Whether you're a new Traveler just stepping into Teyvat or a returning player looking to catch up in the latest update, your Adventure Rank (AR) is the key to unlocking the full Genshin Impact experience. From new regions to story quests and high-level domains, your AR determines how much of the game you can access.
As of 2025, with new regions like Natlan on the horizon and the level cap still at AR 60, it's more important than ever to level up efficiently.
In this guide, we’ll cover the fastest, most optimized ways to level up your Adventure Rank in the current version of the game.
Why Adventure Rank Matters
Before we dive into leveling strategies, here's what increasing your AR unlocks:
-
Access to Archon and Story Quests
-
New Domains and Bosses
-
World Level increases (which affects enemy difficulty and loot)
-
Battle Pass rewards
-
Eligibility for Co-Op with higher-level players
-
New weekly and event content
Fastest Ways to Gain Adventure EXP in 2025
1. Daily Commissions (1,000 EXP per day)
Still the most consistent source of AR EXP. Completing all 4 commissions daily gives:
-
200 EXP per commission
-
500 EXP from the daily commission reward box
That’s a guaranteed 1,000 EXP every day — don’t skip these!
Tip: Always complete commissions before claiming the reward at the Adventurer’s Guild to get the extra bonus EXP.
2. Resin Spending (Up to 4,800 EXP/day)
Original Resin is one of your most valuable EXP sources. Each use of resin on the following gives 100-250 Adventure EXP:
-
Ley Line Outcrops (Blossoms of Wealth/Wisdom)
-
Elite Bosses (e.g., Pyro Regisvine, Hydro Hypostasis)
-
Weekly Bosses (e.g., Azhdaha, Raiden Shogun)
-
Domains (Artifacts, Talent Books, Weapon Ascension Materials)
Maximize Efficiency: Spend all 160 Original Resin daily. Use Condensed Resin on domains to save time.
3. Archon, Story, and World Quests
New in 2025, Natlan story content and character quests have been added, providing substantial AR EXP (~500–1,000+ EXP per quest).
Prioritize:
-
Archon Quests (Main story)
-
World Quests with multiple steps
-
Character Story Quests when unlocked
4. Adventure Handbook Chapters
These are one-time objectives that offer big EXP boosts as you complete them:
-
Defeating bosses
-
Clearing domains
-
Upgrading artifacts
-
Cooking meals, crafting, etc.
Tip: Knock out Adventure Handbook goals early on — especially if you're rushing through early AR levels.
5. Explore New Regions
With new zones like Fontaine's underground ruins and the upcoming Natlan zones, exploration is more rewarding than ever:
-
Unlock teleport waypoints
-
Open chests (especially luxurious and precious)
-
Activate Statue of the Seven
-
Complete puzzles and time trials
Chests often give 20–30 Adventure EXP each, and you're opening dozens during exploration — it adds up fast.
6. Events and Limited-Time Content
Time-limited events introduced in each patch offer large amounts of EXP alongside Primogems and materials. Don't miss:
-
Combat challenges
-
Mini-games
-
Questlines
Even casual participation can give you 1,000–2,000 EXP per event.
What NOT to Do (Common Mistakes)
-
Don’t hoard Resin – it caps at 160; use it daily.
-
Don’t skip Daily Commissions – even one missed day slows your AR growth.
-
Avoid low-EXP World Quests unless they unlock important areas or features.
Leveling Strategy by AR Tier
| AR Range | Strategy Focus |
|---|---|
| AR 1–25 | Focus on quests, commissions, and handbook |
| AR 25–35 | Start daily Resin use and unlock domains |
| AR 35–45 | Farm talent/weapon mats; prepare for WL increases |
| AR 45–55 | Farm high-level artifacts, weekly bosses |
| AR 55–60 | Maximize event participation; focus on final builds |
Conclusion: Level Up Smart in 2025
With Genshin Impact expanding every few months, leveling up your Adventure Rank isn’t just a grind — it’s your ticket to more story, rewards, and gameplay. Stick to dailies, use your resin wisely, explore new regions, and take advantage of events. You’ll hit AR milestones faster than you think.
Happy adventuring, Traveler!
