OMG guys, the Alchemical Ascension event is literally the most lit update since Sumeru dropped! 🧪💡 When Paimon dragged me into this potion-brewing madness, I thought, "Eh, another mini-game?" But holy Archons – it's like becoming Walter White meets Mondstadt's Martha Stewart! This guide's gonna spill the tea ☕ on crushing those alchemy exams AND making mad Mora.
1. Beginner Exam: When Life Gives You Sweet Flowers...
My first attempt was a hot mess – I dumped 4 Special Sweet Flowers like a noob, only to get a lv.+3 Constitution Potion that Paimon called "barely drinkable." 😭 Here's the 411:
-
Goal: Intermediate Constitution Potion (+5lv)
-
Pro Tip:
-
3x Special Calla Lily (gives that THICC +Constitution boost)
-
1x Special Mushroom (secret sauce for stability)
-
"But wait," you say, "why not max ingredients?" Bro, the 3-type limit will screw you over if you go overboard!
2. Intermediate Exam: STR/DEX Balance Act
This is where things get spicy 🌶️. I failed THREE TIMES trying to balance Strength/Dexterity ratios until I realized:
```
6 Special Horsetail = STR backbone
2 Special Mist Flower = DEX stabilizer
2 Mushroom = Glue holding this chaos together
```
My Eureka moment? Adding ingredients SLOWLY while watching the alchemy meter. When the tuning hit 180%, Paimon did her signature "Eh-he!" and I knew we'd nailed it!
3. Advanced Exam: Big Brain Time 🧠
Advanced Wisdom Potion required 5 ingredient types – talk about analysis paralysis! My recipe looked like a grocery list:
| Ingredient | Quantity | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Special Marcotte | 2 | Wisdom base |
| Lumidouce Bell | 2 | Fragrant trait |
| Sumeru Rose | 2 | Flavor boost |
| Qingxin | 2 | Purity |
| Windwheel Aster | 1 | Secret catalyst |
Pro tip: Add Windwheel Aster LAST to activate "Fragrant" characteristic without overpowering the mix!
4. Expert Exam: Charisma Overload 💫
This final stage had me sweating like Diluc in Dragonspine! To hit 280% Tuning Rate for Charisma potion:
-
6x Special Mint (carries Perception trait)
-
3x Marcotte (Steadying effect)
-
2x Mist Flower (neutralizer)
-
1x Mushroom (emergency stabilizer)
I may or may have not screamed "SHOW ME THE MORA!" when the Expert-grade potion sparkled gold ✨. The Polearm reward? Chef's kiss!
Rewards That'll Make You Rich AF
-
50k Revenue: Free 4★ Polearm (perfect for Xiangling mains!)
-
1M Revenue: Max refinement for Dialogues of the Desert Sages (that passive slaps!)
-
Pro Strategy: Keep 3 cauldrons brewing 24/7. I set timers like it's artifact farming season! ⏳
Final Thoughts: From Lab Rat to Alchemy Chad
This event made me appreciate Genshin's creativity – who knew mixing digital plants could be so addictive? Whether you're here for the Primogems 💎 or bragging rights, remember: every failed potion is just a step towards becoming the next Rhinedottir!
So grab your mortar and pestle, gamers! This event's the real "Philosopher's Stone" of patch 4.5. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got 12 Special Mints to grind before reset... paimonHungryEmoji
