The Fantastic Compass in Genshin Impact showed up during the Perilous Trail content in Version 2.7 , which released in June 2022. The puzzle walkthroughs for that quest were published on June 2ā€“6, 2022, matching that update window.

Quick Scoop

If you meant the in-game puzzle compass from the ā€œEnd of the Lineā€ / ā€œRealm of Snaring Illusionsā€ section, thatā€™s the one added with the 2.7 questline in 2022.

If you meant a different ā€œcompassā€ item, Genshin has also had later Treasure Compass updates in more recent versions, but the classic quest Fantastic Compass is the 2022 one.

TL;DR

  • Fantastic Compass: June 2022, with Version 2.7 / Perilous Trail.
  • Treasure Compass system updates: later QoL upgrades in 2025 and 2026.
