Over the past year,Genshin Impactmanaged to maintain its success in being one of the best open-world games around. Because of this, it’s only natural that the developer creates a space for the fans to interact and keep the community alive. This place is known as theHoYoLAB, an official forum where people can find the most recent news and events.
Previously, people could only post things related to miHoYo games. But recently, HoYoLAB even opened a newLABsection, where users can talk about practically anything. This broadens the range of things that will buzz in the forum.
At first, HoYoLAB was a simple forum made for conversations. But as time goes, the site goes through a lot of changes. Some are great, while some others are controversial. Among the significant changes are new gadgets for people to use. Here are the details for each of them.

How Is HoYoLAB Related To Genshin Impact?
HoYoLAB is an official forum for miHoYo’s games. This includesGenshin Impact,Honkai Impact 3rd,Tears of Themis, andHonkai: Star Rail. As this platform is official, players can trust the site to bring the most up-to-date official information.
For people who haven’t tried it out yet, then they should give it a shot. The forum is filled with events that rewardPrimogemsandMerchandise.Honkai Impact 3rdandTears of Themissection also have contests and events to take part in. On top of that, there are some handy tools available for every game.
HoYoLAB Tools For Genshin Impact
HoYoLAB continues to be developed over time. At first, there were zero tools available on the forum. But now, there are fiveGenshin Impacttools players can use. These are:
Daily Check-in
It’s a little surprising thatDaily Check-inis not a thing inGenshin Impactitself, especially since this feature can be seen in other miHoYo games, likeTears of Themis.
In HoYoLAB, Daily Check-in is meant to reward players participating in the forum community. While most of the rewards are negligible, people can get anextra 60 Primogems every month. A small number, but the grind goes on for F2P players.
Battle Chronicle
Battle Chronicleis likely players' favorite tool in HoYoLAB. With it, people canshare their availableGenshincharacters, constellations, items, and build. For some curious cats, they can even see other players' Spiral Abyss line up. This can be inspiring for those who struggled to reach full stars in the end-game domain.
IfBattle Chronicle isaccessed via the HoYoLAB app, players can even see a live count of theirResinandExpeditionstatus. With this tool, people can easily know when to log in and spend their Resin.
Teyvat Interactive Map
There were many Interactive Maps around, but none was official. The only official map was available in the Chinese BBS. Luckily, after many suggestions, Global HoYoLAB can finally enjoy its ownTeyvat Interactive Map.
As the name suggests, players can easily input the items they’d like to find, and the tool will mark the location on the map.This covers almost everything that can be found inGenshin Impact. It even includes chests, animals, and detailedInvestigation Spots.

Players can sync their in-game pins into their map, or mark some collectibles as obtained (super handy when hunting Oculus). However, as of now, there’s no way to sync in-game progress with the map. So all the marking processes have to be done manually.
Traveler’s Diary
Traveler’s Diaryis one of the newest tools in HoYoLAB. This book keeps a record of players' Primogems and Mora earnings (of the last three months). By looking at it, players can keep an easier track of their currency. This tool won’t consider currency gained via top-up or event prizes, so players can rely on it to predict how much monthly Primogems they can earn from the game.
Enhancement Progression Calculator
The most recent tool released in HoYoLAB is theEnhancement Progression Calculator. This one is extremely handy for resource management. To use it, players simply have to insert the desired character and their level. Afterward, the calculator will show how muchresourcesGenshin Impactplayers will need to upgradethe character.
If players use the HoYoLAB app,the app will sync with in-game progress, so manual input is no longer needed.
Other than characters, this tool will also calculate the needed materials to upgrade a weapon. But as of now, this feature doesn’t sync with in-game progress, even via the HoYoLAB app.
Genshin Impactis now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
