Genshin Impact City Reputation rewards and details guide

Genshin Impact’s latest update introduces several new features, one of the most exciting of which is City Reputation. If you’re interested to know what City Reputation is, how to increase it, and the City Reputation rewards in Genshin Impact for doing so, you’ve come to the right place. We’ll break down everything there is to know about City Reputation below.

What is City Reputation?

City Reputation is a new Genshin Impact feature which allows you to level up your association with the two major cities of the map. By completing certain quests and challenges within each city, you’ll raise your City Reputation, unlocking new rewards. Currently, each City has eight levels of reputation to work through, with awards available at each.

How to unlock Liyue and Mondstadt City Reputations

To unlock City Reputation in both Liyue and Mondstadt, you’ll first need to have reached Adventure Rank 25. Once there, you need to complete a specific quest for each city and speak to a few different NPCs. Here’s what you need to know to unlock Liyue and Mondstadt City Reputations:

Mondstadt

Complete the Archon quest The Outlander Who Caught the Wind (Prologue: Act 1). Once unlocked, speak with Hertha, the Knights of Favonious Coordinator, to learn more about the requests and rewards available.

Liyue

Complete the Archon quest Farewell, Archaic Lord (Chapter 1: Act 2). Once unlocked, speak with Ms. Yu, Ministry of Civil Affairs Secretary, in Liyue Harbor to learn more about the requests and rewards available.

How to increase City Reputation

City Reputation can be increased in a number of different ways in Genshin Impact. Here’s everything that’ll help you level up your cred with the closest city:

• Region Quests: Complete missions in the Mondstadt and Liyue regions to increase your Reputation in each city. They don’t necessarily have to be within the cities themselves.
• World Exploration: Increase your Exploration Progress in the Mondstadt and Liyue areas. Hitting certain milestones will boost your City Reputation.
• Bounties: Locate and defeat bounty targets in each city to increase your reputation. You can complete a maximum of three bounties per week to boost City Reputation. Further details on Bounties can be found here.
• Requests: Complete requests from residents in each city to increase your City Reputation. Requests are refreshed every Monday, with a maximum of three available each week to increase City Reputation.
