Original Resin is one of the most important resources in Genshin Impact, as it allows players to claim rewards from many of the game’s most valuable activities. Resin is used for things like farming character materials, weapon upgrades, artifacts, Mora, and EXP Books, making it an important part of your daily progression.
Resin regenerates automatically over time, with players receiving one Resin every eight minutes until reaching the maximum storage limit. Because Resin stops regenerating when it is full, it’s a good idea to spend it regularly so you don’t miss out on free resources. You can also restore Resin using Fragile Resin or Primogems, though most players should save Fragile Resin for later in the game.
There are several activities that require Resin, including Ley Line Outcrops, Domains, World Bosses, and Weekly Bosses. Each activity provides different rewards, so deciding where to spend your Resin depends on what your account currently needs. Early-game players may want Mora and EXP Books, while experienced players often focus on artifacts and character materials.
Condensed Resin can help save time by combining rewards into fewer runs. It can be created using Original Resin and Crystal Cores, allowing players to collect double rewards from certain activities. However, it does not increase the total amount of rewards you receive, only making farming more convenient.
To get the most value from Resin, you should prioritize materials for the characters you actually use and avoid spending it randomly. Building a strong main team first will make future farming easier and help you progress through more difficult content like the Spiral Abyss and other challenges.
