Here’s how to get your Serenitea Pot in Genshin Impact
Wondering how to get a house in Genshin Impact?Genshin Impact’s Serenitea Pot system grants you the ability to decorate your own realm with characters, furniture, plants, rocks, and even pets. Some players have carefully crafted gardens with elegantly decorated houses. Other players have simply used their teapots to trap Venti in an empty room filled with animals — whatever you want to do with your house, we can’t judge.
Whether you haven’t unlocked the housing system yet or you’re looking for ways to improve your Serenitea Pot, this guide will show you everything you need, including unlocking housing, placing characters, choosing a layout, getting furniture, and increasing your Trust Rank and Adeptal Energy.

How to get a house in Genshin Impact
You’ll need to reach Adventure Rank 35 before you’re able to get a house in Genshin Impact. Definitely a strange system for choosing who gets a house, but if that’s how Liyue rolls, then we’re up for the challenge. If you’re not already there, you might need to grind a little. If you want some help, follow our walkthrough onhow to increase your Adventure Rank in Genshin Impact.
Once you’re at Adventure Rank 35, the A Teapot to Call Home: Part I quest will appear in your quest menu. This quest will lead you on a long journey that kicks off when you speak to Madame Ping, an old lady who hangs out in Liyue Harbor. She’ll send you throughout Liyue to obtain a variety of affidavits alongsideYanfei, a passionate and fiery legal advisor. Once you settle the case at hand, you’ll return to chat with Madame Ping, who will craft you your very own Serenitea Pot to call home.
When entering your teapot for the first time, you’ll be prompted to choose one of three realm layouts. Don’t think too hard about it, though, as you’ll be able to switch layouts later on after raising your Trust Rank (we’ll go over this later in the guide).
How to use the Serenitea Pot in Genshin Impact
Placing your teapot while already inside of it will allow you to teleport back to Teyvat. Alternatively, you can just click back onto the Teyvat tab of your map and use a Teleport Waypoint or Statue of the Seven to return.
You can also have visitors over for a housewarming party or visit a friend’s teapot to tour their abode, though the process is a bit different from the wayCo-Op Modeis normally used. To join a friend’s Serenitea Pot, head to the Friends menu and click on your friend’s avatar. From there, hit the Request to visit Serenitea Pot button.
How to gather materials for your Serenitea Pot
You’ll also be able to buy 5 Fabric for 10 Realm Currency in your Realm Depot, though we’d recommend saving your Realm Currency unless you’re desperate.
How to furnish your Serenitea Pot
On weekends, the Traveling Teapot Salesman will stay in your teapot to sell rare furnishings that can’t be purchased anywhere else. These furnishings typically include a selection of both animals and landforms.
There are also a few furnishing blueprint vendors scattered throughout Teyvat that will sell you blueprints you can’t find anywhere else. Goth, Mondstadt’s furniture vendor, can be found near a wall on the southern side of the city of Mondstadt, while Master Lu, Liyue’s furniture vendor, can be found near the southern side of Qingce Village.
Occasionally, events will reward players with themed blueprints and furniture as well, so if you’re looking to collect all of the furniture Genshin has to offer, keep an eye out for new events.
How to place characters in your Serenitea Pot
How to increase your Trust Rank
In the Create Furnishing menu, items that haven’t been crafted before will have a small Trust Rank icon in the top right corner of their thumbnail. When you use a blueprint to craft one of these items for the first time and then collect that furnishing after crafting, you’ll earn Trust Rank points. It’s worth noting that more valuable items will net you more Trust Rank points, so if you’re trying to max out your Trust Rank quickly, crafting 4-star items is the way to go.
Increasing your Trust Rank will get you some sweet rewards, including Primogems, new blueprints, and our beloved Vials of Adeptal Speed.
How to increase your Adeptal Energy
Increasing your realm’s Adeptal Energy will raise the amount of Realm Currency you earn per hour. It will also raise the amount of Companionship EXP the characters placed inside your realm generate.
How to farm in your Serenitea Pot
Through the Realm Depot, you can purchase small fields and different crops. Placing these fields throughout your realm will enable you to plant and grow crops, though each crop can only be grown in a certain field type. Here are all of the field types and which crops they grow:
If you’re not too keen on buying seeds, completing the Art of Horticulture quest, which requires you to reach Reputation Level 3 in Inazuma, will grant you the Seed Dispensary. When equipped, this nifty gadget will grant you some seeds every time you forage plants throughout Teyvat.
