Here’s the scoop: after the 5.2 update, the Treasure Compass won’t just point you toward treasure chests anymore. Nope! It might help you detect hidden puzzles and time-trial challenges, making exploration even more immersive. Can you imagine the hours of map-scouring this will save?
No more flipping between the game and the Interactive Map just to find a hidden puzzle. If this leak is on point, the Treasure Compass could ping the location of puzzles and challenges on your mini-map. Now that’s a game-changer, literally. For those of us who love to fully explore every inch of Teyvat (but don’t always have the time), this could be the perfect quality-of-life improvement.
Other Juicy Leaks from Genshin 5.2
While the Treasure Compass upgrade is probably the star of the show, there are some other cool quality-of-life (QoL) changes rumored to drop in 5.2. Leakers like laine4466 have also hinted at features that’ll make gameplay smoother. Here are a few that stood out:
- Natlan’s Fishing Association could finally be introduced. Fishing fans, rejoice!
- A Recap Feature might let you catch up on the previous storylines before starting new Archon Quests. Perfect if you’re a little foggy on the details (no judgment—we’ve all been there).
- PC players could get the option to limit co-op mode to fellow PC gamers. Cross-platform shenanigans are fun, but sometimes it’s nice to keep things simple.
- For the Serenitea Pot decorators out there, we might see a new filter added to Furnishing Sets.
All in all, it looks like the 5.2 update isn’t just about flashy new content—it’s shaping up to be a solid round of improvements that’ll make the game more fun and less frustrating for everyday players.
The Treasure Compass: Then and Now
To really appreciate this possible update, let’s do a quick rewind. The Treasure Compass was first introduced way back in version 1.1. It was a lifesaver for players who wanted to track down those tricky chests hidden around Mondstadt and Liyue. If you leveled up your Reputation to 6 in either of these regions, you could unlock blueprints to craft the Anemo and Geo Treasure Compasses.
But what could they do? In a nutshell, they helped you find treasure chests by showing you the general direction with a wind-like effect. If you were lucky enough to find a chest, it would go on cooldown for 30 seconds. No chest nearby? No problem—it only took 5 seconds to reset.
So, the treasure-hunting was nice and all, but it didn’t cover everything. The new leaked version of the Treasure Compass might fix that by detecting hidden puzzles and challenges. That means no more wandering aimlessly or relying on third-party maps to track down every hidden secret. Talk about a time-saver!
How to Get Your Hands on the Treasure Compass (In Case You Forgot)
Not sure if you have the Treasure Compass yet? Here’s a quick refresher:
- To unlock the Anemo Treasure Compass, you need to reach Reputation Level 6 in Mondstadt. Then, you can craft it using Golden Raven Insignia, Philanemo Mushrooms, and Crystal Chunks.
- For the Geo Treasure Compass, it’s the same deal but in Liyue. Just replace the Philanemo Mushrooms with Cor Lapis.
It’s pretty straightforward once you’ve hit the required reputation level, but getting the right materials can take some time. Honestly, the treasure-hunting benefits are worth it, especially now with the potential for it to get even better.
What Does This Mean for Genshin Impact Players?
So, what does this all mean for us Travelers? Well, first off, exploration might become a lot more enjoyable. If you’re the kind of player who loves hunting for every last chest, solving every puzzle, and taking on time trials, the new Treasure Compass could be your new best friend. It makes the process smoother, less stressful, and more rewarding.
Plus, for casual players who don’t have hours to spend combing the map for every secret, this new feature could make exploration less of a chore and more of a fun, laid-back activity.
There’s no official word from HoYoverse just yet, so we’ll have to wait and see if these leaks pan out. But honestly? It sounds pretty exciting. Even if only half of these QoL updates make it into the game, Genshin Impact 5.2 is shaping up to be an update worth getting hyped for.
