Starting fromVersion 5.0,Genshin Impacthas a new way to create artifacts with custom stat loadouts. Of course, there are limitations. Here’s everything you need to know about the Artifact Transmuter inGenshin Impact, including how to obtain and use it.

How to get the Artifact Transmuter in Genshin Impact

Before we get started, you need to own the Artifact Transmuter. This gadget can be obtained from the Adventurer’s Handbook.

You need to have obtained at least 25 5-star artifactsbefore you’re able to claim the Artifact Transmuter. This shouldn’t be an issue if you’ve been playingGenshin Impactfor any length of time. If you don’t meet this requirement, don’t worry. You can farm 5-star artifacts fairly easily once you reach Adventure Rank 45, but you’ll start earning them naturally before that.

The process of creating an artifact is called Defining. you may Define one artifact of each artifact set per Version. For example, if you Define a Viridescent Venerer piece, you must wait for the next Version update to Define another Viridescent Venerer piece. But you can Define a Marechausee Hunter piece right away.

To use the Artifact Transmuter to Define a custom artifact, follow the steps below.

As long as you pick different artifact sets, you’re able to Define as many artifacts as you like, provided you have enough Sanctifying Elixirs. These are a limited resource, though, with precious few available through repeatable means.

Now that you know how to use the Transmuter, you need Sanctifying Elixirs to start crafting custom artifacts. The most reliable way to obtain those is to extract them from your existing leveled artifacts. Take these steps to convert your artifacts into a Sanctifying Elixir.

you’re able to only convert artifacts into a Sanctifying Elixir once per Version.More Sanctifying Elixirs can be earned by exploring Natlan’s open world or reaching level 26 on the premium Battle Pass (Gnostic Hymn). There may also be Sanctifying Elixirs included in event rewards, like the anniversary rewards that will be mailed to all players during Version 5.0.
