Unlocking Inazuma’s Hidden Gem: Your Guide to the Souvenir Shop and Sigil Savvy
So, you’ve ventured through Inazuma in Genshin Impact. You have many Electro Sigils and wonder, “What do I do with all these pointy purple things?” Don’t worry, traveler! Inazuma has a hidden gem for you: the Souvenir Shop. But it’s a bit tricky.
The Elusive Inazuma Souvenir Shop: Patience is a Virtue (Especially in Inazuma)
Inazuma’s souvenir shop doesn’t come easily. Do not expect to find it wandering Inazuma City. This isn’t Liyue. The Inazuma Souvenir Shop hides tightly, locked up like a treasure chest guarded by a Ruin Hunter. To open it, you must commit to maxing out the Sacred Sakura Tree.
Availability: Only after you put 250 Electro Sigils into the Sacred Sakura Tree will the Souvenir Shop open its doors. Consider this the ultimate reward for your flower-loving efforts.
Unlocking Requirement: Reach Level 50 with the Sacred Sakura Tree. The shopkeeper needs to know you are serious about shopping. No casual browsers allowed.
Electro Sigils: Your Inazuma Currency of Choice
What is the currency here? Electro Sigils, of course. Those shiny purple tokens you have collected are your ticket to shopping success. Most of your Electro Sigils will go towards upgrading the Sacred Sakura Tree itself. The shop is a nice bonus.
Currency: Electro Sigils are your only accepted payment method. No Mora or Primogems accepted, keeping it regional.
Electro Sigil Grind: To unlock the shop, gather a total of 250 Electro Sigils. It’s time to hunt for chests!
What Treasures Await in the Inazuma Souvenir Shop?
You have satisfied the Sacred Sakura and finally stepped inside. What wonders await? While it may not be filled with unique gadgets, it offers practical and essential items.
Shop Inventory: Expect weapon ascension materials, Mora for expenses, and Furnishing Blueprints for your Serenitea Pot. It is open 24/7; shopkeepers here do not believe in sleep.
Gathering Electro Sigils: The Chest Hunter’s Guide
Now you know you need Electro Sigils. How do you get them? Fear not, Inazuma is filled with chests. Chests mean Sigils.
Farming Electro Sigils: Each chest you open in Inazuma rewards you with Electro Sigils. The rarer the chest, the more Sigils you will collect. It’s a treasure hunt!
Electro Sigil Quantity per Chest:
- Normal Chest: 1 Electro Sigil
- (Higher rarity chests give more, of course!)
Statues of the Seven: Leveling up the Statues of the Seven in Natlan gives you Electro Sigils too. Perhaps they meant Inazuma statues, or maybe the game hints at future adventures in Natlan. Either way, exploring statues is wise.
The Sacred Sakura Tree: Your Gateway to Inazuma’s Best Kept Secret
This Sacred Sakura Tree is key to the Souvenir Shop. It is not just any tree; offerings are needed for access to its rewards.
Location: The Sacred Sakura stands at the Grand Narukami Shrine, atop Narukami Island. It’s hard to overlook, unless you avoid giant glowing trees.
Unlocking the Sacred Sakura’s Favor: To offer Electro Sigils to this tree, reach Adventure Rank 30 and complete the quest “Ritou Escape Plan.” If you’re not AR 30 yet, keep exploring! Inazuma requires dedication.
A Quick Detour: Other Shops and Sigil Shenanigans Across Teyvat
Let’s peek at shops and Sigils in other regions.
General Goods Shops:
- Inazuma General Goods Shop: Interestingly, no general goods shop exists specifically in Inazuma. Perhaps everyone enjoys cherry blossoms and sword fighting too much.
- Sumeru General Goods Shop: You can access Sumeru’s General Goods shop by talking to Hamawi. Sumeru keeps it simple, unlike Inazuma’s hidden shop.
- Fontaine Sigil Shop: Details about a general “Fontaine Sigil Shop” remain hidden, much like a Melusine in hiding.
- Netsuke no Gen Crafts: For unique crafts in Inazuma, find Mikoshi Genichirou. But this shop also unlocks only when your Sacred Sakura hits Level 50. Inazuma loves its level 50 unlocks!
Sigil Shops Beyond Inazuma:
- Fontaine’s Fountain of Lucine: Unlock Fontaine’s equivalent by wandering near it or completing the Archon Quest “Prelude of Blancheur and Noirceur.” Fontaine seems friendlier than Inazuma.
- Natlan and Pyro Sigils: In Natlan, find Pyro Sigils everywhere from chests. Leveling up Natlan’s Statues of the Seven brings more Pyro Sigils too.
Souvenir Shops: Your Sigil-to-Goodies Converter
Let’s wrap up Souvenir Shops across Teyvat.
Souvenir Shop Basics: These shops act as Sigil exchange centers. Trade regional Sigils for useful materials and Mora. Think of it as turning exploration into rewards.
Limited Stock, Unlimited Sigils (Almost): Souvenir Shops are one-time deals and do not restock inventory. Buy everything you can! Extra Sigils can be exchanged for Mora.
Regional Souvenir Shop Love: Every major city has its own Souvenir Shop. It’s as if each region has unique souvenirs bought with local Sigil currency. Collect them all!
Your journey is clear. The Inazuma Souvenir Shop requires patience, tree-worship, and treasure hunting. Now go forth, gather those Electro Sigils, max out that Sakura Tree, and enjoy your souvenirs! Happy shopping!
