How to farm Nahida materials
Spores, Pollen, and Cyst Dust
To level up Nahida’s skills, you need Fungal Spores, Luminescent Pollen, and Crystalline Cyst Dust. These are enemy drops and can be found when taking down a variety of different Fungi. You need to head to Sumeru, where you’ll find Fungi throughout the region especially in forest areas such as Mawtimiya Forest and Vanarana, although they can also be found in The Chasm.
Quelled Creeper
Drops from the world boss, Dendo Hypostasis, arriving in the 3.2 update and should be located in the Sumeru desert. The Dendro Hypostasis also drops emeralds, the Dendro materials you need to ascend Nahida.
Kalpalata Lotus
This flower arrived in the 3.1 update and can be farmed ahead of time on the mountains of Sumeru. They typically grow on the side of cliffs or can be purchased from Aramari located in Vanarana.
Dendro materials
The Dendro materials, Nagadus Emeralds, can be farmed from the Jadeplume Terrorshroom, a boss found in Vissudha Field, Sumeru. Alternatively, you can also get these gems from the new Dendro Hypostasis world boss.
Talent materials
Nahida’s book chain talent ascension is Ingenuity, an item added alongside the Dendro element in 3.0. Teachings, Guides and Philosophies of Ingenuity are available from the Steeple of Ignorance. You also need Puppet Strings which can be obtained from the weekly boss, Shouki no Kami, found southeast of Sumeru City.
You also need a Crown of Insight per talent you intend to take to level ten. There are eight available via offerings and many limited time Genshin Impact events have at least one on offer as well.
