Farming Routes for Ascension Materials
Efficiently gathering Durin's ascension materials requires a strategic approach. Knowing where to find each item and planning your routes can save you significant time and resin.
Collect Frostlamp Flowers
Frostlamp Flowers are Durin's local specialty and are crucial for his ascension. They are found scattered around Nodcry, particularly between the Final Night Cemetery and Frostmoon Enclave. These flowers respawn over time, so begin collecting them early. You'll need a total of 168.
Defeat Super-Heavy Landrover: Mechanized Fortress
The Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core is a new boss material introduced in Version 6.2. This material drops from the Super-Heavy Landrover: Mechanized Fortress field boss in Nodcry. This boss will be available upon the release of Version 6.2, so save your Fragile Resin for it. You will need 46 cores.
Hunt Fatui Oprichniki
The various Warrant drops (Tattered, Immaculate, Frostetched) are obtained by defeating Fatui Oprichniki soldiers across Nodcry. These common enemy drops are used for both character and talent ascension, so you'll need a significant amount.
Farm Agnidus Agate Gems
Agnidus Agate gems can be farmed from any Pyro-aligned world boss, such as the Pyro Regisvine or Pyro Hypostasis. Alternatively, you can craft them using the Alchemy Bench if you have other elemental gems and Dust of Azoth.
Frostlamp Flowers and Ballad Talent Books are time-gated. Flowers have a respawn timer, and talent books are only available on specific days. Prioritize these items first to avoid delays in Durin's progression.
Durin Talent Materials: Mastering His Abilities
To maximize Durin's combat effectiveness, you'll need to upgrade his talents. This requires a different set of materials, including talent books, more warrants, and a specific weekly boss drop.
| Talent Material | Total Quantity (All Talents) | Primary Source |
|---|---|---|
| Mora | 4,957,500 | Ley Line Outcrops (Blossom of Wealth), Quests |
| Crown of Insight | 3 | Limited-time events, Offerings (Frostbearing Tree, Sacred Sakura) |
| Eroded Sunfire | 18 | Lord of Eroded Primal Fire (Trounce Domain) |
| Tattered Warrant | 18 | Fatui Oprichniki (Nodcry) |
| Immaculate Warrant | 66 | Fatui Oprichniki (Nodcry) |
| Frostetched Warrant | 93 | Fatui Oprichniki (Nodcry) |
| Teachings of Ballad | 9 | Forsaken Rift Domain (Wed/Sat/Sun) |
| Guides to Ballad | 63 | Forsaken Rift Domain (Wed/Sat/Sun) |
| Philosophies of Ballad | 114 | Forsaken Rift Domain (Wed/Sat/Sun) |
The Ballad Talent Books are farmed from the Forsaken Rift Domain in Mondstadt. They are only available on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Plan your resin usage accordingly to gather these on their designated days.
The Eroded Sunfire is a crucial weekly boss material. You can obtain it by defeating the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire in the Stone Stele Records Trounce Domain. This domain is accessible via the Adventurer Handbook. Remember that weekly boss rewards are limited, so ensure you defeat this boss every week to accumulate the necessary materials for Durin.
Durin's Signature Weapon & Artifacts
Beyond character and talent ascension, optimizing Durin involves equipping him with the right weapon and artifact sets. His signature weapon, Athame Artis, will require its own set of ascension materials.
| Weapon Ascension Material | Total Quantity (Lv. 90) | Primary Source |
|---|---|---|
| Tile of Decarabian's Tower | 5 | Cecilia Garden Domain (Mon/Thu/Sun) |
| Debris of Decarabian's City | 14 | Cecilia Garden Domain (Mon/Thu/Sun) |

Durin is a 5-star Pyro Sword user whose ascension stat is Crit Damage, primarily designed as a sub-DPS. While a tailor-made artifact set might be introduced in future updates, here are some flexible options based on your team and playstyle:
Support Builds
- Noblesse Oblige (4-piece): Boosts Elemental Burst damage and provides ATK buff.
- Tenacity of the Millelith (4-piece): Increases HP and provides ATK buff for the team.
- Archaic Petra (4-piece): Grants Elemental DMG Bonus upon crystallize reaction.
- Deepwood Memories (4-piece): Reduces Dendro RES, useful in Dendro teams.
Damage Builds

For weapons, Athame Artis is Durin's best-in-slot. Other strong 5-star options include Mistsplitter Reforged and Primordial Jade Cutter. For 4-star weapons, Wolf-Fang and Lion's Roar are solid choices, while Favonius Sword or Blackcliff Longsword offer good F2P alternatives. Prioritize Crit stats, followed by Attack and Energy Recharge.
