After a long time of asking for it, the Hoyoverse video game has offered us a way to get good artifacts more easily.One of the most important improvements that Genshin Impact has received with the arrival of Update 5.0 is the arrival of the Consecrating Writer and the Blessed Frost. Two objects with an unnecessarily complex name that at the time of truth can be summed up in a single idea: tools to save dozens of hours of the worst type of farming that the HoYoverse game had . However, like every mechanic that comes to a title with as many systems as this one, you have to know how to take advantage of it if you want to take advantage of it.
How to get the Consecratory Editor and what it is for
As a prelude to the guide, you should know that the Consecrating Writer is an item introduced in Natlan that is extraordinarily easy to obtain. If you have been playing Genshin Impact for a while, you will most likely already have it at your disposal, and if not, it won’t take long to get it. All you have to do is unlock the Adventurer’s Handbook by progressing through the story and reaching Chapter 4 of the Combat section . Complete the different objectives at your own pace: the Consecrating Writer is only useful as you progress through the story.
What is the purpose of the Consecratory Redactor? This object has two uses that are closely related to each other…
- Artifact Extraction : We can consume five-star artifacts from our inventory to create a resource called Blessed Frost.
- Artifact Definition : We can use Blessed Frost to create an artifact. We can choose which type of piece from which set and up to three stats (the main one and two of the secondary ones) and obtain it without the need to complete a mastery challenge.
It should be noted that this item has two limitations . On the one hand, we can only get one unit of Blessed Frost through artifact mining per upgrade. On the other hand, each artifact set can only be selected once per set.
How to get Blessed Frost
So far we have mentioned that Blessed Frost can be obtained through artifact mining using the Consecrating Writer. However, that is not the only way we can get our hands on it. There are other, even more interesting methods.
- Open world Natlan : Each tribe keeps one in the secret areas that can only be accessed with the Blue Obsidian Ring
- Gnostic Battle Pass : Obtained upon reaching level 26.
- Events : We will receive one as an anniversary reward, and more are expected to be handed out in each update.
How to use Blessed Frost and Consecrating Draftsman to get artifacts
In this section we have an obvious answer and a slightly more elaborate one. The obvious thing is that to use the item all you have to do is select it in the inventory. It’s in the Gadgets section inside the backpack . When you use it you will find a menu as you have seen in a previous photo of this same article and all you have to do is choose the set of gadgets you need, choose the type of piece you want and fill in the stats to your liking. The thing here is that there is a lot that is not visible to the naked eye .
The artifacts you should create with Blessed Frost
The Consecrating Draftsman is an item that we will rarely be able to use, because Blessed Frost is a limited resource. That is why it is best to optimize it to get the harder to obtain artifacts through farming. This leads us to a clear conclusion: almost every time we craft a piece it should be a Chalice . Why? Basically because these are the items that are least likely to give us the desired stats when completing a Mastery challenge.
- Math : In Genshin Impact, the probability of obtaining an Elemental Damage Chalice from the set we are looking for in any domain is 0.5%. Obtaining a Critical Damage Tiara, for example, is much easier (1%).
- One exception : Getting a Tiara or Chalice of Elemental Mastery is also incredibly difficult (0.4% and 0.25% respectively).
- A tip : Check character builds online to find out what stats your character needs beyond the main one, and keep in mind that they won’t always be damage and critical chance. The Spanish scene can boast of great content creators, take advantage of it.
With all the information you now have at your disposal, you should already know what artifacts to create. However, let’s boil it down even further by making a numbered list in order of priority regarding all the elements you need to take into account…
- Create a difficult to obtain artifact . It is strictly forbidden to create feathers or flowers, which are very easy to obtain. I also do not recommend watches or tiaras (helmets) unless we are talking about an Elemental Mastery tiara. The only thing we should create are chalices of elemental, physical or mastery damage.
- You should prioritize upgrading your under-equipped characters . This mechanic won’t guarantee you a perfect artifact, but it will guarantee you one that will allow a character to do their job. Using it on units you already have half-built can be a waste.
- You should prioritize the highest damage dealing characters on your team . A support character can do their job well without perfect stats, but a carry needs to be well equipped to deal the most damage. Remember that the carry is not always the one on the field. There are teams where Xiangling, for example, is the real ‘mvp’.
You already know everything you need to do things right, so don’t be afraid to make mistakes now . There are no fatal flaws in Genshin Impact, especially if you’ve followed all these steps. Take advantage of Blessed Frost and Consecrating Writer (I still wonder why they haven’t called it Artifact Transmuter) and use them to enjoy the game more.
