The journey through the seven nations of Teyvat is not merely a walk through breathtaking vistas but a measured ascent, a climb up the invisible spire known as Adventure Rank. It is the silent pulse of every Traveler's progress, the key that unlocks the world's deeper mysteries and the warmth of companionship. From the moment one first steps into the windswept city of Mondstadt and meets the ever-present Katheryne of the Adventurer's Guild, this numerical emblem becomes a constant companion. She speaks of benefits without drawbacks, a promise that holds true, for every point of experience earned is a step toward new horizons. The most poignant of these horizons, perhaps, is the gateway to co-op play at Rank 16, a threshold that transforms a solitary pilgrimage into a shared odyssey. As of 2025, the principles of ascension remain timeless, a sacred geometry of effort and reward that every Traveler must learn to navigate.

The Tapestry of Tales: Quests as Guiding Threads

The narrative of Teyvat is not a single thread but a grand, interwoven tapestry. Following its patterns is the most direct path to power.

  • Archon Quests: The main storyline is the spine of your adventure, bestowing hefty chunks of Adventure EXP and precious Intertwined Fates upon completion.

  • World & Side Quests: These are the rich embroidery along the edges, offering Primogems and substantial EXP for aiding the denizens of each region.

  • Character Quests & Hangout Events: Delving into the hearts of companions is like finding a hidden spring in a desert; these intimate stories provide surprisingly abundant Adventure EXP.

Completing quests is the primary engine of progression, a steady river of experience that carries the Traveler forward.

The Daily Ritual: Commissions as Sacred Oaths

Once Adventure Rank 12 is attained, a daily ritual unlocks, as regular as the sunrise over Liyue Harbor. The four Daily Commissions are not mere chores but sacred oaths to the Guild, and honoring them daily is non-negotiable. Each completed commission is a dual blessing, granting:

  • Primogems (the lifeblood of wishes)

  • A steady stream of Adventure EXP

Neglecting this ritual is to let potential ascension dissipate like morning mist. Consistency here is a Traveler's most reliable ally.

The Whisper of the World: Exploration as Unwritten Poetry

Exploration is the soul of the journey, a form of unwritten poetry where every discovered secret sings a verse of experience. This is the most serene and boundless method to grow one's rank. The activities are as varied as the landscapes:

Activity Reward (Adventure EXP)
Unlocking Teleport Waypoints ✅
Opening Treasure Chests ✅ (Varies by rarity)
Solving Environmental Puzzles ✅
Collecting Anemoculi/Geoculi/etc. ✅ (Also grants EXP upon Statue offering)

Venturing off the beaten path is like following the scattered notes of a forgotten symphony; each discovery completes a measure, building toward a grander composition of personal mastery.

The Forge of Conflict: Domains, Bosses, and Leylines

When the call to action sounds, a Traveler must answer. Engaging with Teyvat's challenges consumes Original Resin but yields the potent elixir of Adventure EXP.

1. Domains & World Bosses: 🗡️⚔️

Conquering these trials is essential. While Domains are best farmed intensively after AR45 for optimal rewards, world bosses provide crucial character ascension materials and a solid EXP return from the start. Claiming the rewards from a Leyline Blossom after victory is the crucial final step.

2. Leyline Outcrops: 💰📚

Scattered across the nations like dormant seeds of potential, the Blossom of Wealth (Mora) and Blossom of Revelation (EXPyielding books) are fundamental. For a cost of 20 Resin, they offer:

  • Vital resources for character growth.

  • A direct infusion of Adventure EXP.

Spending resin here in the early game is an investment that compounds over time, like planting a seed that grows into a tree bearing fruit for the entire journey.

The Celestial Compass: The Adventurer's Handbook

In moments of uncertainty, when the path seems obscured, the Adventurer's Handbook serves as a celestial compass. Accessible from the screen's corner, it provides a curated list of objectives across categories like combat and collection. Each completed task in this guide is a star charted on your map to ascension, granting direct Adventure EXP. Clicking a task often guides you straight to your destination, making it an indispensable tool for focused progression.

The Summit Awaits

Raising one's Adventure Rank is the central pilgrimage of every Teyvat traveler. It is a multifaceted endeavor: a scholar pursuing quests, a monk performing daily rites, a poet wandering the wilds, and a warrior testing their mettle. By weaving together these strands—the epic tales, the humble commissions, the silent exploration, and the resonant conflicts—a Traveler's rank ascends. Each level reached is a new verse in an epic poem, a higher vantage point from which to behold the ever-expanding, wondrous tragedy of this world. The journey is long, but with Katheryne's rewards as milestones and the promise of shared adventures at Rank 16 as a beacon, every step is a note in the grand melody of ascension.
