You heard it right: Genshin Impact is finally getting the long-awaited Resin increase in the upcoming Patch 4.7, and it's going to change the game forever.
4.7 Update brings more RESIN
The update, confirmed by developer HoYoverse on Genshin's official X (formerly Twitter) account on May 22, is a huge quality of life improvement that Genshin players have been craving, finally arriving after three and a half years.
Original Resin is a valuable energy source in Genshin Impact, used to collect rewards and materials for characters, talents, weapons, and Mora. You continuously regenerate Resin up to a maximum of 160. Once you’ve spent your Resin, it takes 21 hours and 20 minutes to fully replenish it. It’s mainly needed for farming materials and building characters, but it also limits your playtime by restricting the rewards you can claim for completing activities, something players have historically criticized.
After nearly four years, HoYoverse decided to increase the Resin cap from 160 to 200. While any increase is welcome, the change caused division within the entire Genshin community.
