Genshin Impact NatLAN Leaks: AR Level 58; World Level 9
New leaks regarding Natlan in Genshin Impact imply that the world level of the game will rise to level 9, thus players will have to reach a particular Adventure Rank (AR) level to access it. This new world level will bring the toughest form of opponent across most game activities, so influencing the gameplay experience for players.
Global Level Genshin Impact: Advantages & Challenges
World levels in Genshin Impact define enemy difficulty and the nature of rewards players get. Though they offer better rewards—such as assured 5-star loot from some encounters—higher world levels usually mean tougher battles. While at World Level 8 regular bosses drop a guaranteed 5-star artifact, players at World Level 7 get two guaranteed 5-star Character Level-Up Materials from weekly bosses.
AR 58: World Level 9 Genshin Impact Requirement
Leaks from Plum Team indicate that players will have to reach AR 58 to access the allegedly World Level 9 in Genshin Impact. The leak implies that either as part of the first fix or in a later update, the new world level could be included following Version 5.0. Although this material is not verified, it offers understanding of the possible developments approaching Genshin Impact.
Effect of World Level 9 on Gameplay of Genshin Impact
Level Increase in Enemy Territory
The most instantaneous effect of World Level 9 would probably be higher enemy levels. At World Level 8, enemy levels run from 76 to 98 right now. Enemy levels pushed into and maybe beyond level 100 could be seen at World Level 9. Furthermore raised from 93/94 to 95/96 or even higher are world boss levels.
Enhanced Farming and Loot Drops
Apart from the higher enemy count, World Level 9 could enhance loot drops. Although the particular specifics are unknown, the rise in world level might lead to a change in the drop rates for boss materials or artifacts. Farming in Genshin Impact is difficult right now because of the ambiguity about the quantity of boss materials per challenge. Often in order to get the necessary supplies, players must repeatedly defeat the same boss. By raising the possible quantity of materials dropped per contact or even by using a set drop rate, like Honkai: Star Rail, World Level 9 could help to improve this.
Comparatively to Honkai: Star Rail Farming
Five boss materials' fixed drop in Honkai: Star Rail results in farming far less punishment than in Genshin Impact. Applying this system to Genshin Impact with World Level 9 might help to greatly enhance players' farming experience. Many times, the present resin system in Genshin Impact is attacked for being overly limited. The allegedly World Level 9 might provide this system with a much-needed enhancement.
Potential Difficulties & Issues:
Although World Level 9 presents possible advantages, it could also be carried out without any extra benefits for players, so raising the degree of enemy encounter. If this is the case, it could be seen as a means of leveling the playing field for gamers who have developed strong characters and are now confronting little difficulty in the overworld.
Value of Leaks Driven from a Grain of Salt
Remember also that these leaks are subject to change and are unverified. Hoyoverse has not formally revealed any specifics regarding World Level 9, thus players should view this material with some suspicion. As the beta testing go, more details on Natlan and Version 5.0 will probably be leaked.
