Genshin Impact: How to recharge the Wind catcher

Last Updated on: 21st November 2021, 08:28 pm

The wind catcher is a useful gadget in Genshin Impact that creates a short term gliding air spot, but how do you recharge it?

How do you recharge the Wind catcher in Genshin Impact?

First, the Wind catcher, for those not familiar, is a small gadget that can hold up to 5 charges at a time. It creates a burst of air that lets you glide from the ground – this can be really useful for grabbing collectibles, skipping some puzzle sections and just generally getting around quicker.

The item description is shown below.

Now, to recharge this thing, you’ll need it equipped as your gadget first. To do this, head to the gadget menu, click it, and press equip in the bottom corner. Not a terribly complex process.

With that done, you now need to find some of the small air spirits that combine to make wind gusts when you collect all 3 of them in their area.

Picking these up with the Wind catcher equipped will recharge your gadget by 1 use each time, so if you can find a batch of these, that’ll net you 3 recharges right away typically, and you can always wait a moment for them to respawn and then do it again for a full recharge.

That’s it for how to recharge the wind catcher – its a very simple process, simply not the most obvious though.

If you’d be interested in more, you can find it in our Genshin Impact section here, and you can find more articles written by me specifically on my author page.

And if you haven’t tried Genshin Impact yet, you can play the game for free on mobile devices including Android and iOS alongside consoles such as Playstation 4, Playstation 5 and Pc on both miHoYo’s official launcher and Epic Games Store. A Nintendo Switch version is stated to be in development.
