Unlocking the Condensed Resin Recipe
To start crafting Condensed Resin, you first need to unlock the recipe. This is done by reaching reputation level 3 in Liyue. Increasing your reputation involves completing various tasks such as:
- Finishing the main story quests in Liyue
- Doing daily commissions in the region
- Completing weekly requests and bounties
Once you hit reputation level 3, you’ll receive the “Condensed Resin Instructions” as a reward. Go to the Precious Items tab in your inventory and use the instructions to permanently unlock the Condensed Resin recipe.
Crafting Condensed Resin
With the recipe unlocked, you can now craft Condensed Resin at any crafting table. Here are the required materials for a single Condensed Resin:
| Material | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Original Resin | 40 |
| Crystal Core | 1 |
| Mora | 100 |
Crystal Cores can be obtained by catching the glowing blue Crystalflies found near Statue of the Seven locations in Mondstadt and Liyue.
It’s important to note that you can only hold a maximum of 5 Condensed Resin at any given time. This means you can’t endlessly stockpile them, so craft them as needed.
Using Condensed Resin Effectively
Condensed Resin is best used on activities that normally cost 20 Original Resin, such as:
- Artifact domains
- Weapon ascension material domains
- Talent book domains
- Mora or character EXP ley lines
Using a Condensed Resin on these will give you double the rewards compared to spending 20 Original Resin. However, the number of runs recorded for Battle Pass missions will still only count as one.
Keep in mind that Condensed Resin cannot be used on weekly bosses like Stormterror, Wolf of the North, or Childe. You’ll have to spend 60 Original Resin as usual for those.
Some other tips for using Condensed Resin:
- Save Condensed Resin for days when you have limited time to play
- Use them on artifact domains at AR45+ for a better chance at 5-star artifacts
- Spend them on talent book domains to level up your main DPS characters’ key talents
- Don’t use Condensed Resin on world bosses like the Hypostases or Regisvines
By using Condensed Resin strategically, you can make significant progress on your characters in a shorter amount of time. It’s a valuable resource that’s worth crafting whenever possible.
FAQ
What Adventure Rank should I start using Condensed Resin?
It’s recommended to begin using Condensed Resin around AR40-45, when you start heavily farming artifacts and high-level talent books or weapon materials. However, you can craft and use it as soon as you unlock the recipe.
Should I use Fragile Resin to craft Condensed Resin?
In most cases, it’s better to save your Fragile Resin for artifact farming at AR45+. Fragile Resin is best used to quickly regenerate Original Resin when needed. Condensed Resin is more for converting existing Original Resin into a more efficient form.
Can I use Condensed Resin in co-op mode?
Yes, Condensed Resin works in co-op mode for domains and ley lines. The double rewards will only apply to the player who used the Condensed Resin, not the whole party.
Do I have to use Condensed Resin?
No, using Condensed Resin is completely optional. You can still spend Original Resin on domains and ley lines as usual. Condensed Resin just allows you to get more value out of your resin if you have the time and resources to craft it.
By understanding how Condensed Resin works and using it wisely, you can significantly speed up your progress in Genshin Impact. Keep crafting and spending this valuable resource to build up your characters and make them as strong as possible!
