With the arrival of patch 5.3 in Genshin Impact, many players are eager to level up and max out their new character, Lan Yan. Whether you’re a veteran looking to make the most out of her abilities or a newcomer, understanding the materials required to ascend her and enhance her skills is key. In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about the materials required for Lan Yan’s ascension, talents, and more in this patch.
1. Ascension Materials for Lan Yan
To upgrade Lan Yan from level 1 to 90, you'll need a variety of materials. These can be obtained from bosses, materials dropped by monsters, and certain areas in the world. Here’s a comprehensive list of what you’ll need to max out her levels.
Vayuda Turquoise
As with all Anemo characters, Lan Yan requires Vayuda Turquoise gemstones to level up. You will need:
- 1 Vayuda Turquoise Sliver
- 9 Vayuda Turquoise Fragments
- 9 Vayuda Turquoise Chunks
- 6 Vayuda Turquoise Gemstones
These can be obtained from the Anemo Hypostasis, one of the most iconic bosses for Anemo characters, as well as other Anemo bosses and elite monsters. The Vayuda Turquoise materials drop in increments from Slivers to Fragments, Chunks, and ultimately Gemstones as you progress through ascension levels.
Whopperflower Nectar, Shimmering Nectar, and Energy Nectar
Next, Lan Yan needs specific types of nectar to ascend:
- 18 Whopperflower Nectar
- 30 Shimmering Nectar
- 36 Energy Nectar
These nectars drop from Whopperflowers in the Mondstadt and Liyue regions. Whopperflowers are relatively common enemies, so make sure to farm them regularly to stock up on these essential items.
Clearwater Jade
Another key ascension material is Clearwater Jade, which drops from the Liyue region, especially near rivers and bodies of water. Lan Yan will require a total of:
- 168 Clearwater Jade
Make sure to explore the Liyue region extensively to gather enough of this material.
Gold-Inscribed Secret Source Core
To complete Lan Yan’s ascension, you will need Gold-Inscribed Secret Source Cores. These drop from the Secret Source Automaton, which can be found in the Toyac Springs region of Natlan. You’ll need a total of:
- 46 Gold-Inscribed Secret Source Cores
This may be one of the more difficult materials to farm since it’s tied to a specific world boss in a newly introduced region. (Updated: To get this material, you will need to defeat the Secret Source Automaton: Configuration Device or Secret Source Constructor. You will be able to face him in the Toyac Springs region of Natlan and you need to collect 46 Gold-Inscribed Secret Source Cores to upgrade Lan Yan from level 1 to 90).
2. Talent Upgrade Materials
Just leveling up Lan Yan’s character isn’t enough to maximize her potential. To upgrade her talents and unleash her full abilities, you’ll need to gather more specific materials.
Teachings, Guide, and Philosophies of Diligence
These materials are required to level up Lan Yan’s talents and are dropped in the Taishan Mansion Domain. You will need:
- 9 Teachings of Diligence
- 63 Guide to Diligence
- 114 Philosophies of Diligence
These materials are essential for upgrading Lan Yan’s Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst. The Diligence series can be farmed in the Taishan Mansion Domain, which is accessible by using the domain keys or resins.
Upgrade Lan Yan's skill set (Eroded Gear)
This boss gear can be obtained from the new boss Lord of Eroded Primal Fire that you will be able to face during patch 5.3. You will need to collect 18 of them to upgrade Lan Yan's skill set.
Crown of Insight
To further level up Lan Yan’s talents to their highest potential, you’ll need the rare Crown of Insight. Lan Yan requires:
- 3 Crowns of Insight
Crowns of Insight are a rare and valuable item in Genshin Impact. They are typically awarded during special in-game events or can be earned by leveling up certain regions' elemental shrines or upgrading certain region-related structures. Be sure to keep an eye on events and other opportunities to earn Crowns of Insight, as they are necessary for maximizing any character’s talents.
3. A Quick Recap of Materials for Lan Yan’s Ascension and Skills
Here’s a quick breakdown of everything you need for Lan Yan’s level and talent upgrades:
- Vayuda Turquoise Sliver: 1
- Vayuda Turquoise Fragment: 9
- Vayuda Turquoise Chunk: 9
- Vayuda Turquoise Gemstone: 6
- Whopperflower Nectar: 18
- Shimmering Nectar: 30
- Energy Nectar: 36
- Clearwater Jade: 168
- Gold-Inscribed Secret Source Core: 46
- Teachings of Diligence: 9
- Guide to Diligence: 63
- Philosophies of Diligence: 114
- Crown of Insight: 3
4. Tips for Efficient Farming
Farm Whopperflowers in both Mondstadt and Liyue: Whopperflower Nectar is essential for both Lan Yan’s ascension and her skill upgrades, so be sure to farm these flowers whenever you can. They’re especially abundant in both regions, so there’s no need to travel far.
Target Specific Bosses for Vayuda Turquoise: The Anemo Hypostasis is one of the primary sources for Vayuda Turquoise, so take advantage of its relatively predictable drop pattern. There are also other Anemo bosses across the game, but the Hypostasis is generally the most efficient.
Use Resin Wisely: As always, be strategic with your resin. Domains like Taishan Mansion (for Diligence materials) and bosses (for Gold-Inscribed Secret Source Cores) are great sources of talent upgrade materials, but they require resin. If you’re low on resin, consider using condensed resin for more efficient farming.
Participate in Events: Keep an eye on time-limited events that may reward you with Crown of Insight, as these are invaluable for finalizing Lan Yan’s skills.
