A New type of banner in Genshin Impact

Developers will add a new type of banner to the game — "Chronicled Wish", something like a regional selection.

You need to set a course for a character or weapon. If set to a character, 5★ items obtained in banners non-guaranteed will only be characters. If set to a weapon, non-guaranteed drops will only be weapons.

A guaranteed 5★ at 80 prayers. If you didn't get the 5★ item you chose on the first try, you would definitely get that item the second time.

The counter of prayers spun carries over to the next banner of this type, but the guarantee resets. That is, if you wanted to get Klee, made 50 prayers, and the banner updated with different items — the history remains, but there's no guarantee, meaning you need to make about 80 spins again, not 30.

The stream showed that in patch 4.5, you could get: Mona, Albedo, Eula, Klee, Diluc, and Jean. Scamming the banner will be with weapons instead of characters.

Version 4.5 Events

The main event of the patch — alchemy at the Windblume Festival in Mondstadt, where you can get a free 4★ one-handed sword and other rewards. According to the story, the traveler will be brewing and selling potions.
