Players around the globe seem to have taken quite a liking to miHoYo's new open world gacha game, Genshin Impact. With many unique and powerful fantasy characters to collect and a map comparable to Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Genshin Impact has caused many players to sink countless hours (and money) in the game since it released on September 28.

Updated May 29, 2021 by Mina Smith: With every update, Genshin Impact brings players more to do, more places to explore, and more characters to unlock. This means that guides written previously may require updating to keep information up-to-date. More images have also been added to make it even easier to find these two very important shops.

With so many hours invested, players have likely already managed to hit the first character level roadblock of level 20. To raise the level cap for these characters and participate in high-level encounters with friends, players will need to acquire materials in order to Ascend them and continue this grind. And the best way for Genshin Impact players to acquire these Ascension materials will be to visit the Souvenir Shop in either Monstadt or Liyue.

Souvenir Shops in Genshin Impact differ from normal shops within the game. While most shops will accept Mora, the in-game currency, in exchange for the goods that players want to purchase, Souvenir Shops require players to exchange the Sigils from the domain they are currently in. This means that players in the historic city of Monstadt will need Anemo Sigils to buy materials, while players in Liyue will need Geo Sigils. These Sigils are easily found just by exploring or completing challenges within the various domains of Genshin Impact.

Finding Genshin Impact's Souvenir Shops within the two hub areas is actually easier than players might expect. When looking at the map, players will be able to locate a Souvenir Shop by finding an icon with a gem on it. Simply teleport to the town of choice and look for the icon on the map or wander the bustling streets of the towns looking for Marjorie or Xingxi with the same gem icon above their heads.

Run by Marjorie, the Mondstadt's souvenir shop is called "With Wind Comes Glory." It is located in eastern Mondstadt, and it sells items in exchange for Anemo sigils. The items for sale are:

• Agnidus Agate Sliver
• Varunada Lazurite Sliver
• Vayuda Turquoise Sliver
• Shivada Jade Sliver
• Prithiva Topaz Sliver
• Vajrada Amethyst Sliver
• Tile of Decarabian's Tower
• Boreal Wolf's Milk Tooth
• Fetters of the Dandelion Gladiator
• Memory of Roving Gales
• Northlander Sword Billet
• Mora

This shop is run by Xingxi, and it is called Mingxing Jewelry. It is located in the heart of Liyue. This shop will take Geo sigils in exchange for:

• Agnidus Agate Sliver
• Varunada Lazurite Sliver
• Vayuda Turquoise Sliver
• Shivada Jade Sliver
• Prithiva Topaz Sliver
• Vajrada Amethyst Sliver
• Luminous Sands from Guyun
• Mist Veiled Lead
• Grain of Aerosiderite
• Memory of Immovable Crystals
• Northlander Bow Billet
• Northlander Claymore Billet
• Northlander Catalyst Billet
• Northlander Polearm Billet
• Genshin Impact's in-game currency Mora

It's important to note that while the Souvenir Shops will trade the items like the various Silvers needed to Ascend characters, they have a limited stock. . Interestingly enough, the Souvenir Shops in both towns allow players to exchange their Sigils for Mora and unlimited amount of times. So if players are Sigil rich and Mora poor, they should consider a visit to the Souvenir store.

Genshin Impact is available now on mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5.
