How to change World Level in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact players can finally alter their World Level and play at just the right difficulty.

After spending dozens of hours vanquishing foes in the world of Teyvat, I wanted to switch things up and change the level difficulty settings, but I struggled to find that option in the settings. If you've experienced the same problem, here's how to change the world level in Genshin Impact.

How to lower your World Level in Genshin Impact

You can find the option to manually lower your World Level from your Paimon menu. Once your menu is opened, click on the "i" icon beside your current World Level. A text box will pop up detailing what the World Level represents, the max World Level (8), and other information you might not have known about how the World Level impacts your gameplay experience.

When you click Revert World Level, another text box will appear, demonstrating the changes you're about to make. Once you confirm these changes, your World Level will be lowered by one, and the overall difficulty should be much easier.

Here are some handy tips to keep in mind if you'd like to change your World Level:

  • The option to lower the World Level unlocks at World Level 5.
  • You can only change your World Level once every 24 hours.
  • After 24 hours have passed, you can return to your previous World Level if you choose.
  • Your World Level increases the strength of enemies and makes battles more difficult, but it also increases the rewards you earn.

How to unlock world levels in Genshin Impact

To gain access to the Lower/Revert World Level option, you'll need to complete Commissions and all types of Quests, as well as participate in events and enter battles for valuable loot. Once you've gained enough EXP, you'll reach AR40 and unlock World Level 5, as well as the option to change the level difficulty.

If you're persistent, you can go all the way up to AR55 and unlock World Level 8, but to get there, you'll need to complete Ascension Quests 1-4. Roll up your sleeves!
