Hunting for Crimson Agate: A Guide to Leveling Up Hu Tao
Hu Tao, the Ghost of the Guili Plains, is a powerful Pyro Polearm user. To unlock her full potential, you’ll need to ascend her, and that requires Crimson Agate. Finding these precious gems can be a bit of a hunt, so let’s make it a little easier!
Where to Find Crimson Agate:
- Liyue Domains: Your first stop should be the domains within Liyue. These domains, especially "Hidden Palace of Liyue" and "Domain of Guyun", are excellent sources of Crimson Agate.
- Boss Battles: While not as consistent as domains, boss battles like the Hypostasis of Pyro and Geo Hypostasis offer a chance to obtain Crimson Agate.
- World Bosses: The weekly boss Azhdaha, a terrifying dragon, offers a chance to get these agates, but he can be tough to beat.
Maximizing Your Farming:
- Resin Management: Domains and Boss Battles use Resin, a limited resource. Use your Resin wisely! Prioritize domains over boss battles for consistent Crimson Agate drops.
- Optimal Team: Make sure you have a team that can easily handle the challenges in the domains and boss battles. This will make your farming sessions go smoother.
- Weekly Reset: Remember that the world bosses and their rewards reset every week. Plan your farming around this schedule.
- Daily Commissions: Don’t forget about daily commissions! They often offer random rewards, including Crimson Agate.
Beyond the Agate:
- Level Up Your Talent Books: Hu Tao’s ascension also requires "Philosophies of Freedom" talent books. You can get these from the "Taishan Mansion" domain in Liyue.
- Gather Materials: Ascend your Hu Tao also requires Mora (in-game currency), Boss materials, and a specific local specialty called "Silk Flower".
Tips for the Hunt:
- Teamwork: Consider joining a co-op team to farm domains. It’s easier and faster!
- Event Rewards: Keep an eye out for events that offer Crimson Agate as rewards.
- Wish Upon the Stars: While not a farming method, the Gacha system offers a chance to get Hu Tao’s materials as a bonus.
- Patience and Persistence: Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get all the Crimson Agate you need right away. Keep farming, and you’ll get there!
Hu Tao’s Strength:
As you ascend Hu Tao, her power will grow, allowing her to take on even the most formidable foes in Teyvat. So, grab your weapon, gather your team, and get ready to farm those Crimson Agates!
