Artifact sets have always been one of the core features of a good Genshin Impact build which can make all the difference, especially in the latter stages of the game considering that the Spiral Abyss has become harder with each update. Farming for a perfect artifact set has always been a grind and players end up with loads of sets with useless stats that.

Artifacts can be leveled which greatly increase their stats and the maximum level for a five-star artifact is 20. The only way to level a certain piece is to use another artifacts as level up material. This can take a significant amount of time, especially if low rarity artifacts are used as materials. Luckily an interesting trick posted by Reddit user MizoreRainy reveals a way of shortening the leveling animations simply by clicking on “Details” after starting the enhancement. This trick can save a lot of time especially for players who stack their inventory with artifacts before leveling them.
Artifact sets are obtained in many ways through exploring, 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 extent choose which exact artifact they want. Every Genshin Impact character 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.
When it comes to deciding which Genhsin Impact artifact 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 that Genshin Impact is not as complex as other similar style games, the RNG system can still seem frustrating for the hardcore grinders. It’s likely that more casual players 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 a flexible party of Genshin Impact characters.
Genshin Impact is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, and a Nintendo Switch version in development.
