  2. Shivada Jade Fragment
  3. Shivada Jade Chunk

For Shivada Jade materials, Ganyu needs 1 Shivada Jade Sliver, 9 Shivada Jade Fragment, 9 Shivada Jade Chunk, and 6 Shivada Jade Gemstone.

Every character in Genshin Impact needs a local specialty to ascend to a higher level, and Ganyu is no exception. She needs 168 Qingxin, a local specialty found in the wild all over Genshin Impact's Liyue.

More specifically, Qingxin may be found on Liyue's mountaintops and peaks, and several can be found in Minlin and Wuwang Hill. In addition, Qinglian at Stone Gate, Liyue also gives Qingxin to players after completing a dialogue for the first time.


3) Whopperflower/Shimmering/Energy Nectar

Nectar dropped from Whopperflower that can be found all over Teyvat can be used to ascend Ganyu's level and talent level in Genshin Impact. For Ganyu's ascension, she needs:

  1. 18 Whopperflower Nectar
  2. 30 Shimmering Nectar
  3. 36 Energy Nectar

Meanwhile, if players want to increase Ganyu's talent level, they need to collect another set of Nectars:

  1. 18 Whopperflower Nectar
  2. 66 Shimmering Nectar
  3. 93 Energy Nectar

The total above will increase Ganyu's ascension and level to maximum level.


4) Teachings/Guides/Philosophies of Diligence

After collecting Nectar materials, players can start farming for another Talent Level-Up Material. In the Domain of Mastery: Heart of Flames, gamers can collect Teachings, Guides, and Philosophies of Diligence.

It's essential to note that the rewards change daily, and the Diligence books can only be obtained on Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday. In total, Ganyu needs 9 Teachings of Diligence, 63 Guides of Diligence, and 114 Philosophies of Diligence to increase her talent level from 1 to 10.


5) Shadow of the Warrior

The last material required is Shadow of the Warrior, a Character Level-Up Material obtained after defeating Tartaglia in the Enter the Golden House Domain. This material needs to be farmed if players intend to increase Ganyu's talent level above level 6.

In other words, Ganyu needs 18 Shadow of the Warrior to upgrade her talent level from level 7 to 10.

As mentioned before, Ganyu is the best DPS in Genshin Impact. Therefore, wishing for her when her rerun banner arrives will benefit players who lack proper damage dealers.
