Whether you’re just starting your journey through Teyvat or trying to unlock new regions, your Adventure Rank (AR) is the key to progressing in Genshin Impact. From unlocking quests to increasing World Level and earning better loot, AR progression affects nearly every aspect of the game.
This guide will walk you through the fastest and most efficient ways to level up Adventure Rank, what activities give the most AR EXP, and how to avoid common pitfalls that slow your progress.
🔰 What Is Adventure Rank in Genshin Impact?
Adventure Rank (AR) is your account-level progression. It unlocks:
- New story quests and regions
- Domains, weekly bosses, and world bosses
- Higher World Levels (which increase enemy difficulty and loot quality)
- Daily commissions and the Battle Pass
💡 You gain AR EXP by completing various activities—not from combat alone.
🔝 Best Ways to Level Up Adventure Rank Fast
Here’s the priority order for fast and effective AR farming:
1. Do Your Daily Commissions (Every Day!)
- EXP Gained: 250 per commission × 4 + 500 bonus = 1,500 AR EXP/day
- Unlocked at AR 12
- They only take 10–15 minutes and offer Primogems, Mora, character XP, and Adventure EXP
📌 Tip: Always complete all four and claim the daily bonus from Katheryne at the Adventurers’ Guild.
2. Complete Archon and Story Quests
- EXP Gained: 400–1,200+ per quest
- Quests often come with AR EXP, Primogems, Mora, and character materials
- Focus on Archon Quests (main story) early—they’re AR-gated and rich in EXP
📌 Tip: These unlock key game features like Co-Op Mode, Domains, and Statues of The Seven.
3. Spend Resin Every Day (Don’t Let It Cap!)
- Original Resin regenerates 1 per 8 minutes (max 160)
- Use it on:
- Bosses (Weekly and Elite)
- Domains (Artifacts, Talent Books, Weapon Materials)
- Ley Line Outcrops (Mora or Character EXP)
📌 Tip: Use Fragile Resin to get a quick AR EXP boost, especially during events or double-drop days.
4. Unlock and Offer to Statues of The Seven
- EXP Gained: 100–400 AR EXP per offering
- Collect Anemoculus, Geoculus, Electroculus, Dendroculus in each region
- Offering them increases stamina and gives Adventure Rank EXP
📌 Tip: Use the in-game map and interactive web maps to track their locations.
5. Open Chests During Exploration
- Common Chest: ~20 AR EXP
- Exquisite Chest: ~30 AR EXP
- Precious Chest: ~40 AR EXP
- Luxurious Chest: ~60 AR EXP
📌 Tip: Chest farming may seem slow, but it adds up fast—especially in new areas like Sumeru or Fontaine.
6. Clear Domains (Artifact & Talent Domains)
- Domains give a ton of AR EXP + upgrade materials
- Prioritize domains that match your current team’s build needs
📌 Tip: Use Resin here only once you unlock 4★ or 5★ drops—usually at AR 25+
7. Defeat Elite and Weekly Bosses
- Elite Bosses: ~100 AR EXP each (60 Resin)
- Weekly Bosses: ~300–600 AR EXP (30 Resin for first 3 per week)
📌 Tip: Always fight weekly bosses like Stormterror, Childe, and Azhdaha before reset for max AR and loot.
8. Participate in Limited-Time Events
- Many events provide massive AR EXP, Primogems, and even free characters
- Events are often tied to patch updates and run for 2–3 weeks
📌 Tip: Check the Events tab daily so you don’t miss limited-time rewards!
🛑 What NOT to Do When Leveling AR
Avoid these common beginner mistakes:
- ❌ Don’t rush to increase your World Level before you’re ready.
- ❌ Don’t waste Resin on low-tier materials or characters you won’t use
- ❌ Don’t neglect talents, weapons, or artifacts just because your AR is going up
You’ll face harder enemies and domains as you level up, so balance AR growth with team building.
If you do increase your World Level too fast, remember that you have the option to lower it by one level.
🎁 Bonus: Adventure Rank Milestone Rewards
As you increase your Adventure Rank, you unlock special milestone rewards at Katheryne’s counter. These include:
- Fates (for pulling on banners)
- Mora
- Hero’s Wit (Character XP)
- Fragile Resin
- Weapons and Ascension Materials
📌 Tip: Don’t forget to claim your AR rewards manually from the Adventurers’ Guild menu!
✅ Play Smart, Not Just Fast
Leveling your Adventure Rank fast in Genshin Impact is all about consistency. Daily commissions, resin management, exploration, and strategic questing will naturally take you to AR 40+ in just a few weeks. But remember, it’s not just about rushing to the next world level—team strength, resource efficiency, and fun exploration matter too.
