This new chapter invites players to dive into Mondstadt's post-New Year hustle and assist key characters like Jean and Lisa in expanding the local alchemical potion venture. The update is not just about potion-making; it also introduces Chiori, a highly anticipated five-star Geo sword character known for her fashion prowess in Inazuma.

The highlight of the update is the "Alchemical Ascension" event, where players will take on the role of potion shop managers under the guidance of the Knights of Favonius. This immersive experience requires players to oversee the entire potion production process, from ingredient cultivation to sales. Success in this venture allows for expansion opportunities, including the acquisition of new facilities and potion bottles to boost the business. Unique rewards await diligent players, such as the exclusive four-star polearm "Dialogues of the Desert Sages."

For those looking for a lighter side of adventure, the update offers playful diversions like the "Feline Fortress Furrdyssey" and "Rolling Crossfire" events, perfect for taking a break from the usual monster-slaying.

Chiori's addition to the roster brings a fresh dynamic to combat and exploration. With her ability to summon the automaton doll "Tamoto" and execute powerful Geo DMG attacks, she adds both flair and strategy to battles. Her unique skills also offer practical benefits, such as a movement speed boost for the party, making her a versatile addition to any team.

The update introduces the "Chronicled Wish" feature, providing players a more targeted approach to acquiring their desired five-star characters and weapons. This system guarantees that the second five-star item players obtain will be the one they're aiming for, should they miss it on their first try.

To aid players, especially those in the early stages, Version 4.5 brings essential system optimizations like the "Training Guide" in the Paimon Menu. This feature offers personalized recommendations for character development, weapon ascension, and talent upgrades, making character progression more intuitive and tailored to individual play styles.
