Why Are You Stuck at Adventure Rank 35 in Genshin Impact?
So, you’re cruising through Teyvat, exploring, battling, and generally enjoying the world of Genshin Impact. But suddenly, your progress grinds to a halt. You’re racking up Adventure EXP (Adventure Experience Points), but your Adventure Rank (AR) stubbornly refuses to budge past AR 35. What gives?
The short and sweet answer is: you need to complete the Adventure Rank Ascension Quest 2. This quest is automatically added to your quest log when you hit AR 35, and finishing it is the key to unlocking higher Adventure Ranks and advancing to World Level 4. Think of it as a gatekeeper, ensuring you’re strong enough to handle the increasingly challenging content that awaits. If you don’t level up your World Level, your Adventure Rank will be stuck.
Let’s dive deeper into why this happens and what you need to do to break through that AR 35 barrier, and keep your Genshin Impact journey moving forward.
Understanding Adventure Rank and World Level
Before we get into the nitty-gritty, it’s crucial to understand the relationship between Adventure Rank and World Level. They’re two sides of the same coin, each influencing the other.
-
Adventure Rank (AR): This represents your overall progress in the game. You increase it by earning Adventure EXP, primarily through completing quests, opening chests, defeating enemies, and claiming daily commissions. Higher AR unlocks new features, quests, and areas.
-
World Level: This dictates the difficulty of the enemies you encounter and the quality of the rewards you receive. A higher World Level means tougher foes but also better loot from bosses, domains, and Ley Line Outcrops.
Essentially, your Adventure Rank determines how far you can progress, while your World Level sets the stage for the challenges you’ll face.
The Adventure Rank Ascension Quest 2: Your Ticket to Progress
At Adventure Rank 25, 35, 45, and 50, Genshin Impact throws a curveball. You’ll reach an Adventure Rank cap. At AR 35, you hit that roadblock. Gaining more Adventure EXP won’t automatically push you to AR 36. Instead, you need to undertake a special quest: Adventure Rank Ascension Quest 2.
This quest isn’t just a formality. It’s a test of your capabilities, designed to ensure you’re prepared for the increased difficulty of World Level 4. It typically involves:
- Completing a specific domain or challenge: This usually requires defeating waves of enemies or completing a timed trial.
- Defeating a world boss: This tests your ability to handle tougher enemies with unique attack patterns.
Once you successfully complete the Adventure Rank Ascension Quest 2, your World Level will increase to 4, and your Adventure Rank cap will be lifted, allowing you to continue leveling up to AR 36 and beyond.
Finding and Completing the Quest
So, how do you find this elusive quest? It’s usually pretty straightforward:
- Check Your Quest Log: Open your quest log (usually by pressing “L” on PC or navigating through the menu on mobile/console).
- Look for the “Adventure Rank Ascension Quest 2”: It should be listed under “World Quests”. If you don’t see it, make sure you’ve actually reached AR 35.
- Follow the Quest Markers: The quest will guide you to the relevant location, usually near the Adventurers’ Guild.
- Complete the Objectives: Pay attention to the quest instructions and prepare your team accordingly. Make sure your characters are adequately leveled, equipped with decent weapons and artifacts, and that you have a balanced party composition to deal with various enemy types.
If you’re struggling with the quest, consider:
- Lowering Your World Level (Temporarily): If you’re having a really tough time, you can temporarily lower your World Level by one. This will make the enemies in the quest easier to defeat.
- Seeking Help from Other Players: Genshin Impact has a thriving community. Ask for advice or even team up with other players to tackle the quest together.
Beyond AR 35: What Awaits
Once you break through the AR 35 barrier, a whole new world of content opens up. You’ll gain access to:
- Higher-Level Domains: These offer better rewards, including more valuable artifacts and talent level-up materials.
- More Challenging Enemies: Prepare for stronger foes with more complex attack patterns.
- Increased Material Drops: Farm ore and other materials in abundance to fuel your character level-ups.
- Access to More Character Ascension Materials: Unlock your character’s full potential through the AR rank ups.
So, don’t let that AR 35 block get you down. Complete the Adventure Rank Ascension Quest 2, and prepare to dive into a richer, more rewarding Genshin Impact experience!
