Genshin Impactis known for its variety of colorful characters and unique ways to build them. Artifacts are one of the main features of a character’s build, but the energy-locked, RNG facet of acquiring that perfect piece can be both daunting and draining forGenshin Impactplayers.
Artifacts have always been one of the core features of a goodGenshin Impactbuild which can make all the difference, especially in the latter stages of the game considering that theSpiral Abyss has become harderwith each update. Farming for a perfect artifact set has always been a grind and it seems like players have seemingly had enough.

Artifact sets can be obtained in many different ways through exploring the vast world of Teyvat,finding different types of Chests, or defeating elite enemies and bosses. However, the main way most players acquire their desired artifact pieces is through different Domains since they can to a certain extend choose which exact artifact they want. EveryGenshin Impactcharacter has the option to carry up to five different types of artifacts, each of which carries the chance to drop a specific type of main stats and up to four sub-stats.
Reddit user funglasquent has made a thread on the officialGenshin Impactsubreddit claiming that miHoYo needs to remove at least one layer of RNG in artifact farming as it’s nearly impossible to roll for a perfect set. The post then lists the six layers of RNG which all need to line up in order for players to acquire the perfect stats for their characters:
When it comes to decidingwhichGenhsin Impactartifact pieces are acceptable, players usually go by the 3/4 rule which means that an artifact is considered fairly decent if it contains three out of four desired sub-stats, provided that the main stat has to be the correct one. This way players can keep enhancing their pieces hoping that the wrong sub-stat won’t get increased.
With that being said, it should be noted thatGenshin Impactis not a very complex game and while this RNG system can seem frustrating for the hard-core grinders, casual players usually don’t mind if their main DPS character has an artifact piece with strong defensive sub-stats. Excluding the Spiral Abyss, most of the game’s content is fairly easy to go through, especially with aflexible party ofGenshin Impactcharacters.
Genshin Impactis available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, and a Nintendo Switch version in development.
