Despite his efforts to implement Genshin Impact patch 2.7 on time, MiHoyo had to face the facts; the health situation in China has led to a significant delay in the maneuver. The publisher reviewed its road map for its flagship game in extremis, and distributed compensation to be forgiven. For us players, this indicates that we will have to go through a period of scarcity, whether in events, banners or content of all kinds. You might as well hang on to each new feature to hold on, starting with the next event: “Spices from the West”: creation of special seasonings.
The event in brief
- Starts Saturday, May 14 at 10 a.m.
- Ends Tuesday, June 7 at 4 p.m.
- Lvl. of adventure greater than or equal to 20 required to prepare seasonings
- Lvl. of adventure greater than or equal to 28 and complete the quest “Chat over tea” to be able to cook the required dishes and invite characters to taste them
Operation of the event
A new seasoning recipe is unlocked every day for the first 7 days of the event. You can create fragrant seasonings using these recipes and get the corresponding rewards.
● Adding a fragrant seasoning to a “delicious” dish results in a “fragrant” dish. Invite characters into your Serenitheater to taste these fragrant dishes to increase their Affinity EXP and enjoy varying reactions from them, depending on their personal tastes. During the event, the number of times a character’s Affinity EXP increases is limited.
● Reach Lv. adventure 28 and complete the quest “The teapot of your dreams” to unlock the Serenitheater. Complete the “Tea Chat” quest unlocked from Taby to get your Kingdom Transit Permit. You can then cook the required dishes and invite characters to taste them.
An event that would also be a clue to the arrival date of 2.7?
Normally, the end date of this event would trivially mean the start of the next patch. Except that this version 2.7 is plagued by a still unclear delay. MiHoyo was careful not to give a release date, and some of the most influential data miners, like SaveYourPrimosexplain that the duration of the event is maximized for “provide flexibility with future content release dates“.
Clearly, we should not rely too much on this date of June 7 as an anchor point for the next version 2.7.
