Game developer miHoYo stays true to its promise of regularly releasing content to keep "Genshin Impact" fresh and interesting. With the Chalk Prince and the Dragon event ending a few days ago, fans are now excited for another adventure. Good thing, The Lost Riches event is now live in the game. Now players could use these important details before they start the new set of challenges.

What The Lost Riches Event Is

The Lost riches event starts at 10 a.m. ET on Jan. 8. It is a new event that enables players to find special treasure items and exchange them for cosmetic rewards. Players can get their hands on a treasure-seeking Seelie and a Treasure Book that they could use in their treasure hunting journey. Locating these treasures rewards players with a collection of Iron Coins. They could trade them for one of the Mini Seelie items that serve as cosmetic companions.

How To Find Treasures In Lost Riches Event

The location that might hold the treasure would be provided for the duration of the event. Players can grub around the location for loots. Players can move on to a new and more bountiful location as soon as players have claimed all the loots in a given area.

As mentioned earlier, a treasure-seeking Seelie pet will accompany players in their search. This Seelie acts like the hunter's gold detector that glows brighter as players inch closer to the treasure. When players arrive at the location of the treasure, they would find a bright yellow aura on the ground.

How To Earn A Pet Seelie in The Event

The crown prize of the Lost Riches event is the pet Seelie. If players complete enough treasure hunts, they can permanently keep the Seelie. It is worth noting that the Seelie is the first-ever pet introduced in the game. Players can also purchase the Seelie at the Lost Riches Shop for 280 Iron Coins. They come in various colors including Curcuma, Rose and Dayflower or yellow, neon red and light blue. Unfortunately, players are only allowed to pet three Seelies in the game.

"Genshin Impact" is now available on PC, iOs and Android devices and PS
