Arcana Core in Genshin Impact is the game currency of the Astral Limit, required to perform Od. In the guide we will tell you how to get and use these gems.
How to use Arcana Cores
Cores are the local equivalent of Source Stones, but only work in event Odes – the standard prayer uses a different currency, the Geode of Reconstruction.
To perform one spin you will need 160 Cores, for 10, respectively, 1600.
How to get Arcana Cores
Exchange in the store
There are several in-game currencies that can be exchanged for Arcana Cores.
Time Granules
This is a donation currency, similar to Creation Crystals in the main game. One granule can be exchanged for 1 Core.
Engraved fragments
Currency is issued upon repeated receipt of a 4- or 3-star outfit or outfit element, 5 or 1 unit respectively.
10 fragments can be exchanged for 160 Arcana Cores.
Shining fragments
Currency is issued upon the third and subsequent drops of one legendary image.
For one shard in the store you can get 800 Cores.
Shining and engraved shards are also given out if a friend sent you an outfit you already have as a gift.
Thus, at the moment, getting Arcana Cores in a F2P game is quite difficult, especially if you don’t have friends who could give costumes, and a large number of Cores can only be purchased through donation.
