The souvenir shop in Genshin Impact is an essential stop for travelers looking to collect region-specific treasures and materials. Let me walk you through everything you need to know about these unique vendors across Teyvat.
Locations of Souvenir Shops
The main souvenir shops can be found in each major region’s capital city:
• Mondstadt: Located near the central plaza, run by Marjorie
• Liyue Harbor: In the north district, managed by Xingxi
• Inazuma City: Found in Inazuma City’s business district, operated by Tomoki
• Sumeru City: Near the Akademiya area, run by Khalid
• Fontaine Court of Fontaine: In the central commercial district, managed by Cécile
What You Can Purchase
Each shop offers region-specific items that you won’t find anywhere else in Teyvat. The most valuable items you can buy include:
• Sigils can be exchanged for precious materials
• Regional treasure compasses
• Exclusive recipes
• Unique furnishing blueprints
• Character ascension materials
Currency and Trading System
Here’s something interesting many players don’t realize – you can’t use regular Mora at these shops. Instead, you’ll need to collect special sigils specific to each region:
• Anemo Sigils (Mondstadt)
• Geo Sigils (Liyue)
• Electro Sigils (Inazuma)
• Dendro Sigils (Sumeru)
• Hydro Sigils (Fontaine)
You’ll gather these sigils naturally as you explore each region by opening chests and upgrading the Statues of The Seven. Think of it as a reward system for thoroughly exploring each area.
Tips for Maximum Value
Let me share a pro tip I’ve learned from countless hours of gameplay: Always prioritize purchasing the region’s treasure compass first. This invaluable tool will help you find even more chests, which in turn gives you more sigils to spend at the shop.
Also, don’t forget to check back regularly – some shops refresh their inventory as you progress through the Archon quests and increase your Adventure Rank. I’ve seen many players miss out on valuable items simply because they forgot to revisit these shops.
Before you head out to visit these shops, make sure you’ve unlocked the respective regions through story progression. There’s nothing more frustrating than making the journey only to find you can’t access the shop yet!
Remember, these shops are more than just vendors – they’re a testament to each region’s unique culture and history in Teyvat. Take your time to chat with the shopkeepers; they often have interesting stories to share about their respective regions.
