Lost in Dragonspine? Your Funny Guide to Finding Starsilver in Genshin Impact
You wander in Genshin Impact. You freeze in Dragonspine. You heard about “Starsilver.” You need it. Everyone needs Starsilver eventually. It’s like duct tape for Teyvat. Not for fixing cars. More like for fixing… your Dragonspine Spear? Yes, it’s crucial.
Where do you find this shiny, elusive stuff? Buckle up, adventurer. The answer is simple but inconvenient if you do not hang out with cryo slimes.
Starsilver: Dragonspine’s Bright Secret (Not Truly Secret)
Let’s be direct: Starsilver can only be mined in Dragonspine. That snowy region stuck in winter. If you search Mondstadt or Liyue, stop right now. You waste resin time that could be spent… still farming, but in the right place.
Think of Dragonspine as the hub for Starsilver. It’s scattered like snowflakes, but these snowflakes are useful. Watch out for those glittering ore veins as you roam the icy landscape.
What is Starsilver Used For? (Besides Being Pretty)
You braved the cold and found some Starsilver. Well done! What now? Is it just shiny rocks? Nope. Starsilver has useful uses, especially for Dragonspine-themed weaponry.
Crafting the Dragonspine Spear (Swords are So Last Season)
Heard of the “Dragonspine Spear,” also called “Prototype Archaic”? This weapon needs Starsilver. But don’t just toss ore at a blacksmith. You have to embark on a quest first because Genshin Impact loves making you work.
This quest, “The Festering Fang,” starts when you find a “Strange Tooth.” It isn’t as gross as it sounds. Pick it up—this begins the quest. You’ll gather items (and likely fight hilichurls), and eventually, you’ll need Starsilver to forge the spear. Those sparkly rocks are essential.
Forging the Snow-Tombed Starsilver (Claymores are Always In Style)
Not into spears? Prefer something chunkier? Try the Snow-Tombed Starsilver claymore. Starsilver is in the name, so here we go.
To unlock its crafting recipe, enter the hidden Mural Room in Dragonspine. Find the chamber, solve puzzles (because Genshin loves puzzles), and you’ll earn a chest. Inside is the Memory of the Entombed City Diagram, your crafting blueprint for the Snow-Tombed Starsilver.
Between spears and claymores, Starsilver is vital for your characters. Don’t underestimate a good thematic weapon!
The Agonizing Wait: Starsilver Respawn Time (Patience is Key… or is it?)
You’ve mined all the Starsilver in Dragonspine. You feel productive. Ready to craft a ton of Dragonspine Spears. Then you realize… more Starsilver is needed. The veins are… gone.
Prepare for a test of patience, my friend. Starsilver Ore takes about 48 hours to respawn. Yes, two days. This can be frustrating, especially when crafting and suddenly hitting an ore-shaped wall.
The lesson here is: plan ahead. Don’t wait until you need a lot of Starsilver to start farming. Mine it gradually as you explore Dragonspine to avoid the dreaded 48-hour waiting time.
Happy Starsilver hunting! And try not to freeze to death while doing it. Dragonspine isn’t known for its tropical climate.
