Genshin Impact introduces a streamlined way to create character materials, a custom artifact filter, and the ability to skip the first two floors of the Spiral Abyss in version 5.1. Since the time of Fontaine, Genshin Impact is looking for ways to improve the gameplay for players beyond simply adding new features. These quality of life changes have breathed new life into the game and have received rave reviews from the community.
In version 5.0, players were allowed to create their own artifacts Genshin Impact for the first time, drastically reducing the game's most infamous grind. However, having the right set of artifacts is only one quarter of the equation when creating a Genshin Impact character, as players are also expected to improve their talents, increase their rank, and equip them with appropriate weapons. While weapon development is a separate matter Genshin ImpactVersion 5.1 will specifically address the character development experience.
As seen in the official HoYoverse blog post, when using the alchemy table in the Genshin ImpactVersion 5.1 will allow players to select any character they own to act as a filter, displaying only material relevant to that particular character's development. This filter also applies to weapons that are currently equipped, and even has a built-in calculator. The calculator comes with a display that shows the amount of materials needed as well as the amount the player currently owns. In addition to the display, the system can also automatically create the necessary materials, thus further optimizing the character creation experience Genshin Impact.
Genshin Impact players will be able to skip floors of Spiral Abyss
The most appealing part of these new quality of life changes is undoubtedly the ability to skip the first two floors of the Spiral Abyss in Genshin Impact. Instead of doing floors 9 and 10, Genshin Impact players who got all nine stars on the 12th floor in the previous cycle can start on the 11th floor. Conversely, players who get all nine stars on the 11th floor can start on the 10th floor. Most importantly, the pass still rewards players with the planned Spiral Abyss rewards.
Another notable feature coming in 5.1 is the introduction of custom artifact filters for each individual Genshin Impact character. These permanent artifact filters can be set and reset manually, making it easier for players to see which artifacts are most useful for the character they're currently building. Similar to the old system, filters sort a player's inventory based on desired attributes, such as critical hit rate or item possession. Version 5.1 is scheduled to launch on October 9, 2024, with Xilonen and Chiori leading the event banners in the first half.
