How do Teyvat's trade routes work?

Border patrol but make it genshin? A new day, a brand new inspector. Her duty, guarantee that the trade routes make sense.
Liyue proving once again though that it has the most competent government honestly. (the bar is on the ground)

I love it how genshin pays so much attention to the smallest things that most people don't even know (like how every liyue characters constellations aligns with the waypoints in the liyue map) but as soon as we get to normal human things that real people do in real life and it should be pretty easy, nah bro it's the most unreal thing in genshin that it doesn't even make sense

Also like how did it take us like a day or smth to get from Liyue to Inazuma how come Kirara can just go throughout the entire Teyvat in a day multiple times and like how NPC often takes us from one side of the country to the other as if it's just a light walk (that happens a lot in Liyue's archon and character story quests like Baizhu)

I am so upset they gave us the northern section of Sumeru without giving us her village (Layla is my fave character). :( It's not that bad except the that the game is marketed as open world, and most games these days know that open world shouldn't just mean expansive places. Implying the lived-in aspect but not translating it well (like having paths and roads that end randomly or don't lead where they should, etc) just highlight how empty it is. Combine that with the fact there aren't really many cities within the nations, just the main cities, and it feels even emptier.

I have been waiting for this for so long!

It's so funny to me that Genshin will have you go through quests that permanently alter your game world in HUGE ways like removing the weather from islands in Inazuma, or even sinking an ENTIRE TOWER in Fontaine, but yet we don't have any normal quests to just clear up stuff like the trade route between Mondstadt and Liyue. Like come on Genshin. The closest thing I feel like we've had to that so far was the daily commission to rebuild the bridge in Wangshu Inn. I just want more quests like that.

Goods for a bit while they wait for an official decree to be signed so imports arent as expensive for them anymore) but other than that this vid was so fun to watch LOL it made my brain hurt thinking of all the detours they'd have to make for trade ...

[@apoorvjoshi2383]

yes. Watatsumi so far has been providing for itself with little trade. Watatsumi while at a little odds with Shogunate, are still considered a part of Inazuma nation. So they cannot initiate international trade by themselves even if they have the route for that. This could also be the reason why watatsumi might not be interested in trade within inazuma as well. They are hardly on good terms with Shogunate, and you usually don't trade in decent amounts where relations are that sour. Sure some merchants go in and out, but that can hardly be called "trade". So it would make sense why they did not seem necessary to have a well developed port. Not to mention, Watatsumi is not rich by any means. If they cannot initiate international trade, their Pearls and corals are meaningless. They do not produce enough crops to have an agricultural trade. The only thing going for them could be fishing trade, but we know that Shogunate and Watatsumi fishing borders are pretty close. infact watatsumi's fisher men often fish in Narukami waters(part of her story quest)...if you have to fish in someone else's waters then what are you even trading with them? So watatsumi island is relatively poor(sadly). The resistance was already on the verge of collapse. It was their sheer rage for Shogunate, Gorou/Kokomi's leadership, Yashiro commissions help, and well also Fatui's help, that kept them going. So yes, now is the time when they can hope to actually do some legit trading now that they are on better terms with Narukami. But even with that, i doubt what can they even offer Shogunate in exchange? My bet is, they will establish themselves as pearl and coral producers in Ritou under the Inazuman international trade(as states cannot usually bypass National laws regarding trade), the Shogunate will receive portion of their earning and on the other hand, the Watatsumi traders will have buyers buying through Ritou's channels and trade routes protected by the shogunate when in their territory.

[@adiaphoros6842]

I made a map about trade routes on r/Genshin_Lore. What bugged me is the lack of an obvious route from Lumidouce Harbor to the Court of Fontaine... My best guess was it goes through the Fountain of Lucine to get to the aquabus terminal.

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

Fontaine imo is the most egregious. The "canal lock" for to and from Fontaine is too small for larger ships. Not to mention the tower area is actually taken up by a elevator for people and not for the locks themselves. And yea I noticed how Fontaine is completely walled off from the outside and there are basically no other connection but the aquabus which mean people have to go to take circuitous routes to go to their properties outside. The other factor here is there are no roads from the opera or harbors to said rural areas making navigation difficult. Maybe by boat? But the lack of docks also further disconnect the islands from each other. I also really loved they included public transit in the game. But there are many issues. For one, the route is poorly designed. They should extend the Navia line past Marcotte and down to Lumidouce harbor as their end stop. They can also repair the south wing so they can run through service in Fontaine to Elynas. So Navia line would go from Elynas to Fontaine, to Marcotte, and end at Lumidouce. This will allow the Melusines to travel from Elynas to Fontaine for work. This will also connect their busiest harbor to both the capital city and a major tourist attraction(opera epiclese) Lastly, I would realign the Clementine line to avoid going through a mountain as that is unnecessary construction expense but since it already exists its already sunk cost. Secondly, the alignment would be further west and a station added for Poisson. Since the line goes over southern Elynas, a station there for the Melusines and the couple human settlements there too would be nice. Additionally, the aquaducts are too narrow and only support one boat at a time limiting frequency which gets worse with longer routes. They can add a section in the middle with double width known as a passing track or passing lane. This will allow a boat for each direction and pass each other at the middle doubling frequency. You can add 3 passing segments(two of which can coincide with stations) for 4 boats. Instead of double tracking, passing tracks would be much cheaper.

[@xChaosFlower]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who realized that Fontaine's layout makes no sense. I like to imagine it's bigger than it actually is and getting to the opera house would be easier than a single aquabus. It looks wildly inconvenient

[@kitsune7072]

Love this kind of videos hehe. Regarding the topic of getting out of Fotaine's city through only the aquabuses, there's actually an elevator inside the city that leaves you outside the city skirts/wall, however you probably didn't find it because is in an inconvenient place, you have to climb into the water channels above the city (you can climb through the building in which Neuvilette lives or through the aquabuses station). You have to walk on the water channels that go to the west of the city, once you are there, walk along the whole line that's above the west side of the city and in one pilar with doors that will open (if I remember correctly) an interaction option will pop to go down. Note: it's still quite an inconvenient way to transport goods into the city, not to mention that probably no-one besides the traveller or someone shady would use it because your goods and yourself would probably get soaked and if it's hard to get up there, it would also be hard to get back down into the city.

[@cloudmangalm03]

If it comes down to international trading routes, the only feasible thing to me is a whole maritime line that surrounds Teyvat up to Chenyu Vale, either making Shenznaya a bit of an isolated land with it's own port. So ships have to sail all the way north from Fontaine, over Chenyu Vale, passing Shneznaya port and Dornman up in the north of Mondstadt, to then travel southwards, passing Dragonspine, to either redirect to Inazuma, Liyue Harbor, or pass Liyue to either go to Ormos and Natlan's respective port somewhere southwest. All smaller scale commerce is transported on land through Air Slime balloons or foot merchants that use sumpter beasts, or if we go back to the potion making event, they transport it themselves. (Crazy as frick). Sumeru must get everything through Port Ormos, then thr capital gets supplied through small shipments. Commerce between Liyue and Chenyu is also probably done like that. Stone Gate is nothing but a tourism attraction that, at most, sees small merchants moving small cargo. And no other islands but Narukami will probably see development, since there's a crazy lot happening on all other islands (Nobody likes Watatsumi but themselves, so they can do whatever the frick they want.) That's the most reasonable conclusion I can come up with, until Hoyo decides to butcher the northern Teyvat continent even further and decides that, nope, more random mountains between countries up to Shneznaya.

[@FlyingNinjaish]

As much flak the Aquabus lines understandably catch in these videos, the system is younger than Navia, making it incredibly new by the standards of a world where everything else is 500+ years old. It's also unfinished, since it was constructed by a private mafioso, and it was distrupted after his affair with a Champion Duelist. The story quest for Navia actually touches on the issues, and now that the Spina has recovered from Callas' death, she says she wants to start adding more stations to each line. Will Arlechinno use her connections with the Spina to invest in the project and gain influence in Fontaine? Maybe.

[@changthe10th84]

As an economist, I love this. But it's also obvious that most goods trade in Teyvat is domestic, not international. Transport costs are clearly very high. Trade financing and insurance also seems hard to come by. It seems like an international trade ship arriving (even at Liyue Harbour) would probably be an uncommon event. Most of the nations have a basically rural subsistence economy, so there isn't much value-added going on anywhere that would warrant much trade. Wine, a few specialist minerals... Fontainian industry seems to rely on energy that's exclusively available in Fontaine. The Academia doesn't seem to actually do anything at all. And the other nations are pre-industrial. So most trade in Teyvat is probably between villages and the nearest city, plus some local market days and occasional ships arriving via Liyue. In Inazuma, the "international merchant's guild" seems to be mainly Fontanians trying to invest and trade locally using foreign technology rather than selling imported goods, but they don't seem to be very successful.

I second this!

[@darksoldier6978]

Can you see how safe monstad's houses are i want to get a house there

[@Alice_Sprinkles]

Your videos always make my day, I love them!

[@passwordyeah729]

One year later: Hoyo has seen your videos and taken your feedback to heart, fixing all the issues you raised. Sikes

[@kyllernotkiller]

My favorate thing to do: applying irl logic into games

[@sleepingknight225]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="96">1:36</a> wangshu inn isn't an inn, it's restaurant. It’s a translation issue but I won’t call it mistranslation. Just the regular occurrences where you can’t find the perfect counterpart in another language/culture. So, Wanshu Inn in Chinese is 望舒客栈. 望舒= Wangshu, which is a legendary sword’s name. 客栈 is translated as inn because I guess it’s the closest we can get. In ancient China,客栈 is typically a restaurant at road for travelers to eat and rest. You can imagine it as an ancient Chinese motel, except for better quality of food, drinks and beds.

I feel like with some of the more isolated towns trade isn't needed as much because they are self sufficient due to their smaller population mostly talking about inazuma as you can see this in the tsurumi island quests

[@Aeethere]

Beerevity I love your videos!! Keep doing what you're doing, I really enjoy them :>

[@blossom9939]

Your content is pure gold

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="444">7:24</a> Aranaras only appear to people when they are kids, the traveler is a exception because of his/hers control over the elements of Teyvat, so unless they have a child conduct trade, which wouldn't be a good look on them but is entirely possible (looking at Dori), I'm not sure if that is likely to ever happen. (Just a little disclaimer, this is only what I could gather from small parts of the Aranara quest stating that information and also from Nahida's second quest, I haven't checked all the lore behind the Aranaras and I certainly do not intend to do or watch that quest from beginning to end to find something that would disprove what I said, that said, I am certainly open for discussions on that, if I am wrong then I will acknowledge it) But, great video overall, it is really interesting for Genshin to prioritize constalations matching the waypoint of liyue for example to the travel destination of their regular npcs, and I know that planning everything to the minimal details like the paths of the npcs is not on their plans for the game, but for a game that puts a lot of emphasis on details most of the times it is a bit entreating that the roads of Teyvat would be something that would be overlooked by the developers. But for a game such as genshin which releases in patches and is not completely finished I must also take into consideration the developers' point of view, maybe they were rushed to finish the region and couldn't plan out the roads, maybe they just didn't think that would be that important to connect them in a coherent way to ensure that the npcs have a clear path to the most important places of Teyvat, maybe there were cut plans for some kind of alternative map expansion that never saw the light of day because of tight schedules or anything that wouldn't allow that expansion to come, it's all just guesses we have when it comes to the development side of things, but it's still a side I would like to take into consideration.

[@harkonar4093]

as a mondstadt fan i've been waiting for Dornman Port for YEARS come on hoyo

[@uxieorsomething]

finally someone asking the REAL questions (cut to me months ago trying to figure out a direct route from inazuma to fontaine to make that one part of the scaramouche/wanderer and kaedehara ancestor storyline with dottore make sense)

[@eryscalamitas1611]

WOOWW i never knew that guy worked for Pantalone before this, if this line was in the game from the start then thats crazy, thanks for the cool detail!

[@MxgicRxse]

YOU’RE SOO UNDERRATED LMAO

[@sf-ss9ly]

I love the thunbnail for this one

[@justanotherperson3076]

I love this channel a normal amount

[@Draconicdisciple]

If you do Lynette's hangout they do explain that one part of Fontaine where theres a lift that seems to have nothing is where they import stuff from Chenyu.

[@BsnOJUtsU]

your videos are always such a joy to watch!! it would be cool if you could inspect each of the cities for how disabled-friendly they are 🤔

[@dafidrosydan9719]

It funny how fontaine back then possesed a huge navy while at the same time located inland

[@cherriesforbreakfast]

Omg lets go beerevity upload

[@CelineryuavaCh]

these are certainly some resinless behaviour titles

[@uchosewiselee6776]

Love the commentary. Just a few suggestions for the next geographical video. Would be great to identify where the villages are and the route the supposed trade would occur on the map with something like a circle or dot plus a line or dotted lines. Really enjoyed this video though

[@Beerevity]

I'll keep that in mind, thanks!

[@gradel2041]

Man i love this videos

[@thealmightysusej2309]

Truly the most sophisticated and official inspector of all time, making sure all of Teyvat fixes all errors across all nations. They'd have to listen to a voice this pretty lest everything gets destroyed

[@haruseyon]

Observations like these really tickles my imagination thinking about how a "realistic" <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="61">1:1</a> scale of Teyvat would actually look like. So much of Teyvat is clearly omitted if not forgotten by devs, and these amazing videos clearly show that

[@rahadatulrizkyramadhan8401]

Yo this is a great video idea. Ive been thinking this since the fontaine release

[@quantumlandbooks4005]

To be fair, Paimon acknowledged the teleport waypoints work.
