Hu Tao is a fantastic Pyro Polearm user, and getting her to her full potential involves collecting a special material called Crimson Agate. This guide will help you efficiently farm this resource so you can build your powerful Pyro girl!
Where to Find Crimson Agate:
Crimson Agate is found primarily in the Liyue region. You can get it by defeating specific enemies:
- Geovishaps: These giant lizard-like creatures can be found scattered throughout Liyue, particularly in the Guili Plains and the areas surrounding the "Peak of Vindagnyr" domain.
- Geovishap Hatchlings: Smaller versions of the Geovishaps, you’ll find them near the larger Geovishaps.
Farming Strategies:
- Domain Farming: The "Peak of Vindagnyr" domain is your best bet. This domain is unlocked at Adventure Rank 30 and grants you Crimson Agate as a potential reward. The higher the difficulty level, the better chance you have of getting higher-level Crimson Agate.
- Daily Commissions: Keep an eye out for daily commissions in Liyue. Sometimes, these commissions will have you fighting Geovishaps, providing an opportunity to collect some Crimson Agate.
- Explore Liyue: Explore the Liyue region! You’ll encounter Geovishaps as you wander, so take advantage of these opportunities to gather some Crimson Agate.
Tips for Efficient Farming:
- Team Composition: A team with strong Geo damage dealers (like Itto or Noelle) can make quick work of Geovishaps, especially in the "Peak of Vindagnyr" domain.
- Food Buffs: Prepare some food buffs to increase your characters’ attack and defense. This will help you deal more damage to the Geovishaps.
- Resin Management: Use your Resin wisely. Prioritize farming the "Peak of Vindagnyr" domain when you have Resin available.
Crimson Agate Amounts:
- Ascension Levels: Ascension Levels 1-6 require a total of 168 Crimson Agate.
- Talent Levels: Talents also require Crimson Agate, but the amount varies depending on the talent level.
Maximizing Your Resources:
- Resin and Resin Refreshers: Don’t waste your Resin! Make sure you’re using Resin Refreshers when needed, especially if you need a lot of Crimson Agate quickly.
- Events: Keep an eye out for events that offer Crimson Agate as rewards.
Additional Tips:
- Ley Line Outcrops: You can farm Crimson Agate Ley Line Outcrops in Liyue, but these offer less efficient drops.
- World Bosses: While not a direct source of Crimson Agate, world bosses in Liyue can reward you with Primogems, which you can then use to purchase resin refills.
By following these strategies and tips, you’ll be well on your way to collecting enough Crimson Agate to ascend Hu Tao and unleash her full Pyro power! Happy farming!
