Genshin Impact: How to Get and Use the Parametric Transformer

Genshin Impact has introduced many gadgets since its release in September 2020. And while they range from useful, useless, and event-specific, gadgets are there to make your life easier. One such gadget often overlooked is the Parametric Transformer. Its ability to give resourceful players some free rewards at the cost of dumping their unused items is often forgotten. In this guide, we look into the details of getting, using, and maximizing the benefits of the Parametric Transformer.

Getting the Parametric Transformer in Genshin Impact

To get the Parametric Transformer, players must complete the Tianqiu Treasure Trail quest in the Liyue region. This quest becomes accessible once players reach Adventure Rank 31. Lan, the quest giver is located near Katheryne's desk at the Adventurer's Guild in Liyue Harbor. Lan will guide players through a series of tasks that will reward players with the Parametric Transformer.

The Parametric Transformer is a device capable of transforming common or rare items into valuable bundles of resources. Items are assigned point values based on their rarity, with common items worth fewer points and rarer ones carrying higher values. The transformed bundles may include Mora, Character EXP materials, Weapon Enhancement materials, Character Ascension materials, Talent Books, and Weapon Ascension materials.

Using the Parametric Transformer

   • Activate the Transformer using an elemental skill or in the presence of constant elemental damage.

2. Locating the Parametric Transformer in Your Inventory:

   • Access the gadget section of your inventory, like the Serenitea Pot mechanics.

   • Place the Parametric Transformer in a suitable location.

3. Selecting Items for Transformation:

   • Items with a combined value of 150 points are required for a transformation.

   • Rarity determines point values (Common: 1 point, Uncommon: 2 points, Rare: 3 points, Epic: 4 points).

   • Optimal choices include easily obtainable items like mint, berries, and sweet flowers.

4. Using Elemental Skills:

   • Rewards include Mora, Character EXP materials, Talent Books, and more.

Maximizing the Parametric Transformer's Potential

   • Use plants, herbs, and local specialty items for extra Talent and Experience Books.

2. Use Common Items:

   • Opt for common, easily obtainable items for better results.

   • Avoid sacrificing valuable ascension and talent materials.

3. Collect Everything:

   • The game does not penalize or reward players based on the types of items used.
