Bounties are an excellent way to increase reputation levels and farm mora in Genshin Impact. The game offers numerous ways to farm materials and level up characters.

Bounty is one such system where players need to defeat a particular enemy to get in-game rewards. They are routinely available and can be accessed from the Reputation menu.

Gamers need to find an enemy using clues spread across a given area and defeat it. Beating the enemy will reward them with Reputation EXP, usable to obtain essential in-game rewards.

To access the Reputation system, players need to converse with the respective representatives in each nation. Hertha from Knights of Favonious handles the Reputation system in Mondstadt.

Liyue's Reputation system is handled by Ms Yu, the secretary in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Both can be found in the main city.

On entering the marked area, a 10-minute timer will start within which players need to find and defeat that enemy. Failing to do so within this period will stop the players from completing the bounty.

Players can find clues to the enemy's location using Elemental Sight, which shows a blue-colored wind current directing towards the clues.

The hints may need players to obtain a flower or defeat some enemy like a Slime or a Hilichurl. Getting three such clues will finally lead the players to the primary enemy.

After defeating the enemy, gamers will be eligible to get the rewards they can collect from the Reputation menu. A high reputation level can earn them essential in-game items such as recipes of Resonance stones, Gadgets, Treasure Compass, and more.

On reaching the maximum Reputation level, players will get nation-exclusive Wind Gliders. Apart from these, bounties are a great way to farm a significant amount of Mora that players should not miss by any chance.
