Let's start with Xingqiu "Bamboo Rain," which can be obtained easily. Lantern Rite will introduce three new game modes. Each will have its own event challenges that you can complete to obtain the event currency. Once players have collected enough of this currency, they can go to the event page to claim Xingqiu's new outfit. After this event ends, the cosmetic will still be in-game but will have to be purchased using 1,680 Genesis Crystals.

On the other hand, Ganyu and Shenhe's new skin outfits will be made permanently available for purchase in the character outfit shop during Lantern Rite.

Both skin outfits are specially commissioned by Cloud Retainer for the auspicious flagship event. They will be released with Genshin Impact's 4.4 update and are going to be available at a discount until March 11, 2024. During this period, either outfit can be purchased at a reduced price of 1,350 Genesis Crystals.

After the discount period, Ganyu and Shenhe's outfits can be purchased for 1,680 Genesis Crystals apiece. Fortunately, you can buy Genesis Crystals in-game.
