According to the leak, there are four artifact ascension materials of four different rarity levels.

1. Sanctifying Droplet (1 star): Used to ascend an artifact to Phase 1
2. Sanctifying Water (2 stars): Used to ascend an artifact to Phase 2
3. Sanctifying Spring (3 stars): Used to ascend an artifact to Phase 3
4. Sanctifying Essence (4 stars): Used to ascend an artifact to Phase 4

The leak was brought to the Genshin Impact community's attention by Genshin Impact Info and updates. It's a Facebook page that provides leaks and updates regarding Genshin Impact.

To upgrade artifacts currently, players need to dismantle their spare artifacts to upgrade the required ones. Artifact farming is getting tough due to lack of original resin and a huge RNG factor in the endgame (AR50+).

If the leaks are accurate, this material might help solve the struggle to level up artifacts and fasten the farming process. It might also encourage players to build multiple characters simultaneously
