Complete Durin Material Overview
Maximizing Durin's potential as a 5-star Sword user requires a significant investment of resources. As of the May 2026 update, players must navigate multiple regions, including Mondstadt, Natlan, and the newly expanded Nod-Krai, to gather all necessary items. Pre-farming is highly recommended to ensure Durin is combat-ready the moment he joins your roster.
The following breakdown outlines the total resources required to take Durin from Level 1 to 90 and maximize all three of his active talents.
Character Level 90
- 419 Hero's Wit
- 2,092,000 Mora
- 46 World Boss Drops
- 168 Local Specialties
Talents 10/10/10
- 4,957,500 Mora
- 18 Weekly Boss Drops
- 3 Crowns of Insight
- 114 Gold Talent Books
Signature Weapon
- Athame Artis Materials
- Decarabian Tower Series
- Oprichniki Warrants
- 907 Mystic Enhancement Ore
If you are short on Agnidus Agate gemstones, use the Alchemy Bench to convert other elemental gems using Dust of Azoth. This is often faster than repeatedly farming Pyro bosses if you already have a surplus of Hydro or Anemo stones.
| Material Type | Total Required | Primary Source |
|---|---|---|
| Agnidus Agate Sliver | 1 | Pyro Regisvine / Hypostasis |
| Agnidus Agate Fragment | 9 | Pyro Bosses / Alchemy |
| Agnidus Agate Chunk | 9 | Pyro Bosses / Alchemy |
| Agnidus Agate Gemstone | 6 | Pyro Bosses / Alchemy |
| Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core | 46 | Super-Heavy Landrover (Nod-Krai) |
| Frostlamp Flower | 168 | Nod-Krai Local Specialty |
| Tattered Warrant | 36 | Fatui Oprichniki (All Levels) |
| Immaculate Warrant | 96 | Fatui Oprichniki (Lv. 40+) |
| Frostetched Warrant | 129 | Fatui Oprichniki (Lv. 60+) |
Ascension Roadmap and Boss Farming
The core of Durin's progression lies in the Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core, a unique drop from the Super-Heavy Landrover: Mechanized Fortress. This world boss is located in the Nod-Krai region and requires 40 Original Resin to claim rewards. Unlike older bosses, the Landrover features high physical resistance, making Pyro or Elemental-heavy teams more effective for fast clears.
Video Highlights:
- Location of the Super-Heavy Landrover in Nod-Krai.
- Efficient Fatui Oprichniki farming routes for Warrants.
- Frostlamp Flower spawn clusters near the Final Night Cemetery.
- Quick summary of total Mora and XP requirements.
World bosses like the Super-Heavy Landrover take approximately 3 minutes to respawn. Ensure you teleport away from the boss arena to allow the instance to reset properly before returning for another run.
| Ascension Phase | Level Cap | Materials Required | Mora Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 40 | 1x Sliver, 3x Frostlamp, 3x Tattered Warrant | 20,000 |
| Phase 2 | 50 | 3x Fragment, 2x Core, 10x Frostlamp, 15x Tattered Warrant | 40,000 |
| Phase 3 | 60 | 6x Fragment, 4x Core, 20x Frostlamp, 12x Immaculate Warrant | 60,000 |
| Phase 4 | 70 | 3x Chunk, 8x Core, 30x Frostlamp, 18x Immaculate Warrant | 80,000 |
| Phase 5 | 80 | 6x Chunk, 12x Core, 45x Frostlamp, 12x Frostetched Warrant | 100,000 |
| Phase 6 | 90 | 6x Gemstone, 20x Core, 60x Frostlamp, 24x Frostetched Warrant | 120,000 |
Local Specialty: Frostlamp Flower Routes
The Frostlamp Flower is a rare flora found exclusively in the frigid zones of Nod-Krai. These flowers are concentrated in two primary locations: the Final Night Cemetery and the Frostmoon Enclave. Because they are a local specialty, they only respawn every 48 hours (real-world time). If you are in a hurry to reach Level 90, you may need to visit the worlds of friends or use the Co-op matching system.
Final Night Cemetery Loop
Start at the southern waypoint of the Cemetery. Move in a clockwise circle around the perimeter. These flowers often hide behind stone monuments and under withered trees.
Frostmoon Enclave Descent
Teleport to the high cliffs of the Enclave. Glide down toward the frozen lake. Most Frostlamp Flowers grow near the water's edge where the ice meets the shoreline.
Oprichniki Cleanup
While gathering flowers, you will encounter Fatui Oprichniki. Defeat them immediately to collect the Tattered, Immaculate, and Frostetched Warrants required for both ascension and talents.
Equip a character with a "Local Specialty Radar" passive (like Tighnari or Lyney, depending on the region's classification) to see the Frostlamp Flower icons on your mini-map. This significantly reduces the time spent searching in the dark terrain of Nod-Krai.
Farming Readiness Checklist:
- Unlock all Nod-Krai Teleport Waypoints
- Stockpile 40+ Fragile Resin for boss drops
- Mark Frostlamp locations on your custom map
- Prepare a Pyro-resistant team for the Landrover boss
- Clear the 'Stone Stele Records' domain in Natlan
Talent Level-Up & Weekly Boss Materials
To push Durin's damage to the limit, you must focus on the Ballad series talent books and the Eroded Sunfire weekly drop. The Ballad books are found in the Forsaken Rift domain in Mondstadt. It is one of the older domains, featuring a Cryo aura that drains stamina, so bring a dedicated healer or a Pyro shielder like Thoma or Bennett to mitigate the debuffs.
For the high-level talent ranks (7 through 10), you will need the Eroded Sunfire. This is obtained by defeating the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire within the Stone Stele Records Trounce Domain in Natlan. You can only claim rewards from this boss once per week.
| Talent Level | Book Requirements | Enemy Drop | Weekly Boss / Crown | Mora |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 3x Teachings | 6x Tattered | - | 12,500 |
| 4 | 4x Guide | 4x Immaculate | - | 25,000 |
| 6 | 9x Guide | 9x Immaculate | - | 37,500 |
| 8 | 6x Philosophy | 6x Frostetched | 1x Eroded Sunfire | 260,000 |
| 10 | 16x Philosophy | 12x Frostetched | 2x Eroded Sunfire, 1x Crown | 700,000 |
Since the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire only drops a limited number of Eroded Sunfires per week, use your Dream Solvent at the Alchemy Bench to convert other drops from the same boss if you get the wrong material.
Signature Weapon: Athame Artis
Durin's signature sword, Athame Artis, complements his Pyro kit perfectly. However, it requires its own set of materials that differ from Durin's character needs. The primary weapon ascension material is the Decarabian series, which can be farmed from the Cecilia Garden domain in Mondstadt on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
| Weapon Level | Primary Material | Elite Enemy Drop | Common Enemy Drop |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | 5x Tile of Decarabian | 5x Heavy Horn | 3x Tattered Warrant |
| 40 | 5x Debris of Decarabian | 18x Heavy Horn | 12x Tattered Warrant |
| 60 | 9x Fragment of Decarabian | 9x Black Crystal Horn | 9x Immaculate Warrant |
| 80 | 6x Scattered Piece | 27x Black Crystal Horn | 18x Frostetched Warrant |
Don't forget that Cecilia Garden (Decarabian materials) and Forsaken Rift (Ballad books) share Sunday availability. Plan your resin usage carefully to ensure you don't miss out on weapon progression while focusing on talents.
