Where To Find Ayaka's Ascension and Talent Materials
Gemstones and Boss Loot
Shivada Jade Slivers, Fragments, Chunks, and Gemstones can be obtained from the following bosses:
- Cryo Regisvine
- Cryo Hypostasis
- Primo Geovishap
- Maguu Kenki
- Perpetual Mechanical Array
You can obtain these materials from all of the bosses listed above, but the best bosses to fight for gathering materials for Ayaka is the Perpetual Mechanical Array, Cryo Regisvine, and Cryo Hypostasis.
Perpetual Heart can be obtained from the Perpetual Mechanical Array boss. This boss is found near Jinren Island in Inazuma. Use the Thunder Sakura Bough nearby to fly into the portal above, which will send you to the boss's arena.
Common Drops and Books
Sakura Bloom is an Inazuma specialty flower. They can be found throughout the region and will appear as a pink cloud. You have to use a source of Electro to "activate" the cloud, which will allow you to pick up the flower.
Teachings, Guides, and Philosophies of Elegance can be obtained from the Violet Court Domain on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday. This new Domain is located in Inazuma.
Old, Kageuchi, and Famed Handguards can be obtained from Nobushi enemies. These enemies are found around Inazuma and normally travel in packs of three. They are sometimes found alongside Treasure Hoarders and Fatui enemies.
Mora and Experience Books
You will need a total of 7,000,000 Mora to fully upgrade Ayaka. Mora can be obtained from most things in the game, like daily commissions, side quests, and the Battle Pass. The best place to quickly gather Mora is from the Ley Line Outcrop: Blossom of Wealth. You will have to spend 20 Original Resin to obtain rewards from this challenge. Alternatively, you can spend one Condensed Resin to obtain twice the rewards.
To level up Ayaka to the current cap of level 90, you will need the following Experience Books.
- 414 Hero's Wit
- 15 Adventurer's Experience
- 12 Wanderer's Advice
Similar to Mora, you will get Experience Books from most activities in the game. The best place to gather Experience Books is from the Ley Line Outcrop: Blossom of Revelation. This is essentially the Experience Book version of the Mora outcrop, which can be challenged for rewards as long as you have Original Resin to spend.
Rare Items
Bloodjade Branch is a rare reward from the weekly challenge Beneath the Dragon-Queller. You may have to fight Azhdaha a few times before you even see this item drop once, so be sure to challenge this domain every week. If you're having trouble getting Bloodjade Branch, you can use Dream Solvent to convert other Azhdaha materials into the one you need.
Crown of Insight is an exceptionally rare item that can only be obtained from time-limited events, like the event Thunder Sojourn that is set to begin soon. Check back into the game frequently so you don't miss out on an opportunity to snag a Crown of Insight.
