Overview |
The Serenitea Pot or Realm Within (colloquially also known as Teapot, Housing, Homeland, or Player Housing) is a system in Genshin Impact that allows the player to create their own home. Players interact with the system using a gadget of the same name.
Players can request to visit their friend's Serenitea Pot in Co-Op Mode regardless of the World Level. Inside, the player will be greeted by the Teapot Spirit Tubby, who will provide access to various features of Housing.
How to Access
After reaching Adventure Rank 28 and completing the Archon Quest, Chapter I Act III: A New Star Approaches, the quest A Teapot to Call Home will be unlocked. Complete this quest to obtain the Serenitea Pot.
Place the Serenitea Pot gadget on a valid surface and interact with it to enter the teapot. If a Sub-Space Waypoint is placed inside the realm, they can be teleported to via the Serenitea Pot Map Tab. While inside the teapot, placing and interacting with the Serenitea Pot gadget or teleporting to a Teleport Waypoint will exit the teapot.
If the player logs out while inside the Serenitea Pot and then logs back in, they will be placed at the location in Teyvat where they entered the Serenitea Pot. Note that certain Gadgets like the Parametric Transformer cannot be used while inside the Serenitea Pot (see Errors).
Realm Layouts
Furnishings
In the realm, the player can place buildings, geological features, furniture, decorations, plants, animals, and more according to their liking. These furnishings can be obtained from increasing Trust Rank, completing the Adeptal Mirror, participating in events and world quests, and exchanging Realm Currency from the Realm Depot or Teapot Traveling Salesman.
After obtaining and learning Furnishing Blueprints, the player can interact with the Teapot Spirit Tubby to craft furnishings. The furnishing materials are obtained by cutting down trees, collecting ore and plants, and crafting fabric and dye via Tubby's crafting menu.
Furnishing Sets
Furnishing Sets are groups of furnishings that can be placed in a set arrangement. Furnishing Set Blueprints can be obtained from Adeptal Mirror, Trust Rank, and Realm Depot. Gift Sets are special Furnishing Sets that can have Companions invited to them for special dialogue and rewards.
The Create Set button in Furnishing Placement screen can be used to select multiple pieces of Furnishings and combined to create a custom set of up to 99 furnishings. These custom sets can be moved and stored for quick placement of multiple Furnishings.
Companions
After completing the World Quest "Idle Teapot Talk", the player can invite their playable characters to live in their Serenitea Pot.
The player can host up to 8 of their own Characters in the realm after achieving the highest Trust Rank. While in the realm, characters will generate Companionship EXP over time known as Realm Bounty. This is indicated by a gift with a purple gauge meter. The higher the Adeptal Energy Rank, the more Companionship EXP is generated overtime. Players can also interact with characters hosted in the realm.
Some characters have furniture sets that they favor. When invited into these sets, the specified characters will have a special dialogue and gift some one-time rewards. Characters placed within the Realm can be invited to their Gift Set without moving them in the Furnishing Placement menu.
Like Animals and Furnishings, Characters will be counted towards the total load of the area they are placed in.
Load (Furnishing Capacity)
"Load", also known as "Furnishing Capacity", is an indicator used to tell the player how many more furnishings they can place. Each furnishing has its own load, with large buildings taking up more load than smaller objects. Due to their need for animations and pathing, animals and characters use relatively high load compared to other furnishings. Many Interactible Furnishings also take up a lot of load.
Load currently uses a traffic-light system, with green telling the player they can still place many more furnishings, orange indicating that they are running out of space, and red indicating that space is very limited, or that they have already reached the max-capacity.
Adeptal Mirror
The Adeptal Mirror includes missions that give Furnishing Blueprints and Furnishings. It works similarly to the Adventurer Handbook.
Trust Rank
Trust Rank is increased by obtaining 
Trust from creating each Furnishing for the first time.

Realm Depot
The Realm Depot is shop where Realm Currency is used to purchase items, furnishings, and furnishing blueprints.
Teapot Traveling Salesman
Chubby (aka Teapot Traveling Salesman) is a teapot spirit that visits the Traveler's realm every Friday daily reset. The Teapot Traveling Salesman will bring some novel furnishings every week to exchange with Realm Currency, and the Furnishing Blueprints they bring to each Traveler will be different.
Travelers and friends share the number of times they can redeem furnishings at the Travel Depot.
Visit Times
The Traveling Salesman can be found on the map by looking for a teapot icon with a yellow symbol inside
From 4:00 AM every Friday to 4:00 AM on the Monday of the next week, the Teapot Traveling Salesman will visit your realm, bringing precious wares and rare treasures.
From 4:00 AM every Saturday to 4:00 AM on the Monday of the next week, you can also visit other player's realms to exchange with the Traveling Salesman.
Traveling Depot
The Serenitea Pot shop menu can be accessed by speaking to Chubby. The furnishings available in the shop varies and the number of items depends on the player's Trust Rank when Chubby arrives for the weekend. The possible items include:

Dialogue
- Chubby: The one before you is known as Jade Seeker. One travels far and wide, seeking naught but to witness all of the treasures this world has to offer...
What do you sell here?
- Chubby: Ahh... encounters with fine treasures cannot be forced. This is something that only fate may decide.
- (Opens Traveling Depot shop)
- Goodbye.
- Chubby: To gain that which you treasure is a blessing indeed — but do not be aggrieved should fate deny you the object of your desire.
What do you sell here?
Goodbye.
- (In someone else's Serenitea Pot)
- Observe: (Seems we have ourselves another teapot spirit...)
Co-Op Mode
To visit a Friends' Serenitea Pot, head to the Paimon Menu and go to Friends. Under the Friend's profile avatar, select the option to visit their Serenitea Pot. Players can visit a Friends' Serenitea Pot regardless of their World Level.
Visiting others' Serenitea Pots to buy from their Traveling Salesman is required to advance in the Adeptal Mirror and complete Battle Pass Missions, when any player buys an item from the Traveling Salesman, that item will become unavailable to everyone else during that weekened.
A guest is able to speed up the Creation of Furnishings for their friends by heading to Tubby and activating the Guest Assistance. This will reduce the creation time by 4 hours max. One friend may only speed up one Creation per day, but it's possible to help multiple different friends in one day.
Guests cannot edit the realm of the host in any way and the host cannot edit their own realm while another player is present. Guests may enter the Mansion and interact with any furniture the host has placed (such as crafting by using an Alchemist's Crafting Bench or sitting on any chair/sofa). In the case of Companions, the guest is only able to see the idle dialogue on top of their models. When interacting with Tubby, the guest can only choose to activate the Guest Assistance or cancel the dialogue.
While inside your own Serenitea Pot, opening the Map and switching the option at the top right to Allow Direct Join allows your Friends to join even if you are offline, speeding up the Furnishings is still possible to be done if the host is offline. This setting is independent from world permissions.

Trivia
- In Chinese, the Serenitea Pot is called 尘歌壶 Chén'gē Hú, "Ode-of-Dust Teapot". 尘歌 Chén'gē, "Ode of Dust" is an anagram of 歌尘 Gēchén, "Dust of Ode". The word 壶 Hú means pot.
- 歌尘 Gēchén, "Dust of Ode" refers to the sound of singing and is also used in Madame Ping's adeptus name in Chinese, 歌尘浪市真君 Gēchén Làngshì Zhēnjūn, "Streetward Rambler", lit. "The Perfected Lord Who Sings about the Mortal World and Roams amongst the People".
- In English and other languages such as Portuguese, Spanish, and French, this gadget's name involves wordplay on the word for "tea" or "teapot" and a word with a meaning along the lines of "serenity" or "relaxing oneself."
- The Serenitea Pot shares many things in common with Honkai Impact 3rd's Dorm feature:
- Both allow you to invite obtained characters and place them where they are interactable.
- Both allow you to obtain and make furniture.
- Both generate rewards for completing certain missions.
- Both have a currency that regenerates over time, "Energy" (Dorm) and "Realm Currency" (Serenitea Pot).
- Both start by having one to two zones unlocked and progressively unlocking more zones the more you progress in the system.
- Both have a metric for measuring the atmosphere of the place, "Adeptal Energy" (Serenitea Pot) and "Comfort" (Dorm).
- The key differences between Serenitea Pot and Dorm are in both scale and perspective. Honkai's Dorm has a much smaller scale than Genshin's Serenitea Pot, even replacing full-model characters with their chibi versions.
