Expeditions
Expeditions are a passive resource-gathering mechanic in Genshin Impact that allows players to send characters on timed missions to collect valuable materials. This system is crucial for accumulating essential resources like ores, meat, and regional specialties without requiring active gameplay, making it a vital tool for consistent progression.
By dispatching characters on expeditions, You can continuously gather items needed for character ascension, weapon enhancement, and cooking. The duration of these expeditions can range from a few hours to a full day, depending on the type of resource being sought. It's a highly efficient way to ensure you always have a steady supply of necessary materials, especially for players who may not have extensive playtime. Regularly checking and managing your expeditions is a key habit for any aspiring adventurer in Teyvat.
How to Access Expeditions:
Expeditions can be accessed through any Adventurer Guild Receptionist located in the major cities of Teyvat:

Character Assment:

- Characters sent on expeditions are unavailable for combat or other activities until the expedition is complete.
- There is no benefit to sending specific characters on specific expeditions, so use characters you don't plan to use actively.
Tips for Efficient Expedition Management:
- Check Daily: Make it a habit to check and dispatch characters on expeditions every day.
- Prioritize Needs: Send characters to gather materials you currently need most for character or weapon progression.
- Utilize Longer Durations: For materials you don't need urgently, opt for the 20-hour expeditions to maximize resource gain over time.
- Claim: Remember to return to the Adventurer Guild receptionist to claim your completed expeditions and start new ones.
By effectively utilizing the Expedition system, You can significantly streamline their resource acquisition, ensuring they are always well-equipped for any challenge Teyvat throws their way.
