How Many Chests Are in Genshin Impact Version 3.0? A Comprehensive Guide
Genshin Impact Version 3.0, which introduced the lush region of Sumeru, brought with it a wealth of new content, including a significant number of chests waiting to be discovered. To answer the main question directly: Version 3.0 added a total of 572 chests to the game. This substantial addition of treasure makes exploring Sumeru an incredibly rewarding experience for players, offering not just loot, but also contributing significantly to the region’s exploration progress. The breakdown of the new chests in 3.0 is as follows: 22 Luxurious Chests, 45 Precious Chests, 131 Exquisite Chests, 369 Common Chests, and 40 Remarkable Chests.
This information is crucial for players aiming to maximize their in-game resources and exploration achievements. However, remember that chest counts can sometimes vary slightly due to minor bugs, with some players reporting discrepancies of 1-3 chests, often within the seelie count, reported to be between 52-56. With that, let’s dive deeper into everything you need to know about chests in Genshin Impact, with a special focus on the implications of Version 3.0.
Understanding Chest Mechanics in Genshin Impact
The Different Types of Chests
Genshin Impact features several tiers of chests, each offering different rewards:
- Common Chests: These are the most abundant and provide the least valuable loot, typically including basic resources, Mora, and a small amount of Adventure EXP.
- Exquisite Chests: These are more difficult to find than Common Chests and provide a better haul, including more Mora and rarer resources.
- Precious Chests: These chests are less common and often guarded by enemies or puzzles. They contain even better loot, including potentially higher-tier resources.
- Luxurious Chests: The rarest and most rewarding type of chest, often hidden in secluded locations or linked to significant challenges. These chests contain the most valuable items and more primogems.
- Remarkable Chests: These unique chests, often found in special locations or events, might contain specific items.
Are Chests Limited?
A very crucial aspect of understanding chests in Genshin Impact is that, chests do not respawn. Once you’ve looted a chest, it will not reappear. There is some debate as to if they respawn, but this is anecdotal and highly debated in the community, the safest approach is to believe that they are finite and take your time exploring. However, new chests are added with each new update, and the exploration progress tracks your overall progress in each region. This adds to the total number of chests found in the game.
Chest Rewards and Primogems
Primogems, the premium currency in Genshin Impact, are a key reward from chests. However, the amount of primogems obtained varies depending on the chest’s type. Typically:
- Common Chests: Award only 2 primogems.
- Exquisite Chests: Award 5 primogems.
- Precious Chests: Award 10 primogems.
- Luxurious Chests: Award between 10 to 40 primogems, depending on the location and conditions. For example, chests within Shrine of Depths usually give 40 primogems.
This distribution makes finding Luxurious Chests particularly important for players seeking to acquire primogems and expand their roster of characters.
Chests and Exploration Progress
Tracking Your Chest Count
To track your chest count in Genshin Impact, you can do the following:
- Open the in-game menu by clicking on the options button.
- Go to the “achievements” tab.
- Here, you will find separate lists tracking the chests you have opened in each region.
This method allows players to gauge their exploration progress in Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, and others as they’re added to the game.
Region-Specific Chest Counts
Keep in mind that the number of chests varies significantly between regions. For example, Dragonspine contains approximately 241 chests. A specific region such as the Veluriyam Mirage in version 3.8 added 177 chests to the game. This variability adds to the game’s replayability, allowing for a varied experience across Teyvat.
Achieving 100% Exploration
Finding all chests is a key part of achieving 100% exploration in a region, along with other objectives, such as finding all oculi and completing time trials. For instance, 100% completion in Dragonspine also requires collecting all 80 Crimson Agates.
