Luckily, unlocking The Dealing Sands World Quest in Genshin Impact has no prerequisites, so you can start it anytime. To begin, teleport to the southern waypoint on Mt. Mingyuan, Chenyu Vale, and head west to find two groups of Treasure Hoarders fighting each other by the road.

You need to defeat the mobs with red HP bars. This will trigger a short cutscene of Iron Dou'er explaining the situation to you and start the quest. Once you are done talking to her, follow the navigation and head to the next quest location to find the bosses of the two groups arguing over a deal.

As things get more heated, you intervene and defeat the hoarders from Fontaine. However, after the fight, the boss of the group from Liyue betrays you and asks his subordinates to take you out. But there's a twist. It is later revealed that Iron Dou'er is a part of the Millelith and was working undercover to catch the smugglers making illegal deals from Fontaine.

At any rate, once you take out both groups of Treasure Hoarders, Iron Dou'er and her group explain everything to you. This will also conclude The Dealing Sands World Quest in Genshin Impact, and you will get 30 Primogem rewards for completion. Additionally, you can head to Liyue Harbor and talk to Ms. Yu to collect 20 Liyue Reputation EXP.
