Become a Genshin Impact Farming God: Your Ultimate Guide to Loot and Riches

You have stepped into Genshin Impact’s stunning world. It’s not just about showing off in Teyvat. It’s about gear, materials, and enough Primogems for your wish habit. Welcome to the grind! But don’t worry. This guide helps you become a farming pro, so you have all the resources you need.

Material Mania: Where to Snag Every Essential Item

Let’s face it. A lot of the game involves collecting flowers and rocks. Finding the good stuff is crucial. Forget wandering aimlessly. Let’s be strategic about gathering materials.

Cultivating Your Own Garden (Because Why Not?)

Want to be a gardening expert in Genshin? You can grow some materials yourself! If you are patient or forgetful, the Seed Dispensary is your friend. If not, the Realm Depot lets you buy materials instead.

Your teapot spirit companion, Tubby, is quite enterprising. Head to the “Riches of the Realm” in the Realm Depot to buy Fields . Complete “The Art of Horticulture” and get a free Luxuriant Glebe field. Who knew spirit companions help gather resources?

Apple-solutely Delicious Locations

Need a snack or recipe ingredients? Apples fit the bill. Mondstadt is ripe with apple trees. Check out these top apple spots:

• Wolvendon
• Dawn Winery
• Starfell Lake

These places are loaded with apple trees and fallen fruit. But watch for hilichurls trying to steal your apples. They do not love apple pie like we do.

Silk Flower Hotspots: Where to Buy Your Blooms

Silk Flowers are crucial for character ascension and crafting. Luckily, you don’t only have to forage. Three vendors in Teyvat have you covered:

• Verr Goldet: Wangshu Inn, Liyue
• Ms. Bai: Qingce Village, Liyue
• Qiuwei: Port Ormos, Sumeru

Stock up on these flowers to keep character ascensions flowing.

Character Ascension Materials: Bossing Around for Goodies

Maxing out your characters means needing ascension materials, like gems and drops from bosses. Sure, some come from quests, but battling World Bosses gives you consistent returns. These foes respawn, allowing you to challenge them again and again for ascension goodies.

Don’t overlook Local Specialties! Each character needs 168 local items from their home region to fully ascend. Explore every corner of Teyvat!

The “Work” Exploit (Hypothetical, of Course)

This one’s tongue-in-cheek but true. Players joke about Primogem value based on work earnings. “The job is tough, but you can get 1000+ Primogems a day from it.” If earning $15/hour and working 8 hours, it equals many Primogems. We suggest sticking to in-game farming.
