryo + Electro): Lowers Physical RES—great for physical DPS characters like early Kaeya or Lisa.
Swirl (Anemo + Any Element): Spreads the element, crucial for early Anemo characters like Sucrose or the Traveler.
Experiment in the early training areas. Your starting team (Traveler, Amber, Kaeya, Lisa) is perfect for learning these basics.
3. Unlock the Waypoints and Statues ASAP
Fast travel points (Waypoints) and Statues of the Seven are your lifelines. Whenever you enter a new area, make it your mission to activate every Waypoint and Statue you see. This not only aids navigation but also allows the Statue of the Seven to heal your party and, critically, upgrade your Stamina as you offer it Dendro/Geo/Anemo Sigils.
Stamina is King Early On: Prioritize upgrading Stamina via the Statues of the Seven before focusing on character leveling or weapon upgrades with those region-specific offerings. More stamina means more climbing, more gliding, and faster exploration.
Resource Management 101: Primogems, Resin, and Wishes
This is where many new players stumble, wasting precious, limited resources. Pay close attention here.
4. The Golden Rule of Primogems: Save Them for Character Banners
Primogems are the most valuable currency. They are earned through commissions, events, chests, and story progression. Your instinct might be to spend them instantly on the Standard Banner to try and get a good weapon or character. Resist this urge.
Spend on Intertwined Fates: Only spend Primogems on Intertwined Fates (used for Limited Character Event Banners).
Avoid the Standard Banner (Mostly): The Standard Banner has a fixed pool of characters and weapons. You will eventually get those characters through "Fate’s Chance" (the pity mechanic) on the Limited Banners. Do not spend Primogems here.
Use Acquaint Fates Wisely: Acquaint Fates (used for the Standard Banner) are often given freely through events, Ascension rewards, and the Battle Pass. Spend these freely, but don't waste Primogems to buy them.
5. Understand Resin: The Daily Energy Gate
Resin is the energy required to claim rewards from Domains, Ley Lines, and Bosses. It regenerates slowly (1 Resin every 8 minutes, capping at 160).
Never Let It Cap: If your Resin reaches 160, it stops regenerating. Make it a daily habit to spend your Resin before logging off.
Early Focus (AR 1-40): Prioritize Ley Line Outcrops for Mora (gold) and Hero’s Wit (EXP books). Don't worry too much about Artifact Domains until AR 45.
Fragile Resin: These items instantly restore 60 Resin. Do not use them before Adventure Rank 45. They are far more valuable later when Artifact farming becomes efficient.
6. Daily Commissions are Non-Negotiable
Once unlocked (usually around AR 12), Daily Commissions become your single most consistent source of Primogems. Log in every day, complete the four commissions, and report back to Katheryne at the Adventurers’ Guild. Missing these is leaving free currency on the table.
Building Your Team: Characters, Weapons, and Artifacts
You don’t need five-star weapons or characters right away. A well-built four-star team will carry you much further than a poorly invested five-star unit.
7. Don't Spread Your Resources Too Thin
This is the biggest mistake new players make. You get tons of free characters, and you want to use them all! Resist the temptation.
The 4x Rule: Focus intensely on upgrading just four characters first. These four will form your primary exploration and challenge team. Invest your scarce EXP books and Mora into them. Once they are fully built and strong enough to clear content easily, then start investing in your secondary or situational teams.
8. Weapon Ascension Materials Over Character Talents (Early Game)
Talent levels (the skills) are expensive and scale better at higher levels. Early on, you get more immediate power increase by:
1. Leveling your Main DPS character to the current cap.
2. Leveling their primary weapon by a few tiers.
Spend your Ley Line Blossoms on Hero’s Wit (EXP books) and Mora first.
9. Artifacts: A Late-Game Concern (Mostly)
Artifacts provide massive stat boosts, but the best ones (5-star artifacts with perfect substats) only drop reliably starting at Adventure Rank 45.
AR 1-44: Equip any 3-star or 4-star Artifacts that have the correct Main Stat. Don't worry about set bonuses or substats yet.
DPS: Focus on ATK% on the Sands, ATK% or Elemental DMG Bonus on the Goblet, and Crit Rate/DMG or ATK% on the Circlet.
Support: Focus on Energy Recharge or HP/DEF depending on the unit.
AR 45+: This is when you start the massive Artifact farm. Until then, just keep your current artifacts leveled up to match your character level.
Exploration and Quality of Life Tips
Teyvat is huge, and getting around efficiently saves time and sanity.
10. Mastering Exploration Tools
Anemoculus/Geoculus/Electroculus: Collect these religiously! Offer them to the Statues of the Seven to increase your Stamina. Stamina is critical.
The Parametric Transformer: This device, unlocked via a World Quest, lets you feed it common junk materials (like monster drops or crystal chunks) and receive random character EXP, weapon EXP, or Mora. Use it every seven days. It's free stuff!
Oculus Resonance Stones: Once you reach a new region, immediately seek out the blueprints for the Resonance Stones (found in the local Adventurer’s Handbook). Using these items will ping nearby Oculi on your mini-map, making collection much faster.
11. Use Your Food Buffs!
Don't hoard your cooked food. Food is extremely powerful early on, especially when tackling challenging World Bosses or Domains that feel slightly above your current level.
Stat-Boosting Food: Foods that temporarily increase ATK%, DEF%, or Elemental Mastery can significantly boost your damage output during tough fights. Cooked dishes are almost always better than raw ingredients.
12. Don’t Fear Co-op, But Use It Strategically
Co-op mode allows you to team up with other players.
For Bosses: If you are struggling to beat a World Boss (like a Regisvine or Hypostasis) to get materials, Co-op is a fantastic, low-stress way to melt the boss quickly with higher-level players helping you.
For Domains: Once you hit AR 25-30, most domains can be comfortably cleared solo. Co-op is fun, but remember: the drops rely on your Resin, not your teammates'. If you are hosting, you control when the Domain run starts and ends.
