Leveling and building up a new Genshin Impact character can take up multiple weeks of constant grinding, especially with the game’s Resin system which limits players from entering certain activities on a daily basis. Fans have repeatedly expressed their frustration about this system which includes multiple RNG layers.

An interesting post on the official Genshin Impact subreddit has gathered much attention as Reddit user Amir-NZ shared his frustration about these extreme drop rates. One of the biggest problems this thread points out is that with a new limited banner coming every three weeks, it’s almost impossible to catch up with grind for a certain character.
These drop rates are especially bad when grinding weekly boss materials which are required for leveling up talents. There are many complaints in the comment section, but most of them agree on the fact that artifacts are probably the worst part of the grind. Artifacts can be obtained in many different ways such as finding different types of chests, defeating elite enemies or completing ceratin Domains which is usually the way most end-game pieces are farmed.
Every Genshin Impact character has the option to carry up to five different types of artifacts, each of which carries the chance to drop a specific type of main stats and up to four sub-stats. When it comes to deciding which Genhsin Impact artifact pieces are acceptable, players usually go by the 3/4 rule which means that an artifact is considered fairly decent if it contains three out of four desired sub-stats, provided that the main stat has to be the correct one. This way players can keep enhancing their pieces hoping that the wrong sub-stat won’t get increased.
With that being said, it should be noted that Genshin Impact is not a very complex game and while this RNG system can seem frustrating for the hard-core grinders, casual players usually don’t mind if their main DPS character has an artifact piece with strong defensive sub-stats. Excluding the Spiral Abyss, most of the game’s content is fairly easy to go through, especially with a flexible party of Genshin Impact characters.
Genshin Impact is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, and a Nintendo Switch version in development.
