Unlocking Dragonspine’s Secrets: A Deep Dive into Crimson Agates in Genshin Impact
Dragonspine is Genshin Impact’s chilly mountain range. It offers more than battles and cold. It has secrets. One of those secrets is the Crimson Agate, a shiny red gem.
Crimson Agates are Dragonspine’s unique collectible currency. You cannot buy them. Instead, you must earn them by exploring the icy landscape.
Crimson Agate 101: The Basics
What are Crimson Agates? These are limited items scattered throughout Dragonspine. They resemble tiny red gems, waiting for discovery. Finding all requires some treasure hunting.
How many are hidden? There are 80 Crimson Agates throughout Dragonspine.
Where to find these crystals? They rarely sit out in the open. You must explore. Look for them:
- Glistening in the open world.
- Hidden in chests, rewarding curiosity.
- As prizes in Time Trial Challenges (Dragonspine loves a challenge).
- By revealing hidden secrets – what’s an adventure without mystery?
For those dedicated, the 80th agate requires special effort. You must show kindness to foxes in the “Lost in the Snow” World Quest. Feed them, and they will reward your kindness.
The Frostbearing Tree: Your Crimson Agate Bank
Now that you’re hunting for Crimson Agates, you need to know what to do with them. Meet the Frostbearing Tree.
This ancient tree stands in the Snow-Covered Path area. You can’t miss it; it’s both prominent and frosty.
What’s the deal with this tree? You give it your collected Crimson Agates. It’s like Dragonspine’s rewards program, and it gives generously.
For every offering level you achieve, rewards follow. Expect:
- Ten Mystic Enhancement Ore for weapon upgrades.
- A nice 50,000 Mora, who doesn’t want more Mora?
- 200 Adventure EXP to boost your progress.
- A unique reward at every level to maintain interest.
Leveling the Frostbearing Tree goes beyond simple rewards. Reach Offering Level 10, and you’ll receive the “Memory of the Frostbearing Tree” Diagram. This isn’t just a picture; it’s your key to forging the 4-Star Catalyst, Frostbearer. It’s a weapon worth pursuing.
Crimson Wishes: Your Weekly Agate Top-Up
Think you have gathered all 80 Crimson Agates and maxed the Frostbearing Tree? Think again! There is more to this story.
Once you reach level 8 with the Frostbearing Tree (that’s offering 80 Crimson Agates), you unlock Crimson Wishes.
Crimson Wishes act like mini-quests, similar to daily commissions but with a Dragonspine twist. They refresh every Monday and Friday, giving you chances to earn more Agates.
Completing each Crimson Wish earns you another Crimson Agate. It’s a great way to keep collecting red gems.
However, there’s a catch. Once the Frostbearing Tree hits Level 12, Crimson Wishes no longer appear. The tree suggests that you’ve learned everything possible.
The purpose of Crimson Wishes is simple: to provide you with Agates to max out the Frostbearing Tree at Level 12. It’s the final effort to get all the rewards.
Crimson Agate Quantity and the Mystery of Respawn
Let’s review the quantities of Crimson Agates:
- 80 Crimson Agates in Dragonspine.
- 70 Agates needed for Frostbearing Tree Level 8.
You technically have ten extra agates before Crimson Wishes. Some players might find leftover agates if they explored thoroughly before maxing the tree, or didn’t optimize their Wish schedule. So be ready for extra treasures in your inventory.
Now, here’s the key point about respawning: While the original 80 Agates are one-time finds, Crimson Wishes provide a renewable source. Every week lets you collect ten more Crimson Agates (five on Monday and five on Friday).
So, to clarify: The Agates in the wild are limited. Once collected, they are gone. But, Crimson Wishes give bi-weekly chances to keep feeding the Frostbearing Tree.
Dragonspine Exploration Tips: Agate Hunting and Beyond
Exploring Dragonspine is different from other places in Genshin Impact. It involves more than chests and waypoints. The search for Crimson Agates adds a focused purpose.
Exploration in Dragonspine connects to the collection of Crimson Agates. Collecting all 80 and leveling up the Frostbearing Tree increases your exploration percentage. So hunting for Agates is not just about rewards; it’s about completion.
Treasure hunters should know: The Anemo Treasure Compass? Leave it behind. It’s not helpful in Dragonspine. You will rely on your own skills and perhaps an online guide to discover hidden agates.
For Dragonspine’s unbreakable ice, you need Scarlet Quartz. Smash those red crystals to get Scarlet Quartz, which grants an aura allowing you to melt stubborn ice blocks.
If you want to reach Dragonspine’s peak, you must first tackle the “In the Mountains” world quest. Complete this quest, then “Raise the Strange Needle,” to unlock the summit area and Peak of Vindagnyr domain. Access isn’t given freely; earn it through quests.
Lastly, yes, Dragonspine has its own Cryo Statue of the Seven. It’s a vital part of Genshin Impact exploration. If you need healing or a nice view, find the Cryo Statue in Dragonspine.
So there you have it: your guide to Crimson Agates in Genshin Impact’s Dragonspine. Happy hunting, and stay warm!
