Royal Grimoire is a weapon that was introduced along with the game’s release and the only way to obtain this weapon is through Paimon’s Bargains. Part of the Royal series, this weapon shares the category along with Royal Bow, Royal Greatsword, Royal Longsword and Royal Spear. While having an ATK% substat, this weapon also has a passive that makes it much easier for rapid fire characters to crit with. The increase in CRIT Rate at maximum stacks is really high, in turn letting you invest completely on CRIT DMG.
This book was crafted under the supervision of the Lawrence Clan and has been coated with wax to prevent decay. This was used by the royal mages who were tasked with teaching the royalties. Due to the high quality of the materials used, this weapon still stands strong, without a loss in quality even after all these years. The book represents the sin of the mages who failed to teach the royalty about the history and purpose behind Lawrence Clan and about how they turned a blind eye to the injustice of the aristocrats.

Story
A delicate scroll treated with wax to prevent decay and moth damage.
It contains the research of royal mages—research which is still rather forward-looking to this day.
The royal mages were tasked with nourishing the water and soil as well as fighting off monsters. They also served as tutors for the nobles.
Therefore, the scroll contains a wealth of information regarding history, governance, management, and culture.
When the people overthrew the royals, they exiled the royal mages at the same time,
For the mages had forsaken their responsibility to instill goodness and virtue in the nobles, instead becoming birds of a feather with them.
In the early days of Mondstadt, the Lawrence clan was led by Venerare.
Under her guidance, the people built a tall statue in the plaza to commemorate the miracle of the Anemo Archon's descent.
The inscription beneath the statue was put there by the leader of all the clans. It bore an oath of protection to Mondstadt that they had sworn.
Over the years, the Lawrence clan forsook the noble aspirations of their forebears, and the statue was taken down.
The wise mages of the court spoke neither of history nor of the oath ever again.
In the age of the Knights of Favonius, the statue was rebuilt.
But the wording of the oath on the inscription was lost forever.

FAQs
Is Royal Grimoire a good weapon in Genshin Impact?
Royal Grimoire is a decent weapon in Genshin Impact. While this weapon can be good on many characters, there are more than often better options for these characters with better stats. Due to this, while it is not the worst weapon, it is also not the best.
Who is Royal Grimoire good for?
There are many characters that can utilise the Royal Grimoire. However, it is not used efficiently when put on most characters. While it is absolutely worthless on Kokomi or Barbara, it can be quite good on Klee or Sucrose due to their aoe damage capability. However, there are much better free to play options for both these characters, making this weapon not worth the starglitter.
Who uses Royal Grimoire?
Royal Grimoire was originally used by mages of the Lawrence clan. However, Klee is now seen holding it in her official character demo, “Klee Da-Da Da!”.
Final Thoughts
Royal Grimoire is quite a unique weapon due to its manner of providing CRIT Rate to the character wielding this weapon. Due to this, the weapon is lacking in playability. While this weapon can provide incredible amounts of CRIT Rate, especially at high refinements, it is better to run a more consistent method of getting CRIT Rate to obtain more consistent damage. While this weapon is in no way a bad weapon, it is simply outclassed by most other weapons.
