Genshin Impact’s Candlelit Revel: What Players Need to Know Now
The moon descends, candles flicker, and Genshin Impact signals the launch of its newest major event: Candlelit Revel. With promises of new cosmetics, themed actions, and a night of magical revelry, this event marks a crucial moment for both veteran players and newcomers eager for fresh rewards. Here’s why Genshin Impact’s latest event is a priority—and what everyone needs to plan around now that 4.X patch cycles accelerate the pace for Primogem farming and banner decisions.
Players logging in can expect not only a distinctive festival vibe, but also a renewed focus on exclusive event tasks, limited-time cosmetics, and—potentially—long-lost secrets. This guide breaks down what’s confirmed, what’s hinted, and how to maximize your event run, especially if you’re eyeing upcoming banners or strategizing for a future rerun.

Banner Schedule & Pull Considerations
Details regarding explicit banners tied to this event were not stated in official materials. However, based on previous Genshin Impact event patterns, large-scale festivals typically coincide with high-value character/weapon banners or notable reruns.
Recommendation:
– F2P and low-spend players should monitor banner rotations closely. Major events frequently coincide with limited banner reruns—saving pity or Intertwined Fates until phase details are confirmed is prudent. Refer to our latest banner strategies for current and forecasted wish priorities.

Event Tasks, Rewards & Progression
The Candlelit Revel preview suggests a mix of solo and party-based activities, echoing prior festival events like Lantern Rite and Windblume. While the specifics are not disclosed in the preview, players should expect:
- Daily Themed Challenges: Complete minigames or social tasks for event points.
- Progression Milestones: Accumulate points or tokens toward unlocking cosmetics, actions, and Primogems.
- Limited-Time Cosmetics: As called out in HoYoverse’s statement, reference images for “Manekin” cosmetics are illustrative—actual in-game visuals may vary.
Guidance: Complete all daily and cumulative event objectives promptly. Delays can lock you out of limited rewards. Expect material bundles (ascension, weapon mats) alongside Primogem rewards as key incentives.
Preparation Checklist: Pre-Event To-Do’s for Optimal Gains
To maximize your event experience:
- Clear Daily Commissions: Don’t let regular dailies expire to make space for time-limited event objectives.
- Pre-farm Common Ascension Materials: Festivals often deliver upgrade items—having stash space and resin ready helps you capitalize on windfalls.
- Set Team Rotations: Be ready to adapt your main party with potential event-based bonuses (e.g., elemental resonance, trial characters).
- Sync With Patch Notes: Watch for pre-patch announcements for any prerequisite quests or eligibility conditions tied to the new content.
Day-1 Priorities: First Steps When the Event Goes Live
- Log in promptly after patch maintenance to avoid missing early participation or registration bonuses.
- Claim introductory event questlines from the event panel ASAP.
- Scan the active banner lineup before investing wishes, especially if you’re close to soft/hard pity.
- Check the in-game event tab for the latest rules and eligibility—requirements can sometimes shift even after previews go live.
