Genshin Impact Alchemical Ascension Event: How to play
The goal of this event is to cultivate ingredients that will be used to concoct potions which will be sold to earn revenue. The event rewards are given based on the total revenue earned.
Cultivating Ingredients
Different cultivation areas can be assigned ingredients separately. After a certain number of operation cycles, your ingredients will mature and can be harvested. Once you complete this harvest, the cultivation area will automatically cultivate the previously selected ingredients. The cultivation progress of ingredients will not be saved, if you change the ingredients, assigned to the cultivation area.
After your Alchemy Level increases, you can unlock more cultivatable ingredients.
You will also be able to go to Freda to buy cultivation area expansion, allowing you to cultivate more ingredients at the same time.
Concocting Potions
At the start of every operation cycle, you will be given a grid and ingredients that will come in different shapes. The goal is to pick and arrange the ingredients to cover as much of the grid as possible and increase the tuning rate to 100% or beyond.
You can buy improved alchemy cauldrons from Freda.
Selling Potions
Head over to the potion stall to stock potions to be sold. Check the market news to know which kind of potions are selling well and stock those kinds of potions. The type of the potion is shown next to its name.
After stocking potions and harvesting ingredients, go to Lisa and click “end cycle.” This will end the current operation cycle. In the next cycle, revenue earned from sales will be added to your wallet and ingredients will be ready to be harvested.
