Update 1.3 for Genshin Impact arrives in February and appears to be fixing some of the resin issues that have been hindering the game since launch.
Resin is one of the biggest currencies to progress in the game. It is used to claim rewards for Ley Line Blossoms, Domains and some bosses. The resin has been a point of contention in the community since the launch, with players accusing the gatekeeping aggressive progression system.
In the developer’s last discussion, miHoYo revealed that they are changing how the resin is worn and won. The ‘vast majority of large-scale events’ will no longer require Resin, as will any 1.3 events that do not make use of Ley Lines or Domains.
Battle Pass is getting some additional resin as well. The Sojourner Battle Pass and the Gnostic Anthem will now receive 1 Fragile Resin every 10 levels. They are replacing Mystic Enchantment Ore, which is now being distributed elsewhere in the passage. Of course, the main caveat here is that the biggest resin change requires the purchase of the Battle Pass, but that is expected from a free gacha game.
1.3 brings some other big changes, like the ability to convert materials. There are also some general changes in quality of life. You can check out the full developer discussion here.
