Travelers' Tales: Anthology Chapter- Genshin Impact - Version 5.4

The Travelers' Tales: Anthology Chapter is a limited-time event in Genshin Impact introduced in Version 5.4. It’s a character interaction and exploration event that allows players to revisit old companions across Teyvat, listen to their anecdotes about daily life, and earn rewards. Here’s a breakdown based on the latest information available as of March 06, 2025:
Event Overview
Duration: The event began after the Version 5.4 update on February 12, 2025 (11:00 UTC+8) and runs until March 25, 2025 (14:59 UTC+8).
Purpose: With over 90 playable characters in Genshin Impact by Version 5.4, this event gives players a chance to reconnect with characters who may not appear frequently in the main storyline anymore. It focuses on casual, slice-of-life interactions rather than combat or major plot developments.
How to Unlock
To participate, you need to meet the following requirements:
Reach Adventure Rank 28 or higher.
Complete the Archon Quest Chapter I: Act III - "A New Star Approaches" (part of the Liyue storyline).
For the best experience, it’s recommended (but not required) to complete:
Archon Quest Interlude Chapter: Act I - "The Crane Returns on the Wind".
Archon Quest Chapter II: Act III - "Omnipresence Over Mortals" (Inazuma).
Story Quest Grus Serena Chapter: Act I (Xianyun).
Story Quest Dracaena Somnolenta Chapter: Act I (Sangonomiya Kokomi).
Gameplay
Objective: Visit characters marked on your in-game map in regions like Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma to hear their anecdotes—short stories about their everyday lives.
Daily Limit: You can interact with up to five characters per day. The characters available each day are random, and their locations vary.
Anecdote Chronicles: After each interaction, the conversation is logged in the Anecdote Chronicles, a journal-like feature where you can review past dialogues and track which characters you’ve visited.
Mechanics:
Characters spawn randomly, and their icons appear on the world map and mini-map when you’re nearby.
Completing an anecdote may trigger another character to appear, but only up to a daily cap.
Some characters can be visited multiple times at different locations for additional anecdotes, while others disappear after one interaction.
Total Anecdotes: There are 19 characters featured, with a total of up to 45 anecdotes collectible throughout the event, depending on how often you encounter repeats.
Featured Characters and Locations
The event includes a mix of characters from Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma. Here are some confirmed examples and their locations (note that exact spawns are randomized daily):
Mondstadt:
Diona: Found in Wolvendom, often hunting or holding a bow.
Sucrose: At Thousand Winds Temple, possibly on a pillar taking a break from experiments.
Amber: Various spots, sharing tales like "Greetings, Traveler" or "Simply a Slime."
Liyue:
Keqing: Near Bubu Pharmacy, recovering from a twisted ankle.
Shenhe: At Wanmin Restaurant, working as a server (requires Ganyu’s referral from Xianyun’s Story Quest).
Kaedehara Kazuha: On a mountain north or northeast of Liyue Harbor, enjoying high, windy spots.
Zhongli: At Heyu Tea House or Qiaoying Village, sipping tea and storytelling.
Inazuma:
Sangonomiya Kokomi: In a secret cave near Bourou Village on Watatsumi Island, resting in her hideout.
Other characters like Diluc, Fischl, Xingqiu, and Xiangling also appear, with locations tied to their personalities or lore (e.g., Xingqiu near Qingce Village practicing swordsmanship).
Rewards
By collecting anecdotes, you can claim rewards through the event interface. While exact rewards vary, typical Genshin Impact event rewards include:
Primogems: Likely around 120 or more for full completion (based on player sentiment from X posts).
Mora, Character EXP Materials, and Weapon Enhancement Materials.
Rewards scale with the number of anecdotes collected, so visiting all 19 characters across multiple days maximizes your haul.
Tips
Check your map daily for character icons and prioritize visiting them early, as the limit resets with the daily server reset.
If no characters appear, complete one or two anecdotes to potentially spawn others (up to the daily cap).
Use the Anecdote Chronicles to track progress and avoid missing any characters.
Some interactions are unvoiced (possibly due to voice actor strikes noted in X discussions), but the text still provides charming insights into character lives.

Others feel the rewards (e.g., 120 Primogems) are underwhelming for a time-gated event spanning over a month, especially since it’s unvoiced in some languages.
This event is a laid-back way to immerse yourself in Teyvat’s world, perfect for lore enthusiasts or those who enjoy character-driven content. Log in daily to make the most of it before it ends on March 25, 2025!
