Genshin Impact 7.0: How to Unlock and Craft the Snezhnaya Craftable Weapons

Snezhnaya adds five free-to-play four-star weapons in Genshin Impact 7.0, one for every weapon type. Each one is tuned around Elemental Reactions and the new Stellar Glimmer reactions, which makes them strong budget picks for the region’s early cast. You unlock them by buying their diagrams from the local blacksmith and then forging them with region materials.

Quick answer: Buy each weapon diagram from Kuzmichev at the Snezhnograd smithy by trading Snezhnaya specialties, learn the diagram from the Precious Items tab in your inventory, then talk to the blacksmith again and forge the weapon using its matching Borderland Billet, 50 Rainbowdrop Crystal, and 50 White Iron Chunk.

The five Snezhnaya craftable weapons

All five are four-star weapons that become available in the workshop once you learn their diagrams. Their passives reward triggering reactions, and most of them keep working even when the wielder is off-field, which suits support roles.

Weapon	Type	ATK (Lv90)	Secondary
Emberwell	Sword	509.61	165 EM
Covenant of Frost and Snow	Bow	509.61	51.73% DEF
Blade of Atonement	Claymore	564.78	27.56% ATK
Echoes of the Heart	Catalyst	564.78	27.56% ATK
Song of the Vigil	Polearm	564.78	110 EM

Weapon	Passive effect
Emberwell	Triggering a reaction gives +16% ATK for 12s; triggering a Stellar Glimmer reaction adds +16% Stellar Glimmer DMG for 12s. Works off-field.
Covenant of Frost and Snow	Using an Elemental Skill grants +120 Elemental Mastery for 12s.
Blade of Atonement	Triggering a reaction gives +64 Elemental Mastery for 12s; a Stellar Glimmer reaction adds +16% ATK for 12s. Works off-field.
Echoes of the Heart	Triggering a reaction gives +60 Elemental Mastery for 12s; a Stellar Glimmer reaction adds +16% Stellar Glimmer DMG for 12s. Works off-field.
Song of the Vigil	Triggering a reaction restores 4 Energy, once every 9s; a Stellar Glimmer reaction adds +20% ATK for 12s. Works off-field.

Diagram costs for each weapon

You buy a diagram with Snezhnaya local specialties. Every diagram needs 10 Rainbowdrop Crystal plus two region-specific plants or crystals. All of these materials are found in Snezhnaya, so you can gather them while exploring the map.

Diagram	Exchange materials
Emberwell (Sword)	10 Red Beet, 10 Rimecurrant, 10 Rainbowdrop Crystal
Covenant of Frost and Snow (Bow)	10 Glaciafruit, 10 Snowball Flower, 10 Rainbowdrop Crystal
Blade of Atonement (Claymore)	10 Snowball Flower, 10 Red Beet, 10 Rainbowdrop Crystal
Echoes of the Heart (Catalyst)	10 Lumifluorite, 10 Rimecurrant, 10 Rainbowdrop Crystal
Song of the Vigil (Polearm)	10 Lumifluorite, 10 Glaciafruit, 10 Rainbowdrop Crystal

Buy the diagram from the Snezhnograd blacksmith

Travel to Snezhnograd and go to the smithy south of the Adventurer’s Guild. Speak with the blacksmith Kuzmichev and choose the option to buy weapons to open the diagram shop.

Pick the diagram you want and confirm the exchange, spending the listed specialties. The purchase adds the diagram to your inventory as a Precious Item.

Learn the diagram and forge the weapon

Open your inventory and go to the Precious Items tab. Select the diagram you bought and use it to learn the forging recipe.

Return to Kuzmichev and choose the option to have something made. Select the weapon, confirm the materials, and start forging. The forge takes about 10 seconds, after which the finished weapon lands in your inventory.

Every weapon uses the same forging cost aside from the billet type. You need one matching Borderland Billet, plus 50 Rainbowdrop Crystal and 50 White Iron Chunk per weapon. Because craftable weapons can be forged repeatedly, you can make duplicates to raise refinement.

Crafting material	Amount
Matching Borderland Billet	1
Rainbowdrop Crystal	50
White Iron Chunk	50

Where to find the materials

The diagram specialties are spread across Snezhnaya, while the forging materials come from bosses and world nodes. Lumifluorite is the tightest resource, so plan your route around it first.

Material	Where to gather it
Red Beet	Along the path to Morepesok. Teleport to the Inverted Glacier Domain and head north, near the houses and enemy groups.
Rimecurrant	At the foot of the mountain southeast of The Korolevskiy Theater and west of Jack Frost Village, plus the Morepesok path.
Glaciafruit	At the foot of the mountain west of Jack Frost Village. Break the surrounding Prime Ice to reveal three per sprout.
Snowball Flower	Found almost everywhere on the map, including the Red Beet and Glaciafruit routes.
Lumifluorite	Floating in the purple spots marked on the map, with only about 50 in the region. Teleport to nearby waypoints.
Rainbowdrop Crystal	Mainly in Nod-Krai, densest south of Silvermoon Hall, southwest of Starsand Shoal Island, and in the strait south of Amber Lake. Also found in Snezhnaya.
White Iron Chunk	Common in every nation. Stormbearer Mountains and Wolvendom are reliable spots.
Borderland Billet	Earned from the Natlan and Nod-Krai weekly bosses.

Note: Rainbowdrop Crystal is needed for both the diagram and the forge, so it is worth marking the mining nodes and topping up from friends’ worlds with their permission.

Once you press start and the forge timer finishes, the four-star weapon appears in your inventory ready to equip and level. If a diagram is greyed out in the workshop, you have not learned it yet from the Precious Items tab, and if the exchange is blocked, you are short on one of the listed specialties.
