Finding Red Gems: A Guide to Farming Crimson Agate for Itto
Getting your hands on Crimson Agate, the key ingredient for Itto’s ascension, can be a bit of a journey. But with a good plan, you can efficiently farm this valuable resource and get your Oni-loving Geo character ready for battle.
Where the Agate Lies:
Crimson Agate is found in the Yashiori Island region, a scenic but often-foggy part of Inazuma. Here’s a breakdown of where to find these gems:
- The Serpent’s Head: This area is a prime spot, housing a variety of enemies that drop Crimson Agate. You can find it near the Shrine of the Serpent’s Head and along the coastline.
- The Tatarasuna Area: This area, with its unique mining operations, also provides a good source of Crimson Agate. Look for it around the Tatarasuna Mines and the Tatarasuna Foundry.
- Hidden Chambers: Some hidden chambers, marked by their unique entrance, can be accessed through the "Beneath the Dragon-Queller" world quest. These chambers offer a high chance of finding Crimson Agate and other valuable loot.
Time for a Blitz:
The best way to collect these agates is to take advantage of world bosses and elite enemies. They’re more likely to drop larger quantities of Crimson Agate. Here’s what to keep in mind:
- The "Crimson Agate" Boss: This is the most direct way to get your hands on this gem. Located near the Shrine of the Serpent’s Head, it’s a challenging fight but worth the reward.
- Elite Enemies: The Fatui Skirmishers and Fatui Cicin Mages found in Yashiori Island are known to drop Crimson Agate. Keep an eye out for them, especially around the Tatarasuna Mines.
Maximizing Your Efforts:
- Take Advantage of Events: The game regularly hosts events that offer bonus rewards for completing certain activities. Pay attention to these events, as they can significantly speed up your farming process.
- Use Resin Efficiently: While Crimson Agate can be obtained without using resin, using Resin in Domains can yield a higher amount of gems, especially if you aim for higher levels.
- Utilize the "Track" Feature: Don’t waste time searching for these gems all over the place. Use the "Track" feature in your map to quickly locate their spawns.
A Little Patience Goes a Long Way:
Remember that farming Crimson Agate is a long-term commitment. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get the desired amount in a single run. With consistent effort and smart strategies, you’ll soon have enough Crimson Agate to make Itto a true Oni warrior.
Beyond the Agate:
While Crimson Agate is crucial, don’t forget about the other materials needed for Itto’s ascension. You’ll also need Rukkhashava Mushrooms, Varunada Lazurite, and Boss Materials from the Thunder Manifestation and the Oceanid boss.
With a little dedication and a good understanding of where to find them, you’ll be well on your way to unlocking Itto’s full potential. So, go forth, Traveler, and claim your share of Crimson Agate!
