How to increase Adventure Rank in Genshin Impact

Your Adventure Rank in Genshin Impact is a key factor in determining which parts of the game are available to you. Fortunately, almost everything you do from the beginning of the game will grant you someAdventure EXP. If you’re at all familiar with RPGs, you probably already know that accumulating EXP (or Experience Points) is what allows you to level up.

Any time you receive Adventure EXP, you’ll get an onscreen run-down of how much you just gained and how much you still need to attain the next Adventure Rank.

As your Adventure Rank increases, so will enemy difficulty levels (both ordinary and boss); maximum character and weapon levels; and your likelihood of picking up 5-star loot drops. The World Level will also increase at regular intervals; more on that below.

Currently, Genshin Impact’s level cap isAdventure Rank 60. Any EXP you earn beyond that gets converted into in-game currency (at a rate of 1 Mora for every 10 EXP).

Because you can potentially control lots of characters in Genshin Impact, Adventure Rank is a reflection of your level as a player across your whole save, rather than your experience as an individual character. Character levelling works through a different system with its own progression resource (Character EXP).

The best way to rack up your Adventure EXP in Genshin Impact is to keep playing the game and complete quests. It really is that simple.

Genshin Impact features a number of different quest types. Completing any of these will net you Adventure EXP:

While all quest types are good sources of Adventure EXP, it’s a particularly good idea to keep on top of your Daily Commissions if you’re looking to increase your Adventure Rank as quickly as possible. They’re worth 225 Adventure EXP each, and that can really stack up.

Furthermore, completing all four Commissions for the day and reporting back to the Adventurers' Guild nets you a bonus 500 Adventure EXP. Considering you need 27,300 EXP to level up from Rank 59 to Rank 60, an extra 500 EXP represents a helpful boost even in the late stages of the game.

Other ways to gain Adventure EXP

There are also a handful of actions that grant small Adventure EXP gains whenever they are performed in Genshin Impact:

The increases in Adventure EXP these actions offer are small compared to what you get for completing quests, but on the plus side you get to pocket your gains immediately rather than at the end of a quest. Since these are all activities you’re likely to be doing anyway as you explore the world of Genshin Impact, keep them in mind if you find yourself just a few EXP away from your next Adventure Rank.
