In this article, we will guide you on where to find books in Genshin Impact, helping you uncover the hidden treasures of knowledge scattered throughout the game.
Exploring Teyvat: Unveiling the Books
Books in Genshin Impact can be obtained through various means. Some are obtained by interacting with non-playable characters (NPCs) during dialogues or as rewards for completing quests. Others can be purchased from specific bookstores within the game world. Let’s dive into the different ways to acquire these books:
Dialogue and Quest Rewards
Throughout your journey in Teyvat, interacting with NPCs and engaging in conversations can lead to the discovery of books. NPCs might share their stories or offer valuable insights, granting you access to new books. Completing quests also often rewards players with intriguing books that unravel the mysteries of Teyvat.
