Genshin Impact Material Mania: Your Hilarious Harvesting Handbook
So, you’re wandering Teyvat. Your pockets are emptier than a Ruin Guard’s soul. Are you trying to ascend your characters with just hopes? The truth is, you need materials. A lot of them. Knowing where to find these crucial items helps you immensely, especially if you’re like Paimon sometimes.
No need to worry! This is not like your grandma’s boring botany textbook. We will explore resource gathering, Genshin-style. This is your guide to material hoarding. Let’s get harvesting!
Material Mania: Snagging Specific Stuff
Let’s get down to brass tacks. You need materials? We have all stared at recipes like they were written in an ancient language. Here’s the lowdown on key ingredients and how to gather them.
Mist Flower: Melt It To Get It
Need Frostshield Potions or Frosting Essential Oil? Mist Flowers are essential. Good news: they’re abundant in Teyvat! Bad news: they’re frozen. You must use a Pyro skill to melt them before collection. It’s like defrosting dinner, just way more floral.
Violetgrass: Buy It ‘Til You Find It
Violetgrass clings to cliffs, like a spider-man wannabe. Tired of climbing? You can simply BUY it! Check out these vendors in Liyue:
- Verr Goldet at Wangshu Inn
- Herbalist Gui at Bubu Pharmacy
- Babak in Port Ormos (Sumeru)
It’s retail therapy for your inventory.
Snapdragon: Mondstadt’s Floral Freeloaders
Snapdragons, those vibrant flowers, gossip in the wind. Mondstadt is a Snapdragon paradise. Search around these spots:
- West of Stormbearer Point
- Northeastern Stormbearer Mountains
- Around Cider Lake’s islands
- Falcon Coast gulf
They look pretty and are easy to gather.
Flaming Flower Stamen: Cool It Down!
Flaming Flower Stamens come from Flaming Flowers. These guys love grasslands. To harvest the stamen, extinguish the flames first. Use Hydro or Cryo attacks. Rain also helps, but don’t rely on it. Teyvat’s weather is unpredictable.
Lotus Head: Liyue’s Water Lily Look-Alikes
Lotus Heads resemble water lilies. Liyue’s pools overflow with them, especially at:
- Luhua Pool
- Huaguang Stone Forest
- Stone Gate
Simpler than it sounds. Just splash into the water and grab them.
Sakura Bloom: Zap It To Grab It
Sakura Blooms in Inazuma are glowing secrets hiding in plain sight. You see the sparkly spots? Don’t get too excited. You must electrify them first to reveal their true form. Zap and collect!
Sea Ganoderma: Beachcombing and Bargain Hunting
Sea Ganoderma looks like plants but acts like shells. You can find them on Inazuma’s shores or purchase some from Obata in Ritou. He charges 1000 Mora for 5. Feeling patient? Plant Sea Ganoderma Cuttings in your Serenitea Pot for steady supply.
Cor Lapis: Cliffside Crystals and Merchant Must-Haves
Cor Lapis looks like petrified sunshine. Liyue has plenty, especially at cliffs, caves, and mines. Smash those nodes to gather it! Or, buy from these Liyue merchants:
- Changshun: Sells 5 every 3 days for 1500 Mora.
- Fengtai: Sells 5 every 3 days for 1000 Mora.
- Qiuwei: Sells 5 every 3 days for 1000 Mora.
Pro-tip: Fengtai and Qiuwei have discounts for you.
Cacahuatl: Huitztli Hill Hide-and-Seek
Cacahuatl looks like a sneeze and acts like a flower. Go to Huitztli Hill. Teleport to the waypoint and glide down to the area with white trees. Enemies guard your precious flower, so be cautious!
Embercore: Sulfurous Veins Bonanza
Embercore is essential and fiery. Sulfurous Veins is your prime Embercore location. Teleport to Sulfurous Veins, then glide east to find five Embercore Flowers on a cliff. Best farming spot for sure.
Silk Flower: Wangshu Inn and Harbor Hotspots
Silk Flowers are your smooth purchases. Wangshu Inn and Liyue Harbor are where to shop. They respawn every 48 hours, so be patient. Or teleport and grab them all in one go.
Luminescent Pollen: Fungus Fracas and Paimon’s Deals
Luminescent Pollen drops from Fungi. Target level 40+ fungi for pollen perks. Tip: use Cryo, Hydro, Geo, or Anemo attacks. Pyro, Electro, or Dendro will get different drops. Desperate for more? Paimon’s Bargains sells it for Masterless Stardust.
Lumitoile: Shop-Free Sparkle
Lumitoile are star-shaped seashells that glow. Good luck buying them; no shops sell Lumitoile. You must farm them! Time to explore Teyvat!
Vendor Ventures: Shopping Sprees for Supplies
Sometimes battling monsters gets tiring. Good news! Teyvat has vendors! Let’s meet a couple of key material sources.
Flora (Floral Whisper, Mondstadt): Your Budding Buddy
Flora, the flower child of Mondstadt, runs Floral Whisper. Open from 6 AM to 7 PM, she sells flowers! Five types reset every 3 days. Flora’s your quick floral fix in Mondstadt. She’s less judgmental than Timmie when he’s scared of pigeons.
Babak (Port Ormos, Sumeru): Sumeru’s Specialty Supplier
Babak in Port Ormos sells Local Specialties. His stock refreshes every 3 days. Need local Sumeru items? Babak’s your guy!
Timey-Wimey Tactics: Mastering the Clock
Genshin Impact operates on a clock system. Understanding it is key for efficient farming and resets.
Changing Time: Time Travel (Lite)
Want to fast-forward time? Open the main menu, click on clock, then “Fast-Forward”. Maximum of 48 hours. Great for respawns, daily commissions, etc.
Daily and Weekly Resets: The 4 AM Alarm Clock
Daily resets occur at 4 AM server time. Weekly resets happen Mondays at 4 AM server time. This is when everything resets. Set your alarm at 3:59 AM? Just kidding… unless?
Your crash course in Genshin Impact material gathering is here! Go explore, harvest, and buy! Teyvat’s resources await, and your characters thirst for ascension. Happy hunting!
