How to Use Dust of Enlightenment

Used to Reroll Level 20 Artifacts

The Dust of Enlightenment allows you to reroll the sub-stat enhancements of a fully-leveled artifact. If you have a good artifact piece but it rolled to the wrong substats, this item can help you fish for the correct substat!

You can reshape your artifact on the bottom right button inside the Artifact menu interface.

Specify Substats to Prioritize

This item also allows you to select two substats you wish to be prioritized. When using 1 Dust of Enlightenment, the item guarantees that you will get at least two rolls on either of your specified substats.

If the resulting reshaped artifact is still not up to your liking, you may choose to keep the original. However, the Dust of Enlightenment will not return to your inventory even if you decide to keep the original enhancements to the substats of the artifact piece!

2 Dusts of Enlightenment Needed for Some Artifacts

Amount Needed Artifact Piece
Genshin - Dust of Enlightenment x1
Genshin - Artifacts - Flower of Life - Flower IconFlower of Life,
Genshin - Artifacts - Plume of Death - Feather IconPlume of Death
Genshin - Dust of Enlightenment x2
Genshin - Artifacts - Sands of Eon - Hourglass IconSands of Eon,
Genshin - Artifacts - Circlet of Logos - Crown IconCirclet of Logos,
Genshin - Artifacts - Goblet of Eonothem - Goblet IconGoblet of Eonothem

Depending on the Artifact Piece, you must use 1 or 2 Dust of Enlightenments. Flowers and Plumes consume only 1 Dust of Enlightenment while Sands, Circlets, and Goblets need 2 Dust of Enlightenments.

Take a look at the bottom of the screen to see how many Dust of Enlightenments will you consume to reshape an Artifact.

What is Hallowed Exegesis

Advanced Reshape
Advanced Reshape
Decreed Reshape
Decreed Reshape
Requirements Obtain 6 points in Hallowed Exegesis Unlock Advanced Reshape x2
Effect At least 3 enhancements to selected substats At least 4 enhancements to selected substats

Once you use a Dust of Enlightenment to reroll an Artifact Piece, you will get 1 progress point in Hallowed Exegesis. When you obtain 6 progress points, you will unlock the Advanced Reshape and your chosen substats will get at least 3 enhancements.

After triggering Advanced Reshape twice, Decreed Reshape will take effect and the selected substats will get at least 4 enhancements. In short, if you use 12 Dust of Enlightenments, it is guaranteed that only the selected substats will get enhanced in your next Artifact reroll.

Note that you are not guaranteed to receive improvements for your selected substats! For example, you select attack and critical rate. You could end up with only attack receiving improvements. IMO this is not a good move on Genshin's part. Dust of Enlightenment is so rare that each substat should always receive at least one improvement. You should also get to keep them if you reject the "improvements".

In short use 1 dusk to get 2 guaranteed substats then use 6 to get 3 guaranteed then use 12 to get 4 guaranteed substats (And its double for sands, goblet and circlet).
