Vesna is a 5-star Anemo Sword character arriving in Genshin Impact 7.1, and nearly all of the items she needs are already sitting in Snezhnaya’s overworld and domains. Building her stockpile early means you can take her to Level 90 and raise her talents the moment her banner goes live.
Quick answer: You can pre-farm everything Vesna needs except Vagabond’s Cracked Armor, which drops from a new world boss added in Version 7.1.
Vesna ascension materials for Level 90
Taking Vesna through all six ascension phases to Level 90 requires the following totals, alongside 420,000 Mora and the usual EXP books.
| Material | Total |
|---|---|
| Vayuda Turquoise Sliver | 1 |
| Vayuda Turquoise Fragment | 9 |
| Vayuda Turquoise Chunk | 9 |
| Vayuda Turquoise Gemstone | 6 |
| Golden Fern | 168 |
| Ethereal Glimmershard | 18 |
| Ethereal Crystal | 30 |
| Ethereal Crystalscale Stone | 36 |
| Vagabond’s Cracked Armor | 46 |
Vagabond’s Cracked Armor is the only ascension item you cannot collect before Version 7.1, so plan farming trips around the other eight.
Vesna talent level-up materials
Raising all three of Vesna’s talents to Level 10 costs roughly 4,957,500 Mora plus the items below. If you only intend to max one or two talents, scale these numbers down accordingly.
| Material | Total |
|---|---|
| Teachings of Glory | 9 |
| Guide to Glory | 63 |
| Philosophies of Glory | 114 |
| Ethereal Glimmershard | 18 |
| Ethereal Crystal | 66 |
| Ethereal Crystalscale Stone | 93 |
| Profaned Sprout | 18 |
| Crown of Insight | 3 |
Where to farm each material
Vayuda Turquoise gems
The Sliver, Fragment, Chunk, and Gemstone tiers come from Anemo field bosses and certain overworld enemies. Check your Adventurer’s Handbook to confirm which foes drop them, and use a bench with Dust of Azoth to convert other elemental gems if you fall short.
Golden Fern
Golden Fern is a Snezhnayan local specialty. It grows in large clusters around Rankova Zorya and Flamefeather Valley, so a single sweep of those areas covers most of the 168 you need.
Ethereal enemy drops
Ethereal Glimmershard, Ethereal Crystal, and Ethereal Crystalscale Stone all drop from the Fae of Crystalline Flesh enemies scattered across Snezhnaya. Lower-level foes drop the basic tier, while stronger ones yield the higher grades.
Glory talent books
Teachings, Guide, and Philosophies of Glory are farmed from the Snezhnaya talent domain, Relics of the Fallen Grace, which opens on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Profaned Sprout
Profaned Sprout drops from the weekly boss Il Dottore in the Binding Field of Universal Nirvana Trounce Domain. Since weekly bosses reset once per week, start clearing this fight now to build toward the 18 needed.
Vagabond’s Cracked Armor
This boss drop comes from a new enemy introduced in Version 7.1, so it cannot be gathered ahead of time. Prioritize this fight once the update goes live to finish her ascension.
Beyond the Chrysalis signature weapon materials
If you plan to pair Vesna with her 5-star signature sword, Beyond the Chrysalis, you will need the following items to fully refine and level it.
| Material | Total |
|---|---|
| Rise of the Pale Star Army | 5 |
| Muster of the Pale Star Army | 14 |
| Clarion of the Pale Star Army | 14 |
| Triumph of the Pale Star Army | 6 |
| Chimeric Core | 15 |
| Symbiotic Chimeric Nucleus | 23 |
| Prime Chimeric Nexus | 27 |
| Hollow Root of Life | 23 |
| Sprout Node of Life | 27 |
| Coiled Core of Life | 41 |
The four Pale Star Army items are farmed from the Snezhnaya weapon domain, Scars of Cursed Obsession, on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays. The Chimeric Core, Symbiotic Chimeric Nucleus, and Prime Chimeric Nexus come from Aberrant Chimeric Monsters, while Hollow Root of Life, Sprout Node of Life, and Coiled Core of Life drop from Wildwood Leshy enemies found across the region.
What to prioritize before release
Focus first on the two items with weekly or gathering limits. Clear Il Dottore each week for Profaned Sprout, and sweep Rankova Zorya and Flamefeather Valley for Golden Fern, since respawns take real time. The Fae drops, Vayuda Turquoise, and Glory books can all be topped up as your resin allows.
Once Version 7.1 arrives, the only outstanding task is farming Vagabond’s Cracked Armor from the new world boss. With everything else banked, you will be able to ascend Vesna, level her talents, and slot her into a team on day one.
