Genshin Impact Version 4.5 was recently released, bringing with it the major event Alchemical Ascension. If you, like many others, are confused about what to do at this event, then you are in luck. In this guide, we will teach you the various Market News that you can encounter while playing the Alchemical Ascension event in Genshin Impact.

Market News – Alchemical Ascension Event Guide

First off, let's talk about the event's duration. Alchemical Ascension will run in Genshin Impact from March 14, 2024, to April 1, 2024. Players can start the event at any time but must finish it before the event's end date. As of this article, all parts of the event are now unlocked. That means players can now finish the event in one sitting.

Alchemical Ascension Background

Alchemical Ascension is an event in Genshin Impact that focuses on the creation of potions. Players must use various reagents to create the perfect potion. They must then sell this potion, and with the profit improve their equipment, buy cauldron upgrades, and more. As the player progresses throughout the event, they will unlock various rewards, including the 4-star Polearm Dialogues of the Desert Sages, as well as its Refinement materials.

Alchemical Ascension Market News

An example of the Market News players may encounter.

The Market News dictates what potions the player will need to make if they want to maximize their profits. Each Market News has a short spiel about who wants the potion, as well as what effects they want on it (highlighted in yellow). This highlighted text will give big hints as to what potions the customer wants, but the player may also need to infer from the rest of the text what kind of potion they will need.

For example, in the example above, the second Market News highlights “ball” as the hint. As it does not outright say what stats are needed, players have to guess that the potion will likely need Charisma, Fragrant, and the like.

If you don't want to guess, then there's nothing to worry about. We have listed below all of the Market News variations that players may encounter in their playthrough of the Alchemical Ascension event. If you are looking for a particular Market News, you may just search it as needed. It's important to note that, although the Market News only shows 3 potion characteristics, some Market News may have more than three possible characteristics that will fit the bill.
