There is a great opportunity for adventurers to return to Liyue for the festival of Lantern and to participate in the various challenges. They will also obtain some rewards exclusive to the events. What is actually coming is not yet known but we will definitely keep you updated by posting a guide about it so that you can follow it. We will do so as soon as the event is launched.

But one thing is for sure that the Ley Line Overflows will provide you extra rewards during the Lantern Rite event. You can claim these rewards for up to three times a day to get some Original Resin.

Xiao Story and Banner

The main story quest of Xiao would be available from the start of version 1.3 and would coincide with the Lantern Rite Event. In similar lines to the Albedo storyline adventurers need not worry about having the keys as you wouldn’t need them.

You can look for the Invitation to the Mundane Life featured character banner for Xiao this coming February 3rd which is along with the version 1.3 update. You can also check out the Xiao ascension materials if you are looking forward to playing Xiao.

Keqing Banner

As already mentioned above that the Keqing’s banner will be available from February 17th after the Lantern Rite event is launched. The chances are high that Adventurers can pull out a Keqing from the new banner, the Dance of the Lanterns.

Five Flushes of Fortune

In this event of Five Flushes of Fortune you can put your photography skills to test by clicking pictures of different enemies, animals, and many more with the Kurious Kamera available within this event.

Primo Geovishaps

A new mob has been designed and it is called Primo Geovishaps and it is scheduled to show up at the new event. When you kill it then it will throw up some new types of rewards or material and yes it would be exclusive to the event. This new MB is menacingly difficult to kill because it has grown accustomed to changes in its elemental environment.

Living Beings Archive

There is a new system in Genshin Impact version 1.3. this new system includes running a log of all the enemies that you have encountered. Now you can view extra stats of how many times you have defeated them and also their stats as well and much more.

Number one is a one-handed sword with a green glow that can be seen in the hands of Xingqiu and another is a polearm that can be seen in the hands of Xiangling. There is a possibility that there are few more weapons the details of which are not available to us right now.

Parametric Transformer

this new gadget has a new and wonderful capability of allowing players to convert their materials into some other random materials. With this one you can convert 150 materials at onceand convert the unused materials in some useful character and weapon enhancement resources and materials.
