Original Resin in Genshin Impact: How to Obtain and Use

Original Resin is one of the most important and valuable resources in Genshin Impact. It, being a source of energy, allows players to receive rewards for completing world and weekly bosses, dungeons, colors of the arteries of the earth, as well as special challenges. In this guide, you will learn how to get primordial resin and what to spend it on.

How to get primordial resin

Access to the original resin and the ability to use it opens at the 8th adventure rank.

There is no need to perform any special actions to get the original resin, since the resource is restored automatically, regardless of whether the game is running or not. Recovery speed - 1 pc. in 8 minutes, that is, in theory, you can get 180 units of resin per day. But this is only in theory, in practice, the resource is limited to a limit of 160 pieces, which is completely filled in 21 hours and 20 minutes. For this reason, to get all 180 units, you need to manage to spend the material on time. You can check the amount of original resin and its recovery time in the upper right corner of the screen by opening the Teyvat map.

Are those extra 20 units significant? At the beginning of the game, there is none, since at first you will not notice a lack. However, at higher ranks, even 180 units per day begins to be sorely lacking. After completing all the plots and exploring the regions, spending this resource becomes the main way to advance in the game. And for those who need more resin, there are three alternative ways to restore it.

Additional Ways to Replenish Original Resin

Fragile Resin

You can replenish 60 Primordial Resin once by using Weak Resin. You can get it by completing the Battle Pass, reaching certain Adventure Ranks, and participating in events.

Transient Resin

Unlike weak resin, transitional can be obtained in one single way - by purchasing it in teapot of serenity, provided that your abode level is higher than 6. The mechanism of operation of the transitional resin is similar to the weak one. For one thing you get 60 units of original resin.

Primogems

Six times a day, you can replenish the supply of resin with primogems. One purchase gives you 60 Resin. However, there is one feature here - each subsequent replenishment grows in price:

The maximum resin limit for manual replenishment is 2000 units.

What can you spend primordial resin on?

In fact, Original Resin is required exclusively for actions related to pumping characters and their weapons. Namely, passing the various tests indicated below.

Flowers of the arteries of the earth - 20 units

First of all, for novice players, two types of arteries of the earth are opened, allowing you to farm mora and experience books, which are necessary for pumping absolutely all characters:

• Flowers of Illumination - open at rank 8 and give the opportunity to receive books of experience, friendship points and Adventure EXP.
• Flowers of Wealth - Unlocked at adventure rank 12, they grant the opportunity to receive pestilence, Adventure EXP, and friendship points.

Dungeons - 20 units

WITH dungeons everything is much more complicated. At the time of patch 2.5, there are as many as 15 of them in the game, they are divided into three types and give their own special rewards.

• Weapon Ascension - As a reward, you will receive the materials needed to ascend weapons, friendship points and Adventure EXP. It is worth noting that on different days of the week in the same dungeon you will receive different materials. So, in Cecilia's Garden - the first player-accessible dungeon with weapon ascend materials, unlocked at rank 16 - you will receive pieces from Decarabian (Mon, Thu, Sun), Arctic Wolf (Tue, Fri, Sun) and Lion's Fang (Wed, Sat, Sun).
• Talent Boost - These dungeons reward Adventure EXP, friendship points, and talent books - a very important resource that is constantly and in large quantities necessary for leveling characters. Just like the Weapon Ascension dungeons, each day of the week has its own rewards, so keep an eye out for when the books your character needs are available.
• Artifacts - there are 9 artifact dungeons in the game, each of which farms two five-star sets. You can open the first such dungeon at adventure rank 22, but it is best to start clearing them at 45, since it is from this level that you are guaranteed to receive one golden artifact.

World bosses - 40 units

There are currently 15 in the game world bosses, each of which farms special materials needed by certain characters. So, for example, with Fern Cryo you get a Hoarfrost Core, which is used to exalt Ganyu, Dione, Keiya, Rosary, Chun Yun and Qiqi. In addition, as a reward from world bosses, you can receive friendship points, Adventure EXP, mora, elemental stones and sets of artifacts, including two five-star ones: the Wanderer’s Troupe and the Gladiator’s Finale.

Weekly bosses - 30 (first three battles of the week) / 60 units

From weekly bosses, you get rare materials needed to level up your character's talents: friendship points, Adventure EXP, mora, weapon crafting, artifact sets, including five-star ones, elemental stones and dream solvents.

You can only fight each of the 6 available bosses once a week, so remember to do this even if you don't need the items that drop from them at the moment.

All these Achievement: Challenger can be passed without original resin. However, in this case, it will not be possible to pick up the reward, so always check the amount of the resource before the battle.

Use in crafting

Original Resin is also used in the crafting of some items, namely:

• Condensed Resin - 40 units. Crafted in alchemy. Allows you to receive double rewards for completing the dungeons and flowers of the arteries of the earth, as well as preserve the original resin. The site has detailed guide on the creation and use of this material.

• Mystic Enhancement Ore x6 - 10 units. Crafted by a blacksmith and allows you to upgrade weapons. An extremely unprofitable investment, since there are many other ways to get ore without wasting resin.

For any use of resin, excluding crafting, you will earn Adventure EXP in a ratio of 1 to 5. That is, by spending 60 pcs. you will receive 300 experience points. We advise you not to neglect this fact, because at high ranks this is the main way to advance in the game.

What is the best way to spend

Original Resin is a valuable resource that must be used wisely. It is most effective to enter the game several times a day, maintaining approximately the same time intervals and spending resin. So you can get all 180 possible units of the resource per day.

If you do not have time to play in the morning or evening, then you can preserve the accumulated original resin due to the thick one and use it the next day. Thus, as many as 200 units of the resource can be saved. However, keep in mind that it will not be possible to spend it on passing world and weekly bosses.

We hope this Genshin Impact Elemental Resin guide has helped you figure out what this resource is for, how to get it, and how to best use it. We wish you good luck in the game and pumping characters!
