Now that Update 1.1 has arrived on Genshin Impact's servers and the brand new reputation system as well as new quests are available, you may have noticed that some of the content is not accessible to you without to know why.
Did you walk through every alley in Mondstadt looking for the "Equivalent Exchange"? Here is the list of prerequisites that you must complete beforehand, which could explain why you cannot find the quest.
Prerequisites
"Equivalent Exchange" is a whole new world quest, and while it doesn't represent a particular difficulty in itself, it's not easy to unlock as the quest start conditions are incredibly vague or even nonexistent.
First of all, know that it's the Fatui Viktor, present just to the left after the entrance to the Favonius Cathedral, who delivers the famous quest.
In fact, the only condition to unlock the mission is simply to have completed the daily quest "Winter Tales" which is also provided by Viktor. The main "difficulty" is in the fact that Viktor doesn't always deliver this daily quest, indeed, you may have to wait several days before being able to complete "Winter Tales".
Once this quest is completed, Viktor will logically suggest you complete the quest "Equivalent Exchange" in which you will have to bring him different local specialties in exchange for 30,000 Mora, 100 EXP and 4 Hero's Wit.
