Genshin Impact is a role-playing gacha game featuring open-world exploration and combat-based mechanics. If it's your first time playing this game, you might be overwhelmed by the number of things that need to be accomplished. And if you're struggling to play the game, use these top beginner tips for Genshin Impact newbies below to make exploration and combat easier for you!

Use Your Primogems and Fates Wisely

Since Genshin Impact is a gacha game, it includes in-game currency called Primogems. Primogems can be converted into two different game currencies:

* Intertwined Fates: The in-game currency used for wishing in the Limited Character Event Wish banners and Limited Weapon Event Wish banners.

* Acquaint Fates: The in-game currency used for wishing in the Beginner's Wish Banner and Standard Wish Banner.

You can primarily get Primogems through exploration, daily commissions, events, and game quests (Archon, story, and world quests). Ideally, you'd want to save your primogems for Limited Character Event Wish Banners since they're guaranteed to give you a five-star character every ninety wishes.

Only make wishes in the Standard Wish banners if you get the Acquaint Fates, as the said banner will either give you a five-star weapon or character every ninety wishes. And unless you plan on spending money on the game, you should also skip wishing on the Limited Weapon Event Wish banners.

Make Sure to Finish the Quests

Although you can take your time doing Genshin Impact's exploration, it's vital to finish the quests, especially the Archon Quests (Main Story), as much as possible. After all, some of the game's quests and events are locked until you finish certain quests. So make sure to finish these quests if you want to participate in the game's events to receive Primogems and other rewards.

Do Your Commissions Daily

Once you reach Adventure Rank 12, you'll unlock the daily quest commissions feature. When you're done doing all the quests and events, your primary source of Primogem income would be from doing your daily commissions. Daily commissions refresh per day, so make sure to do them daily. Don't forget to claim your daily bonus rewards from Katheryne once you've finished all four commissions!

Forms Teams Based on Different  Elemental Reactions

Forming a team based on different elemental reactions in the game is important. After all, the core of Genshin Impact's combat system is its elements. Characters can wield Cryo (Frost), Hydro (Water), Pyro (Fire), Electro (Lightning), Geo (Earth), or Dendro (Nature) as their elemental power.

Combining any of the elements will result in different reactions. Therefore, it's essential to have at least one built character per element. From there, you can experiment and determine which combos you prefer for your teams. Beyond the combat system, you will also need to utilize different elements when solving puzzles in the game.

Build and Level up Your Characters as Needed

As your Adventure Rank level increases in Genshin Impact, the mobs and enemies will also become stronger. That said, it's important to build and level up your characters by ascending your units, equipping them with artifacts, giving them a good weapon, and leveling up their talents.

Each unit works differently, so make sure to give them the proper artifacts and weapons based on their character kit. Eventually, you'll also need enough units to beat the game's Spiral Abyss, which requires two well-built teams containing four units each.

Don't Spend Your Fragile Resin Until Late Game

Leveling up your characters' weapons, talents, and artifacts requires you to grind different Domains and Bosses. Grinding these bosses and domains requires you to use Original Resin.

All players get Original Resin, which you can accumulate even if you're offline. However, you can only earn a maximum of 160 Original Resin, and you can't earn more once you've reached the said cap. If you've used up all your Original Resin, you can replenish your supply by spending Primogems or using your Fragile Resin.

However, you can only obtain Fragile Resin through the Battle Pass, events, and particular Adventure Rank levels. Therefore, it's better to use your Fragile Resin later in the game, particularly around Adventure Rank 45. At the said Adventure Rank, you will receive better rewards, which is optimal if you want better builds for your teams. Of course, make sure to spend your Fragile Resin wisely.

Use the Pin FunctionN to Mark Shrines, Oculi, and Other Items in the Open World

Genshin Impact also comes with a pin function, allowing you to place custom markers on your map. Generally, you'd want to use these pins to mark Shrines, which are structures that contain Luxurious chests. If you don't have a Shrine Key to unlock them, you can always mark their location using the pin function and go back to that spot once you've obtained a Shrine Key.

On the other hand, Oculi are elemental orbs that you can collect and offer to Statues of Seven to upgrade them. You can also use the pin function to mark unsolved puzzles, unopened chests, and farming spots of particular materials you need. You may also use Genshin Impact's Interactive Map via the Hoyolab app or website to find chests and other materials you're looking for.

Make the Most Out of Each Region's Reputation System

Besides the exploration and quests, each region in Genshin has its own Reputation System. You can improve your Reputation System per region by accomplishing quests, world exploration, bounties, and requests to increase your reputation level. Each level grants you different rewards, including a handy Treasure Compass for locating nearby chests and the Oculi Resonance Stone for locating Oculi.

Due to Genshin Impact's compelling story and interesting game mechanics, it's no surprise that the game is a huge hit among several players. And with the help of the beginner tips above, you can minimize the beginner mistakes you'll make and enjoy the game to the fullest. Have fun!
