I can finally labor a different sphere !
Fontaine could n’t come anytime sooner . The 4.0 patch in Genshin Impact will be the biggest we ’ll get this class , introduce a whole new area with its own character , puzzle , items , seeking , and much more . But Modern pieces of land are not the only attraction here , as HoYoverse has disclosed more of the many QoL updates we ’ll be getting here and there .
In their newestDeveloper Discussionpost , we had another preview of the upcoming version . Some of the changes were already expected , but having an prescribed confirmation is always exciting , especially when it ’s about one of the game ’s most dreadful systems : Artifacts .
Easier Management, Easier Grinding, Easier Equipment
If you click expecting “ good Artifact rates confirmed , ” I ’m sorry to disappoint you , but bear with me . Farming and razing will still be a pain in the ass , but the overall experience is getting slightly unspoiled . Starting from 4.0,players can now hold up to 1800 Artifacts instead of 1500.Not only that , but all sets introduced from 1.4 to 2.8 will now be usable in Mystic Offering .
More artifact slots are a much - involve modification , as some players ( myself include ) are constantly reaching the current bound while farm . This is being addressed in various way , as there are now more Set options to create with your superfluous 5 - star pieces . I ’m at long last liberal from the Emblem curing domain !
If you still find it heavy to manage your blank space , more breaking option are being add , and they also speak about a“plan to allow for traveller to equip artifact as soon as potential . ” This could be either the long - call for Equipment Set lineament ( useful for character that can use multiple Artifact human body ) or a similar system to Honkai : Star Rail ’s “ recommend ” auto - equip choice , which is far from idealistic but a honest first .

Instant Traveling is The Way (And New Weapons Too!)
worldwide social function are also being added in the update , with the most impactful of them being definitelythe addition of a new Teleport Waypoint to the Realm of Farakhkert in Sumeru , unlocked mechanically once you complete Mondstadt ’s Archon Quests . This will let you visit both Sumeru and Fontaine mechanically without going over 30 hour of pursuance beforehand !
You still call for to cease all of the previous pursuit to relish Fontaine ’s story ( cease in Archon Quest Chapter III : Act VI “ Caribert . ” ) , but at least you could now explore the region , grab a few teleports , gather materials and fall back later when you captivate up .
Quest necessity has always been a huge barrier for novel players who got a cool grapheme from the most recent realm but are locked away from their ascension materials due to progression . Inazuma characters will still have the same issues , but nothing stop them from adding a similar Teleport to the region in the future .

apart from that , the other freehanded modification is the launching of five new Battle Pass weapons . The initial arm will still be there , and you may now select from a full selection of 10 muscular , single instruments of destruction in every update you get the BP . We had a few leak on those weapons , and they seemed to be pretty good !

Other changes admit the multi - superimposed map , present in sure Sumeru areas , being added to the rest of the plot , as well as a spectator way for TCG and a gyroscope routine for control , but we ’ll probably get a heap more as - of - yet undocumented changes . That ’s how magnanimous spell usually go .
in conclusion , they mentioned architectural plan to implement a dissimilar Daily Commission system . Some have mull that Star Rail ’s Daily Training Activity will be the fundament for that . In other quarrel , even prosperous dailies and more flexibility on what you ’ll need to do every daytime instead of doing the same mini - quest over and over .
I ’m definitely excited for Fortaine , and I have my Hope up in this maculation . Hoyoverse has been improving their game considerably as of previous , and there ’s no dubiousness the new region will be another big step into the overall experience . The tale seems quite bright too , so let ’s hope they do n’t eff this up somehow !
