Genshin Impact Windblume's Breath event unlock requirements

To unlock the Windblume's Breath event in Genshin Impact, you need to be at least Adventure Rank 18 and have completed the Prologue, Act 3 'Song of the Dragon and Freedom' Archon Quest in order to take part.

It's also recommended you complete the 'Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises' Archon Quest and Albedo's 'Princeps Cretaceus Chapter: Act I' Story Quest first to get the best story experience from this event, but it's not required. You can choose 'Quick Start' from the event menu if you haven't completed both of these to access it instead.

If you meet the basic event requirements, head to the Adventurers Guild in Mondstadt and speak with Katheryne to start Act 1 of the 'Windblume's Breath' quest.

Once you complete 'A Gathering of Outlanders', the first act of this event story quest, you will then gain access to the three mini-events that make up Windblume's Breath.

Act 2 of the Windblume's Breath story unlocks Sunday, 5th March, with the final Act 3 unlocking on Tuesday, 7th March.

Genshin Impact Festive Tickets and Floral Coupons explained

Over the course of a week, more challenges for the three mini-events will become available in Mondstadt as part of the Windblume's Breath event.

There's also an event story quest that primarily focuses on Collei, but Tighnari and Cyno join her from Sumeru, and Albedo, Sucrose, Venti, Eula, and Amber also appear.

Act 1 is available on the first day of the event, with Act 2 unlocking Sunday, 5th March, and Act 3 on Tuesday, 7th March. You'll need to complete all three to complete the quest, but only need to finish Act 1, 'A Gathering of Outlanders', in order to gain access to the mini-events and their rewards.

For completing challenges as part of the mini-events, you'll earn Festive Tickets or Floral Coupons. Earning enough Festive Tickets and Floral Coupons is how you unlock the overarching rewards available in the event - just remember that you'll also receive additional rewards for completing each challenge of the three mini-events, including the free 4-Star Mailed Flower claymore.

Once you have enough Festive Tickets or Floral Coupons to claim a reward, you'll need to navigate to the 'Events' sub menu and then the 'Event Shop' on the Windblume's Breath section. You can then claim any reward you have earned enough points to get.

You have until the event ends on Monday, 20th March to earn Festive Tickets and Floral Coupons, but you can still claim any rewards with the currencies you have up until Monday, 27th March.
