Character cosmetics are a big part of Genshin Impact’s long-term appeal, and Version 6.3 “Luna IV – A Traveler on a Winter’s Night” is one of the most generous patches yet. Four playable characters—Neuvillette, Yaoyao, Aether, and Lumine—are all receiving new outfits, and they’re tied tightly to the update’s story and events.
Here’s how each skin works, what it’s called, and what you need to do to unlock it.
Neuvillette’s Melusent Gift outfit
Neuvillette’s new skin is a paid cosmetic called Melusent Gift, themed around a present from the Melusines. It follows the same pattern as previous premium outfits for 5-star characters.
Melusent Gift is bought directly with Genesis Crystals, Genshin Impact’s top-up currency. It is treated as a standard shop outfit with a launch discount during Luna IV and a higher price afterward.
| Outfit | Character | Type | Cost during Luna IV | Regular cost (after version) | How to get it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Melusent Gift | Neuvillette | Paid skin (premium) | 1,350 Genesis Crystals | 1,680 Genesis Crystals | Purchase in the Character Outfit Shop |
The pricing mirrors earlier limited-time outfit discounts: the lower 1,350 Genesis Crystal price is available only while Version 6.3 is live, then it returns to a 1,680 Crystal baseline.
Melusent Gift does not involve any quest or event requirement. As long as the outfit is listed in the in-game shop and you have enough Genesis Crystals, you can buy it immediately.
Aether and Lumine’s “As Heaven and Earth Are Made Anew” outfits
The Traveler finally gets full alternate costumes in Luna IV, one for Aether and one for Lumine, grouped under a shared name: “As Heaven and Earth Are Made Anew”. These are free outfits, but they’re locked behind the latest Archon Quest content.
The unlock is tied to the Nod-Krai finale. Version 6.3 adds two more Song of the Welkin Moon acts, and the new costumes are rewarded at the end of the story.
| Outfit | Applies to | Cost | Requirement | Permanent? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| As Heaven and Earth Are Made Anew | Aether or Lumine (your Traveler) | Free | Complete Archon Quest “Song of the Welkin Moon” Act 8: True Moon | Yes, no time limit |
Once you finish True Moon, the outfit unlocks for the Traveler you chose at the start of the game (Aether or Lumine). Future players who reach this point in the story will also be able to claim the costume; there is no event expiry attached to it.
The new outfit does more than just change visuals. It also unlocks an additional talent that buffs the Traveler’s performance across all elements they have resonated with.
Traveler outfit stat buffs and additional talent
Equipping the new Traveler outfit adds a layered stat bonus system. Each element you have unlocked for the Traveler adds a passive buff, scaling with your progress through Teyvat.
| Element resonated | Traveler bonus with new outfit |
|---|---|
| Anemo | Crit Rate +20% |
| Geo | DEF +20% |
| Electro | Energy Recharge +20% |
| Dendro | Elemental Mastery +60 |
| Hydro | HP +20% |
| Pyro | ATK +20% |
| Cryo | Crit DMG +20% |
These bonuses stack as you unlock more elements. For example, a Traveler who has touched every Statue of The Seven up to Snezhnaya eventually carries extra Crit Rate, Crit Damage, HP, ATK, DEF, Energy Recharge, and Elemental Mastery at the same time.
Each element also gains its own extra passive behavior. One Pyro example describes the Traveler building Blade of the Sacred Flame stacks when nearby party members trigger Nighsoul Burst; consuming two stacks with a Charged Attack turns it into a special attack called Inferno that deals higher, Nightsoul-aligned Pyro damage.
The new buffs are deliberately tied to the Nod-Krai endgame and the Traveler’s updated look, so they only activate when the outfit is equipped and Act 8 has been completed.
Yaoyao’s Rainlit Bamboo Reverie outfit
Yaoyao receives a free Lantern Rite-themed costume called Rainlit Bamboo Reverie. Unlike the Traveler’s outfit, this one is attached to a limited-time event but is free to unlock during its run.
| Outfit | Character | Cost | How to unlock during Luna IV | Event availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rainlit Bamboo Reverie | Yaoyao | Free (event reward) | Play “A Lanternlit Ode to the Silver Moon” and earn enough coins in the Moonlit Merriment mini‑game | Jan 30, 2026 – Feb 23, 2026 |
The Rainlit Bamboo Reverie outfit is tied to the broader 2026 Lantern Rite celebration. The key step is the Moonlit Merriment mini‑game, which rewards a special event currency. Collecting enough of these coins unlocks the skin in the event shop or reward track.
There is no published coin threshold in the current information, so treat finishing all Moonlit Merriment challenges as the safest path if you want the outfit.
How to unlock Yaoyao’s outfit during Lantern Rite
Step 1: Log in during the “A Lanternlit Ode to the Silver Moon” event window (January 30 to February 23, 2026) and complete any prerequisite quests needed to access the Lantern Rite activities in Liyue.
Step 2: Enter the Moonlit Merriment mini‑game from the event menu. Clear its challenges as they become available and focus on maximizing the special coin rewards.
Step 3: Once you have enough event coins, claim Rainlit Bamboo Reverie from the relevant Lantern Rite reward menu or shop page before the event ends on February 23, 2026.
Missing the deadline means the free unlock route is gone. Previous event outfits have later re‑appeared as paid shop cosmetics, and Rainlit Bamboo Reverie is likely to follow that long-term pattern, even though the paid route is not detailed here.
How the Luna IV skins fit into Version 6.3’s structure
The four outfits arrive as part of a wider set of changes in Version 6.3:
- The Nod-Krai main story continues with new Archon Quests, culminating in Act 8: True Moon, a confrontation with Il Dottore as a new weekly boss, and a deeper look at the Traveler’s origins beyond Teyvat. The Traveler outfits and their new talent are bound to this narrative milestone.
- The annual Liyue festival returns in a 2026 Lantern Rite focused on Zhanzhu the Moon-Devourer and the White Horse Adeptus, Zibai. Rainlit Bamboo Reverie is one of the core Lantern Rite rewards alongside Primogems, Intertwined Fates, and a free four-star Liyue character.
- Neuvillette’s Melusent Gift is aligned with his Phase 2 rerun banner. The skin is sold at a discount for the length of Luna IV, matching his banner window, then increases in cost afterward.
The result is a split cosmetic strategy across the patch: one pure cash shop skin for a popular 5-star, one heavily incentivized event outfit, and two free permanent costumes that double as a late-game power spike for the Traveler.
If you care about cosmetics more than raw Primogems, Luna IV rewards some specific behavior. Spending money gets you Neuvillette’s Melusent Gift at its lowest price. Clearing current Archon Quests secures a permanent, account-wide upgrade to the Traveler. Playing through the Lantern Rite event window unlocks Yaoyao’s new look without spending anything at all.
