Genshin Impact has seen a ton of updates since its launch in December. Previously, Mondstadt was a starter region that helped set up the game's story. Now, it contains the Dragonspine regions, as well as extra world quests that award Primogems to players brave enough to complete them. While Primogems are given out for story-related events like joining the Adventurers guild in Mondstadt, this isn't really enough to make a pull.
With the addition of Dragonspine, though, players can now earn a wealth of primogems without having to venture to Liyue in the early hours of gameplay. Below is a guide to every single quest that gives Primogems in Mondstadt.
9 Time And The Wind - 60 Primogems
Time and the Wind is a quest that can be activated by going to the far off island near Starsnatch Cliff. The player will need to raise their stamina quite a bit to make the long glide to the island. Once there, they will need to examine the island, wait too late at night, and then use elemental sight to solve the puzzle.
There will be a bit of fighting against an Eye of The Storm, but the quest is generally easy to complete.
8 Bough Keeper: Dainsleif - 60 Primogems
This quest was introduced in version 1.3 and helps to answer some questions about the missing sibling. It's a straightforward quest with multiple steps, and many players can complete it by consulting a simple guide or exploring around a bit.
Players will need to be Adventure Rank 36 before this quest becomes available.
7 In The Mountains - 60 Primogems
This is a longer quest that players will need to solve several puzzles in order to complete. To start the quest, though, speak with Iris and the Dragonspine camp. She will want you to investigate some ice that is blocking one of the mountain paths, which can only be done with scarlet quartz.
Prepare to bring along a bow user like Diona and pay close attention to the warming Seelie in the puzzles.
6 The Festering Fang - 50 Primogems
This is a quest that players should do as it will unlock the powerful four-star Dragonspine spear. To begin the quest, find a strange tooth in the Dragonspine region and then take it to Orban at the Dragonspine camp; he will send you on a mission to find three more teeth scattered around the map and some Starsilver.
This will lead to fighting a few Fatui members and having to explore several different parts of the region.
5 The Great Mountain Survey - 40 Primogems
To begin this quest, you will need to speak with a woman on the Entombed City Outskirts across the river from the mountain. Esther will inform the traveler that she has lost three beacons in the mountain and needs them retrieved. The locations are marked on the map and easy to get to.
Once the player gathers them, an additional four spots on the map will be marked for the player to place the retrieve beacons.
4 The Great Mountain Survey II - 40 Primogems
This will become available after completing the first Great Mountain Survey. This is a bit simpler for the player as long as they have made it to the top of the mountain. Esther will simply request that the player place the beacon on the highest point of the mountain near the Skyfrost Nail.
Afterward, the player will need to simply deliver a letter to Cyrus at the Adventurers Guild.
3 A Land Entombed - 50 Primogems
To begin A Land Entombed, the player will need to find the Ancient Investigation Journals throughout the region. The player will need to follow the clues in the journals in order to find the others. There are three journals in total that will need to be gathered and given to Stevens in the Dragonspine camp.
The journals will all involve solving small puzzles in the region, and most players find the first by just naturally exploring the mountain.
2 Lost In The Snow - 40 Primogems
To start this quest, go to the Dragonspine camp and speak to a small boy named Joel. He will ask you to search for his father on the mountain as he is worried about him. This will lead you to a series of different locations that notes describing Joel's father's adventure progress.
There are three notes in total; once they are all gathered, return to Joel to report what you have found.
1 Ah, Fresh Meat! - 40 Primogems
To begin this quest, talk to Harris in the Dragonspine camp, who will request you find him ten pieces of chilled meat. This can be obtained from thawing out and killing the frozen boars scattered around the mountain. Once you return, Harris will request that you hunt down the legendary Snowboar King.
Simply go to the Snowboar King's location on the map and defeat him to help Harris complete his dish. This will also unlock the Goulash recipe that helps fight off the effects of sheer cold.
