In the ever-evolving world of Teyvat, where the winds of adventure never cease to blow, a new ripple of joy has emerged from the Hydro Nation. As 2026 unfolds, the beloved Melusines, Aeval and Elphane, have once again unfurled their charming survey, casting a net of whimsy across the traveler community. These Fontainian aquabus tour guides, with hearts as deep as the ocean and smiles as bright as Fontaine's cascading waters, are on a mission—not just to guide tours, but to capture the very essence of a traveler's heart. It's a little event, sure, but boy, does it pack a punch of personality and prizes!

A Simple Gesture, A World of Wonder

Participating in this delightful escapade is a breeze—no battling Ruin Guards or deciphering ancient texts required. Aeval and Elphane, ever the curious souls, have crafted a survey that feels more like a heart-to-heart chat than a questionnaire. With just four playful multiple-choice questions, they invite every traveler to share a slice of their Teyvat journey. It's their way of saying, 'Hey, tell us about your adventures!' and honestly, who could resist those earnest, sparkling eyes? The process is as smooth as sailing on a calm sea: answer the questions, submit your thoughts, and voilà—you're not just helping with 'important Fontainian research,' you're also unlocking a treasure trove of rewards. It's a win-win, really.

The Questions That Whisper of Adventures

The survey itself is a poetic glimpse into a traveler's soul. Each question is a tiny window into the choices that define one's path across nations:

1. The Crystalfly's Dance: 'When you discover a Crystalfly, which of the following do you prefer to capture it with?' The options—Crystalfly Trap, Omni-Ubiquity Net, or Kamera—speak to whether one is a collector, a strategist, or a poet at heart, wishing to freeze a moment of beauty forever.

2. A Gift Across the Miles: 'If you'd like to send a gift to a faraway friend, which of the following would you choose?' Would it be the alchemical wonder of a Parametric Transformer, the fleeting freedom of a Dandelion Seed, or the vibrant blooms of Viparyas or Romaritime Flower? Each choice is a letter written in the language of Teyvat.

3. A Traveler's Dream Destination: 'Which of the following scenic spots would you want to visit?' The bustling docks of Liyue Harbor, the sacred serenity of the Grand Narukami Shrine, the dramatic grandeur of the Opera Epiclese, or the timeless tranquility of Windrise—each locale holds a different promise for the weary wanderer.

4. The Test of Mettle: 'If you had to fight one of the following, which would you choose?' From the humble Hilichurl to the sinister Abyss Mages, the cunning Fatui, or the legendary dragon Azhdaha... this question isn't about strength, but about the nature of the challenge one seeks. It's a fun little thought experiment that makes you go, 'Hmm, let me think...'

The magic, as Aeval and Elphane would cheerfully remind you, is that there are no wrong answers. Every choice is valid, every preference a story. And for sharing that story, every traveler is graciously rewarded with 40 Primogems—a sparkling thank you note from Fontaine.

Beyond the Primogems: A Cascade of Rewards

But the generosity of the Melusines doesn't stop at the glittering gems. Upon completing the survey, a personalized Blessing Card is bestowed upon the traveler, a memento of their unique choices. With a click on 'Claim Rewards,' more in-game goodies flow into one's inventory, making the effort feel wonderfully worthwhile. It's like finding an unexpected chest after a long climb.

A Sprinkle of Fortune: The Social Raffle

For those feeling particularly lucky, the event offers a chance to dive into deeper waters. By sharing one's Blessing Card on social media with the hashtag #GenshinMelusinesSurvey, travelers enter a special raffle for even grander prizes. The stakes? They're enough to make any adventurer's heart skip a beat:

A quick note from the organizers: sharing on HoYoLAB won't count for this draw. The window for this extra bit of fortune is fleeting, with the event concluding and the raffle winners announced shortly after. It’s a gentle nudge to seize the day, or in this case, the survey.

The Heartbeat of the Community

The true success of the Melusines' Survey, however, isn't just measured in Primogems or prizes. It lives in the vibrant buzz it has created across the traveler community. From forum threads to fan art, players are not just answering questions; they're sharing stories, debating choices, and celebrating the simple joy of connecting with these beloved characters. Some proudly declare they'd answer anything for Aeval and Elphane, while others meticulously analyze each option. This event has become a quiet, shared moment of reflection in the midst of epic quests—a reminder that sometimes, the most memorable parts of the journey are the small conversations along the way.

In the grand tapestry of Teyvat, the Melusines' Survey is a single, beautifully embroidered thread. It speaks of a world that cares for its travelers, of characters who remember their friends, and of adventures that are as much about the heart as they are about heroism. For Aeval and Elphane, and for every traveler who takes part, it's a little piece of magic, floating gently on Fontaine's waters.
