10 Genshin Impact Mechanics You Probably Forgot About

Seeing bartering brought back in the Irodori Festival made me wonder if there are any other Genshin Impact mechanics that I've forgotten about. So I've compiled a list of 10 and discuss which ones do and don't deserve more attention from the players and Hoyoverse.

the geography section of the archive that shows unlocked viewpoints is also extremely forgettable. its a shame bc i think its a really neat feature. it'd be cool if it rewarded primos for unlocking every viewpoint in a specific region or something

The Adventurer's Guild Handbook *Chapter Rewards* which wasn't updated since, even Inazuma-related. Although, if they were to add Inazuma-related chapter rewards, the most likely case will be is that they would add it gradually over time, similar to most mechanics. The same goes to the Teapot Adeptal Mirror which basically has the same mechanics and provides furniture instead.

[@NexThicc]

I loved filling out the handbook chapter rewards it actually made me want to have fun and get those decent rewards

[@moomooha234]

the chapter rewards made me motivated to progress when I was a new player, it was so satisfying finishing every single quest in a chapter, they should make new chapters

[@monktheimmortal]

I thought they were gonna put that in when inazuma was first introduced

[@azyo7101]

They were only really used as tutorials to help players know what to do but I do wish they would add more chapters per region

[@gianna526]

I wish the Chapter Rewards had more, it was so fun to complete. They should just keep making them more and more difficult with each region. Idk it's just a fun side thing to do, and a great extra way to get primos. There do need to be a few more little things like that. It gets to a point where you're stuck with all the super hard stressful world quests, and no other way to get primos. If there were slightly easier less stressful ways to do it, saving for a character or weapon would be ten times easier without losing the fun of it.

[@powguma]

One-time mechanics could be incorporated into daily commissions which are pretty mundane for most players. But in case you get annoying mechanics, you should be able to skip some commissions without missing primogems.

[@kathhoho7667]

or maybe a possible idea is that we can choose from maybe like 6-8 different commissions with this mechanic, but we only get daily commission rewards from 4, like perhaps the rest disappear after u finish the first 4, i think that would be quite cool

[@elegantegotist]

@@kathhoho7667 Having to choose from like 6 or 8 daily commissions also increases the chance of getting misions that are related to achievements.

[@thatweebloser9265]

yeah imagine having a commission where you fly and defeat abyss mages in the air while on a timer. would be nice.

[@doplop]

yeah i wish commissions were more interesting like the waverider ones and the one where you have to be sneaky and steal supplies

[@jeffulloa218]

Yes please! Sometimes I'm out of my home and need to do my commissions on my phone and let me tell you, it's like the universe conspires against me and I get the hardest ones to do on the phone. Like those Inazuma ones were you have to use the electrogranum to fly and get motes.

[@StargazerKite]

As a late game player, one thing I wish they did was give people a reason to revisit the old dungeon areas (I.e the ones used during character quests or ones found throughout the world like the ruin guard one in liyue). For newer players they don't have to worry since they have a lot to go through before running out. But in late game there's no reason to revisit them since they don't give any rewards and they serve no purpose aside from being essentially another teleport waypoint. A shame too since some of them had unique gameplay mechanics and designs.

[@rashispika]

There is only one puzzle dungeon that has slight value in playing it over and its one in mondstat that has three paths (theres another box in the other paths) Youre right tho, i wish there was more puzzle domains or atleast the ability redo domains you might have missed boxes in

[@acatcheckingitstemperature394]

They were dungeons? Im pretty sure they're just fancier waypoints

[@archerestarcher]

You literally cannot revisit the character story quest ones. They need to make them revisitable before there's a point in incentivising it.

I think they can add shimenawa and emblem to strongbox. I think they should add an artifact with either ATK%, DEF%, ER%, HP% or Healing Bonus% 2 piece effects. If they add elemental damage bonus artifact then hoyoverse should add all the seven elemental damage bonus artifact to the strongbox which some of them are insanely op (Viridescent Venerer, Crimson Witch, Blizzard Strayer)

[@StarrNOM]

I usually like fishing mini games in games, but I feel like Genshin’s bar isn’t sensitive enough, making the actual process harder than it needs to be and more boring. With no benefit to fishing beyond them looking pretty and acting as an extra source of meat, it’s just not a fun addition 🤷‍♀️

[@Seichensi]

I remember some domains; like the one from Klee's storyline. In one of corridos there were a lasers, which clearly suggested a player to use small character (like a Klee) to pass through it. While size of characters affecting the gameplay, isn't really forgotten by attentive players... But the fact Hoyo introduced such domains and mechanics, requiring from player a little different approach (rather than just killing everything), and then never doing anything similar, feels like a forgotten feature. Sadly, forgotten by the devs. When I was new to the Genshin, I really thought dungeons will be more interesting and the elements/reactions will have a bigger impact to the actual gameplay, instead of serving dps purposes only. Well, I still feel super baited by that.

[@anaplaysstuff]

Depending on feedback from surveys it might be less that they forgot and more that they had a bunch of players not liking it so they decided not to keep using them. It seems to me like a lot of temporary things (and I'd include story quests) are really Hoyo testing out a feature to see how it works/what the response is before they implement it fully in the game. Like how you had to use the Waverider in the archipelago before it actually got implemented in the game and so on.

[@Seichensi]

@@anaplaysstuff Come on, do you really believe they taking seriously feedback from these surveys? If that would be the case, Artifacts farming would be a little bit more fair. And I think that even you don't believe, that a lot (if not majority) of people didn't request reworking resin system.

[@anaplaysstuff]

@@Seichensi Actually, yeah, I do think they're seriously taking feedback from the surveys or they wouldn't bother making them so topical. I also think a vocal minority vastly overrate the "problems" with the resin system. This game has _millions_ of players and I would not be surprised if a greater number don't worry about whether they use up all their resin every day or not. I know I don't.

[@krispiek4084]

The ascension domain dungeon domain is another one once you reach AR50 and ascend your world level you never see it again which is such a shame because it has an interesting design with a whole dungeon (albeit railroaded), some platforming & traversal challenges, a mini-boss, and a boss + rewards. I honestly think it's been over a year since I last saw that dungeon I kinda miss it 😞

[@dracov333]

when you said that the dungeon is railroaded, it made me immediately think about videos of people using Geo Traveler and Keqing to parkour on top of the dungeon and skip areas. 😆but yes, their intended design IS indeed railroaded but some travelers said "fk that! I do my own way" 🤣 And yea, i also feel nostalgic for these dungeons too. It was always like a test to see how hard the next world level is gonna be.

The tutorial elemental reaction tutorials in a Mondstadt domain that I didn’t find out about until post-AR 50 that let you use trial characters. Also, tornadoes in stormterror’s lair. I forgot they were even a thing until seeing a Reddit thread a day ago of someone still in the Mondstadt Archon Quest

[@ForeverDegenerate]

Each Nation should have, at least, one area where you have to worry about Weather/Elemental Hazards. Like how Tatarasuna in Inazuma still has a low-lying field of Electro even after you repair the reactor so if you go down to ground level in Tatarasuna, you still have to contend with constant Electro Damage. I think that would be cool and interesting.

[@ClaustroPasta]

That tornado look so much fun. How cool would it be if Liyue also has some hostile unique weather only in a certain location or a few. Like a rock slide or something. We do have that updraft thing but it's not so hostile. I miss inazuma's constant rain before that quest and Seirai trying to lightning strike you every 5 minutes. It gave you a sense of haste and caution, having to find a safe place to idle or catch a break. If Sumeru doesn't have sandstorm imma break!!!

[@ForeverDegenerate]

@@ClaustroPasta Well like I said, Inazuma still has the Low-Lying Electro Field that covers the Ground Level of the Tatarasuna Reactor. Personally, I prefer that as an Elemental Hazard to the constant rain with the lightning. That sucked. And we still get that when it does rain. But yeah, Liyue should have had something Rock related being, you know, the Realm of The Geo Archon and all. Like you said, Rock Slides would have been interesting. Given the vast amount of high peaks throughout Liyue, I could see one of them, literally, being Death Mountain from Legend of Zelda, complete with Rock Slides. Like how about this? Make Mt. Hulao the "Death Mountain" of Liyue. The Lore behind the hazards? Azdaha rests beneath Mt. Hulao and it's his radiating energy that causes the Rock Slides.

[@Sloth-tr7bd]

Weren't these elemental tutorials added at some point? I'm pretty sure there was only left over from Lisa's quest and that's it, then on one of the updates they decided to put these tutorials on this domain. So it wasn't you being unable to find it it's just that this thing wasn't always there

I use the weak spot system by reflex but I mained charged shot archers for most of the game (Amber>Fischl>Ganyu) so I may be an exception.

[@ayatoculus]

yeah i regularly still use the gliding one. cooking pot i've maybe used once or twice? and even as a ganyu main i never aim for weak-shots, a lot of enemies don't even have weak-shots anymore, but the whole point of aiming at weak-shots is to get a guaranteed crit or get atk% out of prototype crescent. i need neither, i run skyward harp and my ganyu has 58+20% crit rate.

I use Diona with Favonius Bow and weak spots shots give me crit the most. And this, in fact, helps my other teammates Although I use it only on Ruin Guards for materials, because I despise every other variant and hilichurls with arrows to knock them from their towers and finish them on the ground Craftable Cooking Pot is forgettable because you can't collect it back.

[@ronaldvexdian2182]

Here my opinion on some of the stuff you said in the video. I honestly didn’t like the shooting part of Dvalin’s first encounter. I felt like it didn’t matter how much I moved, I still got hit. Not to mention I don’t like fps shooting in mobile games. I’d be cool if we could craft traps from the three blacksmiths in each city with different characters helping in the process. Like Razor making good boar traps or Klee making crab cages you leave in the ocean to pick up with the wave rider. All you’d need to make it work is leave a trap somewhere with animals and come back in a few days to get extra meat. I think the reason we don’t have cutscenes in the travel log is because that’ll cause the storage space the game needs to balloon. I have a 64 gig iPhone and Genshin takes up 30 gigs of space. Even my other gacha games like FGO and Skullgirls, and my 1400 photos over the years don’t take up as much space.

[@sakurakushinada3694]

Omg the razor and Klee ideas r really good

[@doplop]

but the cutscenes are already in game it's not like they're deleted after being played are they?

[@BlackGateofMordor]

@@doplop If they added event replays that *might* be a problem (although I'm not sure if Mihoyo actually delete the data after the patches or not) but yeah, everything else should be there already. It's not like most of the dialogue is actually a cutscene anyway, it'd be camera info, character placement info, and poses that wouldn't be in the game aside from text. So it'd just be the few dozen MB for each patch's ~1min cutscene, most phones shouldn't have an issue. They could always ask if you'd like to download the content anyway, just like how you can delete unused voice files.

[@SeminarChauffeur]

I'm no programmer but I'm pretty sure that won't be the case. They simply just need to code in programs that will fetch and play already existing cutscenes on demand. And no, no major data like that gets deleted. Otherwise alt accounts would be impossible w/o redownloading a new client every time.

I quite liked fishing and I think it's a pity they did not integrate it better into the gameplay. There's only so much you can do with it, with collecting N >= 5 of each ornamental fish probably taking the longest. Also fishing for all the book pages gets you safely beyond the 2000 fish for the namecard. Also Chasm gave us another single shot use of fishing, you need to do it to get an item for one of world quests. Giving the player a chance to pull some exp books or mora from the water would definitely make the mechanic useful. And since I mentioned books, their archive is another pretty much forgotten feature.

[@blackjackal8770]

Im not sure if i should be jealous of your luck or not because i fished all 10 toki alley tales pages before I hit 900 fish in total. Now the only excuse I have to go and fish the other 1100 is the namecard and 20 primogems from the achievement, which honestly aren't that big of an incentive

[@kaiserinkai]

Same here! I got all the Toki Alley Tales Pages, at least one of every Fish, both Ornamental and regular versions including the new ones added in later updates, did the Chasm Quest, did everything in the limited event, and entirely bought out every fishing vendor.

[@annaairahala9462]

I will say though, the fishing is a nice addition if you don't grind it. The players who fished everything as fast as possible to get the catch are the ones who dug themselves into a hole. With just casual occasional fishing, a player is looking at a few months of side fishing that doesn't get laborious. This leaves with a good amount of time to add something for each region. Blaming Hoyoverse for the player's lack of foresight is a bit unfair if you ask me

[@SmartyPoohBear]

THIS. I currently having almost 1.9k fish caught without ever feeling burnt out from it just cause I like to stop by to fish a few if I happen to come across a fishing spot on the way to some other objective. Although, it would still be better if there are more things to exchange fish for.

[@tentiapoe]

It's not about being burnt out, it's about having little to no reason to fish after you refine The Catch and buy the tea pot pool. I did the same thing, and would happily fish again, but there's no reason to do it except collecting ornamentals, the achievement for a whole 20 primos and maybe fish meat farming?

why would i ever touch those damn things ever again? it's not useful and it's extremely unfun. no, it's not the players' fault. the mechanic just plain sucks.

[@acekotana4425]

@@jadecoolness101 you don't have to *overplay* the game, that's why burnout happens. You don't have to get the world record speedrun for everything in genshin, it's a casual game to be played casually. Almost nothing is fun is you just purely grind it out, genshin is certainly no exception

idk about you but ive like never been able to fish successfully in stardew valley though the last time i played i was like 11

[@lilmishu]

I've seen so many people compare genshin's fishing with stardew valley's finshing and even though the mechanics are almost the same, fishing in sdv is super relaxing but fishing in genshin gives me a lot of stress-

[@ice_cream_mochi]

@@lilmishu For me it's the opposite. Sometimes in sdv the harder fish just goes up and down very suddenly and I can't keep up with it (my fishing skill is lv 9 right now). Meanwhile in genshin fishing is waaay easier and thus more relaxing to me, but it gets a bit boring eventually

[@RyzawaVT]

My biggest problem with strongboxes is that the type you receive is completely random instead of based on what you feed it. Wish you could feed 3 crowns to guarantee getting a crown piece but still maintain the rng if you feed say 2 flowers then you have a 66% chance of getting a flower, so you xan effectively choose your rates.

[@kotyanyan]

I think they wanted to make an open-world game (we have different potions, food, traps, dungeons with unique mechanics, technicaly we can level up by killing mobs and etc. I see all of it as standart rpg mechanics). And now we have a power fantasy gacha game (content is locked behind events, no new open-world mechanics, a lot of new characters are dps/support for main dps, new bosses are droping materials only for 2-3 characters)

The fan that increases your gliding speed. I find it really odd that you can't use it while gliding (it would have the niche use of having some extra boost when you realize you won't make it to that platform you're trying to reach), and personally I only used it once to avoid doing a puzzle for an electroculus. Same thing with the anemogram bottle. They are objects that seem like they would have a really specific moment to be used, but that moment never really arrives, and it makes them quite useless.

Aimed shot is one of those fighting mechanics in the game that just is forgotten. Why disable a ruin guard when you can just fight it head on, and the character focused on using aimed shot does not really need to aim. Oh, and that NPC scared by a dog in Liyue is also forgotten. Lol

I actually use the critical aimed shot a lot on ruin guards, when I'm not using my permafreeze Ayayaka comp. I usually use Ganyu against them and take them down from afar after stunning them, and when I randomly encounter one while I've got an archer in the team, I'll try to land that stun before actually attacking. It's not their damage I'm worried about, but being flung around by every single attack isn't fun at all.

[@SmartyPoohBear]

Unless it's a freeze team, I always try to disable a ruin guard if I have an archer on the team.

[@Bronze_Age_Sea_Person]

" Why disable a ruin guard when you can just fight it head on" Because it's more fun. Every other enemy you can fight head on, but Ruin guards offer the opportunity to play different. I love trying to hit it's weak spot with Diona while dodging it's attacks, so then I destroy it when it's stunned.

I believe potions are always used during events that allow food, like the Hypostasis event, so it is not THAT forgotten. Against the Geo cube I remember NEEDING the Geo Res potion for getting the max score for the namecard, and elemental buff potions make life easier against boss rush events. Also, we are slowing getting furniture instead of namecards as event rewards, and one thing that got completly forgotten by the game is: Story Chapters for 4* units. Razor quest was the last important 4* quest. Now all we get are some hangouts here and there.

[@Eenkin]

Yanfei also though technically it’s not considered a character story quest but a world quest for the teapot instead. Though the execution of it was more or less like a character story quest by introducing Yanfei with a brief adventure to give insight to her day-to-day character. Searching for materials for the teapot was mainly to serve as a catalyst (and of course the end goal) for the plot.

[@jeremiahsmith916]

God, how I wish everyone just got a story quest. Hangouts were a mistake.

[@ForeverDegenerate]

@@jeremiahsmith916 I agree that every character should get, at least, one Character Quest. I disagree that Hangouts were a mistake. I think the only Hangout that was a mistake was Beidou's Hangout. And the reason I feel that way is because Beidou's is the only Hangout, that I can think of, that includes Major Character Lore in the Hangout. Furthermore, it hides that Major Character Lore behind one specific branch of the Hangout. In my opinion, Major Character Lore should be reserved either for their specific Character Quest or the Main Archon Quest. That aside, I quite like Hangouts because they, generally, show multiple facets of a character's personality and behavior as opposed to the Character Quest which delves into that character's lore.

I was kind of pissed they changed that honestly. Because it's so much less satisfying to see the common chests when I beat up hilichurl camps, and the poor seelies in Inazuma give out shabby common chests now and its not aesthetically pleasing. They should have done it the way they did with Dragonspine, where your average chest is still the exquisite chest, but it gives the 5 primos instead of 2

Adepti seeker's stove: Lets you cook anywhere and gets consumed on use, complete trash. Wind catcher: creates a (not very tall) wind current on use, but you have to charge it with anemograna. Warming bottle: makes a tiny warming area that removes sheer cold. Special kamera: literally just the regular kamera but adds an ugly png border to your photos. Seed dispensary: gives you seeds for the plants you pick up Here are some forgotten mechanics: The spikes in the water in the domain where you try Kaeya for the first time, you're told to freeze the water to go over them. Crop system in the serenitea pot. Nobody uses it, you don't even get that many resources out of it. Goulash, a very specific dish that reduces the accumulation rate of sheer cold. The fact that deleting objects gives you mora. Converting the fish you get from fishing into the actual "fish" item that you can use for cooking. The "Strange tooth", and even more forgettable, the "Vitalized dragontooth". Their only use is crafting the dragonspine spear. Crafting enhancement ore with resin. The "Experience" tab in the handbook, aka the investigation quests. The "Stellar reunion" player-specific event that happens if you haven't played the game in the last 15 days. And here are some less forgettable things but forgettable nontheless: Xinyan (I'm sorry but it's true). Frostbearer, craftable catalyst. Katsuragikiri Nagamasa, craftable claymore. Kitain Cross Spear, craftable polearm. Mitternachts Waltz bow. The "Alley" weapon series (Alley hunter, alley flash, wine and song). Summit Shaper sword.
