Hey Travelers! With Version 4.3 in full swing, I just had to dive into the second phase's Lost Riches event. 🌟 It's honestly one of my favorite recurring activities—who doesn't love a good treasure hunt led by the ever-enthusiastic Ulman? This time, we're back in Fontaine, hunting for hidden chests, collecting Primogems, Mora, and that ultimate prize... a brand new Mini Seelie pet! Let me walk you through everything I've learned to make sure you don't miss a single coin or chest.

So, what's the deal this time? The Lost Riches event is all about using a special Treasure-Seeking Seelie to sniff out hidden treasure chests scattered across Teyvat. Ulman, our trusty event NPC, hangs out in Fontaine and gives you a Treasure Book. This book is your bible—it updates daily with new marked locations where treasures are buried. You basically get to be a pirate for a week, but cuter and with more sparkly companions.

📅 Event Duration & Basic Requirements

First things first, mark your calendars! The event runs until January 15, 2024. That's not a lot of time, so don't procrastinate like I sometimes do with my commissions! 😅 To join the fun, you need:

  • Adventure Rank 20 or above (pretty easy for most of us by now).

  • Unlocked any Statue of The Seven in Fontaine. If you've been exploring the region, you're golden.

🎮 My Step-by-Step Guide to Playing

Here’s exactly what I did, broken down into simple steps:

  1. Meet Ulman & Grab the Book: Head to Fontaine and find Ulman. He'll give you the Treasure Book. Easy peasy!

  2. Open the Map & Summon Your Seelie Buddy: Open the event menu, check the book for today's treasure areas, and teleport to the nearest waypoint. Once there, summon your Treasure-Seeking Seelie. It's this adorable little floating guide that does all the hard work.

  3. Follow the Seelie's Glow: Your minimap will show pulsing energy signals. Follow your Seelie to these spots.

  4. Absorb that Energy! Stand in the glowing area and let your Seelie absorb the energy. You need to do this three times per treasure area.

  5. Reveal & Conquer the Chest! After the third energy absorption, a treasure chest location is revealed! But wait... it's not just a simple open. Each chest triggers a Treasure Hunting Challenge. These can be:

    • Defeating a group of enemies within a time limit.

    • Collecting a certain number of energy orbs that appear.

    • Sometimes it's just a simple puzzle! Complete the challenge to finally claim the chest.

💰 The Real Treasure: Ancient Iron Coins & Rewards

Okay, so you're opening chests. What's inside? Every chest gives you the usual suspects:

  • Primogems (the true endgame currency 💎)

  • Mora (never enough, am I right?)

  • Ancient Iron Coins (the special event currency!)

These Ancient Iron Coins are your ticket to the good stuff. You exchange them at the event shop (accessed through the event menu). Here's what I'm saving up for:

Item to Exchange Cost (Ancient Iron Coins) Why It's Worth It
Mini Seelie Pet 280 Coins THE MAIN GOAL! Choose your favorite color.
Hero's Wit 30 Coins each Always need more EXP books.
Mystic Enhancement Ore 15 Coins each Weapon leveling essentials.
Mora 10 Coins per 10,000 Mora Good backup if you're short.
Weapon Ascension Materials Varies Great for stocking up!

✨ The Crown Jewel: Mini Seelie Pets!

Let's be real, we're all here for the pets. 🥹 By collecting enough Ancient Iron Coins, you can get one of these adorable Mini Seelies that will float alongside you in the world. They don't have combat abilities, but the companionship and cute factor are 100% worth it. This event usually has different colors or styles each time, so check the shop to see which one speaks to your soul!

💡 My Pro-Tips for Efficient Farming

After a few days of hunting, here's what I've found works best:

  • Do it daily! New treasure areas unlock each day. Don't save them all for the last day—it's a grind.

  • Use the interactive map. If you're stuck finding an energy spot, sometimes the terrain is tricky. Online resources can help, but try exploring thoroughly first!

  • Prioritize the Seelie. Make sure you have enough coins for the Mini Seelie first, then spend the rest on other resources.

  • Team up! While you can do it solo, tackling the combat challenges is sometimes faster with a friend in co-op.

Honestly, this event is a fantastic source of free resources and a super cute cosmetic. The treasure-hunting loop is simple but satisfying, and having a new little friend following you around is just the best. Don't let the event end before you've claimed your Mini Seelie! Get out there, follow your Seelie, and happy hunting, everyone! 🗺️⚔️💖
