Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How do I get sigils fast in Genshin Impact?
The most reliable way to obtain sigils quickly in Genshin Impact is to open chests. Each region’s chests yield their respective sigil type. Exploring the map thoroughly and completing puzzles will reveal more chests and thus provide more sigils.

Chests do not respawn in Genshin Impact. Once a chest is opened, it will not reappear in the same location, so it’s important to prioritize maximizing your gains by exploring and opening them the first time around.

To reach the maximum level of the Tree of Dreams in Sumeru, you will need a total of 1750 Dendro Sigils, since there are 50 levels, each costing 35 sigils.
