Unlocking Mondstadt’s Treasures: A Traveler’s Guide to Anemo Sigils and Souvenir Shops
So, you wander around Mondstadt. Chests pop open like piñatas. You have shiny Anemo Sigils. You might think, “Cool, rocks,” and forget them. But wait! These are not just trinkets. They are your ticket to useful items, perhaps even Mora if you play smart.
Anemo Sigils: Your Mondstadt Currency
Think of Anemo Sigils as local currency in Mondstadt. They are different from Mora. You cannot buy anything like a Sticky Honey Roast with them, but they unlock other treasures.
Where to Snag Anemo Sigils
Getting Anemo Sigils is straightforward. Explore Mondstadt. They will rain down from two main sources:
- Opening Chests: The chests you find while exploring? They hold more than cabbages and fowl. Open them, and many reward you with Anemo Sigils. Consider it a bonus for your adventure.
- Statues of The Seven Rewards: Those Statues of The Seven across the land? Pay respect to the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, by offering Anemoculus. This boosts stamina and showers you with Anemo Sigils. It’s Barbatos saying, “Thanks, here’s some change.”
Putting Those Sigils to Work: The With Wind Comes Glory Shop
Now that you have Anemo Sigils, what do you do? Go to Mondstadt’s Souvenir Shop, “With Wind Comes Glory.” It’s in the city, usually run by Marjorie. She turns sigils into real rewards.
Marjorie’s shop is your destination for spending Anemo Sigils. She offers many useful items, especially in early to mid-game. Think Character Ascension Materials, Weapon Enhancement Materials, and handy Gadget blueprints. It’s a treasure trove for adventurers.
Mora After the Main Course: Sigil Leftovers
A tip for seasoned travelers: after buying all from Marjorie’s shop, Anemo Sigils remain useful. Marjorie exchanges your sigils for Mora! It’s not the best method for farming Mora, but if you find more sigils, they won’t gather dust.
Souvenir Shop Secrets: What You Need to Know
Souvenir Shops appear in Teyvat’s regions, each accepting regional sigils. There are a few crucial facts about these shops.
One-Time Deals: No Restocking Shenanigans
Unlike other vendors, Souvenir Shops in Genshin Impact have a “once it’s gone, it’s gone” rule. When you buy an item from Marjorie or another vendor, it will never come back. So, if you see something unique or important, grab it! There’s no restock; it’s a permanent purchase.
The Curious Case of the Inazuma Souvenir Shop: Patience is Key
Thinking about venturing to Inazuma and finding an open Souvenir Shop? Think again! The Inazuma Souvenir Shop is special. It’s closed at first. You must upgrade the Sacred Sakura Tree at Grand Narukami Shrine using Electro Sigils. Max it out to unlock the Souvenir Shop. It’s a reward for your dedication to the Electro Archon and her tree.
Beyond Anemo: A Sigil World Tour
Mondstadt isn’t the only area giving you sigils. As you explore Teyvat, you will find different sigils tied to each region and Archon.
- Electro Sigils: Inazuma’s Electrical Currency Electro Sigils are used mainly to upgrade the Sacred Sakura Tree in Inazuma. Most Electro Sigils go into the tree. This unlocks valuable rewards, including access to the Souvenir Shop. The Sacred Sakura Tree is Inazuma’s sigil sink.
- Geo Sigils: Liyue’s Earthly Treasures Like Anemo Sigils, Geo Sigils come from chests in Liyue. Explore Liyue’s landscapes, open chests, and earn Geo Sigils. Exchange these at the Mingxing Jewelry Souvenir Shop in Liyue Harbor. Linlang is your expert here.
- Dendro Sigils: Sumeru’s Bountiful Greens In Sumeru’s rainforests and deserts, gather Dendro Sigils. These do not go to a shop. Instead, offer them to the Tree of Dreams in Vanarana. Offering Dendro Sigils boosts your Vanarana’s Favor Level, unlocking rewards with each level up.
- Fontaine Sigils: Hydro Riches from the Fountain Upon reaching Fontaine, the Nation of Hydro, you collect Fontaine Sigils. Similar to Sumeru, Fontaine uses a Fountain system. Offer Fontaine Sigils to the Fountain of Lucine for rewards. Find the Fountain of Lucine.
So there you have it! Sigils in Genshin Impact are more than shiny collectibles. They serve as regional currencies that unlock items and rewards while encouraging exploration. Open those chests, explore regions, and let those sigils work for you!
