Genshin Impact Lost Riches event explained
To gain access to the Lost Riches event, you’ll have to be at least Adventure Rank 20. Apart from this, you’re free to start the event anytime after Friday, 2nd September. Lost Riches ends on Monday, 19th September, so make sure you’ve completed all the treasure hunts and collected your rewards before then. To start Lost Riches, go to Ulman, who is located just east of Sumeru City, in the hills to the west of the main dirt road on your map. He’ll ask for your assistance in finding Ancient Iron Coins, and then give you his Treasure-Seeking Seelie to help you do so during the event. Go into your ‘Gadgets’ tab of the backpack menu and equip the Treasure-Seeking Seelie as your gadget, then navigate to the ‘Events’ menu and select Lost Riches. From here, you’ll see the location of each treasure hunt location as they get added, but the next one will only appear when you find all the treasure chests in the previous area. When you get to the correct area, a yellow circle will appear on your map. Within this circle lies three treasure chests, but to get their rewards, you’ll first have to activate your Treasure-Seeking Seelie and then collect energy emissions. You have to collect three energy emissions to find one chest, so there are nine energy emissions in total. Once you find three of the energy emission orbs, the location of a treasure chest will be marked on your map. Before you can open the chest, however, you’ll have to complete a challenge. This will either be a combat challenge, or a particle collecting challenge. Once you clear it within the time limit, go back to the treasure chest location to open it and claim your rewards. You’ll get instant rewards, like Primogems, but you’ll also find Ancient Iron Coins. Go to the event shop from the Lost Riches section in the ‘Events’ menu to exchange these coins for more Primogems and other rewards like Hero’s Wit, Mora, and Mini Seelie companions of different colour varieties. Remember, you only have until Monday, 19th September to claim these rewards - so make sure you spend every Ancient Iron Coin that you can before then!
