How to craft Xiao Lantern in Genshin Impact?

To craft a single Xiao Lantern, players will need one of each:

1. Lantern Fiber
2. Wick Material
3. Plaustrite Shard

Lantern Fiber can be obtained by farming harvestable plants such as silk flowers, sweet flowers, and mints. Like a process used to acquire Wick Materials, players will have to kill monsters such as Hilichurls and elite enemies from the Fatui.

To obtain Plaustrite Shard, one must defeat stronger enemies like Geovishap Hatchlings, Geovishaps, and Stonehide Lawachurls. To locate these enemies, players can use the adventurer's handbook and choose the enemy from the navigable menu.
