The introduction of Nod-Krai in Genshin Impact’s Luna I update brings an exciting collection of craftable weapons that provide exceptional value for free-to-play adventurers. Unlike gacha-dependent weapon acquisition, these armaments can be obtained entirely through gameplay effort and resource gathering. Each weapon features specialized effects that synergize with specific character kits and elemental reaction strategies.
What makes these weapons particularly valuable is their accessibility – they require no premium currency and can be crafted using materials found throughout Teyvat. Several of these new additions stand out as best-in-slot options for certain character builds, making them essential additions to any serious player’s arsenal.
To begin your journey toward acquiring Nod-Krai’s craftable arsenal, navigate to the Rossum Workshop located in Nasha Town. This establishment serves as your primary destination for both acquiring weapon blueprints and subsequent crafting operations. The workshop is easily identifiable by the standard blacksmith icon on your map interface.
Upon arrival, initiate conversation with Lyulka, the resident weaponsmith, and select the “I’d like to buy a weapon” dialogue option. This action opens the specialized Nod-Krai craftable weapon diagram shop where you can exchange specific material combinations for weapon schematics.
| Name | Material |
|---|---|
| Diagram: Serenity’s Call (Sword) | 10 Icy Pebble, 10 Lakkaberry, 10 Rainbowdrop Crystal |
| Diagram: Snare Hook (Bow) | 10 Nocturnal Blossom, 10 Midsommar Berry, 10 Rainbowdrop Crystal |
| Diagram: Master Key (Claymore) | 10 Lakkaberry, 10 Nocturnal Blossom, 10 Rainbowdrop Crystal |
| Diagram: Blackmarrow Lantern (Catalyst) | 10 Midsommar Berry, 10 Icy Pebble, 10 Rainbowdrop Crystal |
| Diagram: Prospector’s Shovel (Polearm) | 10 Lakkaberry, 10 Nocturnal Blossom, 10 Rainbowdrop Crystal |
After successfully acquiring your desired weapon diagrams, return to Lyulka and this time choose the “I’d like something made” conversation path. This critical step allows you to learn the newly obtained recipes, unlocking your ability to craft these powerful armaments.
The actual weapon fabrication process requires three essential components: Borderlander Billets corresponding to your chosen weapon type, Rainbowdrop Crystals, and White Iron Chunks. Each component has specific acquisition methods that experienced players can optimize for efficiency.
Borderlander Billets represent the rarest component and are exclusively obtained as rewards from completing Natlan and Nod-Krai Trounce domains. These challenging encounters reset weekly, making consistent participation crucial for accumulating sufficient billets.
Rainbowdrop Crystals are localized to the Nod-Krai region, requiring thorough exploration and systematic collection. Veteran players recommend marking crystal locations on your map during initial exploration to streamline future farming sessions.
White Iron Chunks can be gathered throughout Teyvat, with particularly dense concentrations found in Stormbearer Mountains and Wolvendom. These common mining resources respawn regularly, allowing dedicated gatherers to stockpile substantial quantities.
Now that you understand the acquisition and crafting fundamentals, let’s examine the detailed specifications and unique capabilities of each Nod-Krai craftable weapon. Understanding these statistics will help you make informed decisions about which armaments best complement your character roster and combat style.
