How to Use Treasure Compass

Displays Locations of Nearby Treasure Chests on the Map

Genshin - Using the Treasure Compass

The Treasure Compasses can detect nearby unclaimed Treasure Chests and will lead you to them with a golden wind-like effect. If you find a Treasure when using it, it has a cooldown of 30 seconds, but if no Treasure Chests were nearby it only needs 5 seconds to reset.

Each Region has its own Treasure Compass

Just like the Resonance Stones, each region have their own Treasure Compass as well. These devices will only work in their respective areas, so choose the region you focus on carefully.

You can also cheat a bit and use our map of Treasure Chests instead!

See our List of Treasure Chests Here

5.6 Developer's Discussion Update

Genshin - 5.6 Developer
According to the most recent Developer's Discussion for Version 5.6, the Treasure Compass will now be able to track Warrior Challenges and Tribe Secret Spaces.

Furthermore, after you have reached a certain amount of exploration in a region, the compass will begin tracking Mora chests, helping you to 100% areas much faster!

Version 5.6 Release Date and Characters

5.2 Developer's Discussion Update

Genshin Impact Teyvat Compass 5.2 Update.png

In the recent Developer's Discussion for Version 5.2, the new update for the Treasure Compass auto-swap has been announced. This update includes the auto-swap feature of the Treasure which automatically switches the region based on your current location!

Version 5.2 Release Date and Details

Recommended Use of Treasure Compasses

Use in Areas You Have Progress

We recommend using the Treasure Compass in an area where you have collected most of the obvious Treasure Chest, but not combed through entirely yet. Using a Compass in an area where the Treasure Chests are clearly visible would be a waste of your precious resources!

Check your Achievements

Mondstadt Area Liyue Area
Find 400 Treasure Chests Find 800 Treasure Chests

You can also decide on which region to focus on based on the number of Treasure Chests you have found so far. Especially if you're close to getting the Achivement in an area, this might be the best way to reach goal quickly!

You can see the amount of Treasure Chests you've found in the "Mondstadt: The City of Wind and Song" and "Liyue: The Harbor of Stone and Contracts" Achievement sections.

When a New Region is Implemented

Genshin - Use Treasure Compasses in New Areas (1).png

It might be a good idea to aim for reputation level 6 in entirely new areas as well, especially if you already know your way around Mondstadt and Liyue and have all of the Achievements.

However, since you probably have to get to reputation level 6 for an area before you can unlock the blueprint, it might take quite a while to get it.

How to Best Raise Your Reputation

Depends on Materials and Reputation

If getting to reputation level 6 takes a lot of time, holding off on collecting Treasure Chests till you get it will be a bad idea. Likewise, if the Compasses require rare and valuable materials, it might be better to save them and go Treasure Hunting on your own, or rely on our maps.
