Genshin Impact fans can make the most out of their gameplay with these tips on how best to use Original Resin.
For new players, some of the game’s mechanics might seem confusing at times, such as understanding how wishes in Genshin Impact work. However, they will be happy to hear that Original Resin in Genshin Impact isn’t as scary as it sounds.
Updated on January 31st, 2025, by Aditi Jeyanathan: Genshin Impact has a multitude of ways for players to use their resin. As the game grows and updates each month with new characters, regions, and optimizations, there is a number of ways in which your resin can be used. It’s always good to be wise about when and where to use your resin, as Genshin Impact often introduces events where your resin usage can even be halved. Here is a list of various things you can do with your resin ranked from most to least optimal.
World Bosses and Ley Line Challenges
Start Out Small
This option is mainly for newbies starting the game and any player who falls within Adventure Rank 8–20. This is a crucial time in building your account and familiarizing yourself with the lay of the land. in Genshin Impact. At this point, you only get the option of using Original Resin, and it’s always best to use it on any World Bosses that you require for characters. The same goes for farming Ley Lines, as it’s very easy to run out of Experience Books and Mora in Genshin Impact. If you have trouble fighting World Bosses in solo mode, you always have the option of going into co-op for help.
Weapon Ascension Domain
Crafting Weapons Is Just As Important
Once you’ve hit Adventure Rank 20 and above, start heading into the Weapon Ascension domain, as that’s your best bet for farming. You can use your Original Resin here and, since you have yet to unlock the recipe for Condensed Resin, keep track of the days each domain unlocks and enter as you see fit when an interesting reward pops up.
Character Talent Domains
Raising Talent Levels Unlocks New Potential
From your Weapon Ascension domains, slowly incorporate your Character’s Talent domains into your schedule as well. It’s also safe to farm here using your Original Resin until you reach Adventure Rank 45. You’ll also be able to unlock higher levels the more you increase your AR level, so it’s best to pile in any missing materials you need to ascend your characters. You can also include the occasional World Boss and Leyline run, as it’s just a good habit to make sure you always farm those necessary materials.

Artifact Farming Domains
Needs To Be Farmed After AR 45
Once you’ve hit Adventure Rank 45, you can pretty much do anything you want. You’ve unlocked all the domains and now your Artifact RNG is significantly better due to your higher AR level. You can start off with Original Resin, but make sure to eventually unlock the Condensed Resin recipe from Liyue’s Reputation, as it will give you double the rewards when using it in the domain. As your main focus is now on Artifact Farming, you can set a schedule depending on the Character you’re building, and keep an eye on what materials you need from the other domains as well.
Weekly Boss Domains
Collect These Materials For Your Character Talents
Once you feel confident enough to head into a Weekly Boss domain, you need to make sure to complete these Trounce Challenges within the given time. When you initially start, it might be hard to pass the trial, but you can always match in co-op and ask other higher-level players for help. Once you hit AR 45, make sure to set aside one day of the week where you can use all 200 of your Original Resin. The first three bosses of your choice will have their Resin consumption cut by half and the rest will take the standard 60 Original Resin required for rewards.

Hold On To Fragile Resin And Condense Original Resin
An Important Habit To Remember
Fragile Resin is extremely hard to come by and players receive most of it early on in the game. One mistake that a lot of late-game players made when starting out was using their Fragile Resin early on for World Bosses and Leyline Outcrops. This is one of the biggest mistakes you can make, as when you hit AR 45 and you’re running out of resin to use in the Artifact Domains (which does happen), you are going to wish you still had that Fragile Resin. Once you do get the recipe for Condensed Resin, remember to always Condense your resin, no matter which domain you plan on using. The only other time you shouldn’t do this is when you plan on using it for a World Boss or when Genshin Impact is having a Ley Line Overflow event.
