Maximize Talent Level Materials in Genshin Impact: A Complete Guide to Leveling Up

Level Up Your Genshin Impact Talents: A Traveler’s Guide to Power!

So, you roam Teyvat. Your characters look sharp, but their damage output? Not impressive. Hilichurls aren’t afraid. The secret? Talents. Those icons under “Talents” unlock characters’ true potential. They turn your squad into forces of nature. How to boost talents? This guide is your treasure map to talent-leveling mastery in Genshin Impact!

Understanding Talent Level Up Materials

Think of Talent Level Up Materials as study books. They help improve combat skills. Characters hit harder, heal better, and be more awesome. Without these materials, your team’s progress stalls quickly. It’s like a Dendro slime hitting a Pyro abyss mage. Don’t let that happen!

Boosting Talent Levels: From Zero to Hero

Leveling talents is easy but crucial. Access the “Talents” screen for your character. You’ll see Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst. Level these using specific Talent Materials. Characters’ Ascension Phase sets the max Talent level, capping normally at Level 10. But some constellations can push talents beyond 10, up to Level 13. Who doesn’t like extra power?

Where to Find Those Elusive Talent Books

Talent Books are your main resource for upgrades. They come in three sets: Teachings, Guides, and Philosophies. Teachings are for beginners, Guides are intermediate, and Philosophies are for those wanting to max out talents.

Where to find these books? In Domains! Specifically, Domains of Blessing. These dungeons rotate Talent Books on different days. Here are some examples:

• Klee: Spark Knight and Bookworm
  • Klee needs Freedom Books. Farm in the Forsaken Rift on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Klee also needs a supply of scrolls for her interests.
• Hu Tao: Wielder of the Staff of Homa and… Diligence?
  • Hu Tao requires Diligence Books. Go to Taishan Mansion on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays to stock up.
• Gold Standard: Characters Using Guide to Gold
  • Many characters love the Gold talent books! They include:
    • Baizhu
    • Beidou
    • Traveler
    • Xianyun
    • Xingqiu
    • Xinyan
    • Yanfei
    • Zhongli
  • Taishan Mansion is your goldmine on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
• Venti: An Ode to Ballads (and Slimes?)
  • Venti prefers the Ballad series. Farm these in Forsaken Rift on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. He also needs Crowns of Insight and Tail of Boreas.
• Xiao: Prosperity Through… Slime Condensate?
  • Xiao seeks Prosperity Books, found in Taishan Mansion on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays. He also needs Slime Condensate.
• Zhongli: Gold, Slimes, and Tusk of Monoceros Caeli
  • Zhongli also prefers Gold Books. For one skill, you’ll need multiple materials including: 1 Crown of Insight, 3 Teachings of Gold, and 38 Philosophies of Gold.

  • Raiden Shogun needs Molten Moment and Crowns of Insight. Defeat a Harbinger for these.

    • Lyney
    • Navia
    • Neuvillette
    • Sigewinne
    • Traveler
  • Find these in the Pale Forgotten Glory Domain on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

Talent Stacking: Not Just About Books

While Talent Books are crucial, “talent stacking” is not just in-game. It’s about developing a unique skill set. In Genshin, it means creating balanced characters and teams. Don’t focus solely on one talent; diversify! A character with leveled Normal Attacks, Skills, and Bursts is more effective than one maxed-out Burst. Become valuable in Teyvat.

Talent Level Caps and Constellations: Breaking the Mold

Combat talents max out at Level 10. However, some character constellations can boost talents by 3 levels. They reach a maximum of 13. You cannot level talents above 10 normally. Those constellations are the only exceptions. Level 13 is the current peak. Unless Mihoyo increases power creep again.

Weekly Boss Materials: Conquering the Big Leagues

To advance talents to higher levels (especially level 8 or more), you need materials from Weekly Bosses. These bosses drop unique materials needed by specific characters.

• Who Needs What Weekly Boss Material? Here’s a quick cheat sheet:
  

  Boss Material	Characters
  Shadow of the Warrior (Childe)	Ganyu, Rosaria, Xiao
  Dragon Lord’s Crown (Azhdaha)	Eula, Traveler, Yoimiya
  Bloodjade Branch (Azhdaha)	Dori, Ayaka, Yanfei
  Shard of a Foul Legacy (Childe)	Diona, Hu Tao, Tartaglia

• Unlocking Weekly Bosses: Questing for Challenges Most bosses become accessible by completing Archon Quests or specific Story Quests. Trounce Domains allow you to fight these bosses; they’re usually accessible via teleport. However, Andrius, the Wolf of the North, is found in the open world of Wolvendom.
• Unlocking the Wolf Boss (Andrius): Razor’s Tale To face Andrius, complete Razor’s Story Quest, “Lupus Minor Chapter: Act I – The Meaning of Lupical.” Once finished, you’ll unlock the “Wolf of the North Challenge” in Wolvendom. For Klee, the Ring of Boreas from Andrius is vital for talent ascension.

A Quick Detour: Talents in Battle Cats (Just for Fun!)

If you venture outside Teyvat into “Battle Cats,” you’ll find talents there! Use NP (Neko Points) to unlock and upgrade talents for True Formed Cats via the Upgrade Menu.

Character Level Up Materials: The EXP Grind

You need Character EXP materials to level up. Where do you get them? Everywhere! Quests, treasure chests, and increasing your Adventure Rank provide Character EXP materials. It’s practically raining Hero’s Wit!

• Fast Leveling: The Path of Least Resistance Just play the game! Completing quests and opening chests consistently rewards Character EXP materials.
• Do You Need? Leveling from 70 to 80 needs 244 Hero’s Wit, plus some Adventurer’s Experience. From 80 to 90, it’s 415 Hero’s Wit. Leveling to 90 from scratch takes about 421 Hero’s Wit or 8,362,650 EXP. That’s many books!
• Free Hero’s Wit? Talk to Iris! Need a resin-free boost? Teleport to Dragonspine. Find Iris, ask her about Dragonspine, and she will gift you 4 Hero’s Wit. It’s simple.
• Level 80 to 90: Is it Worth the Grind? People often ask if leveling from 80 to 90 is worth it. Ascending to 80/90 offers a significant boost. It unlocks talent levels 9 and 10. However, 90/90 gives a minor increase of about 15 base attack points. For efficiency, stop at level 80 unless you want perfection.
• Should You Level Up EVERY Character? It’s tempting to max out all characters, but resources are limited. Leveling higher ascensions uses lots of resources. Prioritize your main teams and the characters you regularly use.

Enhancement Materials: Weapon Power-Ups

Don’t ignore your weapons! Enhancement Materials are vital. Mystic Enhancement Ore helps with upgrades. You can primarily get it by forging. Look for it in the Battle Pass, chests, events, and Paimon’s Bargains.

• Mystic Enhancement Ore: Level 80 to 90 Weapon Grind To level a 5-star weapon from 80 to 90, you’ll need around 372 Mystic Enhancement Ores. So start mining!

Resin Usage: The Energy System of Teyvat

Resin is Genshin Impact’s energy system. You need it for rewards such as Domains, bosses, and Ley Line Outcrops. It controls character and weapon growth.

• Resin Refills: Patience is a Virtue (or Use Primogems) Refilling resin needs Primogems. Costs rise with each daily refill. Use your resources wisely!
• What to Spend Resin On? Prioritize Wisely! Focus resin on activities that enhance your characters and weapons directly. Talent Books, Weekly Bosses, and Artifact Domains are good bets.
• Resin Regeneration Time: Tick-Tock Goes the Clock Full resin refill takes 26 hours and 40 minutes. You regain 180 resin every 24 hours. Don’t let it cap! Always spend resin or miss progress.

Other Resources: Mora, Primogems, and Adventure Rank

Many other essential resources exist in Genshin Impact.

• Mora: The Coin of Teyvat Mora serves as in-game currency. Fast farming includes daily artifact routes, bounties, and requests. You can also use events and scrapping low-rarity artifacts. Daily commissions can yield more Mora too.
• Primogems: The Premium Currency Primogems are valuable. Good sources include daily commissions and Spiral Abyss. Collect them for wishes or resin refills.
• Adventure Rank: Your Player Level Increase your Adventure Rank to unlock more content. Play to gain Adventure EXP! Complete tasks and win battles for experience.
• Grinding for Adventure EXP: Boss Rush? For quick Adventure EXP, take on Ley Line bosses in Mondstadt. Elite bosses earn you 200 EXP, while Weekly bosses yield 300 EXP.
• Adventure Rank Milestones: 56 to 60 EXP From AR 59 to 60, it takes a staggering 340,125 Adventure EXP. From AR 56 to 57? Just 26,600 EXP. The climb gets harder.
• Wishes: Gambling for Characters and Weapons Wishes are your chance for new characters and weapons. Most Wishes come from buying Fates with Primogems. Free Wishes come from redeem codes and events.

Game Mechanics and Miscellaneous Genshin Wisdom

• Talent Level 15? Myth or Future? Game files hint at Talent Level 15. Currently, you can still only reach Level 14 through constellations. Level 15 remains a legend now.
• Maxing ALL Talents? Constellation Required! Talents cap at Level 10 without constellations. Only constellations can push past this limit to level them further.
• Buying Materials? Realm Depot to the Rescue! You can buy some materials at the Realm Depot in your Serenitea Pot. Useful for crafting needs.
• Genshin Impact: Free to Play? Mostly… Genshin is mainly free-to-play. You can enjoy the entire story without paying money. Spending on wishes can improve faster progression but isn’t essential.
• 100% Genshin Completion? The Completionist’s Dream (or Nightmare) Can you accomplish true 100% in Genshin Impact? Yes, but it is very hard. Finding every collectible requires extensive exploration. Prepare for a lengthy journey!
• World Level 8 & 9 Co-op? Join Forces! Good news if you are a high-level player! Players on World Level 8 and 9 can join for co-op with ease.

And that’s your guide to enhancing talent levels in Genshin Impact! Now farm those books, defeat those bosses, and evolve your characters into great powerhouses! Teyvat awaits your strength!
