The Mystic Offering system added in Genshin Impact Update 2.0 allowed players to sacrifice their spare or excess 5-star artifacts in exchange for 1 random artifact from their desired set. Players could only initially choose from 4 artifact strongboxes of 4 high-demand artifact sets to sacrifice their spares to. Recent leaks, however, suggest that Genshin’s Sumeru update which is likely going to be Update 3.0, will add 10 new artifact strongboxes for players to sacrifice their excess artifacts to.
The initial 4 artifact sets were very versatile and high-demand since two of them were only dropped by weekly and world bosses, namely- Gladiator’s Finale and Wanderer’s Troupe and the other two hailed from the most efficient domain Pre-Inazuma release- Clear Pool and Mountain Cavern which gave us the Bloodstained Chivalry and Noblesse Oblige sets. This meant players had to farm that domain less and also have a stable reliable source of the other two sets that did not involve fighting bosses tediously.

The 10 New Artifact Strongboxes to be Added in Genshin Impact 3.0
Players will note that the artifact sets below all belong to the Mondstat and Liyue regions of the game. Therefore it’s clear that players will still have to farm for Inazuman artifacts manually using their valuable resin. It also shows how Genshin devs have perhaps realized how most early game artifact domains have become obsolete in the current meta and are rather not wasted resin on. Below are the 10 new artifact set strongboxes that players can look forward to in the mYstic Offering system of Genshin 3.0-
- Thundering Fury
- Thundersoother
- Viridescent Venerer
- Maiden Beloved
- Archaic Petra
- Retracing Bolide
- Crimson Witch of Flames
- Lavawalker
- Blizzard Strayer
- Heart of Depth
While initially this system was received with a lot of criticism from most f2p and small spending players, it has since gradually become a valuable system to get rid of excess artifacts in exchange for ones from the 4 most desired sets in the game. Whales especially welcome the Mystic Offering system as their long hours of grinding for perfect artifacts leaves them with plenty of excess ones which are difficult to destroy all at once. This addition of new artifact sets will thus most likely be a welcome upgrade.
