Why Keep Track of Server Reset Time

List of Things To Track at Server Reset Time

  1. Daily Login Bonuses

Daily Login Bonuses

Seize the Day

It's important to claim login bonuses to get useful items. These can be Mora, Primogems, and more. Be sure to log in daily to keep getting rewards.

Shop Items

Genshin - Item Shop

Shop items can only be purchased in limited amounts per day. These have specific refresh times once you've bought a set amount. Be sure to check the refresh times in the lower left corner of each shop.

Daily Commissions

Daily Commissions

Once you reach Adventure Rank 12, you will be able to do Daily Commissions to gain more Adventure EXP. You can only do a set amount of these quests per day, so it's a good idea to keep track of the time to maximize your EXP gain.

Events

In-Game Time is Not the Server Time

Genshin Impact - Change In-Game Time

It is not possible to alter the server time by adjusting the in-game time.

Adjusting the in-game time only changes the time of the day to morning, afternoon, or night.

I'm in the midwest (USA), so I'm in the central timezone. I use the European server cause that's where my best friend plays and I have more progress there. My commissions tend to reset at roughly 10 pm, but the event times for web events seem to be off. The answer is probably obvious but I often have trouble understanding certain things if the answer isn't laid out right in front of me so-- why is it that my commissions and everything else like that reset, but web events don't? /gq
