Genshin Impact developer miHoYo today shared a developer discussion that spans a variety of topics, but the most notable includes some details about an update to the title’s Original Resin system. In short, starting with version 1.3, the amount of original resin that players can access should increase dramatically thanks to two specific changes. It is not a total solution by any means, but it is something.
If you are somehow unfamiliar, the Original Resin System is basically the main time-limited resource in Genshin Impact. It does renew over time, but there is a maximum amount each player can hold at one time, and historically most if not all end game content, such as Ley Line Outcrops, Domains, and various events have all consumed large amounts of it. As you can imagine, this has been a point of frustration for many. But with the new update, in fact, only Ley Line Outcrops and Domains will cost Original Resin in the future.

“Any events in Version 1.3 that do not require challenging Ley Line Outcrops or domains will not consume original resin,” is the developer’s answer in part. “The vast majority of large-scale events in future releases will also not consume original resin.”
“Our BPs will be modified from version 1.3 to receive additional Fragile Resin rewards,” the reply continues. Fragile Resin is essentially a way to restore the original resin. Sojourner’s Battle Pass and Gnostic Hymn will get Fragile Resin × 1 per 10 levels, starting at Level 5, replacing the Mystic Enhancement Ores that were originally there. This does not change the total amount of Mystic Enhancement Ore you get through the BP. Enhancement Ores will instead be spread across other levels. “
Genshin Impact is currently available for free to play for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC and mobile devices. Version 1.2 “The Chalk Prince and the Dragon” update was recently released and added an all-new area, characters, events and more. The video game will eventually also be released for the Nintendo Switch. You can check out all of our previous coverage of the popular free-to-play title here.
