One of Genshin Impact’s staple events that returns on a fairly regular basis is Lost Riches, which offers you the opportunity to claim one of the best event rewards in all of Teyvat.
Even though the Lost Riches event is a semi-regular occurrence, each run of this event looks a bit different from the last, which means you might be confused on how to complete the Lost Riches 2024 event in Patch 4.3.

How to complete Lost Riches in Genshin Impact 4.3
To complete the Lost Riches event, you first need to talk with Ulman, who is hanging out near the water to the west of the Court of Fontaine region. Once you talk with him, you obtain a special Treasure-Seeking Seelie you can then use to find lost treasure.
With the Treasure-Seeking Seelie equipped, you then need to visit each treasure area Ulman assigns to uncover lost riches. This event started on Jan. 2 and another location to visit unlocks each day up until Jan. 7, 2024, for a total of six locations.

How to search for treasures in Lost Riches in Genshin Impact
Once you are at any of the six treasure areas, you can use the Treasure-Seeking Seelie to find treasure. Before you can dig any up, you have to find three energy for the Seelie.
The energy is displayed as a spiral-like circular white icon on your mini-map that kind of looks like candy. When you actually find it, this energy is a swirling mass that looks kind of similar to Pneuma and Ousia. In some areas, the energy might be locked away and require some Xenochromatic abilities to unlock.
Once you have three energy, a shovel icon will appear on your map to lead you to the treasure location where you can then claim your Ancient Iron Coins. Some treasure areas have more than one treasure spot to be found, which means you may have to repeat this process a few times in some spots but only once in others.
How to get a Mini Seelie in Lost Riches in Genshin Impact
To obtain your own Mini Seelie from this event, you need to complete all six treasure areas and then spend 160 Ancient Iron Coins to buy one. You can earn this much from just two days of the event, but the Mini Seelie reward isn’t available to purchase until after all six treasure areas have been finished.

If you’re debating whether or not to tackle this event, it is absolutely worth doing. It requires very minimal effort and grants you one of the most unique rewards in all of Teyvat, which is the floating Mini-Seelie compansion.
Participating in this event each time it returns allows you to claim additional Mini Seelie. As of the 2024 event, I have two different ones and will claim my third from this one as all players are allowed to add one new one to their collection each time.
