Genshin Impactimmerses you in the vast world of Teyvat, where you embark on a journey to explore its seven nations: Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, Natlan, and Snezhnaya. Each nation features multiple sub-regions and side areas to explore, offering breathtaking scenery and numerous treasure-filled chests.
While exploration has always been rewarding due to the abundance of chests,Genshin Impacthas further incentivized it by introducing progression rewards in newly released regions. Starting with theGenshin Impact5.1 update,HoYoverse began offering 300 Primogemsfor achieving 40%, 60%, and 80% Exploration Progress in new regions, along with an additional 100 Primogems for completing the main world quest series of the region. This update has given players a strong motivation to thoroughly explore the Pyro Nation.

Tips For Increasing Exploration Progress In Genshin Impact
Once you’ve unlocked teleport waypoints and collected most of the Oculi, the next step is to focus on unlocking chests. Chests can be found lying in the open, locked behind enemies, or hidden within puzzles and challenges.
If you haven’t unlockedTreasure Compass gadgets, finding chests can be challenging. In such cases, it’s recommended tocomplete world quest seriesin a region, such as theTracer No Tracing and Seeker No Finding quests, to unlock hidden areas rich with chests, including Luxurious and Precious ones for Primogems.
Another effective strategy is unlocking shrines in each region. Unlocking a shrine increases the region’s Exploration Progress by a few percent, and the chest inside the shrine also contributes to the progress.
Lastly, if you’re committed to grinding for Exploration Progress, the officialHoYoLab Interactive MapforGenshin Impactis an invaluable tool.
