Read on for all the details of the new additions and quality of life improvements to Genshin Impact!
City Reputation
What is City Reputation? Well it’s a new system coming with Ver.1.1. which allows a player’s main character to to earn Reputation by completing requests fromNPCs. The more requests you complete, the more reputation you will earn, unlocking a number of Reputation Rewards.
City Reputation Requirements:
In order to start earning reputation, you need to fulfill the following requirements, which should be no problem for those who have been playing this game regularly since launch (even casual players like me can do it!). Reputation is split into Mondstadt and Liyue Reputation systems:
Mondstadt Reputation
Once players have unlocked the Mondstadt Reputation system, you can talk tot he Knights of Favonius Coordinator called Hertha to check your progress.
Liyue Reputation
Complete the Archon Quest “Farewell, Archaic Lord” Chapter I: Act II
After gaining the Liyue Reputation system, visit Ministry of Civil Affairs Secretary, Ms. Yu to check your Liyue progress.
How to Gain Reputation
There are 4 ways to increase your reputation:
1)Region Quests: You can complete various quests in bothMondstadtandLiyue.
2)World Exploration: These include a number of activities:
3)Bounties: Hunt down and defeat bounty targets to increase your Reputation for that city. A new list of Bounties will reset every Monday. Completing a maximum of 3 bounties a week across all cities.
4)Requests: you’re able to complete requests from NPCs to increase your Reputation in that particular city that they reside in. Requests will also refresh every Monday. You can complete up to 3 requests total each week across all cities.
Reputation Rewards
And now what you can get your hands on, if you complete these activities. As you unlockReputation Level(yes a new leveling system is here), you will gain rewards such as gadge Blueprints, special city features, namecards, recipes forCooking, wind gliders, and other rewards. The first example that miHoyo has posted is the Azure Wind Glider. Previously there hasn’t been a way to gain new cosmetics apart from the reward for the launch and the platform exclusive glider for PS4. This means we can gain new cosmetics with some grind, plus other rewards that will be very helpful in exploring Teyvat.
Reputation Gadgets
You can gain blueprints for the Anemoculous Resonance Stone & Geoculus Resonance Stone. These handy items will allow you to search for Elemental Oculus within a circular radius on the map. Once it detects an Oculus on your minimap, the blue circle will disappear. You can only use one Stone type at a time, and there is a cooldown of 300 seconds after use. You can only use Anemoculous Resonance Stone in Mondstadt, and the Geoculus Resonance Stone in Liyue.
Wind Catcher
Another useful reward is the Wind Catcher. A little similar to Venti’s ability to create updrafts for exploring the world. But unlike Venti’s abilitySkyward Sonnet, The Wind Catcher instead stores a maximum of 5 Anmemograna, which will be stored automatically in your Wind Catcher and cannot be used while in battle. Once the Wind Catcher’s wind current has been emitted, it will have a cooldown of 100 seconds before it can be used again.
Condensed Resin
Yes, there will be another form of Resin added. While we do know the Original Resin is getting an increased max cap of 160 from 120, there is now the addition of Condensed Resin. The Blueprint can be obtained from reaching Reputation Level 3 in Liyue.
The benefit of using Condensed Resin is to gain two sets of rewards at one time. While the sets are still at random, this could save you some time.
How to Use:
At a Crafting Bench, consume 1 Crystal Core, 40 Original Resin, and 100 Mora to create 1 Condensed Resin. Condensed Resin can be used to revitalize Ley Line Blossoms and Petrified Trees in Domains that require 20 Original Resin, yielding 2 sets of rewards at one time. (Both sets of rewards are random.)
you may only have a maximum of 3 Condensed Resin at one time.
This handy meal in a pouch (um…yum?) can be used to replenish a character’s health/or revive without the need of opening your inventory. The gadget can only hold either one HP-recovery dish or one type of revival dish. The NRE will also provide a dish choice that will best match your party’s situation automatically. This could useful if you’re out of food, and need a quick boost, without needing to open up the Menu as there is a dedicated keybind.
Adepti Seeker’s Stove
This live portable stove can be obtained by gaining Reputation Level 5 in Liyue. you may easily setup a stove anywhere in the open world, and cook some delicious food. The stove is temporary, and will enter cooldown for 300 seconds, after which is will disappear. There are limitations to this stove, don’t expect to whip out the pot in mid-combat, the stove will break if you enter a combat area.
Portable Waypoint
For this gadget you will need to reach Reputation Level 6 in Mondstadt to gain the blueprint. Just like all the gadgets this one is also temporary, however it lasts up to 7 days. You can plonk down a Waypoint in areas that you may want to visit daily. There are restrictions as you can only have one Portable Waypoint at a time, and there is a 60 second cooldown before you can create a new one.
Anemo Treasure Compass & Geo Treasure Compass
After gaining Reputation 6 in Mondstadt you can gain a Blueprint for the Anemo Treasure Compass, to track chests in the Mondstadt area. After gaining Reputation 6 in Liyue you can gain a blueprint for the Geo Treasure Compass, to track chests in the Mondstadt area. This handy item will enter cooldown for 5 seconds if no chest is found. If a chest is located, it will enter a cooldown for 30 seconds. You can only use the corresponding compass with its region.
City Item Feature Unlockables

Quality of Life Improvements
While this guide concentrates on the new reputation system, you should also be aware a number of improvements have been made with this update.
All in all, this update certainly adds a number of changes and looks to offer a lot of free-to-play content, but I’m curious to see how fast it will be to gain these new reputation levels. There is also the additionalcharacters, new storylines and first season event to look forward to.
