I recently dove into Genshin Impact's Reel Ad-Venture event, a refreshing break from combat where I got to create promotional videos across Teyvat. After chatting with Xavier near Café Lutece in Fontaine, I received commissions requiring creative editing skills. Completing each ad with a Rave review felt incredibly satisfying, especially when Primogems, Mora, and EXP materials poured into my inventory as rewards. What truly captivated me was how each region's unique personality shone through these ads – Mondstadt's chivalry, Liyue's culinary passion, Inazuma's chaotic energy. It reminded me why I fell in love with this world. my-reel-ad-venture-journey-in-genshin-impact-image-0

Unlocking the Creative Experience

To access this event, I needed Adventure Rank 20 and completion of the "Song of the Dragon and Freedom" Archon Quest. While optional, finishing Inazuma's Tatara Tales quest added rich context that made the Arataki Gang's commission especially hilarious. Once requirements were met, Xavier's quest marker popped up – no treasure hunts or boss fights required! The mechanics were simple but engaging: read a synopsis, then assemble shots into cohesive stories. Perfection meant aligning every frame with the client's vision.

Knights of Favonius: Potion Perfection

My first commission came from Mondstadt's knights. The ad opened with Sucrose and Noelle fretting over ineffective potions in shots 1-4. Seeing Noelle's disappointment actually tugged at my heartstrings. Then Timaeus stole the spotlight in shots 5-7, lecturing about wise potion choices with that typical researcher intensity. The magic happened when shots 8-11 showed Noelle selecting premium Favonian potions and demolishing hilichurls! Timaeus' closing endorsement felt earned after that transformation.

Wanmin Restaurant: Culinary Charisma

Liyue's commission overflowed with flavor. Guoba's adorable welcome in shots 1-4 made me instantly hungry. Chef Mao's passionate sales pitch followed seamlessly. But Shenhe truly surprised me in shots 5-7 – her deadpan delivery about "budget-friendly deliciousness" created hilarious contrast. Xiangling's vibrant energy in shots 8-11 showcasing fresh ingredients had me craving almond tofu. The unscripted moment of Guoba sneaking snacks in the final shots? Pure gold.

Arataki Gang: TCG Troubles

Chaos reigned in Inazuma's commission. Shots 1-4 showed Itto distributing Mora allowances to gang members, their spending debates echoing player discussions about in-game purchases. Shots 5-8 revealed Itto's frustration with their plans – that exaggerated pout had me laughing aloud. His Genius Invokation TCG deck proposal in shots 9-10 felt so on-brand, especially with Shinobu's exasperated behind-the-scenes cameo. The TCG slogan delivery in shot 11 made me want to duel him immediately.

Sumeru's Scholarly Struggle

Sumeru's commission featured Madam Faruzan's emotional rollercoaster. Shots 1-3 showed her awaiting mentorship replies with palpable anticipation. My heart sank seeing rejection letters in shots 4-7, especially when her hopeful expression crumpled. Shots 8-10 masterfully depicted her journey from irritation to graceful acceptance – a subtle nod to academic resilience. Cyno's closing advice about "weighing options" in the final shot carried unexpected wisdom.

Fontaine's Tabletop Triumph

The Fontaine commission felt like joining an actual game night! Shots 1-6 featured Clorinde as Game Master guiding Navia, Lyney, and Lynette through encounters. Navia's "Persuasion" attempts on a Sternshield Crab had me giggling. Shots 7-9 delivered the funniest moment: Furina questioning if plants could be persuaded, only for Navia to reveal her "Speak with Plants" ability to loot a Cryo Regisvine's treasure. Lyney and Lynette's synchronized slogan recital was the perfect finale.

People Also Ask

  • Do you need Fontaine access for this event?

Yes, since Xavier is in Fontaine, but you can teleport directly if you've unlocked the Statue of Seven.

  • Can you redo commissions after completion?

Unfortunately no – each commission is one-time only, so make those Rave reviews count!

  • How many Primogems total can you earn?

Approximately 420 Primogems across all five commissions plus weapon enhancement ores and Mora.

  • Are character cameos region-locked?

Surprisingly no – Shenhe appears in Liyue's ad despite being a Liyue character in Inazuma's setting.

My Vision for Future Ad-Ventures

I'd love to see ads featuring underground factions like the Treasure Hoarders or Fatui – imagine creating propaganda for Childe! More interactive editing tools would be amazing too, like adding text overlays or choosing background music from Genshin's soundtrack.

Ultimately, this event showcased Hoyoverse's genius in blending storytelling with gameplay. Rewards aside, I'll cherish helping Noelle find confidence, capturing Guoba's mischief, and hearing Arataki Itto's booming laugh as highlights of my Teyvat journey.
