Festive Fever in Genshin Impact

Festive Fever has three different stages.

To obtain Festive Fever quickly and efficiently, players must complete the assigned quests and Lantern Rite tales. The Lantern Rite tales have several mini-quests and tasks assigned by NPCs.

Each tale will reward players with 100 to 200 Festive Fever points. Once further stages of Lantern Rite Tales are unlocked, the Festive Fever points can be obtained faster by accomplishing the requests of the NPCs.

Upon reaching the "Glow of a Thousand Lanterns" stage in Festive Fever, players will be eligible to claim a 4-star character hailing from Liyue for free.

Players can claim it from the "Stand By Me" event by exchanging 1000 Peace Talismans from the Theater Mechanicus challenge.

The six featured characters in the "Stand By Me" event are Xiangling (Pyro), Xinyan (Pyro), Beidou (Electro), Ningguang (Geo), Xingqiu (Hydro), and Chongyun (Cryo). The claimed characters can be owned permanently by players.
