Gemstones and Boss Drops
The core ascension materials include Agnidus Agate and the new boss drop, Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Cores.
| Material | Total Needed | Source | Notes |

The Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core is a crucial item for Durin's ascension but will only be farmable after the Version 6.2 update. Plan to spend your resin on this new boss immediately upon release.
Local Specialty: Frostlamp Flower
These glowing flowers are essential for Durin's ascension and can be pre-farmed.
| Ascension Level | Frostlamp Flowers Needed |
|---|---|
| Level 20 | 3 |
| Level 40 | 10 |
| Level 50 | 20 |
| Level 60 | 30 |
| Level 70 | 45 |
| Level 80 | 60 |
| Total | 168 |
Frostlamp Flower Locations:
- Final Night Cemetery (especially near water sources)
- Frostmoon Enclave (near water sources)
- Eye of Kratti
- Southside of Blue Amber Lake
These flowers respawn every 48 hours, making them a consistent part of your Durin farming schedule. You can also cultivate them in your Serenitea Pot for a slow but steady supply.
Mob Drops: Warrant Materials
These items drop from Fatui enemies in the Nod-Krai region and are needed for both ascension and talent leveling.
| Material | Total Needed (Ascension & Talents) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Tattered Warrant | 36 | Fatui Agents |
| Immaculate Warrant | 96 | Fatui Agents |
| Frost-Etched Warrant | 129 | Fatui Agents |
Lower-tier Warrant materials can be crafted into higher-tier ones at a crafting bench, so focus on farming any Fatui agents you encounter.
Durin Talent Level-Up Requirements
Talents are key to Durin's effectiveness. Optimizing your talent material Durin farming schedule ensures he performs at his peak.
Talent Books: Ballad Series
The Ballad series talent books are farmed from the Forsaken Rift domain.

Weekly Boss Material: Eroded Sunfire

| Material | Total Needed (All Talents to Lvl 10) | Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eroded Sunfire | 18 | Lord of Eroded Primal Fire (Weekly Boss) | Three discounted runs per week. Can be tough, consider co-op. |
For most Durin builds, prioritize his Elemental Burst first, then his Elemental Skill, and finally his Normal Attack. This maximizes his impactful abilities early on.
Preparing Durin's Arsenal: Signature Weapon Materials
If you plan to equip Durin with his signature weapon, Athame Artis, you'll need to include its ascension materials in your Durin farming schedule.
Athame Artis Ascension Materials
| Material | Total Needed | Source | Pre-Farm Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tile of Decarabian's Tower | 5 | Cecilia Garden Domain | Yes |

Fully ascending Durin, leveling all three talents to 10, and ascending his signature weapon will cost over 7 million Mora. Ensure you're farming Ley Line Outcrops for Mora regularly.
