You can even earn a free 4-star Liyue character of your choice turning the event.

Flameplume Starflowers

The firework smelting challenge

The Flameplume Starflowers section of the event revolves around prepping for the firework show in Liyue Harbor and in creating your own fireworks. This section is split into three parts, with each part having you complete a short quest followed by smelting some fireworks. The subsequent parts are time-gated and will unlock later during the event.

In part one, you will be given the task of speaking with a few different characters, with the ultimate goal of helping Keqing prepare the fireworks display. After completing the quest, players will be given the Launch Tube, a gadget that can be placed on the ground and used to smelt fireworks. In the smelting menu there is a series of different fireworks that will need to be smelted. Each firework has three categories, color, size, and height. Each firework will require a different amount of smelting progress to be made in each category.

You will get to select different smelting techniques, which will use various amounts of stamina and will affect how much the bar increases when used. The goal is to the Ideal Zone located on each of the three bars, which will award the highest amount of points. Achieving a perfect score on each firework will award the maximum amount of rewards. Fireworks can be smelted multiple times, but each tier of rewards can only be achieved once per firework. The Flameplume Starflowers challenges award the Affluence Talisman.

The Great Gathering

The Great Gathering section of the event revolves around Beidou searching the ocean for valuable items lost when the original Jade Palace crashed. After a short tutorial quest setting up a story revolving around the Treasure Hunters also collecting the valuable, players will be tasked with multiple challenges. The challenges revolve around using the Waverider boat to collect floating items in the water and attacking bandit camps to take treasure from there too.

After completing the first set of challenges, players will unlock time trials where they must follow a supply balloon and attempt to destroy it with the Waverider. There are Treasure Hunters in the path of the balloon along with explosive barrels. The purpose of the challenge is to earn points by destroying the supply balloon as quickly as possible. Bonus points are awarded for defeating Treasure Hunters. Players will need to earn at least 3,000 points on each challenge to earn the maximum amount of rewards.

One of the simpler parts of the Fleeting Colors event, the Wondrous Shadows section involves a series of shadow puzzles. The quest and the puzzle challenges can be found by speaking with Yuan Rong on the Liyue Harbor docks. Each puzzle involves rotating an item until the shadow of the object clearly shows something specific. For example, one puzzle involves making the shape of Beidou’s ship. There is a meter in the bottom right corner that shows your progress and will either fill up or empty depending on if you are making the right moves. There is a two minute timer for completing the puzzles and the rewards are given regardless of how long it takes to complete it.
