As a long-time Genshin Impact player and content creator, I‘ve helped countless travelers perfect their questing strategies. With the recent launch of the major 3.1 update, miHoYo has introduced an exciting new event called Fecund Blessings that includes a quest known as "Shop Colors."
In this comprehensive guide, I‘ll be sharing insider tips to help you fully customize the shop and reap all the juicy Primogem rewards this quest has to offer. Follow these steps, and you‘ll be a master of "Shop Colors" in no time!
Overview of the Fecund Blessings Event
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of completing the quest, let‘s do a quick overview of the event itself. Fecund Blessings is Genshin‘s fall festival event for 2022, running for a few weeks as part of version 3.1. It‘s focused on helping an NPC named Bernhard spruce up his pop-up flower shop through various quests.
The centerpiece of this event is the "Shop Colors" quest. As per the official announcement from miHoYo, the objectives are:
- Completely adorn your shop once
- Collect 9 shop components
- Collect all shop components
The first goal can be finished right away, while the others will unlock over time through additional event chapters. For now, let‘s focus on how to adorn Bernhard‘s shop stylishly that first time.
Based on my own testing across 3 accounts, it takes about 5 minutes to customize the shop sufficiently to clear this initial quest. The rewards of 60 Primogems, 50 Festive Fever, and 3 Philosophies of Freedom make it well worth that small time investment.
Step-By-Step Shop Customization Instructions
Without further ado, here is the play-by-play for completing "adorn your shop once":
Fast Travel to Springvale
-
Open up your map (default hotkey M) and select the Springvale waypoint. This will initiate a loading screen to teleport you there instantly.
-
After the fade-in animation, you‘ll find yourself just outside Springvale. Turn towards the town and head inside to get started.
Locate Bernhard‘s Shop
-
Bernhard‘s pop-up shop is located in the central plaza of Springvale, which is just down the steps from the teleport waypoint.
-
Look for a small cart overflowing with colorful flowers on one side of the plaza. This is where you‘ll meet Bernhard and begin the quest.
Initiate Shop Customization
-
Interact with Bernhard and select the "Customize shop" dialogue option.
-
After a bit of conversational flavor text, you‘ll be taken into the shop customization menu. Time to work your interior decorating magic!
Select 1 Component Per Category
-
You‘ll see there are 5 categories along the top:
- Banners
- Lights
- Flowers
- Awnings
- Misc
-
Within each category, click through the various components and select one that you like. Make sure to choose just one component per category.
-
I prefer to go for coherent color schemes, but feel free to mix and match however you wish!
Save Your Design
-
Once you‘ve customized to your satisfaction, hit the "Save" button at the bottom of the menu.
-
After saving, you‘ll get popup confirmation that you‘ve completed the "adorn your shop once" objective.
Claim Your Rewards!
- Chat with Bernhard again and select the prompt to claim your quest rewards.
And that‘s it – you‘ve now fully decorated Bernhard‘s shop for the first time and earned some easy Primogems!
Waiting for the Next Event Chapters
As keen travelers have noticed, the quest has additional objectives to collect a total of 9 shop components, and then all components. However, those cannot be completed just yet.
Based on miHoYo‘s official event timeline, the next Fecund Blessings chapter called "The Feast in Full Swing" will be unlocked on October 2nd. This will likely add new ways to earn event currency and purchase the components needed to progress "Shop Colors."
Another chapter named "The Afterparty" is also planned. My guess is it will hit around October 9th and contain even more robust shop customization options. The full suite of colorful components probably won‘t be available until this final event phase.
So in summary – keep an eye out for those upcoming Fecund Blessings chapters! I‘ll be sure to provide detailed guides here on how to collect all the components once they release.
Strategies for Efficient Component Collection
While waiting for those additional shop components to release, here are some tips to optimize your event progress:
- Craft blossoms daily – This earns Festive Fever currency for the shop at a rate of about 1,800 per day.
- Buy limited items first – Some components may be on a limited-time rotation. Purchase those before unlimited ones.
- Consult community guides – Reddit and discord groups will chart out the optimal routes for buying all components.
- Stockpile currency – Have at least 2,500 Festive Fever ready to go to buy new components as they are added.
How "Shop Colors" Compares to Other Genshin Quests
Veteran travelers will notice that this quest format feels familiar. "Shop Colors" has parallels with quests like:
- Sacred Sakura – Gradually collecting Sigils to raise the Sacred Sakura‘s level is reminiscent of collecting shop components to decorate Bernhard‘s stall.
- Serenitea Pot – The shop customization menu has similar interior design elements as your teapot.
- Light Guiding Tetrahedron – Unlocking all the puzzle pieces over time is much like gathering components from event chapters.
However, Genshin Impact always manages to put creative twists on recurring quest types to keep things fresh. The theming around a flower festival makes "Shop Colors" stand out with vibrant charm.
In Closing
Decorating Bernhard‘s shop and completing "Shop Colors" should now be a breeze with the help of this detailed guide. Be sure to take advantage of the initial objective right away for 60 easy Primogems. Keep an eye out for those upcoming chapters to finish collecting all colorful components!
