How to unlock Reputation

Before you can start racking up Reputation EXP in your favorite city, you’ll need to be at Adventure Rank 25 or higher. If you’re not there yet, completing quests and other tasks around Teyvat will get you there soon enough, but ourAdventure Rank guidemight help.

Unlocking the Reputation system in each city will also require you to complete a few prerequisite quests. To unlock Mondstadt’s Reputation system, you’ll need to complete Prologue Act I: The Outlander Who Caught the Wind, Knight of the Realm. After you’ve wrapped up this quest, to get to Mondstadt’s Reputation area, teleport to the city’s easternmost Teleport Waypoint, turn left, and head down the stairs, where you’ll find the city’s Reputation board.

Liyue’s Reputation system requires the completion of Chapter I Act II: Farewell, the Archaic Lord, Ministry Missions. To get to Liyue’s Reputation area after completing this quest, head to the city’s easternmost Teleport Waypoint, head down the path past the Blacksmith, and make a left before reaching the docks. From there, continue left until you reach the stone stairs to your left, which you’ll want to take. At the top of the stairs, you’ll find the city’s Reputation board.

Before you start gaining Reputation EXP inInazuma, you’ll need to complete Chapter II Act I: The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia as well as The Commission’s Commission. To find Inazuma’s Reputation area, head to the Teleport Waypoint at the Kamisato Estate (found on Narukami Island) and walk inside. Once you’ve passed the gate, head left to speak with Madarame Hyakubei, who will give you a rundown of the city’s Reputation system.

How to complete Bounties

If you love taking down minibosses, Bounties are a great way to earn Reputation EXP quickly. To start, head to your favorite city’s Reputation area and speak with the person standing next to the sign. You’ll see that there are three Bounties to choose from, with higher rarities awarding more Mora and Reputation EXP. (3-star Bounties will reward you with 60 Reputation EXP and 20,000 Mora, 4-star Bounties will grant you 80 Reputation EXP and 25,000 Mora, and 5-star Bounties will leave you with 100 Reputation EXP and 30,000 Mora.)

Once you’ve chosen a Bounty, make sure to equip your team wisely according to the enemy’s description. The Bounty description will contain details like “Invulnerability to Hydro DMG” or “Takes increased DMG from bow-wielding characters.” In a case like this, for example, you might want to rid your team of Hydro characters (unless you’ve got a healer likeBarbara) and fill in the gaps with an archer DPS likeGanyu. Bounties have varying weaknesses and strengths, so if you’re eager to learn about more characters to balance Bounties with, why not check out ourcharacter tier list?

Once you’re prepared, check your map for a yellow circle representing where your enemy is hiding. Teleport inside of this area, but be speedy — you’ll only have 10 minutes to hunt down your target. After reaching the Bounty area, use Elemental Sight to follow the blue trails that lead to clues. These trails will either lead you to natural clues, which you’ll need to inspect, or smaller enemies like Hilichurls, which you’ll need to take down in order to progress. After following enough of these trails, you’ll then be led to your target, which will only appear after you’ve tracked down all of the clues or enemies. Take down the enemy and you’ll finally be done!

How to complete Requests

If you’ve got a lot of materials on hand, completing Requests will be a breeze for you. Head to your favorite city’s Reputation board and speak with whoever’s in front to get started. Each request will involve delivering a small amount of a certain material to an NPC (such as my favorite, Manly Jack, who just can’t get enough Chicken-Mushroom Skewers).

How to raise World Exploration Progress

If you’ve paid close attention to your Teyvat map, you might have already noticed that each area has an Exploration Progress percentage. The Reputation board in each major region (Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma) will keep track of that region’s overall Exploration Progress, and raising your percentage to 20%, 40%, or 60% will reward you with 100 Reputation EXP and 20,000 Mora. While raising Exploration Progress is a tedious task, if you’re close to reaching one of these percentages, here are some of the best ways to do so:

Unlock Teleport Waypoints and Statues of the Seven

If you haven’t already, make sure you’re all caught up on unlocking your Statues of the Seven and Teleport Waypoints, which can be located with the map. In addition to lighting up the map and making exploration easier, these will grant you a few points toward your Exploration Progress percentage.

Find Oculi

Find Treasure Chests

Your Exploration Progress will also grow whenever you locate a treasure chest. Make sure you’re thorough when exploring Teyvat — just one chest can bring your Exploration Progress from 99% to 100%! Chests locked behind the completion of puzzles also count toward your Exploration Progress, so make sure to guide every Seelie and pop every BalloonFloweryou come across.
