Genshin Impact: Best World Quests, Ranked

World quests in Genshin Impact are excellent ways for players to learn more about a particular region’s lore, and explore the mysteries that lie ahead. Players can also get to meet friendly and unfamiliar NPCs with each one of them usually having a surprise up their sleeves. These world quests often feature some of the most hard-hitting moments that the game has to offer.

World quests reward players with generous amounts of Adventure EXP, Primogems, Mora, Enhancement Ores, and EXP books, which are nice bonuses that any player would appreciate. However, the main catch of these story quests is the unique plots that expand the world of Teyvat and provide important insight into the events of the past.

10 Golden Slumber

Jebrael’s Last Dance

• Region: Sumeru
• Rewards: 1,650 Adventure EXP, 190 Primogems, 170,000 Mora, 16 Mystic Enhancement Ore, and 16 Hero’s Wit

Golden Slumber serves as the introduction to the lore of Sumeru’s desert. This World Quest also features the debut of Jeht, one of the most popular NPCs in the game. Golden Slumber provides a lot of clarity about the desert’s past and the workings of the Eremites.

It is a very enjoyable storyline filled with twists and turns culminating in a gut-wrenching ending where Jebrael sacrifices his life to save the rest of the group. The only downside to this quest is the large number of puzzles that need to be done to progress.

9 Khvarena Of Good And Evil

Restoring The Harvisptokhm

• Region: Sumeru
• Rewards: 3,050 Adventure EXP, 380 Primogems, 275,000 Mora, 36 Mystic Enhancement Ore, and 28 Hero’s Wit

Khvarena of Good And Evil is a world quest that can be initiated in the Girdle of the Sands. It is one of the longest world quests in the entire game and features a vast amount of content. Doing this quest should guarantee players explore almost every area in the Girdle of the Sands.

Players will have to assist Sorush and the Paris in restoring the Harvisptokhm by cleansing the Sign of Apaosha. However, they will also have to deal with an outsider plotting to ruin everything. The satisfying ending, the sheer amount of exploration, lore expansion, and fun personalities in the quest make it quite enjoyable despite its length.

8 Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual

Hanachirusato’s Final Wish

• Region: Inazuma
• Rewards: 1,500 Adventure EXP, 180 Primogems, 160,000 Mora, 1 Mask of Memories, 1 Memento Lens, 14 Mystic Enhancement Ore, and 16 Hero’s Wit

Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual is the main world quest on Inazuma’s Narukami Island. The name of the world quest is quite self-explanatory on what players need to do. Hanachirusato, a shrine maiden in Konda Village, will request the help of the players to carry out the titular ritual.

Despite being a short world quest, it has a lot of importance to the land of Inazuma as the cleansing ritual serves as a way to keep the nation healthy. The world quest has a consistent storyline and allows players to explore a lot of Narukami Island. The bittersweet ending is the cherry on top, which makes it one of the best world quests in the game.

7 Ann Of The Narzissenkreuz

Uncovering The Past Of A Secret Society

• Region: Fontaine
• Rewards: 1,600 Adventure EXP, 180 Primogems, 170,000 Mora, 15 Mystic Enhancement Ore, and 17 Hero’s Wit

Ann of the Narzissenkreuz is easily one of the most confusing yet breathtaking world quests in the game. The areas players can explore with the enjoyable cast of NPCs make it a very fun ride. However, players not paying keen attention can easily feel lost in the vast amount of information revealed in this world quest.

This world quest opens the floodgates to one of the most interesting storylines in the game, featuring the Narzissenkreuz Ordo and their efforts to defy the prophecy of Tevyat’s destruction. The world quest also features fun puzzles and a seamless experience which warrants it a spot on this list.

6 Dirge Of Bilqis

Journey To The Eternal Oasis

• Region: Sumeru
• Rewards: 1,900 Adventure EXP, 230 Primogems, 200,000 Mora, 20 Mystic Enhancement Ore, and 18 Hero’s Wit

Dirge of Bilqis is the direct continuation to Golden Slumber, and it improves upon its predecessor in terms of exploration. The world quest introduces players to the horrors of the desert’s past through Liloupar, a Jinni sealed in a bottle while helping Jeht bring the remains of her father, Jebrael, and mother to the Eternal Oasis. It also explores the mindset of the various Eremite tribes and their ambitions.

This world quest is relatively lengthy, but the payoff is well worth the time, as players can explore various areas in the Desert of Hadramaveth while uncovering the hidden past of the desert. The story ultimately ends at the beautiful Eternal Oasis and provides closure to Jeht’s story arc until another tragic incident.

5 Through The Mists

Unearthing A Terrible Secret

• Region: Inazuma
• Rewards: 1,600 Adventure EXP, 180 Primogems, 160,000 Mora, 16 Mystic Enhancement Ore, and 20 Hero’s Wit

Through The Mists is one of the hardest world quests due to the unique properties found on Tsurumi Island upon arrival. This world quest also introduces Ruu, one of the most tragic NPCs in the entire game. Players will have to reset their time quite a lot to progress through the quest as the island is completely covered in fog.

As the quest unfolds, players will get to realize the true reason for Ruu’s appearance as well as the phantoms scattered around the island. It is a haunting yet heartbreaking reveal that portrays the bleak nature of the game’s world at times. The captivating storyline and interesting lore make it one of the best world quests in Genshin Impact.

4 Aranyaka

Marana Begone

• Region: Sumeru
• Rewards: 5,050 Adventure EXP, 640 Primogems, 510,000 Mora, 39 Mystic Enhancement Ore, 39 Hero’s Wit, 2 Vasoma Fruit, Garland, Araesha’s Flower, The Siblings’ Flower, Arakanta’s Flower, and 2 Stories of You and the Aranara

Aranyaka is the most infamous world quest in Genshin Impact for its incredible length. Players will have to devote more than ten hours at a minimum if they wish not to skip through the dialogues. However, the length of this world quest also makes it one of the best as it features so much content to experience.

The Aranaras are one of the most adorable factions in the game. Helping each one of them while bringing balance to the Sumeru rainforest is a fun experience, as this world quest should help players explore almost every area. While players will get a bit disoriented by the amount of Aranaras and lore, it is a special experience that truly brings out the rich lore of Sumeru to the limelight.

3 Her Foes Rage Like Great Waters…

The Betrayal Of The Tanits

• Region: Sumeru
• Rewards: 950 Adventure EXP, 120 Primogems, 75,000 Mora, 9 Mystic Enhancement Ore, and 9 Hero’s Wit

Her Foes Rage Like Great Waters… is the finale of Jeht’s storyline. It is the shortest world quest on this list, but it carries a huge amount of emotional impact. After seemingly finding closure at the end of the Dirge of Bilqis world quest, Jeht is betrayed by Babel and the Tanits.

Jeht’s vengeance arc in the second half of this world quest is thrilling to follow, which reaches its crescendo at the Tanit Camps. Jeht manages to decimate the Tanit tribe with the help of the Traveller and murder Babel, becoming homeless in the process. However, the ending gives hope for Jeht’s future as she finally achieves freedom.

2 In The Wake Of Narcissus

The Finale Of The Narzissenkreuz Storyline

• Region: Fontaine
• Rewards: 1,800 Adventure EXP, 220 Primogems, 195,000 Mora, 13 Mystic Enhancement Ore, and 17 Hero’s Wit

In the Wake of Narcissus is the grand finale of the Narzissenkreuz saga, which started with the Ann of the Narzissenkreuz world quest. Almost every other world quest in Fontaine has some ties to this particular storyline. This world quest features excellent storytelling, extensive lore drops, and a unique showdown.

The conclusion of the Narzissenkreuz saga is quite satisfactory and ties many loose ends from the other smaller world quests. The Narzissenkreuz Ordo is one of the most peculiar factions in the game, and this world quest does justice to bringing closure to their story through emotional moments.

1 Canticles Of Harmony

Freeing Petrichor From An Eternal Nightmare

• Region: Fontaine
• Rewards: 1,350 Adventure EXP, 170 Primogems, 155,000 Mora, 7 Mystic Enhancement Ore, and 10 Hero’s Wit

Canticles of Harmony takes the spot as the best world quest in Genshin Impact. Introduced in Version 4.6, it helps the players explore Petrichor, the Faded Castle, and the Sea of Bygone Eras. There isn’t a second where the visuals of this world quest are any less than stunning.

The unique cast, notably Osse, Scylla, and Boethius, bring a certain charm to the world quest that really brings about the tragic history of Remuria. The bittersweet sacrifice of Cassiodor (Osse) to save the trapped souls, the beautiful ending cutscene, and the gorgeous aesthetics of the quest make it a one-of-a-kind experience.
