Genshin Impact Xianyun: Ascension and Talent Materials Farming Guide

Genshin Impact’s Version 4.4 update introduced Xianyun, the human incarnation of Cloud Retainer, as a formidable 5-star Anemo catalyst character. Her unique kit revolutionizes team combat by enabling consistent plunge attack sequences for your entire party, making her an exceptional support unit for damage-oriented compositions.

To maximize Xianyun’s potential, you’ll need to gather specific character ascension materials including Clearwater Jade, various Samachurl scrolls, Cloudseam Scale, and Vayuda Turquoise gemstones. For talent enhancement, you’ll require Gold-series talent books, additional scroll variants, Lightless Eye of the Maelstrom from weekly boss encounters, and the precious Crown of Insight.

Understanding the farming requirements beforehand can save you significant time and resin. This guide provides comprehensive strategies for efficiently collecting all necessary materials while avoiding common resource-wasting mistakes that many players encounter during the ascension process.

Materials	Quantity
Mora	420k
Vayuda Turquoise Sliver	1
Clearwater Jade	168
Divining Scroll	18
Vayuda Turquoise Fragment	9
Cloudseam Scale	46
Sealed Scroll	30
Vayuda Turquoise Chunk	9
Forbidden Curse Scroll	36
Vayuda Turquoise Gemstone	6

Clearwater Jade represents the most time-intensive material to farm, with 168 units required for full ascension. Chenyu Vale contains 84 harvestable nodes, with 70 available through standard collection, 5 purchasable from Fengtai at Yilong Wharf, and 9 obtainable once by breaking shattered Jade Jars in Yaodie Valley. Efficient farming requires planning a route that minimizes travel time between nodes.

Cloudseam Scale acquisition involves defeating the Solitary Suanni world boss in Chenyu Vale. This ancient Adeptus creature utilizes Anemo-based attacks and requires approximately 40 Original Resin per completion. With 46 scales needed, expect to spend around 1,840 resin (approximately 10 days of natural regeneration) if farming exclusively for this material.

Samachurl scrolls follow a tiered drop system based on enemy levels. Divining Scrolls drop from all levels, Sealed Scrolls become available after level 40, and Forbidden Curse Scrolls unlock at level 60. Farming higher-level Samachurls maximizes efficiency by providing access to all scroll types simultaneously.

Materials	Quantity
Mora	1653k
Teachings of Gold	3
Divining Scroll	6
Guide to Gold	21
Sealed Scroll	22
Philosophies of Gold	38
Forbidden Curse Scroll	31
Lightless Eye of the Maelstrom	6
Crown of Insight	1

Gold talent books are available from the Domain of Mastery: Reign of Violet on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. With 62 total books required (3 Teachings, 21 Guides, 38 Philosophies), plan your resin usage around these specific days. Using Condensed Resin doubles your reward output, effectively cutting farming time in half.

Lightless Eye of the Maelstrom drops from the All-Devouring Narwhal weekly boss in the “Book of Esoteric Revelations” questline. Since weekly bosses have limited attempts with discounted resin costs, prioritize completing this encounter weekly to accumulate the required 6 eyes over time rather than using Original Resin for additional runs.

The Crown of Insight represents the rarest talent material, typically obtainable through limited-time events or from the Sacred Sakura and Frostbearing Tree reward systems. Since only one crown is needed for talent level 10, ensure you participate in events offering this precious resource.

Efficient material collection requires strategic planning to minimize time investment. For Clearwater Jade, create a optimized farming route through Chenyu Vale that groups nodes geographically. Using interactive maps can help identify the most efficient paths. Consider co-op farming with friends to double your daily collection rate.

Common mistakes include farming Samachurls at lower levels (missing higher-tier scrolls), neglecting to purchase materials from vendors, and inefficient resin allocation. Always target level 60+ Samachurls for maximum scroll variety, check Fengtai at Yilong Wharf regularly for purchasable Clearwater Jade, and prioritize weekly bosses with discounted resin first.

Time estimates for complete ascension: Clearwater Jade farming requires approximately 4-5 hours spread over 2-3 days (accounting for respawn timers). Boss farming for Cloudseam Scale takes about 1-2 hours of active combat plus resin regeneration time. Talent book farming requires 6-8 domain runs using Condensed Resin, completed over 2-3 scheduled days.

For advanced optimization, pre-farm materials before obtaining Xianyun to instantly level her upon acquisition. Track your progress using in-game materials tracking or third-party tools. Balance your resin expenditure between different material types rather than focusing exclusively on one category to maintain steady progression across all ascension requirements.
