Reaching level 90 in Genshin Impact requires massive amounts of EXP and materials. While it’s a lengthy process, these strategies will get you there as efficiently as possible.
Focus on Main Quests and Story
Story quests provide the largest Adventure Rank EXP chunks in the game. Prioritize:
- Archon Quests (main storyline) – Thousands of AR EXP per quest
- World Quests – Significant AR EXP rewards
- Legendary Quests (character story quests) – Good AR EXP and Primogems
Completing the main story through all available regions (Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine) gives you enough AR EXP to reach AR 50-55 easily.
Daily Commissions Are Essential
Daily Commissions are your most consistent AR EXP source. Each commission gives 200-250 AR EXP, and completing all four daily plus the bonus rewards 1,500+ AR EXP total.
Do this every single day without fail. Missing daily commissions is the biggest mistake players make. Over a month, dailies alone provide 45,000+ AR EXP.
Spend Your Resin Wisely
Original Resin regenerates at 1 per 8 minutes (180 per day). Every 20 resin spent gives 100 AR EXP, meaning your daily resin provides 900 AR EXP.
Best resin activities for leveling:
- Ley Line Outcrops (Blossoms of Wealth/Revelation)
- Domains for materials
- Weekly bosses (60 resin for 300+ AR EXP)
Never let your resin cap at 160 – it wastes regeneration. Log in twice daily to spend it if possible.
Exploration and Chests
Exploration provides substantial one-time AR EXP:
- Common chests: 10 AR EXP
- Exquisite chests: 20 AR EXP
- Precious chests: 40 AR EXP
- Luxurious chests: 60 AR EXP
Each region has hundreds of chests. Thoroughly exploring Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma can provide 20,000-30,000 AR EXP total. Use interactive maps to find them all.
Statue of the Seven Offerings
Collecting Oculi (Anemoculus, Geoculus, Electroculus, etc.) and offering them to Statues gives AR EXP. Each statue level provides 100+ AR EXP, and maxing all statues across regions adds thousands of AR EXP to your total.
Events Are EXP Goldmines
Limited-time events often provide 1,000-2,000 AR EXP through event quests and challenges. Always participate in active events – they’re among the best AR EXP sources relative to time invested.
The Reality of AR 90
Here’s the truth: AR 90 doesn’t exist yet. The current maximum Adventure Rank is 60, with ranks 56-60 providing no additional rewards or benefits. Most players stay at AR 55-60 indefinitely.
If you’re asking about leveling characters to level 90, that’s different. Character level 90 requires:
- Character Ascension 6 (needs specific boss materials)
- 171 Hero’s Wit (purple EXP books)
- 684,000 Mora
Farm Ley Lines (Blossoms of Revelation for books, Blossoms of Wealth for Mora) and weekly bosses for materials.
Avoid Account Trading Temptations
The grind to high AR frustrates some players, leading them to consider shortcuts like trying to buy genshin accounts at higher levels. This violates ToS, risks permanent bans, and you miss learning essential game mechanics. Build your account legitimately.
