Summary:
- The Instructor artifact set is an affordable, easy-to-farm option that gives strong EM bonuses.
- The fastest way to farm the set is by defeating World and Weekly Bosses, which have the highest drop rates.
- The set works best on support characters who trigger reactions
Combat in Genshin Impact becomes much more fun when you trigger elemental reactions like Melt, Bloom, or Lunar-Charged. Many teams depend on the Elemental Mastery (EM) stat to boost these reactions. Most 5-star artifact sets can give a lot of EM directly or through their passive effects. But the Genshin Impact Instructor artifact set is a cheaper and easier option that still works very well for EM-focused teams. Here’s how you can farm it efficiently.
Why the Instructor Set Is So Useful
The Instructor set is popular because of its strong team buff:
- 2-piece bonus: +80 Elemental Mastery
- 4-piece bonus: When you trigger an Elemental Reaction, all party members gain +120 Elemental Mastery for 8 seconds.
This makes the set perfect for supports who constantly trigger reactions. It works well in any team that rely on elemental reactions for more damage. Also, you don’t even need great stats. As long as you have a full 4-piece set, the bonus will work.
Farm World and Weekly Bosses
There is no artifact domain in Genshin Impact dedicated to the Instructor artifact set. The quickest and most reliable way to get Instructor pieces is by defeating World Bosses and Weekly Bosses. These enemies have the highest chance of dropping low-rarity artifacts, including this set.
Recommended Bosses
- Stormterror
- Childe
- Azhdaha
- Raiden Shogun
- Any Hypostasis
- Any Regisvine
- Golden Wolflord
- Jadeplume Terrorshroom
Weekly bosses only allow a few discounted fights per week, but their drop rate is good. World bosses can be repeated as long as you have resin. So, when you go to farm for your characters’ boss materials, make sure to check if there are Instructor pieces dropped as well.
Fight Elite Enemies
If you want to save resin, you can farm the set by defeating elite enemies. All enemies of this type can drop low-rarity artifacts, including Instructor pieces.
Good Elite Enemies to Target
- Ruin Guards, Hunters, and Graders
- Abyss Mages
- Primal Constructs
- Consecrated Beasts
- Fatui Operatives
This method is slower compared to boss farming, but it’s free. You can also use your Adventurer’s Handbook to track enemies and create a route to defeat many in one run.
Open Treasure Chests While Exploring
Another way to get the Genshin Impact Instructor artifact set is by opening treasure chests in the world. All chest types can drop Instructor pieces, although the chances vary.
Chest Drop Chances
- Luxurious Chests: Best chance
- Precious Chests: Good chance
- Exquisite Chests: Low chance
- Common Chests: Very low chance
This method takes time but is completely resin-free. It also gives Primogems, Mora, and other rewards, making it a good option if you want to explore. You can use the regions’ Treasure Compasses to locate chests quicker.
Best Characters for Instructor Set
You get the most benefit from the set when you equip it on support characters who actively trigger reactions. Good options include:
Team Setup
- Sucrose
- Mona
- Kazuha (early game)
- Bennett
- Fischl
- Xiangling
- Anemo Traveler
- Kirara
- Kuki Shinobu
Do not use this set on main DPS units, since they need stronger 5-star artifacts with offensive stats.
Conclusion
Farming the Genshin Impact Instructor artifact set can feel random, but it becomes much faster if you focus on bosses, elite enemies, and treasure chests. Because the set does not require perfect rolls, you can build a useful support setup very quickly. Want a simple, low-investment artifact set that greatly boosts reaction damage? The Instructor set is one of the best options in the entire game.
