Beginner's Roadmap (AR 1 → 45)

Numbers shift with patches — always confirm in-game. The core idea: unlock systems first, farm artifacts last.

Phase 1: AR 1–25

• Push the Archon Quest line and unlock waypoints, crafting, and the Serenitea Pot.
• Your starter squad plus the Traveler is enough — don't overthink teams yet.
• Collect Anemo/Geo Oculus and spend statues' forte on ATK/HP/DEF for your main DPS.

Phase 2: AR 25–35

• Raise your World Level on schedule — better drops follow.
• Take your first main DPS to level 80 with a maxed weapon.
• Do all four Daily Commissions every day for Primogems and AR EXP.

Phase 3: AR 35–45

• Do not burn resin on 5-star artifact domains before AR45 — drop rates and substats aren't guaranteed yet.
• Lock in roles: one main DPS, one sub-DPS, one support; cover key constellations and weapons.
• At AR45, guaranteed gold artifacts unlock — that's when farming starts.

Common Mistakes

1. Farming artifacts too early and wasting weeks of resin.
2. Leveling every character evenly so nobody can clear Abyss.
3. Ignoring elemental resonance and reactions — a hard damage ceiling.
