6.0 (Luna I) Update - New Quests

New Archon Quests

Song of the Welkin Moon Act 1 and 2

A new Archon Quest will release with the 6.0 (Luna I) Update. This has been referred to as the "Song of the Welkin Moon: Segue" during the 6.0 (Luna I) Livestream and is likely the official introduction to the story that takes place in Nod-Krai.

Progress Through the Story for Free Aino Copy

Travelers can claim 1 copy of the 4-Star, Aino for free while progressing through the Song of the Welkin Moon Act 1: A Dance of Snowy Tides and Hoarfrost Groves.

Story Quests are Part of the Archon Quest

Story Quest Integration

As part of a story optimization strategy, it was discussed in the livestream that the 5-Star Story quests (and 4-Star hangouts) will instead be fully integrated into the plot of the Archon Quest, rather than being stand-alone quests. This is because the backgrounds of Lauma, Flins, and Aino have been said to be integral to the narrative, and should overall make the story in Nod-Krai more concrete and whole.

6.0 Update (Luna I) - New Region & Reaction

Nod-Krai, an Autonomous Region Located in Sneznhaya

▲ Nod-Krai Map as seen in the Nod-Krai Teaser Web Event

Nod-Krai's addition as a new Country-level Region update is formally confirmed with the 6.0 (Luna I) Livestream. Travelers embark on the journey to Nod-Krai from Natlan alongside Ineffa to uncover the "moon's secrets". The first location is called Nasha Town.

The new region will feature new explorable locations, gimmicks, a new Seelie type called "kuuhenki", and a regional mechanic called "kuuhvahki", which is described as an ancient power only found in Nod-Krai. The kuuhvahki is similar to Natlan's Phlogiston and will likely be used to solve puzzles and traversal.

New Lunar Reaction - Lunar Bloom

Similar to how Ineffa enables Lunar-Charged when she's in a party, both Flins and Lauma also activate certain Lunar Reactions when added to a party. Flins enables the same Lunar-Charged reaction as Ineffa, while Lauma introduces Lunar-Bloom. These reactions are explained further in their individual guides.

6.0 (Luna I) Update - New Events

The 6.0 (Luna I) Update coincides with Genshin Impact's 5th Launch Anniversary. The Livestream didn't go into detail about the initial events, but they did show a sneak preview using the image above. There will be an event that rewards a weapon, which is likely the main event, and then a few smaller events after.

Permanent Free Constellation Event

Starting from the Version 6.0 (Luna I) Update, a new permanent event, "To Temper Thyself and Journey Far" will become available. During the season period, Travelers must achieve 5 daily training goals every week to finish weekly goals, which grants various rewards. After finishing 8 weekly goals, you will be able to select a Stellar Fortuna from a select list of 5-star characters. This is limited to 1 Stellar Fortuna per character, but you are able to claim up to four Stella Fortuna from the featured character list.

According to an official source, this event is considered periodic, and that this season will last until December 1, 2025. After this date, it is said that a new 'season' of the event will begin. This may imply that other characters will be included in the list as well.

5th Anniversary Events

Rainbow's End: Silvery Flux

This is a Check-In Event that gives players specific rewards over the course of a few days. You are required to login within the event period to receive each reward.

Standard Character Selector

In the "Uncover Lunar Realms, Hone the Eventide Radiance" event, Travelers can select one among the standard 5-Star characters to be received for free.

The Selector's duration is said to be extended beyond the current version to account for new players who might miss the 5th Anniversary, though an exact deadline wasn't provided in the livestream. The Selector will also provide Ascension Materials for your chosen character up until level 60.

6.0 (Luna I) Update - New Bosses

Knuckle Duckle

A giant mechanism near the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop that Aino may have created. The boss doesn't automatically aggro approaching Travelers, but you can instead interact with the boss via dialogue to either initiate combat, open a shop window or to listen to more dialogue. There seems to be special interactions with the boss if you speak to it using Aino or Ineffa.

Radiant Moonfly

A boss that was stated to drop Lauma's Ascension Materials. No further info about the boss was revealed in the livestream.

6.0 Update (Luna I) - New Features & Updates

Masterless Stellar Fortuna

The Masterless Stellar Fortuna is a new gameplay mechanic that allows you to raise a character’s max level cap to 100. You can obtain one Stellar Fortuna whenever you pull a 5-Star character that is already at Constellation 6 on your account. Characters at Level 100 gain higher base stats and enhanced base effects when triggering Elemental Reactions.

Uncapping a character has also been shown to instantly raise them to Level 100, removing the need for additional Adventure EXP or Mora. This system will apply retroactively once implemented, granting you a Masterless Stellar Fortuna for every extra copy of a 5-Star you have pulled beyond C6 since starting your account.

Characters as Overworld NPCS

This is a feature similar to a past event, the Travelers' Tales, where you can interact with characters in the Overworld and receive special dialogues or cutscenes. The event is now made permanent and you can specifically use a new item called Travel Accounts at the Narukami Shrine to specifically choose who you want to encounter in Teyvat. This feature will include the interactions from previous Travelers' Tales chapters.

Meeting Points

Joint Meetings are a gameplay system that allows you to further interact with specific characters in key areas. It aims to establish the characters as actual people in the world, where you can learn more about their day to day within select scenarios. Completing these events will give you rewards, and are very reminiscent of the Tribal Chronicles feature found in Natlan.

Obtain Avatar Frame

In the new gameplay feature, Valiant Chronicles, you can take on Local Legend bounties from Katheryne and receive a special Avatar Frame that you be seen through your profile.

Imaginarium Theatre: Lunar Mode

The Imaginarium Theatre now has a mode higher than Visionary, which is titled Lunar Mode. In this mode, you need a minimum of 28 characters, and can have up to 32 characters. Only 1 supporting character can be borrowed still. Completing this mode provides Primogems, other rewards and a special collectible called Lunar Arcana that you can trade with friends. There are many different Lunar Arcana that can be obtained.

New Envisioned Echoes

Echo Preview

The new version will also include new Envisioned Echoes for Nahida and Yelan that can be unlocked by completing the trial found at the Imaginarium Theatre.

New Myriad Melodies

The 6.0 (Luna I) Update will also include new Myriad Melodies songs, featuring a new album and score themes for Xilonen, Ayaka and Diluc. You can earn Primogems by getting a specific score on the featured beatmaps.

Genshin Impact: Miliastra Wonderland

Alongside the 6.0 (Luna I) Version for Genshin Impact, the update will also formally launch an entirely different "game" called Miliastra Wonderland, which is entirely independent from Genshin Impact's gameplay and story. It instead functions similar to a sandbox platform that offers extensive character customization, game simulations, level creation and many more. It is also stated to be supported by a Creator's Academy and Forum to ease eager players into the experience.
