Genshin Impact’s Adventure Rank: Reaching the Summit and Beyond
The world of Teyvat is vast and full of wonder, and Genshin Impact guides players through this world using the Adventure Rank (AR) system. It’s a core mechanic that unlocks content, improves character strength, and deepens the overall game experience. But at what point does the journey end? What happens when you reach the absolute peak? Let’s dive into the details of Genshin Impact’s maximum Adventure Rank and what it all entails.
The maximum Adventure Rank in Genshin Impact is currently AR 60. Once you reach this milestone, you’ve officially conquered the game’s progression system, at least for now.
The Journey to AR 60: More Than Just Levels
Reaching AR 60 isn’t a simple matter of grinding experience points. It’s a long and demanding journey that requires dedication and strategic gameplay. As you explore Teyvat, complete quests, and battle enemies, you accumulate Adventure EXP (EXP). This EXP fuels your AR progression. However, the path isn’t always smooth.
Ascension Quests and World Level
At specific Adventure Ranks (25, 35, 45, and 50), you’ll encounter a level cap. To break through these barriers, you must complete Ascension Quests. These quests typically involve challenging combat scenarios and act as a skill check, ensuring you’re ready for the tougher challenges ahead. Completing them unlocks the next tier of Adventure Ranks.
Furthermore, your World Level is intrinsically linked to your Adventure Rank. Increasing your World Level makes enemies stronger, but also increases the quality of rewards you receive from Ley Line Outcrops, Domains, and bosses. Your World Level increases automatically at AR 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55, and automatically caps at World Level 8. Balancing your World Level with your character’s strength is crucial for a smooth gameplay experience. If you feel overwhelmed, you have the option to decrease your World Level by one, making enemies easier to defeat.
What Happens After AR 60?
So, you’ve conquered Teyvat and reached AR 60. Congratulations! But what happens to all that extra Adventure EXP you continue to earn? Once you hit AR 60, any additional Adventure EXP is converted into Mora (the game’s primary currency) at a rate of 10 Mora per Adventure EXP. While Mora is always useful, some players feel this conversion rate isn’t the most rewarding outcome for the immense effort required to reach the max rank.
Frequently Asked Questions About Adventure Rank
Here are some common questions players have about the Adventure Rank system in Genshin Impact:
1. What is the highest AR in Genshin?
As mentioned earlier, the highest Adventure Rank currently attainable in Genshin Impact is AR 60.
2. Is AR 60 the last AR in Genshin?
As of now, AR 60 is the current endpoint of the Adventure Rank system. Whether or not miHoYo will increase the cap in the future is uncertain.
3. Will there be more than AR60?
Speculation about increasing the AR cap is common within the Genshin Impact community. Given the game’s ongoing development and the vast amount of content planned, it’s possible that miHoYo might introduce higher AR levels in future updates. However, there has been no official confirmation.
4. Is there an ascension quest at AR 55?
While your World Level automatically increases at AR 55, there is no ascension quest at AR 55. You only need to complete ascension quests at adventure ranks 25, 35, 45, and 50 to increase your world level and thus your maximum adventure rank.
5. Why is my AR stuck at 35?
Your AR is likely stuck because you have reached an Adventure Rank cap. At Adventure Rank 25, 35, 45, and 50 you need to do an extra quest to advance your World Level. You can get the quests from the Adventurers Guild.
6. Why is my AR stuck at 25?
Similar to the previous question, being stuck at AR 25 is not a bug. You have reached an Adventure Rank cap, and you must complete a specific type of quest, the so called ascension quest, in order to increase it further.
7. Can AR 20 go to Inazuma?
No, you cannot access Inazuma at AR 20. To access Inazuma, you must complete ‘Archon Quest Chapter II: Act I – The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia’ (main story quest), and you have to reach Adventure Rank 30 (AR 30).
8. What happens to exp after AR 60?
After Adventure Rank 60 is reached, each additional point of Adventure EXP gained is instead converted to Mora at a 1:10 ratio.
9. Who was the first player to hit AR 60?
The first reported player to reach AR 60 was a Chinese player whose achievement was showcased on BiliBili by YouTube user Revimy.
10. Should I decrease my world level?
You only need to lower your world level IF you’re having trouble killing world mobs/bosses, since their level scales with the world level. Lowering your World Level makes the game easier, but also reduces the quality of rewards.
11. Why is my AR rank not increasing?
When leveling up your Adventure Rank (AR), you will eventually hit a level cap. If you hit a level cap, your Adventure EXP will overflow, but your rank will not increase until you complete an ascension quest.
12. Can we go to Inazuma with Kaeya?
If you cleverly create an extensive ice bridge (using Kaeya’s skill) to reach Inazuma, you’re in for a rude awakening. The Electro Archon will strike you with lightning before you reach the shore.
13. How do I get to Fontaine?
The easiest method is to follow the Archon Quest Chapter IV storyline. Alternatively, anybody can get to Fontaine by using the northeastern Teleport Waypoint in the Realm of Farakhkert desert area of Sumeru – as long as you have completed the Prologue story in Mondstadt up to Act III ‘Song of the Dragon and Freedom’.
14. Should I stay at AR 45 Genshin?
It’s generally recommended to progress beyond AR 45. While AR 45 guarantees a 5-star artifact per Domain run, delaying progression limits your overall access to resources and content.
15. Is Genshin getting bigger?
Yes, Genshin Impact is continually growing in size. With each update, new content is added, resulting in a larger installation size.
The Significance of Adventure Rank
The Adventure Rank system isn’t just a number; it’s a representation of your progress, dedication, and mastery of Genshin Impact. It unlocks new areas, quests, characters, and features, constantly expanding the game’s world and providing fresh challenges. While reaching AR 60 may seem like the end of the road, it’s truly a beginning. It’s the point where you can focus on optimizing your characters, tackling the most difficult content, and helping other players experience the wonders of Teyvat.
