Appearance
Each weapon has two forms, one when it is initially summoned and another once it has reached a certain level of ascension. Once this occurs, the weapon will undergo a change in its design. Mappa Mare is a light blue book with a compass placed on the center of its front cover.
Non-Ascended
The compass on Mappa Mare’s front cover is a mixture of black and blue and a nautical map can bee seen surrounding it.
Ascended
The design of the compass changes dramatically, now light blue with a large glowing symbol in its center. The design of the nautical map also changes, with now a clear glowing point found in the top right corner.
Story
The whole world flocks to the commercial port of Liyue, much to the city's pride.
With the tides of people also come exotic treasures.
This map, detailing the various seas surrounding the continent, is complete with undercurrents, hidden reefs, and wind directions.
It is said to be an exotic tome containing the knowledge, courage, and faith of pioneering explorers.
The title page of this book reads as follows:
"Love ye the sea breeze and the ocean currents, for it is the wind and water that carry the seafaring ones to their destination."
"Fear ye all the more that same sea breeze and those same ocean currents, for unbridled wind and water can tear apart even an iron vessel."
To woo the ocean and calm her temper, one must explore her every hidden reef, every prevailing wind, and every place which whales make their home.
These words appear in the yellowing pages of countless seafarers' notebooks, like an ode of infatuation with their lover's body.
In foreign lands, seasoned sailors refer to the ocean as their lover, and use female pronouns to address the cold, saline waters.
Perhaps they do so because of the ocean's temperamentality, or its vast bosom. Or perhaps it is because they are drawn to the romance of sailing away on an adventure.
Like the ocean, this chart answers to no master. Like the seafarers, it harbors the romantic dream of exploring every corner of the world.

FAQs
Is Mappa Mare good?
Mappa Mare is one of the better choices for crafted weapons. Even with an Elemental Mastery substat that makes it a little more situational in practice compared to some other options, its passive is extremely good, as the majority of high functioning teams in Genshin Impact demand constant elemental reactions to maximize damage output. Its even more attractive if characters have innate scaling based on Elemental Mastery.
Who are the best users of Mappa Mare?
Sucrose and Lisa are exceptional choices for it. Sucrose has an ability that grants her entire party EM based on a percentage of her own, making her want to stack as much of it as possible. Lisa’s Elemental Burst has a very high tick rate and applies Electro, meaning that it will constantly be causing reactions when paired with other elements.
Is Mappa Mare good for Mona?
While it isn’t her best choice for 4-Star weapons (That would be The Widsith), thanks to being Hydro which has one of the best reaction pairings in the game with Pyro in Vaporize or Electro Charged with Electro it can certainly work, especially if you are using her as an on the field DPS.
Final Thoughts
Mappa Mare is one of the best craftable options in Genshin Impact, with its potent passive and sizable boost to elemental reaction focused teams. Being a craftable item that can be made solely with materials gathered in game makes it considerably more accessible than some of its peers that may require wishes and good luck to attain.
