Genshin Impact: How to Farm Character Ascension Materials Guide

Here's a quick guide on how to farm Character Ascension Materials in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact Character Ascension Materials are necessary to level up your characters past their current level caps. Each character uses different materials, so knowing where to get them and how to plan your farming can save you a lot of time and Resin.

Check the Character's Requirements

Before you start farming anything, open the character's Ascension menu to see exactly what materials they need. Each character needs different local specialties, enemy drops, gems, and boss materials, so knowing what you need will save you from collecting unwanted items.

Farm Local Specialties

Many characters require local specialties that can only be found in certain areas. These materials respawn after some time, so grab them up whenever you see them while exploring. You can also visit other players’ worlds if they allow you to collect resources there.

Defeat Normal Bosses

Character Ascensions often require unique materials dropped from specific Normal Bosses. Go to your character’s Ascension menu, defeat the required boss and spend Original Resin to collect the rewards.

Gather Enemy Drops

Regular enemies throughout Teyvat will drop some Ascension Materials. If you know what enemy drops the material you need, you can find it in the Adventurer's Handbook and follow its location. Gather these drops while you’re out exploring, not when you’re in dire need.

Farm Elemental Gems

Ascension requires characters to have elemental gemstones that correspond to their element. These can be earned through bosses, Domains, commissions and other activities. If you are lacking a certain gem, turn your attention to activities that can yield the appropriate elemental material.

Use the Adventurer's Handbook

The Adventurer’s Handbook can help you locate enemies and some bosses that drop materials. Use it to locate the enemies you need, rather than searching randomly across the map. This can make farming for certain drops much more convenient.

Plan Your Resin

Normal Bosses and other Resin-based activities consume Original Resin, so farm with the characters you actually want to build in mind. Don’t use Resin on character materials that you won’t use anytime soon.

Farm Before You Need Them

Don’t wait until a character hits their cap level to gather Ascension Materials. If you have decided what character you want to build, start gathering local specialties and enemy drops beforehand. This lets you ascend them immediately when they are ready.

Last Tips

Before you start farming, check the Ascension requirements for each character and then focus on the bosses, enemies and local specialties that give you exactly what you need. Explore, gather resources, use the Adventurer’s Handbook to find specific enemies and spend your Original Resin wisely. Preparing materials in advance can make character progression a lot easier in Genshin Impact.
