Follow this Genshin Impact walkthrough for Act I: When the West Wind Arises to help Jean with her commissions, talk to Sara and Charles, and complete the quest.

Alright, let's dive into Act I of Jean's Story Quest, "When the West Wind Arises." This one's all about helping Jean out with her mountain of paperwork and commissions. It's a pretty straightforward quest, mostly involving talking to a few people around Mondstadt. You'll need to be Adventure Rank 34 and have a Story Key to unlock it, which you get from completing 8 Daily Commissions. Don't worry if you haven't reached that yet, just keep playing!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Talk to Sara: First things first, head over to the Good Hunter restaurant. You know, the one right next to the Adventurer's Guild? Look for Sara, the owner. She'll explain that she has a commission for Jean but also mentions that Charles at the tavern needs a hand.
  2. 2
    Talk to Charles: Next up, make your way to the Angel's Share tavern. Find Charles and chat with him. He'll ask you to deliver his quarterly tax return forms to Jean. While you're agreeing to help him out, you'll notice Margaret outside, frantically looking for her lost cat. Looks like another task for Jean! After dealing with Margaret (or just noting her down for later), head back to the Knights of Favonius headquarters and go straight to Jean's office.
  3. 3
    Pass the citizens’ commissions on to Jean: When you get to Jean's office, you'll see a cutscene. It really highlights how much Jean is overworking herself. After that, you'll find yourself in the Cathedral, chatting with Barbara. She'll ask if any other Knights can take on Jean's commissions, which is a nice touch showing the team looking out for each other. Once that scene is done, leave the Cathedral.
  4. 4
    Return to the Knights of Favonius headquarters to speak to Jean: As you exit, you'll bump into Kaeya. He'll suggest that you help Jean out with her commissions. This is where the quest branches a bit, giving you three new mini-quests that you can tackle in any order.
Tips
  • Keep an eye on your Adventure Rank and make sure you have a Story Key ready for when you hit AR 34.

  • Adventure EXP: 425
  • Mora: 25,450
