The brand-new “City Reputation” system coming in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact will offer certain Reputation Rewards if players interact with the non-playable characters in the game. They can accept requests from the city residents and enhance their reputation.

Players with Adventure Rank 25 or above can access the City Reputation rewards. Certainly, this is a great incentive for new players to level up and unlock new content in the game. However, this new system isn’t as simple as it sounds. The city’s reputation comprises Mondstadt and Liyue reputation.
