Genshin Impact Original Resin guide: refill rates, costs and a daily plan

Key points

• Original Resin refills 1 unit every 8 minutes and stops at 200. A day of regeneration gives you 180, and a full bar from empty takes 26 hours and 40 minutes.
• Domains and Ley Line Outcrops cost 20 or 40 Original Resin per claim, or 1 Condensed Resin.
• Weekly Boss rewards cost 30 Original Resin each for the first 3 of the week and 60 each after that. Condensed Resin does not work on them.
• Condensed Resin is crafted from 60 Original Resin, 1 Crystal Core and 100 Mora, and you can hold up to 5.
• Primogem refills add 60 Original Resin each, up to 6 times a day, at 50/100/100/150/200/200 Primogems.

How Original Resin refills and when it stops

Original Resin comes back at 1 unit every 8 minutes, but only while you are below the 200 cap. Once the bar reaches 200, regeneration stops. The timer only starts again after you spend enough to drop below the cap. At that rate you get 180 Resin per 24 hours and 1260 per week, and going from 0 to a full 200 takes 26 hours and 40 minutes.

Open the map and tap the Resin icon to see two timers, one for the next unit and one for a full bar. Any time spent sitting at 200 is regeneration you never get back, so spend Resin before the bar fills. Every unit you spend gives Adventure EXP at a 1:5 ratio, which makes a 20 Resin claim worth 100 Adventure EXP. Turning Original Resin into Condensed Resin is the one exception, and the conversion itself gives no Adventure EXP.

What each Domain, Ley Line Outcrop and Weekly Boss costs

You pay Resin when you claim a reward, and the price depends on what you are claiming.

Trounce Blossoms for Normal Bosses refuse Condensed Resin as well. Event-exclusive challenges that cost Original Resin also refuse it unless the event's details say otherwise. You can complete activities without Resin, including for Battle Pass missions that ask for a completion, but you cannot claim their rewards until you pay. A Trounce Domain is open every day once you finish its Archon or Story Quest, and you can clear it as often as you like. Its rewards can only be claimed once a week and come back with the Weekly World Reset.

Which Domains and Ley Lines open at your Adventure Rank

Domains of Forgery, Blessing and Mastery open at a listed Adventure Rank or after a listed quest, and Ley Line Outcrops open at an Adventure Rank that depends on the region.

• Domains of Forgery give Weapon Ascension Materials. Their entrances open at Adventure Rank 16 or after For a Tomorrow Without Tears.
• Artifacts come from Domains of Blessing, which open at Adventure Rank 22 or after Song of the Dragon and Freedom.
• Character Talent Materials come from Domains of Mastery, which open at Adventure Rank 27 or after Of the Land Amidst Monoliths.
• Every Challenge Domain stage is open on two set days of the week plus Sunday. Check a stage's days before you travel there.
• Mondstadt and Liyue open Blossoms of Revelation at Adventure Rank 8 and Blossoms of Wealth at Adventure Rank 12.
• Other regions open both blossom types at Adventure Rank 18, once you have activated at least one Statue of The Seven in that region.
• Each region of Teyvat has two Ley Line Outcrops, one of each type. Blossoms of Revelation give Character EXP Materials and Blossoms of Wealth give Mora, and both add Adventure EXP and Companionship EXP.
• One-Time Domains give a set reward on the first clear and nothing after that. The reward is Adventure EXP and Primogems, sometimes with a unique Food recipe.
• Unlocked Permanent Domains also work as Teleport Waypoints.
• Co-Op Mode lets you join a host's unlocked Domains even if you have not unlocked them yourself, as long as you meet the other Co-Op Mode requirements.

To plan which Talent and Ascension materials to farm first, look up your team on our Genshin Impact characters and builds page.

How Ley Line Outcrops spawn, scale and reward you

Touching a Ley Line Outcrop spawns enemies. Their types depend on the region, and their levels scale with your World Level. They drop items, Mora and Character EXP like enemies in any other encounter, so you get those whether or not you pay for the blossom. Your World Level also sets how much Companionship EXP, Character EXP Materials or Mora the blossom itself gives.

When you clear an outcrop and claim its blossom, a new one appears somewhere else in the same nation. If you clear it and leave the blossom unopened, it stays where it is, and no new outcrop spawns until the Daily Reset. The Bounty of the Earth achievements count collected rewards, not clears. One of them needs 800 Ley Line Blossom rewards, and a claim paid with Condensed Resin raises that counter by one instead of three.

How to craft and use Condensed Resin

Condensed Resin lets you store Original Resin for later, with a few limits on where you can spend it.

1. Unlock it by reaching Reputation Level 3 in Liyue, or buy it from the blacksmith in Mondstadt or Liyue.
2. Gather the ingredients for each one: 1 Crystal Core, 60 Original Resin and 100 Mora.
3. Craft it through Alchemy, and count what you already hold first, since 5 is the most you can carry at once.
4. Craft it when a Battle Pass mission asks you to use Original Resin. Crafting advances that counter, but spending Condensed Resin later does not.
5. Spend it for 300 Adventure EXP per use. The conversion gives none, and 60 Original Resin spent directly at 1:5 also comes to 300, so the Adventure EXP total is the same either way.
6. Use it on Domains that accept it and on Ley Line Outcrops. Trounce Blossoms for Normal and Weekly Bosses reject it, and Events that cost Original Resin accept it only when their details say so.

When Fragile Resin and Primogem refills are worth it

Two items restore Resin on the spot, and Primogems can buy more.

• Fragile Resin ×1 restores 60 Original Resin instantly, and Transient Resin ×1 does the same.
• Primogem refills give 60 Original Resin each, up to 6 times a day.
• Prices rise in steps across the six daily refills: 50, 100, 100, 150, 200 and 200 Primogems, so the first refill of the day is the cheapest.
• Manual refills can push you above 200, up to a hard cap of 2,000, so a refill used on a full bar is not lost.
• Refilling is blocked once you hold more than 1,940 Original Resin.
• Natural regeneration stays stopped while you are at or above 200, so spend back below the cap after a refill to get the 8-minute timer running again.

A daily routine that wastes no Resin

You can follow this routine once you have unlocked an activity whose rewards cost Original Resin, such as Blossoms of Revelation in Mondstadt and Liyue at Adventure Rank 8.

1. Open the map and check the Resin icon to see how long until the next unit and until a full bar.
2. Log in at intervals of no more than 24 hours and spend Original Resin down to below 20. Without manual refills, 24 hours of regeneration adds 180, so the bar stays under the 200 cap until your next login.
3. Split the 180 into claims: 9 claims at 20 Resin, or 4 claims at 40 plus 1 at 20.
4. Open every Ley Line Blossom you clear. A cleared but unopened outcrop blocks a new one from spawning until the Daily Reset.
5. Do Battle Pass missions that only need a clear without paying, and keep your Resin for the rewards you want.
6. Use a leftover 10 Resin at a Blacksmith once you reach Adventure Rank 30. The Mystic Enhancement Ore recipe takes 10 Original Resin, 3 Magical Crystal Chunks and 100 Mora for 6 Mystic Enhancement Ore, plus bonus Adventure EXP and Companionship EXP.
7. Turn 60 Resin you cannot spend today into Condensed Resin, as long as you hold fewer than 5.
