The Serenitea Pot in Genshin Impact is more than just a customizable home; it’s a place where you can invite your favorite characters to live, relax, and even reward you with precious Primogems. But how many companions can you actually host in your personal realm?
The short answer is: You can host a maximum of eight companions in your Serenitea Pot after achieving the highest Trust Rank with Tubby. This means you can create a vibrant and lively atmosphere with a small group of your most cherished characters.
Let’s dive deeper into the mechanics and intricacies of managing companions in your Serenitea Pot.
Understanding Companion Slots in the Serenitea Pot
The number of companion slots available in your Serenitea Pot isn’t immediately capped at eight. You unlock these slots progressively as you increase your Trust Rank with Tubby, the teapot spirit. Here’s a breakdown:
- You start with a limited number of slots.
- Additional slots unlock after Tubby reaches Trust Rank five.
- Each rank after five will give you an additional companion slot, until you reach Trust Rank eight and have a total of eight slots.
- You need to work on completing various tasks and crafting items for Tubby to increase your Trust Rank.
This system ensures that players who are actively engaging with the Serenitea Pot system are rewarded with more space to house their companions.
Why is Increasing Trust Rank Important?
Increasing your Trust Rank with Tubby is essential not only for unlocking companion slots but also for expanding the features of your Serenitea Pot. Higher Trust Ranks unlock:
- New crafting recipes for furniture and other realm items.
- Access to more of the realm’s customization features.
- Access to the Realm Depot, where you can purchase various blueprints, including the Furnishing Sets your companions like.
- Higher Adeptal Energy capacity.
Managing Your Companions
Once you have your companion slots unlocked, remember that:
- Each companion you place in your Serenitea Pot will add to the realm’s load. This means you will have to manage the amount of furniture placed in your realm.
- Each companion has a favorite Furnishing Set. Placing them near their preferred set allows you to receive 20 Primogems per character, making it an excellent way to collect this precious currency.
- You can obtain the blueprints for these Furnishing Sets in the Realm Depot.
Carefully choosing which companions to invite, placing them near their favorite sets, and properly managing the load in your Serenitea Pot are all important aspects of maximizing your benefits from this system.

You can find the preferred Furnishing Set for each character in the Serenitea Pot menu under the character details. Each character will have their own specific set that you need to place them by to collect your Primogems.
8. Does Trust Rank Increase Just from Inviting Companions?

11. What Happens if I Put Too Many Waypoints in My Teapot?
