Updated July 29, 2025, by Scott Vengel:Genshin Impactcontinues to add plenty of new features with each update. From temporary events like Windtrace to permanent features like the fishing system, there’s a lot in the game for fans to enjoy while new content is being made. Yet, few have left the same impact that the Serenitea Pot has. For both fans looking to be more creative and fans looking for a new place to hang out with friends, this feature is hugely significant. In honor of the feature’s continued effect on gameplay, this article has been updated to add more polish and clarity on using a friend’s Serenitea Pot.
How To Get The Serenitea Pot
After completing a new quest, andmeeting the newest pyro character, Yanfei, players can access their Serenitea Pots from the inventory. Once unlocked, they canvisit another player’s home by sending a request to enter their Serenitea Pot.
This process is quite simple. If a player wants to visit a friend’s Serenitea Pot realm, they first need to open their friend list and locate the friend. Once found, click on the friend’s avatar on their profile. Then, using the drop-down menu, find and click on the “Request to visit Serenitea Pot” option. Once sent, it will then be up to the receiving friend to either accept or decline the request. If they choose to accept, then the player will be transported into their friend’s Serenitea Pot.
Accepting & Declining Requests
Players do not need to be currently inside theirown Serenitea Potsfor their friends to visit them. In fact, players can preset their realms toautomatically accept or decline requests to join their Serenitea Pots.This function can be found by opening the map for the Serenitea Pot realm. In the upper right corner of the screen, there will be a small icon next to the “close” button. This icon will open a pop-up window. This is the “Guest of the Realm” list.
At the bottom of the list will be the “Serenitea Pot Permissions” drop-down menu. From here, players can choose to set their realms to automatically accept (Allow Direct Join) or decline (Reject Join Requests) requests to enter their homes. Players can always switch back to manual approval by choosing the option to “Join After Approval.”
The Teapot Traveling Salesman
Players who visit other realms will also have the opportunity to check in with Chubby, the Teapot Traveling Salesman. This little spirit can be found in the Serenitea Potbetween Friday and Sunday.He will offer a variety of rare items for players to use to decorate their realms.
Chubby’s shop is not available to anyone besides the Realm’s owner on Fridays, so players should avoid going to a friend’s Serenitea Pot on this day to buy from the traveling spirit. Items will vary in amount depending on a player’s Trust Rank, including a variety of pets and other items in the below chart:
100

Radiant Spincrystal
Theseitems can be bought using Realm currency. Chubby sells a different set of items for each player, so checking in with friends can allow players to see what new and exciting items he has for sale. Chubby’s location will change to one of four in each Realm layout, only spawning in locations unlocked by the player.
Genshin Impactis currently available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5, with a Switch version also in development.
