How to Unlock New Realm Layouts

Genshin Impact’s update 1.5 introduced the Serenitea Pot feature that allows players to build and manage their own manors. Aside from personalizing their own space, players can also invite friends to visit or even visit other players’ realms. In this page, we’ll discuss the three different realm layouts, which ones to choose, and how to unlock all of them.

The Serenitea Pot is a housing/dorm system recently implemented in Genshin Impact where players get to personalize their own realms that act as individual and separate dimensions. Of course, it can get very lonely if you’re just customizing your realm so inviting guests over to show off your personalized space or visiting your friends' realms can bring much solace. For more information about how to unlock, access, or leave the pot, please check out our dedicated guide for it.

When you first obtain your own Serenitea Pot, you’ll have to choose one of the three available realm layouts: Cool Isle, Emerald Peak, and Floating Abode. After selecting your realm layout, your manor will be located in the starting location of your realm and you can expand it from there.

Thankfully, you’re not stuck with your chosen realm layout permanently. You’ll still be able to change into a different layout later on but it will take a while. You have to reach Trust Rank 8 to unlock the second realm layout and Trust Rank 10 for the third realm layout.

Each realm layout has locked areas that will become available as you increase your Trust Rank. You’ll unlock the second area of your realm at TR5, another one at TR7, and finally the last area at TR5. The interior of your manor has several individual rooms as well, including a large walkway on the second floor. There are supposedly rooms on the second floor as well but they’re inaccessible at the moment.

Of the three layouts, the Cool Isle is the most spacious in terms of land area. Emerald Peak and Floating Abodes are technically individual land masses on their own, connected only by bridges. Cool Isle and Emerald Peaks have a day/night cycle while the Floating Abode is in perpetual daytime.

Genshin Impact’s Serenitea Pot may not be a thing for all players, but at least it gives avid fans and players something else to do and get occupied. Each realm layout has its own charm and aesthetic that may tickle different players’ fancy. We hope that the information we provided here above the different realm layouts will help you get acquainted with this wonderful feature and design your personal realm as you see fit.
