How to Craft and Enhance Weapons

In the fantasy world of Genshin Impact there are several ways that you can acquire new weapons for your characters, these include using Wishes to pull them from the gacha, as drops from the monsters you slay, from inside the chests that are scattered throughout Teyvat, and by crafting.

How to Craft Weapons

To craft weapons you need to go to the city of Monstadt and speak to Wagner the blacksmith, who can be found to the left as you enter the city's entrance. The blacksmith will craft weapons for you if you complete a simple quest, which is to bring him some Iron Ore. You will find this resource outside the city in Iron Ore Deposits next to cliffs. It will be in the form of large rocks which you need to break down until their health is gone using any of your weapons.

Once the blacksmith has his Iron Ore he will make your weapons whenever you have the required resources. In order for the blacksmith to craft the better weapons you will need to defeat bosses and powerful adversaries so he has the required ingredients.

How to Enhance Weapons

In Genshin Impact your weapons will rise in power and level when you enhance them. To enhance a weapon you first need to ensure your character has it equipped. Then go to the 'Character' menu and select 'Weapons' followed by the 'Enhance' option. In this tab you will see the level and stats for the weapon in the top-right and the 'Enhancement Materials' segment below it. You can now either use 'Auto Add' or if there are certain items you do not want to destroy you can select them manually via the six blocks below it.
