Bounties in Genshin Impact: Are They Worth Your Precious Time? (Spoiler: Maybe)
So, you’re exploring Teyvat. Battling hilichurls, dodging ruin guards. Making trouble for local wildlife. But are you improving your Adventure Rank? Let’s discuss bounties, the side tasks from the Adventurers’ Guild. Do they help you climb the AR ladder? Or are they just monster hunts for small rewards?
Do Bounties Actually Boost Your Adventure Rank?
Here’s the deal. Do bounties in Genshin Impact give you Adventure EXP? Not really. They are about reputation, not fame. Your Adventure Rank won’t see big jumps. Instead, you get Reputation EXP for the nation or tribe that gave you the bounty. It’s about being the local hero, one hilichurl camp at a time.
Bounty Rewards: How Much Reputation EXP Are We Talking?
Bounties help reputation, not Adventure Rank. So how much Reputation EXP can you earn? It varies by difficulty. But expect to get between 60, 80, 100, or even 120 Reputation EXP per bounty. Not too bad for some monster hunting, especially if you’re trying out a new character build.
Weekly Bounty Limits: Don’t Get Too Greedy Now
Before you dream of being a bounty-hunting machine, stop. Genshin Impact allows 3 bounties per week. This limit applies across all nations and tribes. You can’t just jump from Mondstadt to Liyue to Inazuma for more bounties. Choose wisely, adventurer.
Fast Track to Adventure Rank: Bounties and Beyond
Bounties may not be the fastest way up that AR ladder, but they’re part of it. If you want to level up faster, here’s the inside scoop on real speed boosters:
- Daily Commissions: Your go-to for consistent Adventure EXP. They are quick and add up quickly. Think of them as daily chores with monster slaying.
- Bosses: World and weekly bosses drop solid Adventure EXP and character materials. It’s a chance to showcase your team.
- Domains: Loot-filled dungeons with more enemies. They offer good Adventure EXP and artifacts too.
- Adventurer’s Handbook: Completing tasks earns you surprising Adventure EXP, especially early on.
- Quests: Any quest gives you Adventure EXP. Dive into Teyvat’s mysteries and level up!
- Map Exploration: Simply walking around unlocks Adventure EXP. Activate waypoints and find chests.
Other Avenues for Adventure EXP: Because Variety is the Spice of Teyvat
There are other ways to grab Adventure EXP and keep it interesting:
- Chests: Hidden, common, and exquisite chests are everywhere. They often contain Adventure EXP and more. Plus, opening them is satisfying.
- Adventurer Handbook (Experience Tab): You can claim rewards for defeating enemies or cooking dishes. Easy Adventure EXP.
- Spending Original Resin: Using it on bosses or domains efficiently converts it to Adventure EXP. Think of it as fuel for your rank climb.
Need 1000 Adventure EXP, Stat? Resin is Your Friend
Need a quick boost? Spend all 160 Original Resin on world bosses or domains. You can expect around 1000 Adventure EXP, depending on what you spend it on. If you want those ranks fast, Resin is your emergency button.
Adventure Rank and World Level: The Power Curve
Your Adventure Rank affects the world around you. Reaching Adventure Rank 55 is a key milestone. Your World Level jumps to 8, the highest level in the game. Congrats on reaching peak difficulty (for now).
Co-op Mode: Leveling Up with Friends (or Strangers)
Want to experience Teyvat with friends? Co-op mode unlocks at Adventure Rank 16. Complete “Prologue: Act I – The Outlander Who Caught the Wind.” Team up, tackle domains, and share Adventure EXP rewards.
Character Leveling: A Mora Sinkhole (But Necessary)
Let’s touch on character leveling. Leveling a character from 80 to 90? Prepare to spend Mora and Hero’s Wits. Almost 171 Hero’s Wits are needed, plus Mora. That’s just for levels. Talent leveling costs a fortune too.
Daily Commissions: Seriously, Do Them
Daily Commissions are among the fastest and easiest ways to get Adventure EXP. They don’t take long, and rewards are good. Make them part of your routine if you want to rank up fast. Adventure Rank 12 unlocks these daily tasks.
Speed Leveling Tip: Ley Line Outcrops for the Win
Want a quick Adventure EXP boost in the early game? Head to Ley Line Outcrop bosses in Mondstadt. They are low-level and easy to defeat, offering 100 Adventure EXP.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Online: Bounties in the Wild West (A Quick Detour)
Speaking of bounties, let’s glance at Red Dead Online. The Bounty Hunter role is a career path there. Completing a base Legendary Bounty nets you 1000 Bounty Hunter EXP. A 5-star bounty multiplies it to 1500. In RDO, target number doesn’t change EXP payout unlike Genshin’s variable rewards.
So, back to Genshin Impact. Are bounties worth your time? For Reputation? Yes. For direct Adventure Rank boosts? Not really. However, they are part of Teyvat’s experience and help your progression. Plus, monster hunting is fun! Just remember, you won’t hit Adventure Rank 60 solely through bounties. Mix it up, explore, and quest to level up those ranks.
