How to Start Genshin Impact in 2025: Top 5 Tips for Beginners

[@Kiterios00]

3:23 Just a small mistake to correct: "And you get these prizes when you do so", while gesturing to Ascension Materials with cursor. Fyi to any new players watching this, the Ascension Material section is the materials cost required to ascend. Some ascension levels do have a reward which is indicated below.

@@Kiterios00 you're totally right. Pinning your comment thank you

Honestly one of the first beginner guides see focus on having you want to play the game instead of going into the game trying to max out everything and overwhelm yourself.

I've actually been eyeing this game for years and have been planning to start. I'm excited about the 5 years of content, the huge world, the story (I’m actually big fan of lore based games) and overall everything in this game feels endless. That's why it's a little scary to start. I started today and I'm really trying not to overwhelm myself and quit. 🙏 The other game that got me into gacha is Wuwa, but honestly I'm not a fan of sexualized waifus, so I feel like I need a break. I hope Genshin will give me a different vibe. Thanks to this vid :)

[@YeddoYT]

@@Aznvamori oooo have fun and good luck! Genshin had some sexual vibes but it's pretty toned down compared to other games

[@SayanGhosh7874]

As a lore enjoyer believe me you won't be disappointed. You will smile, you will cry, you will feel proud, genshin is a great game if you don't bothered by the dialogues.

I started about 3 months after the game released. Then dropped it till about 3 months ago. So glad i waited cause the grind is real love this world so much from the chasm to natlan brilliant hopefully we will get the new city and area added on 6.0 but higly doubt it

[@YeddoYT]

I have 2 additional optional tips. Especially for day one players. The beach you start at has a small island just off the beach. Its barely reachable with your starting stamina but it is reachable. On this Island is a chest. Its a luxurious chest and is the best kind of chest you can get. This can start you with a decent weapon or atrifact or possibly both. The second tip will take a bit of research. But as soon as Liyue is available you can actually reach Sumeru. There are 2 different ways to get there. You can find a Sumeru Statue of Seven. Use the MC (main character) and touch it. You can activate the Dendro traveler which is still the best version of the traveler in the game. This also unlocks a few powerful elemental reactions that are likely unavailable to you until you win the free Collie. Having the Dendro traveler will make much of the early game content very easy, which might be positive or negative depending on how you look at it. But will make the MC a major playable character for you for a good while.

You forgot about most rare, limited 3 star weapons, dark sword (only 2 exists, you can get those from npcs), and white tassel (about 7? exists in liyue chests), they're not in any gacha, store, or anywhere. You use them as fodder - and you loose those forever. Also, there is some noteworthy world quests, like: masked shrine maiden, cat shrine, enkanomiya, foggy island, cursed aranara questline, jeckt and narzissenkreuz. Those are noteworthy, and as good as main questline (maybe even better at some parts).

[@YeddoYT]

@@NemesisN6 white tassel is a good add. And definitely some world quests are a banger

[@NemesisN6]

@@YeddoYT Dark Iron Sword is actually good at R1 if you're going for cheap EM builds in early game. And It's really easy to get first one, just talk to npc in liyue. And btw, it's only 20EM worse than craft one, and you don't need ATK in EM build. (And don't mess up, Dark Iron Sword 3* rare EM weapon, and black sword is BP, paid one, 4* and it's for crits.) Damn, i messed up, and actually switched their names again. Edits!

i gotta say bro you did a fantastic job. the first few mins i felt no difference from the bigger channels in tone, delivery, and editing was good too. then i look and see 45 subs, well it 46 now man gl on ur wishes too.

[@logikx1325]

13:50 You are not guaranteed the 5 star you want at 90 wishes. You are guaranteed A 5* at 90 wishes. There is a 50% chance it will be the character you want. IF it is not the character you want THEN after 90 MORE wishes you are then guaranteed the 5 star you want. Meaning it is 180 wishes to guarantee a character.

[@logikx1325]

21:00 Story/World quests often do have a lot to do with the main story. Not always, but often. The folks who were confused by what was going on in Natlan, are the ones who skipped them all.

[@YeddoYT]

@@logikx1325 you're right thank you, I misspoke. In the description 👍

[@thearchivist250]

The easiest way to explain to a new player - Genshin is normal well-made open world, action RPG with a wishing/gambling system welded on top. This system is how one obtains premium characters/weapons. However, the entire story and regular quests are beatable with free normal 4-star characters, and you will get some of the premium stuff by simply playing. You will never come close to obtaining every character or weapon, so only go for things you enjoy. Genshin makes money by FOMO and people spending money for extra wishes on the premium stuff. A regular AAA game costs $70. That will get you ONE 5-star character (not even guaranteed) in Genshin. It’s okay to spend if you know exactly what you want, but you will get plenty of cool stuff for free. Primogems and Resin are the gate limiting resources so protect them until you really need them. Once they are gone, they are gone, and you only get them back with time or money. Biggest tips I wish I knew. 1. Do NOT use fragile resin until adventure rank 45. That is when you unlock guaranteed 5 star artifacts, and then you use resin to farm them faster. 2. Only use primogems on wishes. That is how your account advances. You can use primogems to get extra resin, but it’s never worth it. The game intentionally frontloads free resources to make you think that’s normal, then it magically dries up. It really is an amazing game that gets better the deeper you go, but set yourself up for success with patience. Not sure why the algorithm brought me here, but this was a nice video. Subscribed.
