Welcome to Genshin Impact!
Genshin Impact is a free-to-play open-world gacha RPG from HoYoverse. Players collect characters (units) through randomized "wish" banners, assemble elemental teams, and explore regions of Teyvat. Events like the Curatorium of Secrets inject fresh stories, side missions, and unique items—making every patch cycle an opportunity for new players to leap ahead.
Your First Hour: A Step-by-Step Checklist
- Complete the tutorial quest chain (gets you familiar with controls and combat).
- Claim all daily and beginner event rewards (event UI → Event Panel).
- Talk to NPCs at the Curatorium of Secrets for your first commissions. Not stated which NPCs, but look for quest markers in the main city region.
- Download available event wallpapers from the in-game news tab or the official website (provides free visuals for use on any device).
- Check your mailbox for any Primogem codes or event bonuses.
Core Mechanics Explained
Primogems are the game’s main premium currency, used for wishing on character/event banners. Commissions are daily or event-specific tasks, often yielding Adventure EXP (for leveling up) and other resources. Early on, focus on completing all available commissions—these often require basic exploration or simple battle encounters.
Gacha Banner & Pity System
Genshin Impact uses a "pity" system to guarantee a 5-star character or weapon after a certain number of wishes (pulls), usually 90 for limited units. Pity does not reset between event cycles unless a featured unit is pulled. Not stated which banners coincide with this event—see the Genshin Impact Version Luna II: Key Details article for an exact banner roadmap.
Should You Wish Now? F2P/Low-Spend Priorities
- If you’re new: Save Primogems for upcoming limited banners unless you need more units to clear early content.
- Event wishes (if available) usually spotlight new or region-specific characters. Unless Ashru or related units are top-tier by community consensus, prioritize flexibility in team building.
- Do not spend Primogems on the Standard Banner at this stage. Prioritize event-limited banners for the best value.
Teams & Early Synergy
Start by combining free units (Amber, Kaeya, Lisa, Traveler) for elemental combo attacks known as Elemental Reactions (e.g., Overload, Superconduct).
The event does not list specific recommended teams, but Curatorium task content is typically accessible to low-level squads.
Ideal Early Game Team Examples:
– Traveler (Anemo/Geo core) + Kaeya + Amber + Noelle
– Sub in event-provided trial characters when offered.
Quick reasoning: Balance elemental types for more frequent reactions and easier combat clearing.
Event Rewards & Preparation Checklist
Notable rewards (based on prior Genshin events):
– Primogems (wishing currency)
– Enhancement Ores (weapon levelling)
– Mora (universal currency)
– Character experience materials
– Exclusive event decorations or cosmetics
What to do daily:
– Complete all commission tasks from the Curatorium.
– Collect login bonuses and check the mailbox for event gifts.

Wallpapers & Community Rewards
The Curatorium event also delivers two high-definition official wallpapers featuring Ashru and related event art (desktop and mobile resolutions).

Unconfirmed — Subject to Change
No official details have been provided regarding follow-up character banners, crossover events, or time-limited dungeons in association with the Curatorium of Secrets event. Any speculation on upcoming content should be treated as rumor until verified via Hoyoverse posts or patch notes.
Common Early Mistakes to Avoid
- Spending Primogems impulsively—save for high-value banners.
- Ignoring World Quests and side tasks that boost Adventure Rank.
- Letting resin (used to claim certain rewards) cap out—always spend daily.
- Skipping event tasks, missing out on starter resources.
Week 1 Goal: Hit Adventure Rank 20
Aim to reach Adventure Rank (AR) 20 within your first week. This unlocks the most event content, co-op mode, and deeper artifact farming. Use event commissions, daily logins, and Curatorium tasks to accelerate your rank.
Conclusion: A Fresh Start Amidst Secrets
Genshin Impact’s Curatorium of Secrets event isn’t just a narrative detour; it’s a launchpad for new player progress and seasoned collector rewards. By embracing event commissions and optimizing your early pulls, you’ll maximize Primogem farming and unlock a broader spread of characters—all while enjoying a showcase of Sumeru’s lore and artistry.
