Genshin Impact 7.1 QoL Guide: Daily Commissions and Artifact Auto-Lock

To optimize your daily routines in Genshin Impact Version 7.1, configure your artifact auto-lock rules before running domains and use Encounter Points from events or exploration to complete your daily commission requirements without doing standard quest missions.

Earning Daily Commission Rewards via Encounter Points

Version 7.1 updates the Encounter Point system so you can bypass traditional four-part daily commission quests entirely. Instead of traveling to dedicated daily markers, you fill your progress bar by completing standard gameplay activities.

You can claim daily commission rewards by focusing on the following sources:

• Event Objectives: Completing limited-time event tasks contributes directly toward your daily commission bar.
• World Quests: Progressing active limited-time or regional quests fills your daily points.
• Open-World Exploration: Opening chests and collecting oculi generates Encounter Points while adventuring.

Note on play schedules: If you go several days without participating in events or exploration, earning points through this system requires active play to catch up. Ensure you log in to perform quick tasks if you cannot engage in longer exploration sessions.

Setting Up Artifact Management and Auto-Lock

The Version 7.1 inventory tools automatically mark gear based on sub-stats and set preferences, reducing manual sorting after clearing domains.

1. Configure Stat Priorities: Open the artifact management menu and set target primary stats and sub-stat criteria for your damage dealers and support units.
2. Enable Auto-Lock: Turn on the auto-lock feature so any dropped or crafted artifact matching your chosen stats is secured automatically upon acquisition.
3. Filter Fodder Items: Use the updated sorting options to group non-matching, low-value pieces for mass deletion or crafting bench conversion.

Setup Precaution: Set up your filters carefully during your initial session. A misconfigured filter can prevent strong artifacts from being locked. Always inspect your locked items list before performing mass destruction or leveling actions to avoid losing valuable gear.

Map and Navigation Updates

The updated map interface improves objective tracking across complex areas:

• Multi-Level Terrain Indicators: The map displays clearer markers for underground networks and multi-tiered landmasses.
• Pathing Guidance: Tracking an active quest highlights direct paths to lower the need for backtracking in complex regions.

Resource Allocation Strategy

Because Encounter Points reduce the time spent on daily tasks, you can spend more of your active session and Original Resin on character progression:

• Reallocate saved session time toward Talent domains and Boss material fights.
• Preview potential build stat changes in the inventory menu before dedicating materials to upgrades.
