With there being a lot to experience in Genshin Impact, players will often find various chests spread throughout the land. Many of these chests are filled with valuable items including rare artifacts that will help players throughout their journey. What some players may not know is whether some of these chests have the ability to respawn or not.
Updated November 22, 2021, by Nahda Nabiilah: Over one year after Genshin Impact was released, the game has now grown to include a variety of contents, such as fishing and boat riding. However, one thing remains the same: chest hunting.
Whether it's a box laying in the open world or a reward from exciting puzzles, chest hunting remains one of the most nostalgic activities in the game. Previously, many thought that these crates would respawn after some time. However, now the fact is more commonly known. Therefore, this article is now updated to include accurate information.
Do Chests Respawn in Genshin Impact?
Shortly, no. The chests in Genshin Impact don't respawn. Instead, new ones may be added along with new game versions. All chests in the open world are available as soon as players start the game. For completionists, they can use the Interactive Map to keep track of their progress.
Where To Find Chests In Genshin Impact
As of Genshin Impact 2.2, there are now five types of boxes in the game. Common Chest is the most common of the five, while Luxurious Chest is the most valuable:
- Common Chest
- Exquisite Chest
- Precious Chest
- Luxurious Chest
- Remarkable Chest
Common Chests and Exquisite Chests are commonly found in the open world and as a reward for simple puzzles or following Seelies.
Common Chests are mostly made of wood with a rounded top and are held together with common metal. When opening them, they can provide up to 2 Primogems, 10-20 Adventure Experience, 1-3 Sigils, Mora, and Weapon Enhancement, Talent Level-Up, or Character EXP Materials. Weapons and Artifacts can also drop from Common Chests, although they will be limited to rarity levels of 1 and 2 stars.
Exquisite Chests are a bit rarer and will likely require players to perform some kind of action before opening them. They are also made of wood but have a squared top. These chests have mostly the same rewards as a common chest but can also provide an additional 2-5 Primogems, 20-to-30 Adventure Experience to help raise a player's Adventure Rank in Genshin Impact, 3-4 Sigils, Mora, and Materials. Weapons and artifacts can also drop from these chests, including 3-star items.
Precious Chests usually require Travelers to finish complex quests and puzzles, although not exclusively, and they are wooden chests with gold. These chests can reward up to 10 Primogems, 30 Adventure Experience, 4-10 Sigils, Materials, Weapons, and Artifacts.
Just like the Precious ones, Luxurious Chests also spawn after finishing complicated quests and puzzles. They're also obtainable from the Shrine of Depths, a building that grants large Primogems rewards.
In every region, there are 10 Shrine of Depths to open. Each of them yields 40 Primogems. So across the three regions, players can get a total of 1200 Primogems.
As for Remarkable Chests, they're only obtainable in Tsurumi Island. Unlike the other types, these crates only reward one furnishing blueprint. Furthermore, this new box also appears in some older chest spots, giving the impression of a respawning chest.
How Many Luxurious Chests Are There In Genshin Impact?
As of Genshin Impact 2.2, there are 115 Luxurious Chests available:
- Version 1.0-1.5: 70 Luxurious Chests are available.
- Version 1.6: Six chests obtainable only in the Golden Apple Archipelago.
