  • The Stories of Fontaine: A Guide to Daily Commissions and Reputation Systems in Genshin Impact 4.0

    There are seven countries on the magical land of Teyvat, each with its own style. And now, the protagonist of the topic has come to Fontaine. This is not Paris, but it has the romance of Paris; it is not Venice, but it is full of water.

    As a qualified traveler, when you step into Fontaine, in addition to enjoying the scenery, listening to music, and chatting with NPCs about life, you have to do some serious work. For example: daily commissions and reputation systems.

    Speaking of this, we have to start from the beginning.

    ### 1. Everything starts with the main line

    “Want to take daily commissions? Sure, finish the main line first.”

    This sentence is like the unspoken rules in the ancient officialdom: Do you want to be promoted? Okay, then you have to be recommended by someone first, and you have to do an errand. The official of Fontaine is no exception. To unlock daily commissions, you must first complete **two acts of the main storyline**:

    * **The prologue of White Dew and Black Tide**
    * **The light rain that seems to fall for no reason**

    To put it simply, it means that the storyline is complete, otherwise there is nothing to talk about.

    Do you think this is over? It’s still early. The main storyline is just an “application for joining the party”. If you really want to “assign a job to the organization”, you have to report to **Catherine** of the Adventurer Association to trigger the world mission – **”Adventure is to go to the distance”**.

    After completing it, the familiar little red dots will slowly appear in your commission menu.

    ### 2. Daily commissions are not just running errands

    Four tasks a day, one batch a day, this is the cleverness of the system design – let you come back every day to “punch in”.

    But the commissions of Fontaine are different from those of other places. In Liyue, you may help someone catch a hillman; in Inazuma, you may deliver a lunch box; and in Fontaine? You may have to help a little robot find its mother.

    Although the commission is small, there are many varieties. From underwater exploration equipment to investigating technological out-of-control, and even occasionally chatting about life with a robot fish that sounds like Shakespeare. Don’t think this is just a task, it is a cultural output, a collision of technology and humanity, and a microcosm of the rule of law society in Fontaine.

    And every time you complete a commission, you can not only get raw stones, Mora, and experience, but also promote the accumulation of reputation. To put it bluntly, the more you do, the more people in the city will recognize you as a person.

    ### 3. Reputation system, from a worker to an acquaintance

    “Who are you?”-When you first came to Fontaine, you may be just an unknown person.

    But as long as you complete enough tasks and your reputation rises, the treatment will be different. The regional reputation system is designed like this:

    * Accumulated reputation can unlock **regional props** (such as Fontaine’s special equipment);

    * After increasing the level, you can even get special drawings and commemorative items;

    * Moreover, for some side quests, you have to have enough reputation before the NPC will pay attention to you.

    It’s like when you first join the company, you can only do odd jobs at first; but after working for a long time, the boss likes you and is willing to give you the “core project”.

    ### 4. Process arrangement (no nonsense, but clear)

    1. Complete the two acts of the main storyline of Fontaine.
    2. Go to the Adventurer’s Association to find Catherine and accept the task “Adventure is to go far away”.
    3. After completion, the daily commission of Fontaine will be automatically unlocked.
    4. Open the Adventurer’s Handbook → Commission → Select “Fontaine” in the region to start the daily task.
    5. Complete the task to accumulate reputation and unlock the reward.

    This process is not difficult, but it is not too simple. The key is not to run the process, but to understand the logic behind it: the designer hopes that you will develop a rhythm of “participation” in the game – neither let you be idle nor tired.

    ### 5. Summary in one sentence

    **The essence of the daily commission and reputation system of Fontaine is “one step at a time, and the work will not be in vain”. **

    You do a little bit every day, which may seem insignificant, but little by little, you will eventually find that you have become the most popular traveler in this city without realizing it.

    Does it sound like what we often say when reading history?

    “The person who really changes history is often not the most dazzling person, but the person who works silently every day.”

    The same is true in Genshin Impact.
