So, miHoYo announced that The Genshin effect Update 2.7 will be delayed. This can make people wonder what they could have done before that? Updates are promised ahead of launch, but there’s still a degree of uncertainty. Especially since we don’t have The Genshin effect Event calendar taking into account latency. However, there is still a lot more people can do in the meantime.
Participate The Genshin effect Daily Commissions and Battle Pass Activity.
There are some built-in operations for updates while waiting for the next limited time events to execute. First, it’s the Battle Pass activities. This is essentially a daily and weekly to-do list for rewards. Every day you can get points for logging in, completing all four Daily Commission missions, mining 10 items and using up 150 Original Resin. 10 items can even be completed by sending characters on expeditions, so you don’t really yes to perform any mining operations.
As for weekly activities, they can be done in a day or over the course of a week. For example, you can cook 20 dishes, forge 20 dishes, and Trouble Zone objectives in a single session. (I want to revisit Dvalin, Childe, Signora, and Raiden Shogun myself.) You can even get 10 pieces of furniture created in the Serenitea Pot in one day, if you choose the right timing. You’ll need to spread 15 Domain Challenges, 10 boss fights with enemies, and 20 Line Deposit Challenges over a couple of days, which is fine. There is no sense of hurry.
Then there’s the Daily Commission. Sure, they can be repetitive. You will probably deliver a lot of food to Sara at Good Hunter and help Zhihua look for a lot of signs. However, 60 Primogem per day will increase. It also helps to get those Story Keys. Because you know Yelan will probably get her own Story Quest when she shows up. We may also see more Hangout Quests when 2.7 also shows up.
Speaking of which…
Catch up with The Genshin effect Story Quests and Hangout Events!
Anyone else automatically unlocks Story Events and Hangout Quests the second they appear The Genshin effect, then do not do them? Is me. I do it. I want to use up my Story Keys, but then get distracted by something else.
Well, since we don’t know how long the delay is until The Genshin effect The 2.7 update is coming, now is a good time to get those things off your disk. Maybe set them aside and do two to three per week, so you can catch up. (On the plus side, that means you won’t have to worry about characters getting “busy” and keeping you from completing other quests when 2.7 drops.)
As for the Hangout Event, now is a good time to get an extra end. Doing so will give you additional Memories of the Heart rewards and achievements.
Complete all quests related to The Chasm.
Have a lot of work to do in The Chasm area of Liyue! Which means this is a good way to spend time in the meantime The Genshin effect Update 2.7. There’s a brand new Archon Quest called Requiem of the Echoing Depths. It is a pretty important one.
Before you can begin that, however, you need to get past the halfway point of a new World Quest storyline called The Chasm Delvers. This opens up underground mines where the new Archon Quest awaits. This includes a total of six sections. You must get to The Heavenly Stone’s Debris, part four, before you can reach Dainsleif in the underground mines.
All of that will probably take you a few hours.
Then you might want to check out some other New World Quests related to The Chasm? For example, there is The Millennial Mountains. It involves finding six items, each associated with their own quests. Wang will give it to you at The Chasm’s Maw. If you’re really in The Chasm’s mines, you can always help Fatui in a company Move into the Abyss or Get Lost in Strange Lands. I recommend finding other World Quests in the area after completing The Chasm Delvers. The reason for this is twofold. The first is because you will actually meet some of them while completing them. The second is because some, like the Hydrographic Survey in The Chasm, won’t unlock until you’ve completed that quest.
You may also want to spend some time fighting the Ruin Serpent every day for a week or so. In addition to helping to remove the entry on the “10 boss battles” list in the Battle Pass, you’ll be starting accumulate Runic Fangs. No one has used it as an ascension item yet. However, since this is a Liyue boss and Yelan is a new Liyue character, it might be an item you need to get her. It never hurts to have 10 or 20 items in hand, just in case.
Collect character ascension material for Itto and Xiao.
Okay. MiHoYo has not announced which characters rerun the banner that will appear after Ayaka’s banner. All we know is that Yelan and Kuki Shinobu are confirmed for 2.7. But rumors suggest that itto and Xiao rerun banners will appear in the game soon. If you’re thinking about giving either of them a try, getting your character’s ascension material ahead of time can help!
For Itto, the two difficult items that you need are Onikabutos and Riftborn Regalias. The former are bugs that you can find on the Inazuma islands of Kannazuka, Narukami, Seirai, and Yashiori. I find the easiest to get are in the caves below the Raiden Shogun’s house in Narukami and near the mines in Yashiori. For the Riftborn Regalia, it was a drop from the fight with the boss Golden Wolflord on Tsurumi Island. You can get to this fight without having to go through the quest to remove the fog from the island. You will need 168 Onikabuto and 46 Riftborn Regalia to bring him to level 80. He will also need various Prithiva Topaz blocks and Slime Condensate, Secretion and Concentrate drops.
For Xiao, he will also need a Thickener, a Slime, and a Concentrate. Though you will only need Vayuda Turquoise for his stone. “Difficulty” to obtain items for him is 46 Juvenile Gems and 168 Toxin Bars. The former was a Primo Geovishap drop. It’s in Minlin in Liyue. Make sure you have someone who can create a shield, like Noelle, Thoma, Xinyan or Zhongli, on hand for that normal boss fight. As for Qingxins, those are flowers that only grow on top of cliffs and mountains in Liyue. However, you can also plant them in your Serenitea pots, which really helps with their collection.
The Genshin effect available for PS4, PS5, PC and mobile devices. A Nintendo Switch version is in development. The The Genshin effect Update 2.7 will be delayed.
