How to Play Genshin Impact Alchemical Ascension Event
Brewing Up Success: A Step-by-Step Guide
The Alchemical Ascension event revolves around a three-step cycle: crafting in-demand potions, gathering ingredients, and selling your creations for profit. Let’s delve deeper into each step.
1. Concocting Potions
Head to the Concocting Potions stage to unleash your inner alchemist. Here, you’ll encounter a puzzle minigame where you strategically place ingredients on a grid to craft potions.
But wait, there’s more to it than just mixing liquids! To truly maximize profits, consult the market news by pressing the right D-Pad. This will reveal which potions are in high demand, allowing you to tailor your creations accordingly.
Each ingredient possesses a unique symbol that influences the potion’s characteristics. Here’s a quick rundown of the potion types and their corresponding ingredients:
- Strength: Jueyun Chili, Flaming Flower
- Constitution: Calla Lily, Sweet Flower
- Wisdom: Qingxin, Windwheel Aster
- Charisma: Sumeru Rose, Glaze Lily
- Dexterity: Dandelion, Horsetail
- Balanced: Mushroom, Berry
By placing ingredients that match the symbol on the grid, you’ll create a potion with that specific effect. The goal is to fill the Tuning Rate bar above 100% for maximum potency.
Once you’ve crafted a base potion, consider taking it a step further. Each cycle allows you to enhance your potion a few times using the “Enhance Potion” option. This will significantly boost its selling price.
2. Cultivating Ingredients
Now that you’ve got a potent potion brewing, it’s time to gather the necessary ingredients. Head to the harvest stage, select a cultivation area, and choose the materials you need. Remember, prioritize materials required for high-demand potions.
Need more space to grow your ingredients? Look no further than Freda! She can provide additional cultivation areas, allowing you to harvest larger quantities. Remember, harvested materials become available after a specific cycle is complete.
3. Selling Your Stock
Head to your stall and navigate to the Potion Stock section. Here, you can list the potion you’ve created for eager customers.
Don’t forget to consult your Operation Handbook! This handy tool keeps track of completed tasks within each cycle. Make sure you’ve maximized your potential before moving on.
Once you’re done selling, it’s time to move on to the next cycle. You can either visit Lisa’s table or click “Next Cycle” in your handbook. Remember to visit Freda for any upgrades before embarking on a new cycle.
