Genshin Daily Commissions and How to Spend Your Resin

Genshin daily commissions are four short tasks that, with the extra reward from Katheryne, pay 60 Primogems a day. Original Resin is the energy you spend to claim rewards from bosses, Domains and Ley Lines, and it refills by itself at one point every 8 minutes until it reaches a cap of 200. Finish the commissions, empty the Resin, and you have taken what the day offers in about half an hour.

How Genshin daily commissions work

Daily commissions unlock at Adventure Rank 12. Every day the game marks four of them on your map: a short fight, a delivery, a small favor for someone in town. Each one pays 10 Primogems plus Adventure EXP and Mora.

When all four are done, talk to Katheryne at any Adventurers' Guild desk. She adds 20 Primogems, which makes 60 for the day. This last step is the one players forget.

Commissions reset at 4:00 in the morning, server time. Rewards you did not claim are gone, so there is nothing to save up.

Two things make them faster. In the Adventurer Handbook, on the Commissions page, you can choose the region your commissions appear in, and a region you know well saves time. The same page counts Encounter Points, which you earn from other activities such as quests and chests. Four points in a day claim the same rewards as four commissions, so on a day spent on a long quest you may not need to run them at all.

Genshin Resin: what it is and how fast it refills

Original Resin refills at one point every 8 minutes. That is 7.5 an hour, or 180 a day, and an empty bar takes a little under 27 hours to fill.

The cap is the detail that matters. At 200 the refill stops, and every minute after that is Resin you never get. With 180 coming in each day, one visit every 24 hours is enough, as long as you empty the bar each time.

This is what each activity costs:

• A Ley Line Outcrop: 20 Resin.
• A Domain run: 20 Resin.
• A world boss: 40 Resin.
• A weekly boss: 30 Resin for your first three each week, then 60.

How to spend Resin in Genshin at each stage

Before Adventure Rank 45, artifacts are a poor use of Resin, because good pieces drop rarely. Spend on what makes your team stronger today:

• Ley Lines for Mora and character EXP books. New accounts are always short of both.
• World bosses for the materials your four main characters need to ascend.
• Talent Domains for your main damage dealer, then weapon materials.

From AR 45, the highest Domain level drops a five-star artifact in every run, and artifact Domains become the place where most of your Resin goes.

Every week, start with three weekly bosses while they cost 30. They drop the materials that high talent levels need.

Talent books and weapon materials rotate by weekday, and every Domain is open on Sunday. Check what today offers before you spend.

Condensed Resin, Fragile Resin and refills

Condensed Resin is crafted at an alchemy table from 40 Original Resin and a Crystal Core, and you can hold five. Use one on a Domain or Ley Line and that run pays double. It halves the number of fights, and it brings your bar down when you have no time to play.

Fragile Resin is an item that restores 60 Original Resin. It comes from Adventure Rank rewards, the Battle Pass and events, and it does not expire. Keep it for AR 45, or for a new character you want ready quickly.

The game also lets you refill Resin with Primogems, and the cost rises with each refill in a day. For most players the answer is no. Primogems are worth more as wishes, and tomorrow's Resin is free. Our Primogems guide explains how to plan those wishes.

A daily routine in half an hour

1. Collect your expeditions and send the characters out again.
2. Do the four commissions, or check your Encounter Points, then see Katheryne.
3. Spend your Resin. If you are short of time, craft Condensed Resin first and use it on today's Domain.
4. Open the Battle Pass. Its daily missions overlap with what you just did: finishing commissions and spending 150 Resin both count.
5. Once a week, add the three weekly bosses.

On a busy day, steps 2 and 3 are enough.

Questions players ask about commissions and Resin

What time do daily commissions reset?

At 4:00 in the morning, server time. Each server has its own clock, so the hour on your phone depends on the server you play on.

How many Primogems do daily commissions give?

60 a day: 10 for each of the four commissions and 20 from Katheryne. Over a month that is about 1,800.

How do you unlock daily commissions in Genshin?

Reach Adventure Rank 12. The Archon Quests and early exploration get you there in a few sessions.

What is the Resin cap in Genshin?

200 Original Resin. Condensed Resin and Fragile Resin are stored separately and do not count toward it.

Genesis Crystals on Mas4Games

The daily routine costs nothing, and it is the base of every account. Paid Genesis Crystals convert to Primogems, and spending those on Resin is the most expensive way to progress, so keep them for wishes.

If you want more wishes on top of your daily income, you can get Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals on Mas4Games as a top-up by ID. You enter your UID and server, no password is asked, and the help center has live support if you have a question about an order.
