Where to Get Crown of Insight in Genshin Impact?
The Crown of Insight is an extremely rare and valuable material used for the final level of talent enhancement (Level 9 to Level 10). These crowns are among the most limited resources in Genshin Impact.
Unlike other materials, Crowns of Insight cannot be farmed repeatedly. They are primarily obtained through two methods: permanent offering systems in each region and as rewards from major limited-time events.
The permanent offering systems that provide Crowns include:
- Fountain of Lucine in Fontaine (Levels 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45)
- Tree of Dreams in Sumeru (Levels 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45)
- Lumenstone Adjuvant in The Chasm (Level 4)
- Sacred Sakura in Inazuma (Levels 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45)
- Frostbearing Tree in Dragonspine (Level 11)
Upgrading these offering systems not only provides Crowns but also various other valuable rewards. Limited-time events are the other major source of Crowns of Insight. Almost every version update (occurring approximately every 6 weeks) features an event that includes Crown as a high-tier reward.
Eroded Scale-Feather Location Genshin Impact
The Eroded Scale-Feather is a weekly boss material dropped by the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire. To access this weekly boss, you must first complete the prerequisite Archon or Story quests that unlock the Trounce Domain. Once unlocked, the boss can be challenged once per week for rewards, with the boss’s location marked on your map and also accessible through the Adventurer’s Handbook.
How to Get Conflict Talent Book in Genshin Impact?
Conflict talent books are available from the Blazing Ruins Domain in Natlan.
| Source Type | Specific Sources | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Domain | • Blazing Ruins Domain (Natlan) | Available on Wednesday/Saturday/Sunday |
| Crafting | • 3 Teachings of Conflict → 1 Guide to Conflict • 3 Guide to Conflict → 1 Philosophies of Conflict | Costs 175 Mora (Teachings→Guide)<br>Costs 225 Mora (Guide→Philosophies) |
Now you know all the materials needed to fully build Varesa when she releases on March 26, 2025. Getting these materials ahead of time will let you level her up right away instead of having to farm everything after you get her. If you want to make the most of your resin, focus on boss materials first since those take the most time to gather. The Saurian materials and Conflict books can be farmed more efficiently right before her release.
With proper planning, you’ll be able to enjoy Varesa’s unique plunging attack playstyle at full strength from day one. Good luck with your wishes, and have fun with your new character!
