Liyue Commission Cycle Guide
This builds off my previous posts!
Note: The cycle information is mostly unnecessary after Version 4.4.
The details on how to get each achievement still apply.
First Cycle Length: ~60
Total # of Commission Achievements: 16
1 Cycle Achievements: 16
1 Cycle Achievements
Swordseeker
Quests:
Where is the Unseen Razor? x2-4
This depends on getting the sword hilt version of the quest.
Skipping does not help here! Despite having the same name, these appear to be different quests, not variations of one quest.
Note: You may need a second cycle if you completed these quests in 2.8-3.2, before the new versions were added in 3.3.
To Walk the Horizon...?
Quests:
The Sparrow Studies the Blade x3
The Day the Sword Departs x7
Nothing special needs to be done, just complete the quests in order.
If you have not completed the world quest "Hiromi's Watch" yet, you will need to do so.
This is because Sun Yu leaves Liyue after the events of this commission chain.
Note: You may need a second cycle if you completed these quests in 2.8-3.2, before the new versions were added in 3.3.
Pirates! Argh!
Quests:
Pirate Invasion, in Liyue Harbor! x3
You should get all 3 versions of the quest in one cycle.
Prelude to the Journey
Quests:
Ahoy! A Pirate's Growth for Ye! x1
Troubles Traveling Through Tributaries x1
The Little Pirate Goes Out to Sea x1
These should begin showing up after the previous achievement.
Friends, Travelers, Lend Me Your Ears...
Quests:
Cliffhanger x2
Talk to Gentry Maocai and Jiangzhou.
Once Upon a Time...
Quests:
Cliffhanger x1
Talk to Fan Er'ye.
Geo Archon Anecdotes
Quests:

Turn in 1 of each category: Glaze Lily, Cooked Food, Plants, Ores.
Love is All Around (Skippable)
Quests:
Good Sign x2
Find 5 signs of love: Leaves, the Cat and Fish, Dogs, Birds, and Granny Shan.
You can skip the commission for different signs.
Note: Done normally, this may be mutually exclusive in 1 cycle with Open to Interpretation.
Open to Interpretation (Skippable)
Quests:
Good Sign x3
Ruin 4 signs of love: Leaves, the Cat and Fish, Dogs, and Birds.
You can skip the commission for different signs.
Note: Done normally, this may be mutually exclusive in 1 cycle with Love is All Around.
Poet Vs. Paycheck
Quests:
One Ship, Two Ships, Three Ships... x1
So-Called Work x1
Give the wrong answer! You will receive the followup commission only after answering incorrectly.
Beginner's Luck (Skippable)
Quests:
Diamond in the Rough... x1
Guess the jackpot on your first try.
If you don't guess it first, you can skip the commission for another chance.
This Novel Is Amazing!
Quests:
This Novel Is Amazing! x1
Read the transcript before you deliver it to Xu.
Note: This Novel Is Amazing! leads to For Old Time's Sake after 3 completions.
The 4.4 cycle boost is tied to the achievement This Novel Is Amazing! and not the next one, All's Well That Ends Well.
That means you should wait to receive This Novel Is Amazing! until after 3 completions.
Otherwise, you will not benefit from the cycle boost for 2 out of the 3 needed.
Level Up
Quests:
Stairway to Wangshu x2
No special actions needed.
A Nourishing Friendship
Quests:
Fishing Jiangxue x1
Yanxiao's Dilemma x1
No special actions needed.
Scholarly Pretensions
Quests:
The Lost Relic x1-3
A Little Raid x1
No special actions needed.
A Little Raid is triggered after the box of gadgets version of The Lost Relic is completed.
Skipping does not help here, as the 3 versions of The Lost Relic are different quests, not variations.
All's Well That Ends Well
Quests:
For Old Time's Sake x1
No special actions needed.
This quest is unlocked after completing This Novel Is Amazing! x3 along with these 3 world quests:
- The Chi of Yore
- Will of Stone
- Book in the Woods
Notes
One Ship, Two Ships, Three Ships...
If you already have the achievement, answer correctly!
In theory, since So-Called Work is an emergency followup commission, it's possible it won't occupy an NPC slot.
However, it's best to be safe.

Pirate Invasion, in Liyue Harbor! x3
