In some exciting news from HoYoverse’s latest developer discussion thread around their open-world adventure RPG Genshin Impact, they have confirmed a major change that players have been asking for, for a while – an increase in the Original Resin Limit.
Original Resin is Genshin Impact’s equivalent of the Stamina system found in other mobile games. You can complete certain tasks such as boss battles and domains, but are only able to claim the rewards for them – often artefacts and levelling materials – by spending Original Resin which slowly accumulates over time. While HoYoverse’s other free-to-play 3D RPG Honkai: Star Rail has been a bit more generous with the limits of their equivalent of stamina, and the ability to accumulate a sizable reserve, the same has not been true for Genshin Impact.
At least until Version 4.7, set for release in the coming weeks, that is. From this version, the cap of Original Resin will jump from 160 to 200. This is typically one or two boss battle or domain runs, however it does mean that players with completely full reserves will now be able to craft a full set of five Condensed Resin (used to claim double rewards from a domain) rather than only four. Its a small quality of life change, but hopefully an indicator that arguably one of Genshin Impact’s more frustrating free-to-play components is actively being looked at and revised.
