How to complete the Cogs in the Machine web event in Genshin Impact

Wriothesley’s web event has arrived in Genshin Impact, offering a chance to earn some last-minute Primogems before his upcoming banner! Here’s how to quickly get through this web event and earn your rewards.

“Cogs in the Machine” lasts until October 17, 2023, and awards 40 Primogems as well as some Mystic Enhancement Ores, Mora, and Shivada Jade Fragments. It takes less than five minutes to complete and can be finished in one go; no need to wait for a daily reset.

Access the event

Log in on the official webpage to begin “Cogs in the Machine.” Make sure you’re on the right account since event rewards will be sent straight to your account’s in-game mail.

Proceed with inspections

You control Wriothesley as he inspects the people he comes across. Hold-click on the arrow to the right side of the screen to move him. (The arrow keys don’t seem to work.) He’ll automatically stop in front of the people he needs to inspect.

A magnifying glass icon will appear above the people in question. Click on the icon to start your inspection. You’ll need to click on the correct part of the image before time runs out in order to successfully complete your inspection. There’s no penalty for failing, so you can just try again until you get it. If you just want answers, though, here’s what you need to click for each inspection:

1. Snack Seeker: the wheel on the cart.
2. Theater Lover: the stack of books on the right.
3. Boxing Enthusiast: the open box on the bottom right.
4. Workshop Leader: another open box on the bottom right.

You’ll run out of your ability to perform inspections midway through the event. To do your last two inspections, click the Number of Inspections icon in the bottom left (or just proceed normally until you’re prompted) and complete two tasks. Share the event by copying the link; no need to actually post it anywhere. You can also click away from the YouTube video as soon as it starts playing; no need to watch the whole teaser.

Turn in your paperwork

After your four inspections, proceed until you meet Aeife. Give her the Production Volume and Price List. You can then share the event image (just copy its link again) to obtain a neat Wriothesley wallpaper!
