Learn how to craft Xiao Lanterns in Genshin Impact for the Lantern Rite event! Gather Lantern Fiber, Wick Material, and Plaustrite Shards with our easy-to-follow guide.
Alright, so you want to craft some Xiao Lanterns for the Lantern Rite event? They're super useful for a bunch of world quests and that fun tower defense game mode, Theater Mechanicus. Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward once you know what you need!
You'll need these three main items to craft a Xiao Lantern:
Lantern Fiber: You get this by harvesting any plant, fruit, or even a pinecone. Seriously, anything you pick from the ground!
Wick Material: This drops from defeating enemies like Hilichurls, Fatui, Abyss Mages, and even some critters like boars and foxes. Regular enemies give you one, while the tougher Elite ones give you two.
Plaustrite Shard: These come from mining ore deposits or by taking down Geovishaps, Hatchlings, and Stonehide Lawachurls. Mining is definitely the faster way to go.
Here’s how to gather them efficiently:
Lantern Fiber
For Lantern Fiber, the best spots are usually places with lots of flora. A super popular spot is the big tree in Windrise, right near the Statue of the Seven. You'll find tons of Windwheel Asters and Snapdragons there. Another great location is Luhua Pool, which is packed with Lotus Heads and other plants. Just harvest away, and you'll rack up plenty of Lantern Fiber in no time!
Wick Material
To get Wick Material, you've got a couple of good options. Farming Hilichurl camps in areas like Wolvendom, Windrise, or Dadaupa Gorge is a solid choice. Alternatively, if you're looking to get some extra goodies, you can farm the Ley Line Outcrop: Blossom of Revelation. You'll fight a bunch of Hilichurls there, and on top of the Wick Material, you'll also get Adventure EXP and Hero's Wits if you spend 20 Original Resin to open the reward. It’s a win-win!
Plaustrite Shard
Plaustrite Shards are easiest to get from mining. Here are some quick spots:
- Spiral Abyss West: Teleport to the Spiral Abyss and head a little west. You'll find about five ore deposits right there, giving you five Plaustrite Shards.
- Dragonspine Chasm: Teleport to the Dragonspine adventure camp, then head north until you reach Dadaupa Gorge. Drop into the chasm, and you'll find several ore deposits down there.
- Brightcrown Canyon Ledge: Teleport to the Brightcrown Canyon waypoint and head northwest a bit. Drop off the ledge, and you'll find about seven ore deposits.
Doing just these three spots should get you over 20 Plaustrite Shards. There are more ore locations, but these are some of the fastest to hit up.
