Genshin Impact Quest Items Guide

Genshin Impact always amazes me with the unique items we get throughout our journey with a plethora of in-game items. Not only are we traveling across vibrant nations but collecting things on our journey in the World of Teyvat.

At first, I thought I could only collect items from the overworld and put them to use, like cooking or forging. But soon, I discovered that there are items that can be used in certain Genshin Impact quests.

I remember collecting Crimson crystal at the beginning of the game, thinking about where I could use it. Until one day, a quest came, and I finally put the item to use. Quest items, as they are categorized in the inventory, are unique items that you will also use in your adventures and obtain.

I am here with an interesting Genshin Impact Quest items guide where I will take you through numerous Quest items available in the game. We will discuss what these Quest items are and their types and discuss interesting questions to further pique your interest. So, sit back, and let’s go straight into Quest items!

Quest Items, What are they?

As the name suggests, Quest Items are items that the player obtains during Quests. Usually, you can obtain them during the quests or in the overworld, where you have to submit them to an item or an Non-playable character to progress through the quest.

Like in the Look for Vermeers paintbrush guide, you must submit two items that will go into statue structure and progress through the quest after doing that.

There are Quest items like photographs or notes that you can go through to get hints about the quest and find some locations where you can do certain tasks to progress. In the same quest, Vermeer gives you photographs of where he left his paint material and urged you to fetch them for him.

But not all Quest items will be used, as some Quest items, you obtain sit in your inventory and have no use till now. These are the items that may be used in the future, but for now, they sit in your inventory, and you cannot do anything about them. Also, there are Quest items that are event-exclusive only.

Like event-exclusive NPCs that disappear after the event has ended, similar is the Event Quest items that go away once the event has ended. It’s no wonder there are many events happening in Genshin Impact in updates, and sometimes they have Quest items that expire as soon as the event ends.

List of Quest Items

Tainted Blood

Before I start to jot down Quest items, there are a few things that you should remember. A short disclaimer is that more than 500 Quest items are in the game, and even some are event-exclusive Quest items.

Event-exclusive items pertain to a certain event and expire after that event. So, it’s better to cover them up in event guides when new events launch or the previous ones repeat in the game.

I’ve sorted out a list of tens of Quest items in the game that I felt connected to. I suggest you look at them and see which ones you have collected already. I know jotting down all of them will make it cluttered, so here is a list of the Quest items I’m fascinated with.

Tainted Blood

You get this item after defeating Dvalin in “A Long shot” quest. Maybe it will have a use in the future, but not now. Defeating Dvalin in the early game might be tough, so it’s better to have properly invested characters before initiating the challenge.

Monolith Fragment

You receive an item after defeating the Overlord of the Vortex, Osial, in a battle. So far, it doesn’t have any use in the game though this could change in the future.

Funerary Mask

Currently, no use in the game, but you obtain this item after defeating La Signora, Eight of the Fatui Harbingers, in an Archon quest at Inazuma. It might be possible that this item can be used down the line as proof of Signora’s death, but that’s speculation from my end.

Realm Dispatch

An item that allows you to invite companions into your Serenitea pot which you get after interacting with the Realm spirit, Tubby, in the game. You will have to interact with the Teapot spirit on a lot of occasions, so it’s likely that you will obtain this item.

Naganohara Fireworks Note

Genshin Impact Naganohara Fireworks

A quest item that was received during Yoimiya’s story quest contains firework formulae within it as a record. Yoimiya will be able to formulate the fireworks if you have remembered them correctly.

Grand Narukami Shrine Omamori

An Omamori that was given to the Traveler by Yae Miko had a key role within the Plane of Euthymia. Currently, the item is not used in the game, and it serves more as a keepsake. A lower rarity version of it is given to you earlier, but once you progress further into the Archon quest, the item’s rarity will change.

Lucky Omamori

An Omamori was given to the Traveler by Thoma after reaching a certain ending in his hangout event. More like a good luck charm item for the Traveler that’s been wished by Thoma.

Shriveled Seed

You receive an item from a chest after exploring a giant tree in the Chasm: Underground Mines area. The area is peaceful, serene, and has a positive vibe to it. Currently, no use in the game now, but I speculate that we may see it in the future quests.

Dream Sakura

You will receive this item after completing the Raiden Shogun’s story quest, where it relates to Raiden Makoto, who was the sister of Ei, the current Electro Archon of Inazuma.

You will witness a series of events in the quest where you will get to know about the Original Electro Archon and her role in the Cataclysm that occurred 500 years ago.

Sangonomiya Chronicles

An item that you will find in the Komore Teahouse is written by a famous historian named ” The Great Calligrapher.” The book features the history of Watatsumi Island in a calligraphy style of writing. A bunch of books will end up in the Quest items section.

Sacred Sakura Cleansing Summary

Sacred Sakura Cleansing Summary

An important world quest item you will receive during the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual quest contains information about the cleansing ritual. At the end of the quest, you have to fight a mini-boss and solve plenty of puzzles through the world quest. This is one of the most memorable world quests in the game.

Onibudou

A book that you can obtain from Yae Publishing house is written by a writer named Junkichi. You can find this book in the game’s cabinet inside the Yae publishing house. It’s easy to obtain and you can just grab by going into the Yae publishing house in Inazuma.

Orb of Blue Depths

You obtain an orb after defeating shadowy husks in the Chasm: Underground mines region. You must collect nine orbs to unlock a gate in the nameless ruins. A heads up that the shadowy husks are a bit challenging if your characters aren’t leveled up properly and are located in tricky places.

Along with the Divinity: Prologue

You can obtain a book from the Grand Master’s Office that features a story without the presence of archons. The author covers the book in humor and logic in various instances.

Letter from the Abyss Order

A quest item that you get during Darknight Hero’s crisis quest where you can derive that the Abyss is planning an attack on Mondstadt city.

Darknight Hero is an alias of Diluc, and you witness him defending the city against a Cryo abyss mage. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this quest and claim that this comes under one of the best quests in the early game that has action-packed fighting scenes.

1000 Years of Loneliness

After completing the quest Troublesome Work, you will get this book, which notes the beginning of the Springvale Hunter’s fantasy journey. It focuses on the life of Gothson, which is a fantastical fog story of his life.

Wind, Courage, and Wings

Genshin Impact Wind, Courage, and Wings

This book is an item you will obtain from the quest Glide with the Wind and mentions that Amber mistakenly took it, which is about fables?

Gliding Instruction Manual

A book you obtain in the Outrider Style quest mentions the information related to the Windgliders. It’s reading material for anyone who wants to take a gliding license in the Mondstadt.

Most of your wind gliding quests will feature Amber. She is the only remaining Outrider in the city and has previously won numerous gliding tournaments. So, she’s pretty qualified when it comes to Gliding.

Godwin’s Letter

A love letter was written by Godwin to Glory that you obtain during the Long Distance Love quest detailing their love. It indeed is romantic and will make any reader blush. Seems like Godwin really loves Glory with all his heart.

The Wrath of Haishan

It is a quest item that you obtain from a commission “Cliffhanger” and selects a certain NPC in the commission. In a nutshell, this text features the story of the Crux Fleet. The Crux Fleet is under the command of Beidou, who bows to no one and has slain mighty beasts with her raw strength alone.

Star-Shaped Gem

You will find this item in the ruins of the Shirikoro Peak, where you have to use a Gadget Peculiar Pinion to access the hidden areas. To get this item, you must open chests in the hidden areas.

With the help of the Peculiar Pinion Gadget, you can unlock those areas and grab these gems. You have to complete a few tasks after getting the gems and eventually get decent chest rewards upon completion.

Verses of Equilibrium

A book you can get at Wanwen Bookhouse contains ancient incantations used to respect the Geo Archon, Rex lapis, and the Yaksha Adepti. Additionally, it also serves as a historical record of the ancient belief in Rex lapis. Rex lapis is an alias for Zhongli, who is the Geo archon of Liyue.

Ruin Guard Loot

You have to collect loot from a Ruin guard in Tales of the Winter commission, which is given by an NPC named Viktor. Viktor will give you information related to the Fatui once you have completed various phases of this commission. I’ll recommend you check out our guide on the Tales of Winter commission in-depth.

Sigil of Permission

An item that allows its holders to enter the residence of Adepti and protects them from any Adepti as well. This served as an important item in freeing Osial in an archon quest and was used by Childe to do the same.

That’s exactly what I’m going to do after writing this guide. Also, you get to know about Childe’s other side, where he cares about his family but cannot deny the command of Her Majesty, the Tsaritsa. You should check out the Fatui Harbingers guide to know more about the Fatui and its ranks.

A Discarded Blade

Rinzou’s Signet

You will find mysterious marks at Watatsumi Island, and completing a hidden objective will reward you with this item. Rinzou was a great pirate who left this item as proof of his adventurous life. I used to think these were the marks left by the Yakshas, but I was wrong.

Photo of a Strange Rock

You have to collect five photos of strange fossils that you encounter in the Chasm: Underground mines, where you have to eventually submit these photos to Khedive.

I completed this quest today and would say some interesting lore hints were given by him. One that stood out to me was that he pointed out that the fossils were created at the same time. Meaning that some force instantly changed the whole second in a split second, and that’s why they were preserved so well.

Archaic Stone

An extremely rare item that can be found in the ancient mountains is obtainable from an NPC named Kun Jun during Zhongli’s story quest. You have to obtain three of them to complete another quest.

A Firsthand Guide to Summoning Spirits

Another item that you obtain during Yae Miko’s story quest is Divina Vulpes. I remember performing exorcism during this quest because it’s rare that you see ghosts in the game. But, yes, if you don’t know, there are ghosts in the game with whom you have to interact sometimes.

A quest item that you can obtain during the Lotus Eater quest is the fruit of the Dragonbone Flower which can bring peace to one’s mind.

it is a quest item that you can obtain from a chest in the Nine pillars of the peace world quest. We have a brief guide on the quest on our site, and I’ll recommend you to go through it to know how to ace it.

After completing the quest, you can exchange this quest for mora from mentioned NPCs in the guide. A heads up that I’ll advise you to go with an option for food and mora.

Dull Golden Bridle

it is an item that you will get in The Subterranean Trials of Drake and Serpent quest and is the hereditary national treasure of Byakuyakoku.

Great Snowboar King Meat

Great Snowboar King Meat

This cold meat is available after you defeat the Great Snowboar king in the Dragonspine region. With exquisite flavor and rich in fat, you can obtain this item in Ah, Fresh Meat world quest. Though it indeed is helpful in a few dishes but not necessarily that you should start farming it for days.

Crimson Crystal

When you start the game, you will venture into the heart of the forests to find Venti and Dvalin, where Dvalin will leave a teardrop. Paimon will urge you to collect that teardrop, and eventually, it will be purified by the Traveler’s powers. It’s uncertain why it gets purified, but this will sit in your inventory for a while.

Clear Dvalin Tear

It is an item that you will get after purifying the Crimson Crystal that you obtain at the very beginning of the game. After it gets purified by the Traveler, it will be used to partially repair the Holy lyre der Himmel.

Items like this one prove that currently, the items you have in your inventory may have a use in future quests.

Smaragdus Jadeite

An item that is used by Madame ping to craft the Serenitea pot for the player is a housing system where the player can do numerous activities.

It is said to be resistant to vision holders who will face side effects if they are in contact with this item. You will frequently visit the Serenitea pot to claim various rewards and modify your housing system.

Event-Exclusive Quest Items

Now there are some Quest items that are available during certain events only. You can check some major events that have happened in the game in our events guide and go through them to know more about their themes. Usually, these Quest Items disappear once you submit them or the event duration ends.

I’ve avoided writing them as they are better suited for the events they were featured in. Also, there’s no guarantee that when these events will be re-run or come in the future. Items like Husk Gem are event items that were featured in the Three Realms of the Gateway offering event.

Bag, Special or Fresh Quest Items

Genshin Impact Smaragdus Jadeite

Quest items will have a Fresh or Special prefix to their names because they are related to a certain category of events. Usually, for a bag of items, you have to either submit them in daily commissions or quests in the game.

You will notice that they are in a group and have to take them up to a place or deliver it to an NPC. The Fresh and Special dishes may have to be submitted to NPCs for the completion of certain quests.

I do agree that there are numerous items that are still left out but worry not! As we push more guides on our site, we will update the lists with the latest additions and briefly explain the Quest items you can obtain in those quests. There are plenty of Quest guides on our sites, and we have mentioned the Quest items that you will get.

Some of them are temporary, while others are permanent. If your favorite Quest item isn’t on the list, then hop on to our Quest guides because we have mentioned everything in detail.

A Few Questions

Let’s go over a few questions that you may have after going through this guide. With plenty of items in the game, I’ve listed the ones that I’ve found relatable in my experience. I’ll encourage you to review those items to know their origin and backstory.

Question: How many Quest Items are there in the Game? Do You have any Idea?

Answer: There are more than 500 Quest items in the game, and we have only discussed a hundred of them. But here’s the thing, some of them are event-exclusive and don’t exist for a longer duration in the game. Some Quest items you will receive after completing some quests but still don’t have a use in the game yet.

Maybe it’s possible that Genshin Impact will launch new quests in the future where we have to use Quest Items obtained from the previous ones. That’s just me being optimistic and really hoping that something like that happens.

Question: Do Quest Items have a Rarity with them?

Answer: They may or may not have rarity associated with them. I’ve observed that the quests that hold significance in the game have rare Quest items associated with them. Now, there are no rarities associated with Quests, but you can judge a quest depending on its rarity.

Archon Quests and Character story quests are some of the major quests in the game, so it’s likely that the Quest items you will receive from them would be a higher rarity. But there are some items that don’t have rarity associated with them, although some of them may look important.

Question: Which is the First-ever Quest Item we Get in the Game?

Answer: Crimson Crystal is the first-ever Quest item that you will get in the game. As you start the game, you will go inside the forest area and unlock your first statue of the seven.
Once you resonate with the statue, get Anemo powers, and are about to travel into the forest, you will see a blue dragon flying over your head towards the forest. That Dragon is Dvalin,  and Paimon urges you to follow it into the heart of the forest.

As you head inside, you will notice Venti near Dvalin, where soon you are caught, and they both leave the site. A Crimson Crystal is left behind, basically Dvalin’s teardrop.

It has a red shine around it, and once you obtain it, you will be able to purify it later. The purified crystal, Clear Dvalin Tear, is eventually used to repair the Holy Lyre der Himmel during an Archon quest, and that’s where this item is put to use.

Now, you will notice that this item will sit in your inventory for a long until you reach the Archon quest and use it on the Lyre. This means it’s possible that the Quest items we have in our inventory may be used down the line in future updates.

Quest Items Remarks

Still, if you see my inventory, there are numerous Quest items that I don’t have a clue about why they are there or what their use is. But in a nutshell, I keep them as a souvenir so that I can relate to the quest I completed. I remember an item named Sigil of Permission, also featured in a Genshin Impact trailer related to Childe.

That item also had a major role in an Archon quest and still sits in my inventory. Quest items like these serve more like a memory for the adventures we have completed and shed light on the experiences we had.

I would say even if you don’t know what some Quest items are meant for in your inventory, just wait for the right opportunity. Sometimes we get Quest items that will have use in later stages of the game, and who knows what surprise they hold for us?

While some Quest items are beautiful and vibrant, others have a creepy look, with one having blood on it. It’s thrilling and full of suspense, how the game turns from happy-go-lucky to an eerie vibe in a few quests.

Well, we should wait for future quests to unravel our secrets, and that was it for the Quest items guide. I hope you find incredible Quest items before your friends in the game and share your stories with them.

For now, the time has come to take a leave, and before going, I suggest you look at our guides. We have brief guides on various items in the game, and I’m sure you will get to know a lot of interesting facts and theories!
