You can obtain the Artifact Transmuter in Genshin Impact by completing Embattle quests in the Adventurer Handbook. You have to unlock Chapter IV and then obtain 25 5-star artifacts. Since you need to reach Adventure Rank 45 to get 5-star drops in domains, this tool is only for players who have reached the end game.

The Artifact Transmuter in Genshin Impact is a tricky tool that may confuse some players. The main thing about this new feature is that you can now select the main stat and two of the sub-stats of your artifact. To craft one artifact using this tool, you have to spend Sanctifying Elixir.

The Artifact Transmuter menu is divided into two sections:

  • Artifact Definition
  • Artifact Extraction

Artifact Definition lets you make new artifacts, while Artifact Extraction allows you to create Sanctifying Elixirs from your 5-star gear. Note that you cannot shove all artifacts into this machine, it only accepts 5-star gear with level 4 or above.

To create one Sanctifying Elixir, you must feed 100 points worth of artifacts into this machine. The higher the level of the gear you use as a fodder the more points it generates. Not only that the amount of Sanctifying Elixir you require also depends on the type of piece you want to create:

  • Flower of Life & Plume of Death: 1
  • Sands of Eon: 2
  • Circlet of Logos: 3
  • Goblet of Eonothem: 4

Since the trickiest piece with the highest main stat options is the Goblet of Eonothem, you need to make four Sanctifying Elixirs, which requires 400 points. That’s a ton of leveled-up gear that you have to throw away. The Artifact Transmuter is still a useful tool, but this feature is geared toward end-game Genshin Impact players who have a lot of trash artifacts in their inventory.

Genshin Impact is available for Android, iOS, PC, and PlayStation.
