What are all the ways to get namecards?

Six: Friendship Level 10 with a character, completing an entire achievement category, nation reputation levels, offering-system levels, limited-time events, and buying the Gnostic Chorus battle pass.

Do namecards do anything?

No, they are purely cosmetic. They display on your profile, the Paimon menu, the friend list and the co-op screen, and you can showcase up to 12 of them.

Can I still get a missed event namecard?

No. Neither event nor battle pass namecards have ever been rerun, so they are permanently missable. Even when an event returns, its reward pool is usually changed.

How do I raise friendship fast?

Bring the character to daily commissions, quests and events so they share companionship EXP, park them in the Serenitea Pot for passive hourly EXP, and play in co-op where all companionship EXP is doubled.

How do achievement namecards work?

You must complete every achievement in a single group. Once done, a claim button appears next to that group's header in the Achievements screen; partial completion does not count.

Genshin Namecard Guide: All Six Sources and Priority Order

Namecards are purely cosmetic, yet they are one of the things collectors care about most. There are six sources, and two of them expire permanently. This guide lays out all six paths, the exact level milestones, the showcase limit and a sensible collection order.

What do namecards do? Nothing mechanical — they are purely cosmetic. They show up on your profile, the Paimon menu, your friend list and the co-op screen.
How many sources are there? Six: Friendship Level 10, completing an entire achievement category, nation reputation levels, offering-system levels, limited-time events, and buying the Gnostic Chorus battle pass.
Which is easiest? Character friendship namecards — reach Friendship Level 10 with that character. The only real gate is owning the character at all.
Can I still get a missed event namecard? No. Neither event nor battle pass namecards have ever been rerun, so a miss is permanent.

What namecards are

Namecards are purely cosmetic four-star items used to decorate your profile. They appear in four places: your profile page, the Paimon menu, the friend list and the co-op screen. Logging in for the first time grants the default namecard, "Genshin Impact: A New World".

On the namecard showcase page you can select and display up to 12 owned namecards. Changing your equipped namecard is unlimited — just hit the edit button next to your username in the main menu.

The six sources

Source	How to get it	Still obtainable?
Friendship	Reach Friendship Level 10 with that character	Permanent
Achievements	Complete an entire achievement category	Permanent
Reputation	Reach the required reputation level in each nation	Permanent
Offering systems	Frostbearing Tree, Sacred Sakura, Lumenstone Adjuvant and similar	Permanent
Events	Complete conditions during a limited-time event	Missable
Battle Pass	Buy the Gnostic Chorus that version	Missable

Source 1: character friendship (the biggest pool)

With the exception of the Traveler and Aloy, every character has their own namecard, unlocked automatically at Friendship Level 10. That also means you cannot get the namecard of a character you do not own.

Fastest ways to raise friendship:

Bring the character to daily commissions, quests and events; companionship EXP is split evenly across the party with no dilution.
Place them in the Serenitea Pot and claim the Trust rewards for passive hourly EXP.
In co-op all companionship EXP is doubled, making it by far the quickest route.
Weekly bosses and ley lines give far more companionship EXP than opening world chests.

Source 2: achievement namecards

Completing an entire category of achievements grants its namecard — categories such as Challenger: Series I, Mortal Travails: Series I or Explorer. There are roughly 60 achievement namecards, making this the second largest source.

Claim them in the Achievements screen: once every achievement in a group is done, a claim button appears next to the group header. Note that it is the whole group, not a handful of entries.

Sources 3 and 4: reputation and offering systems

System	Namecard milestone
Nation reputation	Most nations award one at Reputation 4 and another at Reputation 7
Frostbearing Tree (Dragonspine)	Level 9
Sacred Sakura (Inazuma)	Level 48
Lumenstone Adjuvant (The Chasm)	Level 10

Offering namecards are the classic "free on the way" reward — you were levelling those systems anyway for Primogems and materials.

Sources 5 and 6: events and the battle pass (missable)

These two are the ones to watch:

Event namecards can only be claimed while the event runs and are usually named "Celebration: …". No event namecard has ever been rerun, and even when an event returns the reward pool changes — the second Hyakunin Ikki run handed out an entirely different set.
Battle pass namecards require buying the Gnostic Chorus upgrade and are named "Travel Notes: …". They change every version and have never rerun either.

The conclusion is simple: if you want it, do not wait. If you collect namecards, knock out the namecard condition early in every event.

A sensible collection order

Max friendship on characters you actually play — you were using them anyway, so the namecard is free.
Level offering systems as you go — namecards arrive while you farm materials.
Hit Reputation 4 and 7, which also unlock the Treasure Compass and condensed resin blueprints.
Finish achievement groups that are one or two entries short — the best effort-to-reward ratio.
Grab event namecards immediately; that is the only part with a deadline.

Bottom line

There is no shortcut to namecard collecting, but there is a priority order: max friendship on characters you already play and level offering systems as you go, which covers most of the pool; finish achievement groups that are nearly done; and claim event and battle pass namecards on the spot — those are the only two of the six sources that expire permanently, while the other four can always be picked up later.
