When first logging into the HoYoLAB website, the player will receive 100 Primogem and 10000 Mora. These rewards will be sent via the in-game mailbox.

In particular, the login progress will not be reset. So people don't need to worry about missing a few days of inactivity for roll call. The player will continue where he left off.

The rewards will then be sent to the player via mail in Genshin Impact. Just request on HoYoLAB and they will be added to the game account.

Battle Chronicles

Battle Chronicle is possibly the player's favorite tool in HoYoLAB. With it, people can share their existing Genshin characters, constellations, items and buildings. You can even see the Spiral Abyss of other players lining up. This helps inspire those who have struggled to reach the stars.

If the Battle Chronicle is accessed through the HoYoLAB app, players can even see a live count of their Resin and Expedition statuses. With this tool, people can easily know when to log in and use Resin.

To access Battle Chronicle, click Tools > Battle Chronicle. People can then see an overview of the Real-Time Notes data in My Characters.

After clicking View More in the upper right corner of the note, the gamer can access the details screen of the Note in real time, to see the information:

1. The current amount and recovery rate of Pure Resin in the game.
2. The current progress of the Daily Delegation quest.
3. Consumption halving challenge Memorable Strong Enemy this week.
4. Current Adventure Sending Progress

The data displayed at Battle Chronicle may have a certain delay, players should only use it for reference, please take the actual data in the game as the standard.

Interactive map of Teyvat

There are many Interactive Maps around, but none of them are official. The only official map available in China's BBS. Fortunately, after many suggestions, Global HoYoLAB can finally enjoy its own Teyvat Interactive Map.

As the name suggests, players can easily enter the items they want to find and the tool will mark the location on the map. This includes almost everything that can be found in Genshin Impact, including treasure chests, animals, and more.

Players can sync their in-game pinned assets to their map or mark up some collectibles (very handy when hunting Oculus). However, currently, there is no way to synchronize in-game progress with the map. Therefore, all marking processes must be done manually.

To use the Teyvat Interactive Map, choose Tools > Teyvat Interactive Map. This will take the user to the official Genshin Impact interactive map.

Gamers can choose anything, an item, an enemy or a boss, from the checklist on the map. As a result, the map will show the exact location of the selected materials as a small circular icon.

Traveler's Diary

Traveler's Diary is one of the newest tools in HoYoLAB. This book keeps a record of the player's Primogems and Mora earnings (for the last three months). By looking at it, players can keep track of their currency more easily. This tool will not consider currency earned through deposits or event prizes, so players can rely on that to predict how many monthly Primogems they can earn from the game.

Advanced Progress Calculator

The most recent tool released in HoYoLAB is the Enhancement Progression Calculator. This tool is extremely handy for resource management. To use it, the player simply inserts the desired character and their level. The computer will then show the player how many resources will be needed to upgrade the character.

If the player uses the HoYoLAB app, it will sync with the in-game progress, so no more manual input required.

In addition to the characters, this tool will also calculate the materials needed to upgrade weapons. But for now, the feature doesn't sync with in-game progress, even through the HoYoLAB app.

To use the improved Progress Calculator feature, players need to log in > select Tools on the right toolbar > Enhancement Progression Calculator.

After opening the Upgrade Progress Calculator, the first page players will see is the character section by default. All playable Genshin Impact characters will be listed here. People will pick any character to research and choose the level and talent they want to target.

Then scroll to the bottom of the box to select Total Amount Required to see the total amount of Mora and required materials required for the level you're targeting.

The same operation can be used for weapons and relics. For easier access, HoYoLAB even added many filters so that users can find the desired weapon.

For example, gamers can choose weapon type (sword, spear, bow,.) and rarity (from 1 star to 5 star) to determine the scope of the list and find the exact weapon.
