Exploration
Mondstadt 100% Route for New Accounts
Mondstadt is the fastest region to clear for exploration rewards. A tight Windrise loop teaches you how ESP categories work before you move to bigger regions.
Windrise first, then Statues
Circle Windrise lake for low-hanging Anemoculi and common chests. Upgrade the Statue of The Seven early for stamina — it makes every later region easier. Then push Dadaupa Gorge for puzzle chests and seelies.
