Inside Jokes
"The resin grind is eternal."
A humorous nod to the tedious but necessary task of farming resin daily, which almost all players experience and often lament.
"Never trust a 5-star pity count above 75."
A poke at the gacha system's pity mechanic; although 90 pulls guarantee a 5-star, some players joke about how close calls create anxiety.
Facts & Sayings
„Pity“
Refers to a guaranteed character or weapon drop after a certain number of unsuccessful pulls on a banner, signaling hope and frustration in gacha mechanics.
„Resin“
An in-game resource required to claim rewards from bosses and excavation domains, often discussed in terms of efficient usage to maximize progression.
„Wishing“
The act of spending in-game currency to obtain new characters or weapons from banners, central to the excitement and tension in the community.
„Meta“
Refers to the current most effective team compositions and strategies widely accepted by the community for optimizing gameplay.
„Whale“
A term used for players who spend large amounts of money on the game, often contrasted with free-to-play (F2P) players.
Unwritten Rules
Don’t reveal pity count unsolicited.
Sharing your pull count is considered personal and can lead to envy or derision; players wait to be asked before discussing it.
Respect team composition variety.
Criticizing others’ team choices harshly is frowned upon; constructive discussion and appreciation for creativity are encouraged.
Avoid excessive or repetitive resin grinding spoilers.
Since resin use reflects daily commitment, endlessly posting about resin-related activities can annoy community members overwhelmed by similar content.

First Steps & Resources
Get-Started Steps
Time to basics: 1-2 weeks
1
Download and Play Genshin
2-4 hoursBasic
Summary: Install the game, create an account, and play through the tutorial and early quests.
Details: The most authentic entry into the Genshin Impact community is to actually play the game. Download it on your preferred platform (PC, mobile, or console), create a free account, and begin by following the tutorial and completing the initial Archon Quests. This hands-on experience introduces you to core mechanics, characters, and the world of Teyvat. Beginners often feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of content, but focusing on story progression and basic exploration helps. Don’t worry about optimizing your team or resources yet—just enjoy the narrative and get a feel for controls. This step is crucial because firsthand gameplay is the foundation for understanding community discussions, memes, and strategies. Evaluate your progress by reaching Adventure Rank 10-15 and unlocking co-op mode, which signals readiness for deeper engagement.
2
Join Community Forums
1-2 hoursBasic
Summary: Register on active Genshin forums or Discords to observe discussions and ask beginner questions.
Details: Engaging with community forums or Discord servers is a key step to connecting with other players. Register on popular Genshin Impact forums or join Discord groups dedicated to the game. Start by reading pinned posts, FAQs, and beginner threads to absorb community etiquette and common topics. Introduce yourself in designated channels and don’t hesitate to ask basic questions—most communities have spaces for newcomers. A challenge is feeling intimidated by the volume of information or jargon; overcome this by focusing on beginner channels and using search functions. This step is vital for learning insider terminology, event updates, and forming social connections. Progress is measured by your comfort in navigating discussions, posting questions, and recognizing recurring community themes.

Learn Core Game Mechanics
2-3 hoursIntermediate
Summary: Study elemental reactions, team building, and gacha systems using guides and community resources.
Details: Understanding Genshin’s core mechanics—such as elemental reactions, team composition, and the gacha system—is essential for meaningful participation. Use beginner guides, wiki pages, and community videos to learn how elements interact, how to build effective teams, and how the Wish (gacha) system works. Beginners often struggle with information overload or focusing too much on meta strategies; instead, start with the basics and gradually explore advanced topics. Practice by experimenting with your own characters and observing how different elements combine in combat. This knowledge is important for engaging in strategy discussions and making informed decisions about resource management. Evaluate your progress by being able to explain basic mechanics and make simple team choices independently.

This step is crucial for building relationships, receiving personalized tips, and becoming a recognized member of the bubble. Progress is evident when you receive feedback, make friends, or see your questions spark discussion.
