2. Precision Kuuvahki Stamped Duckie

Source: Dropped by Knuckle Duckles above level 30 in Nordland. This is a new boss material added in version 6.0.

It is recommended to prioritize killing this boss during weekly tasks and use the double resin rewards to farm for it.

3. Portable Bearings

A specialty of the Nordic Reach in version 6.0. The official spawn location has been confirmed and will be updated with map markers.

Recommended for collecting during daily commissions and exploration quests.

4. Moonlight Series Talent Books

5. Recommended Farming Routes for Ainor Materials

Boss-Exclusive Drops

Regional Specialties

Portable Bearings: Explore the map daily, collecting according to the official marked routes. Using a dual-wind team is recommended to minimize travel time.

Talent Books and Boss Materials in Parallel

Grind for the Moonlight series of Talent Books on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays, and focus on defeating weekly bosses on weekends to obtain Silk Feathers and Crowns of Insight.

VI. Faster Development Tips

Plan Resin Ahead: Boss materials and talent books require a large amount of resin, so it's recommended to start accumulating them early in the update.

Synthesis Bonus: Use the Alchemy Table's gem synthesis function to convert excess low-level gems into high-level gems.

Grind with Other Characters: If you plan to develop other characters using the same talent books or boss materials, you can focus on farming them together for increased efficiency.

VII. Summary

As a new character in Genshin Impact version 6.0, Aino requires a wide variety of materials for development. Preparing ahead of time not only saves significant time but also allows you to enter battle immediately on the day you acquire her. We hope this guide will help you more efficiently collect the Ascension and Talent materials Aino needs, allowing her to quickly reach her full potential in your team.
