If you’ve recently acquired Xiao in Genshin Impact, maximizing his power involves ascending him to level 90 as swiftly as possible. Here’s a comprehensive guide on gathering all the necessary materials to enhance your Xiao!
Character Ascension
Primo Geovishap
Xiao’s ascension requires Juvenile Jades, which drop from the Primo Geovishap in Liyue. These creatures are randomly imbued with Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo elements, identifiable by the color of their bodies. Given their enhanced resistance to both Geo and their imbued element, adjusting your team composition may be necessary for efficient farming. Ensure you bring along a shielder!
You’ll need a total of 46 Juvenile Jades, which typically necessitates around 18 boss encounters or approximately 720 Resin at World Level 8.
Qingxin
Qingxin, white flowers found atop the mountains of Liyue, are essential for Xiao’s ascension. Although reaching these flowers can be challenging, they are abundant across the Liyue mountaintops, particularly with the Chasm and Chenyu Vale map expansions.
A total of 168 Qingxin is required for Xiao’s ascension. Fortunately, the abundance of these flowers across the map should provide ample supply.
Slime Condensate
Slime enemies, ubiquitous throughout Teyvat, yield materials necessary for Xiao’s ascension, irrespective of their element.
To fully ascend Xiao, you’ll require 18 Slime Condensate, 30 Slime Secretions, and 36 Slime Concentrate—additional amounts if you intend to enhance his talents.
Vayuda Turquoise
Being an Anemo character, Xiao utilizes Vayuda Turquoises for his ascension. Unfortunately, his primary boss, the Primo Geovishap, doesn’t drop Vayuda Turquoises, necessitating acquisition from other sources. If you lack sufficient quantities in your inventory, consider converting elemental gems to Anemo using Dust of Azoth, obtainable with Starglitter.
Xiao requires 1 Sliver, 9 Fragments, 9 Chunks, and 6 Gemstones of Vayuda Turquoise.
Talent Levels
Prosperity Books
Xiao’s talents rely on Prosperity books, obtainable from the Liyue Talent domain on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
To fully level Xiao’s talents, you’ll need 9 brown books, 63 silver books, and 114 gold books, amounting to approximately 2,480 Resin, contingent on your fortune.
Slime Condensate
Slimes, prevalent across all regions of Teyvat, consistently drop materials essential for Xiao’s talent enhancement.
To level Xiao’s talents from 1 to 10, you’ll require 18 Slime Condensate, 66 Slime Secretions, and 93 Slime Concentrate.
Shadows of the Warrior
As an older character, Xiao’s weekly boss materials consist of Shadows of the Warrior, obtainable from Childe in The Golden House. These materials resemble glass vials with flickering flames inside.
Xiao requires a total of 18 Shadows for talent enhancement, equating to approximately 8 weeks of farming, depending on your drop rate.
