Things to consider

Open-world exploration rather than short, self-contained stages.

How Genshin Impact plays and where to start

Editor’s tip

Your first steps

Follow an introductory quest, explore one nearby landmark, then try one elemental interaction.

Starting out & daily time

Encounter Points can replace up to four Daily Commission rewards per day. With Long-Term Encounter Points stored, each 30 Original Resin spent lets you use them for one commission reward. First-week and daily minutes remain unmeasured.
