Genshin Impact’s long-awaited Lantern Rite Festival has finally arrived in Liyue, with quite a few new and fantastic limited-time events available for you to try out. One event in particular tasks the Traveler with helping to make some fireworks for the annual festivities, though you’ll need to get your hands on some dazzling new gadgetry to get this important job done—the Launch Tube.
The Launch Tube
Using the Launch Tube Gadget
For the duration of the Lantern Rite Festival, the Launch Tube can be used to smelt fireworks and earn Affluence Talismans. It’s a non-limited-time gadget, however, meaning that you’ll still be able to modify your own fireworks and launch them into the sky even after the event has ended. The Launch Tube can be obtained by taking part in the Flameplume Starflowers event, which is available from Jan. 25 to Feb. 12.
After you’ve obtained a Launch Tube of your very own, simply use the gadget in your inventory to initiate the Flameplume Starflowers: Production Challenge and start adjusting the quality of fireworks. You’ll have to use various smelting techniques to modify the firework’s color, size, and height parameters to the ideal zone, increasing its overall Quality Rating.
A higher rating will yield more rewards, and each Production Challenge can be attempted an endless number of times during the Lantern Rite Festival event. Be sure to use this to your advantage in order to collect some worthwhile collectibles, such as Primogems and unique fireworks, before the event’s duration ends.
Smelting techniques and effects
To create the perfect firework, you’ll have to utilize special smelting techniques. Initially, only two techniques will be available for use, though you can unlock more abilities by reaching the challenge’s target Quality Rating. When used, each technique will consume a certain amount of endurance, and smelting will end once all of your endurance has run out.
On top of draining your endurance, a portion of the Launch Tube’s Firepower Value will be consumed each time a smelting technique is used, changing the Launch Tube’s flame status. When the Firepower Value is at Medium or Full Fire, smelting will provide a medium and large bonus to the parameter’s Quality Rating, respectively.
Each smelting attempt has the possibility of having an effect called Curious Efficacy occur—the current parameter’s quality will automatically go up to be within the ideal zone upon the next smelting technique used. Smelting can be a little tricky to get the hang of at first, but you’ll have about two and a half weeks to practice before this exciting event ends!
