If you have played Genshin Impact, you might already know the purpose of Violetgrass. For those unfamiliar, Violetgrass is a crucial resource for making your characters stronger. It is used for the ascension of both Qiqi and Xinyan, allowing you to enhance their abilities and include them in your party. In this guide, we will explain where to find Violetgrass, how to harvest it, and its uses.
Where to Find Violetgrass in Genshin Impact
There are several locations where you can farm Violetgrass. The largest cluster can be found in the mountains surrounding Mingyun Village. If this area is not unlocked on your map yet, continue progressing through the story, and it will eventually become accessible. For players looking to collect Violetgrass earlier, Qingce Village is a good option, with six Violetgrass plants scattered around. However, these are not grouped together, so some searching is required.
Another area to farm Violetgrass is near the Huaguang Stone Forest. Here, the plants grow on top of stones, requiring some jumping and climbing to collect them. Keep in mind that Violetgrass respawns every two to three real-world days. To maximize your farming efficiency, visit all three locations in one run, so you can gather as much as possible and reduce waiting time. Special thanks to MapGenie for the helpful map resources.
How to Use Violetgrass
The primary use of Violetgrass is for character ascension. Currently, it is used for ascending Qiqi, and in the future, it will also be required for Xinyan. Additionally, Violetgrass is an ingredient in two dishes: Black-Back Perch Stew and Wanmin Restaurant’s Boiled Fish.
For full ascension, you will need 168 Violetgrass for each character, meaning a total of 336 Violetgrass to ascend both Qiqi and Xinyan to their maximum level. Even if you do not have these characters yet, it is a good idea to start farming Violetgrass early, as you may obtain them later in the game.
