From breathing life into desert sands to nurturing magical forest sprites, Sumeru‘s splendors kindle adventurers‘ passions. But few realize the region also offers intricate reputation systems with handsome rewards.
As a Genshin Impact player since launch with 36 stars in the spiral abyss, I‘ve uncovered many of Sumeru‘s secrets. Now I present this detailed guide to unlocking Sumeru‘s reputation for new daring explorers.
What is Reputation Exactly?
Reputation systems allow you to increase your standing in a region by completing missions, requests, and other activities. As your reputation "level" ascends, you can claim special achievement rewards.
Sumeru‘s reputation spans levels 1-10. Each new height offers prizes like weapons, talent books, enhancement ore, Mora, and even free characters at times!
But first you‘ll need to gain access by finishing certain quests.
Prerequisite Quests – The Journey Begins
Before Sumeru‘s reputation appears, you must complete four critical archon quests:
Through the Mists of Smoke
Synopsis: Help frightened Aranara escape the forest‘s corruption
Suggested Level: 30+
Tip: Equip shields/healers to counter elemental traps
The Forests Darkening
Synopsis: Rescue a priest deep in the Ardravi Valley
Suggested Level: 40+
Tip: Use Dendro Traveler to counter corrosive enemies
The Morn a Thousand Roses Brings
Synopsis: Aid Mulcors rebels in overthrowing false gods
Suggested Level: 50+
Tip: Freeze/electro-charge teams handle crowds well
Corps of Thirty Recruitment
Synopsis: Prove your worth to Captain Effendi
Suggested Level: 60+
Tip: Show mastery of elemental reactions in challenges
I recommend attempting these quests only after raising your Adventure Rank and honing your combat arts against elite foes. The challenges you‘ll face make stunning backdrops for viral Genshin Impact photo mode captures!
Unlocking Sumeru Commissions
When you first enter Sumeru‘s rainforests, you‘ll notice an empty reputation page. But after finishing the quests above and viewing Effendi‘s climatic cutscene, you can finally access regional commissions.
These special daily commissions provide the main source of reputation exp. Completing them routinely over days, weeks, and months will get you closer to those sweet reputation 10 prizes.
Alluring Reputation Rewards
So what motivated me through those grueling prerequisite battles? The handsome reputation level rewards of course! Here‘s a sneak peak:
| Reputation Level | Rewards Highlights |
|---|---|
| Level 2 | 20,000 Mora, 4 Hero‘s Wits |
| Level 3 | Weapon Enhancement Ore, Shrine of Maya Key |
| Level 7 | Crown of Insight, Viridescent Venerer/Deepwood Memories Artifact Box |
| Level 8 | standard wish, 240k Mora, 6 Sanctifying Unction |
| Level 10 | Wings of the Forest Glider, Precious Chest, Talent Level-Up Material, Weapon Ascension Material Box |
My eyes are fixed firmly on that dazzling forest sprite glider! But collecting all those delightful goodies along the journey makes the effort worthwhile.
Powering Up Quickly
While reputation naturally accrues over time, you can speed your ascent by:
- Checking the Sumeru bulletin board daily for new commissions
- Offering Dendroculus at Statues of the Seven
- Completing bounties and requests with leftover resin
- Crafting regional specialty items like pizzas and tabuleh salads
- Exploring the rainforest, unlocking tree of dreams waypoints, awakening aranaras
As you pioneer uncharted rainforest ruins and tame mighty scarlet king halves, you‘ll watch your hard-earned reputation rise steadily. Stay tuned for more tips!
So ready your gliding disks and prepare to soar through emerald canopies, travelers! For legends speak of a shimmering forest sprite glider awaiting up high. May your quest to unlock coveted reputation rewards bear wondrous fruit!
