Based on the livestream, players will be able to purchase the Opulent Splendor Keqing skin through the Character Outfits section of the Genesis Crystal Shop. The outfit is expected to go on sale during the event period and will remain purchasable without discount after its end. If you don't currently own Keqing, don't worry, you can take advantage of the sale by pre-purchasing the outfit to equip once you finally get it.
The exact price and unlock conditions for the Opulent Splendor are currently unknown. However, based on Jean's skin release during the Golden Apple Archipelago event, Keqing's skin may cost a discounted price of 1 Genesis Crystals and a regular price of 350 Genesis Crystals. This price is currently just speculation, so take it with a grain of salt.
Genesis Crystals can be obtained through the Crystal Top-Up section of the store for real money. Purchasing Welkin's Moon's Blessing will also give you 300 Genesis Crystals per instance.
Participating in the Lantern Rite event will earn you a free four star (including Yun Jin!) after completing a series of quests and missions. In preparation, check out our guide on the best Yun Jin build in Genshin Impact.
