Genshin Impact, offline server tonight for Update 2.3 with Primogem free for all

Genshin Impact

Ahead of the arrival of Genshin Impact Update 2.3, miHoYo has announced a scheduled maintenance of the game servers that will begin tonight, Tuesday 23 November. This means that you will not be able to log into the game for a few hours, but on the other hand, at the end of the maintenance, two free Primogem bonuses will be available for all players.

According to the details reported by miHoYo, server maintenance of Genshin Impact will begin at 11pm today, Tuesday November 23, for all platforms. The works will go on for 5 hours, so it will be possible to log in again starting at 04:00 on Wednesday 24 November, once you have downloaded and installed the new update 2.3. All in all it is a fairly favorable time for Italian players, with the exception of those who like to stay late.

Genshin Impact, the artwork of Update 2.3 As per tradition, to reward yours patience, miHoYo has confirmed that all players who have reached at least Adventure Rank 5 will receive 300 Primogem for free (60 for each hour of scheduled maintenance, if the jobs were to finish earlier the reward will not change). To these will eventually be added another 300 Primogems for solving problems within the game, for a total of 600 Primogems.

A loot that will surely be useful for Genshin Impact Update 2.3, Shadows Amidst Snowstorms, since in the first phase two banner reruns will be available, namely those of Eula and Albedo. While in the second part two new characters will debut, namely Arataki Itto and Gorou.

Also yesterday, miHoYo announced and unveiled the first details of Yun Jin and Shenhe, two new Liyue characters who are expected to arrive with Genshin Impact Update 2.4.

'Genshin Impact': New Artifact Sets Are Coming In Mid-Patch Update

KEY POINTS
  • The Husk Of Opulent Dreams is best used with aggressive on-field Geo characters like Itto and Noelle
  • Ocean-Hued Clam works best with consistent healers like Qiqi and Kokomi
  • Both artifact sets can be farmed simultaneously in a new domain in Inazuma
  • With the arrival of the mid-patch update for “Genshin Impact” comes two new artifact sets: the Husk of Opulent Dreams and the Ocean-Hued Clam, as well as a new domain to hide them in. There are already plenty of decent sets in the game, which begs the question of whether or not these new artifacts are worth farming in the first place.


    New artifact sets are always good to have in a game that’s all about build crafting, but adding two new sets in occupied niches may be a bit redundant. For those who weren’t aware, here’s an overview of the two new sets that are coming very soon to “Genshin Impact.”


    The Husk Of Opulent Dreams


    This set provides a decent chunk of bonus DEF and a Geo DMG bonus that gets stronger the longer a character remains in combat with an enemy. The two-piece bonus grants a flat 30% DEF bonus to the wearer. On the other hand, the four-piece bonus gets a little complicated.


    Opulent Dreams will grant its wearer stacks of Curiosity every time they damage an enemy with a Geo attack. One stack is gained every 0.3 seconds while the character is on the field, but only one stack every 3 seconds can be earned when the character is off-field.


    This set seems like a good choice for offensive Geo characters like Noelle and Itto. It could also see some use with Albedo, but reaching max stacks with him will take too much time and cost too much DPS when compared to other artifact sets.

    The Ocean-Hued Clam


    Unlike Opulent Dreams, Ocean-Hued Clam is all about healing. Apart from the passive healing effectiveness boost from the two-piece bonus, the set will spawn a Sea-Dyed Foam every time a character heals someone.


    This Sea-Dyed Foam will accumulate all HP from healing effects (including overflow heals) on the field for three seconds before bursting, showering all friendly characters with 90% of the stored healing amount.


    Characters with constant or persistent healing effects like Kokomi, Qiqi and Jean can make great use of this unique artifact effect, but burst healers like Bennett are better off using other sets so as not to waste the Sea-Dyed Foam’s duration.
