Genshin Impact is a game full of exploration, strategy, and surprises—but some of its best tools and techniques go unnoticed. In a recent video, YouTuber Amber Benita shared 10 incredibly useful and lesser-known Genshin Impact tips that can seriously enhance your account whether you’re a free-to-play adventurer or a seasoned veteran.
Let’s break them down, tip by tip.
1. Natlan Is the New Primogem Goldmine
If you’re in desperate need of Primogems, head to Natlan. Amber points out that Natlan’s open design and low quest gating make it the most efficient region for exploration rewards. Pyroculus are easier to grab than their counterparts in regions like Sumeru or Inazuma, and turning them in yields a steady stream of Primogems.
Also don’t forget to redeem Pyro Sigils at the Tablet of Tona. Each level grants 50 Primogems, a much more generous offer than previous regions’ systems.
2. Co-op Boss Achievements
Under the “Meetings in the Outrealm” achievement set, you can earn easy Primogems by defeating bosses in co-op mode. It’s as simple as joining a friend’s world and taking down the weekly or elite bosses. Each one grants 10 Primogems and adds up fast.
3. Must-Have Exploration Gadgets
Amber recommends several must-have gadgets for explorers:
- 📦 Parametric Transformer – Converts excess materials into higher-tier ones.
- 🪲 Crystalfly Trap – Automates crystal fly farming.
- 🌱 Seed Dispensary – Essential for teapot farming.
- 🍃 Red Feather Fan – Boosts gliding speed for mountainous regions.
- 🌳 Boon of the Elder Tree – Mass wood collection with one tap.
- 🍲 NRE (Menu 30) – Instantly heal without opening your backpack, great in co-op.
4. Don’t Waste Leveled Artifacts – Use the Transmuter
Instead of feeding a bad leveled 5★ artifact into another piece, use it in the Artifact Strongbox. This keeps your investment while giving you a shot at better stats. Amber also reminds players that using off-piece artifacts is often fine, especially in early- and mid-game builds.
5. Co-op Domain Etiquette
If you’re farming artifacts in co-op, be mindful of others:
- Empty your artifact inventory beforehand.
- Have your intended character pre-selected.
- Don’t bring under-leveled characters that might die and slow the group.
- Bring your NRE gadget in case there’s no healer.
6. Build Region-Specific Exploration Teams
Amber offers specific team-building tips for each region:
- 🟢 Mondstadt: Pyro + Anemo + Claymore + mobility unit.
- 🟡 Liyue: Geo + Amber or Albedo for pressure plates + a climber + specialty tracker.
- 🟣 Inazuma: Electro + healer + AoE DPS + filler.
- 🌿 Sumeru Jungle: Dendro + Bow + Pyro + healer.
- 🏜️ Sumeru Desert: Dendro + Anemo + Bow + healer.
- 🌊 Fontaine: High HP character (like Furina) + swimmer or water-walker.
- 🔥 Natlan: Use characters suited for terrain like Varesa + sustain unit.
7. Optimize Friendship EXP Gains
Use “Friendship Teams” strategically:
- Team A: Characters you don’t plan to use—use this team to claim commissions and boss rewards.
- Team B: Characters you want to bond with—use this team for combat and domains where you can’t swap.
8. Lock Rare Weapons
Weapons like the Dark Iron Sword and White Tassel can’t be obtained from gacha and are limited to exploration. Lock them in your inventory so you don’t accidentally use them as fodder. Honorable mentions include:
- Fillet Blade
- Traveler’s Handy Sword
- Skyrider Greatsword
- Recurve Bow
- Halberd
9. Clear Local Legends in Co-op
Local Legends are tough mini-bosses with strong loot—but they don’t scale in co-op mode. Invite a friend for backup if you’re having trouble. You’ll still earn the achievement and loot. Just note: they only respawn with daily server resets.
10. Spiral Abyss Buff Reset Trick
Spiral Abyss cards reset daily. If you get a bad set of buffs on your run, quit and return the next day. This “buff rerolling” is perfect for players aiming for 36-star clears and wanting optimal conditions.

Amber Benita’s thoughtful video is packed with tips that many Genshin players—new and old—may have missed. From fast Primogem routes in Natlan to hidden co-op achievements and smarter artifact handling, these are the kinds of insights that can seriously improve your day-to-day gameplay.
