Genshin Impact – AR 1–20 Mondstadt Route

Genshin Impact · Game · Last updated Mar 5, 2026

Overview

This guide helps new Travelers:

  • Reach **AR 20** comfortably
  • Unlock key **Statues of The Seven**
  • Grab important **Anemoculi** and domains

---

Phase 1 – Main Story First

  • Follow **Archon Quests** through:
  • Meeting Amber
  • Clearing early temples
  • Defending Mondstadt

Main story grants:

  • Free characters
  • Standard gear
  • Access to co-op and domains later

---

Phase 2 – Statues & Anemoculi

1. As you explore, prioritize:

  • Activating each **Statue of The Seven**
  • Offering **Anemoculi** for stamina boosts

2. Use the interactive map (or your own notes) to track orbs.

Secret

Some Anemoculi are:

  • Floating above wind currents
  • Hidden behind destructible rocks
  • Sitting on church rooftops—glide from cliffs to reach them

---

Phase 3 – Domains & Artifacts

Before AR 20:

  • Run **artifact domains** lightly; don't over-farm low rarity sets.
  • Focus on:
  • HP/ATK main stats
  • Simple 2-piece bonuses

Weapons:

  • Level a few **3–4�

weapons** that match your main DPS; refinement comes later.

---

Phase 4 – Daily Routine to AR 20

Once commissions unlock:

  • Do 4 × **Daily Commissions**.
  • Spend resin on:
  • Weapon/character EXP materials
  • Early talent books

By obeying this loop, you'll hit AR 20 with a solid foundation instead of burnt resin and mismatched artifacts.
