What to know

• Auspicious Treasure Trees are overworld event objects tied to Lantern Rite 2026’s “Bright Moon, Lantern Glow” activity.

In Genshin Impact, this objective fits into Lantern Rite 2026’s quick scavenger-hunt loop in Liyue Harbor: spot the target decoration, remove it, collect currency, and move on to the next point. Because the trees are placed among other festival props, the main “difficulty” is usually visibility rather than combat or puzzles.

How Auspicious Treasure Trees work in Lantern Rite 2026

Auspicious Treasure Trees are event decorations placed around Liyue Harbor as part of the “Bright Moon, Lantern Glow” activity. Pruning is essentially “clearing” the decoration: a few Normal Attacks will remove it, and the drop appears immediately after it vanishes.

In practice, this means there’s no special element requirement, no time limit, and no particular character restriction—just get close enough that attacks connect and the tree registers as pruned.

Where “nearby” usually points in Liyue Harbor

“Nearby” almost always means within a short sprint of the current marker/area, typically along the main walkways where NPCs and stalls cluster. Trees commonly appear near high-traffic landmarks such as stairs, kiosks, vendor rows, and dockside paths, so sweeping those routes first tends to be fastest.

If the decoration blends into the background, Elemental Sight is the quickest way to make interactables stand out without having to scan every lantern and prop.

Where Fortune Coins are used

Fortune Coins are used for Lantern Rite redemptions, including spending them through the event shop NPC Pingxi in Liyue Harbor and/or the event’s redemption interfaces. In Lantern Rite, these redemptions typically include a mix of cosmetic/event items and milestone rewards tied to overall progress, so consistently collecting coins helps avoid last-minute grinding.

If a redemption is locked, it’s usually gated behind overall event progress (completing enough activities) rather than anything specific to a single tree.

How to find and prune the Auspicious Treasure Tree nearby

Step 1

Locate the nearby Auspicious Treasure Tree within Liyue Harbor (they are all placed inside the harbor).

Step 2

Use Elemental Sight to help spot the interactable tree decoration if it blends into surrounding festival props.

Step 3

Approach the tree and use Normal Attacks to prune it until it disappears.

Step 4

Collect the Fortune Coins dropped by the tree after it vanishes.

Known tree placements in Liyue Harbor (examples)

Across the event, the 21 fixed placements are spread around familiar Liyue Harbor hotspots—near bulletin boards, the Adventurers’ Guild area, pharmacy-adjacent paths, kiosk corners, and dock approaches. When a specific “nearby” objective feels unclear, it often helps to rotate the camera upward and outward, because some decorations sit just off the direct path or slightly behind props.

A reliable pattern is that the trees are positioned where players naturally run during errands: intersections, staircase landings, and vendor-lined stretches.

Next steps after pruning the tree

After collecting the Fortune Coins, continue to the next nearby objective in the “Bright Moon, Lantern Glow” activity or go spend currency once enough has been collected. Since all trees are located within Liyue Harbor, staying inside the harbor and moving between dense landmark clusters is the most efficient route.

This objective is designed to be quick: locate the nearby tree decoration in Liyue Harbor, prune it with Normal Attacks, and pick up the Fortune Coins. If it doesn’t seem to register, reposition slightly and attack again—sometimes the hitbox is easier to connect with from the side.
