In Genshin Impact, adjusting your World Level is a crucial aspect of the game that we must understand. It affects the difficulty of the enemies we encounter and the quality of the rewards we receive. As we progress through the game, we have the flexibility to modify our World Level, providing a personalized challenge that is suitable for our level of play.
If we find the current enemies too challenging or the game too easy, we can alter the World Level to better suit our needs. This feature allows us to decrease the World Level temporarily, making our journey through Teyvat more manageable. Importantly, should we wish to revert to the original World Level for increased difficulty and rewards, we can do so. The process to change the World Level is straightforward and accessible via the Paimon Menu in the game.
Remember, we control the intensity of our adventure in Genshin Impact. By thoughtfully adjusting the World Level, we tailor our in-game experiences to fit our preferences perfectly, ensuring that each session is as enjoyable and rewarding as possible.

Understanding World Levels in Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact’s Dynamic Difficulty: World Levels
In Genshin Impact, we find that the game’s challenge and rewards scale with our Adventure Rank (AR). The system responsible for this scaling is known as “World Level.” As we increase our AR, we unlock new World Levels, each bringing a notable bump in difficulty but also enhancing the quality of loot dropped by enemies and contained in chests.
Unlocking and Advancing World Levels
Initially, World Levels increase automatically as our AR hits certain milestones. However, beyond AR40, World Levels are tied to successfully completing Ascension Quests, adding another layer of engagement to progression.
| AR Milestone | World Level | Ascension Quest Requirement |
| AR20, AR25, AR30… | Increases with AR | Not Required |
| AR40, AR45, AR50… | Ascension Quests Link | Required |
| AR55+ | Further Growth | Required |
The flexibility introduced in version 1.4 allows us to temporarily lower our World Level. This provides the control to adjust the game’s overall difficulty, so we can match it with our preferred playstyle or when playing with friends of different ARs.
Managing world level adaptation is integral as it directly affects the gameplay experience. It’s a delicate balance between challenge and enjoyment that we all navigate as we explore the vast world of Teyvat.
Raising and Managing Adventure Rank
Managing your Adventure Rank (AR) in Genshin Impact is crucial since it dictates the accessibility of game content, including higher World Levels. Progressing through the ranks is achieved by accumulating Adventure EXP, which can be earned through various activities within the game.
Increasing AR and Unlocking Higher World Levels
Primary sources to gain Adventure EXP include:
- Completing daily commissions
- Exploring and discovering waypoints
- Unlocking chests
- Completing quests and domains
- Offering Oculi to the Statue of the Seven
Each new AR provides access to quests and challenges, and upon reaching certain milestones, like AR 20 and AR 40, your World Level increases. Sometimes you will also need to complete an Ascension Quest to unlock the next World Level. These quests ensure that we are prepared for the challenges at higher levels.
Rewards and Challenges Associated with Higher AR
With each rank up, the game rewards us with a variety of items, including but not limited to Primogems, Mora, and materials needed for character and weapon enhancements. More challenging content becomes available, pushing us to refine our strategies and character builds.
| AR Milestones | Rewards | Challenge Aspect |
| AR 20, 40, etc. | Increased artifact quality, Primogems | Higher mob level, tougher bosses |
| AR 50+ | Luxurious rewards, ascent materials | Optimizing team compositions |
| AR 60 (Cap) | Final rewards, max potential | Endgame content, maximum difficulty |
Our journey doesn’t just stop at acquiring higher World Levels. As AR increases, so does the richness of our in-game experience, prompting us to harness a deeper understanding of combat mechanics, team synergies, and resource management. By actively participating in the variety of content Genshin Impact offers, we not only increase our AR but also our effectiveness and enjoyment of the game.
Adjusting World Level for Game Difficulty
In Genshin Impact, the World Level system allows us to tailor the game’s difficulty to our preference. This setting influences the strength of enemies and the quality of rewards.
How to Change World Level
- Select the ‘i’ Info symbol adjacent to your World Level indicator.
- Choose ‘Lower World Level’ from the options provided.
Reminder: This feature can only be utilized once every 24 hours.
Pros and Cons of Lowering World Level
Lowering our World Level can offer relief if we’re struggling with the current game difficulty. However, while it eases the challenge, the trade-off can be less valuable loot drops from defeated enemies and opened chests. On the other hand, if we’re confident in our abilities and want to ensure optimal rewards, maintaining or increasing the World Level is advisable.
Reverting World Level Option
| Step | Action | Confirmation |
| 1 | Access the Paimon Menu | Confirm that you want to change the difficulty. |
| 2 | Click the ‘i’ next to World Level | |
| 3 | Select ‘Revert World Level’ | A second confirmation will be required. |
Reverting to a higher World Level is an option if we wish to restore the game’s challenge. This option becomes available if we’ve previously lowered the World Level and wish to return to the original difficulty setting.
Maximizing Rewards and Gameplay Efficiency
As seasoned adventurers in Teyvat, we understand the importance of effectively managing our World Level to maximize rewards and maintain a steady progression. The goal is to strike the right balance between challenge and efficiency.
Optimizing Farming at Different World Levels
Each World Level in Genshin Impact presents us with a unique opportunity to optimize our farming strategies. When we’ve got the upper hand against enemies, lower World Levels let us efficiently farm common drops and materials. These are crucial for everyday character and weapon upgrades. However, as we set our sights on more rare and valuable items, higher World Levels become indispensable due to their increased drop rates for such rewards.
| World Level | Recommended Farming Focus |
| Lower Levels | Common Materials, Easy Bosses |
| Higher Levels | Rare Drops, Ascension Quests |
Balancing Grind and Rewards in Genshin Impact
Adjusting the World Level allows us to balance the grind against the quality of rewards received. It’s about finding a sweet spot where the difficulty feels just right, not too easy to become monotonous and not too hard to discourage our efforts. Our daily commissions, bosses, and domains should challenge us just enough to sharpen our skills without burning us out. By choosing the right World Level to match our playstyle, we can avoid unnecessary frustration and enjoy a more rewarding gameplay experience.
In events or when farming specific resources, sometimes it makes sense for us to temporarily lower our World Level. This can help us complete tasks more quickly, or when we’re helping friends who are at a lower World Level than ours. The pros and cons of each level should always be assessed in relation to our current objectives in the game.
