Gameplay Details

1) Start the Quest

➥ Talk to Nazafarin in front of Good Hunter in Mondstadt to start the event. Don’t forget to complete all the eligibility to unlock the event quest first.

➥ There are a total of 7 Fragrant Seasoning recipes that will unlock each day in the first 7 days of the event. Each recipe will need at least 3 different ingredients. All the ingredients needed for this recipe can be found in the wild, and purchased at general stores, Bubu Pharmacy, or via other methods and shops.

2) Create Fragrant Seasonings

➥ When you have all the ingredients, just click on the Cook button to go to the mini-game. In this mini-game, the needle on the slider will move from edge to edge. You need to add the ingredients in the order of the box above the pot by clicking on the spoon button as the needle points to the correct ingredient.
1. Watch the needle slider carefully
2. When it points to the right ingredient
3. Press the spoon button to add the ingredient to the pot

➥ When making seasoning, you can only try 7 times (The remaining attempts can be seen from the small spoon at the bottom of the screen). When the needle hits either end of the slider or if you add the wrong ingredient, you lose one try. This means you must time it correctly and quickly while following the ingredient order displayed at the top of the screen

3) Create Fragrant Dishes

➥ Once you create the Fragrant Seasonings, you can add those seasonings to ‘Delicious’ dishes to obtain ‘Fragrant’ dishes. Invite characters in your Serenitea Pot to try these Fragrant dishes out to increase their Companionship EXP and also receives different reactions from them based on their tastes. You need to use 1x Fragrant Seasoning and 1x Delicious Dish to create a Fragrant Dish (Normal and Suspicious Dishes are not allowed).

4) Give Fragrant Dishes to Companion

➥ This part can only be completed if you had unlocked the Serenitea Pot and completed the Idle Teapot Talk quest to invite characters into your Serenite Pot to try your food. Each character enjoys different foods, so make sure to serve them their favorites to hear their positive responses! When they try your food, their Companionship EXP will increase and you will also complete the event tasks (You can still gain the taste-test rewards if you give dishes to MAX friendship companion).
