Every patch of Genshin Impact is full of in-game and web events that keep the players engaged. For patch 2.1, Moonlight Merriment is one of the most anticipated events. The event takes place in Liyue Harbor, where the traveler joins Keqing and Xiangling to prepare for the Moonchase festival. In this guide, we will explain the eligibility to take part in the Moonlight Merriment event in Genshin Impact and how to complete the various quests to get the rewards.
Moonlight Merriment: Event details
Eligibility
To take part in this event, travelers need to be Adventure Rank 28 or above and should have completed the Archon Quest Chapter I: Act III – A New Star Approaches and Trulla Chapter: Act I – Mondstadt Gastronomy Trip
Event Duration
The event will go on from September 27 10:00 to 11 October 2021 03:59 (Server Time)
Moonlight Merriment: Part II commences on 1st October 2021 04:00:00 Server Time
Moonlight Merriment is divided into three parts: Moonchase Tales, Moonlight Seeker, and Trail of Delicacies. To gain access to the subsequent parts, players need to finish the quests previous in line.
Moonlight Merriment event: Rewards
On completing the event, the players will get the following items, among other things-
- Primogems
- Mora
- Crown of Insight
- 4 Star Claymore Luxurious Sealord
- Emperor’s Balsam (refinement materials for Luxurious Sea Lord)
- Mystic Enhancement Ore
- Weapon Ascension materials, and more.
Luxurious Sea Lord acts as a great weapon for sub-DPS characters as it has a high atk% secondary stat and also its passive provides insane value at refinement level 5. The low-base attack makes it a mediocre option for main DPS. Sayu, Beidou and Chongyun playing the burst support/sub-DPS role can make good use of this weapon.
Apart from the aforementioned rewards, players can also get a total of 4500 Battle Pass EXP on completing specific missions in the event as indicated by the image below.
