Genshin's Serenitea Pot Housing System Detailed


It has finally arrived! Genshin Impact 1.5 is out now and we've got everything you need to know about the new Housing System. Although, it's actually being called the Serenitea Pot. (You know, like "Serenity". Yeah, it took us a moment to figure it out too.)

LATEST - Serenitea Pot / Housing System Details

In Genshin Impact 1.5, players can use "Serenitea Pots as media through which they can channel their adeptal power and create realms and abodes".

Wait, what?

Essentially, you can create your own "space" inside one of these mystical teapots and then "decorate it however you wish and turn it into a home away from home".

There is a levelling system that you'll need to work on to expand and upgrade your "teapot house" and there are a few neat multiplayer features included.

In an effort to make things clearer, though, we've got everything you need to know from the Genshin Impact Patch Notes below:

Teapot Spirit

  • A spirit that lives inside the teapot. It is said that she was created by the adepti themselves. She looks after many matters within the realm, serving as a butler of sorts.

Trust Rank

  • As you create more furnishings for the first time, the teapot spirit's Trust in you will increase. Accumulate Trust to increase your Trust Rank.
  • Increasing Trust Rank will unlock features for the Serenitea Pot or allow you to obtain various rewards.

Adeptal Energy

  • The amount of Adeptal Energy within the realm will gradually increase along with the number of furnishings placed.
  • Once a new Adeptal Energy Rank is reached, the realm's output will also increase.

Creating

  • You can obtain the materials required to create furnishings in many different ways, all around Teyvat.
  • While visiting your friends' realms, you can also assist them in creating furnishings by reducing their creation time.
  • You can provide assistance to multiple friends each day, but the same person cannot be assisted twice.

Realm Depot

  • You can use Realm Currency in the Serenitea Pot to exchange for items of your choice.
  • During the Teapot Traveling Salesman's visits, you can also enter other realms to exchange with Salesmen within them for desired items.
