Hey Travelers! Looking for dandelion seeds in Genshin Impact? You've come to the right place! This guide will show you exactly where to find them, how to farm them efficiently, and why you even need them in the first place. Dandelion Seeds are crucial for ascending certain characters and crafting essential items, so let's dive in and get you stocked up!

What are Dandelion Seeds and Why Do You Need Them?

Dandelion Seeds, those fluffy little things floating around in the wind, are a local specialty of Mondstadt. In Genshin Impact, they're used primarily for character ascension and crafting. Specifically, they are needed for:

  • Character Ascension: Primarily for ascending Jean, the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, and Eula, the Spindrift Knight.
  • Crafting: Creating Anemoculus Resonance Stones (to help find Anemoculi) and Windbarrier Potions (to increase Anemo resistance).

So, if you're planning on leveling up Jean or Eula, or if you're exploring Mondstadt and want to make finding those pesky Anemoculi easier, you'll need a good supply of Dandelion Seeds. The good news is, they're relatively easy to find once you know where to look. But before running off, you should know that you can't just pick Dandelion Seeds right off the plant like other materials. Oh no, Mihoyo made it a little more interesting than that. To 'harvest' the seeds you must use an Anemo ability on the dandelion! Any Anemo character will do the trick.

Dandelion Seed Locations: The Ultimate Map

The best place to farm Dandelion Seeds is in Mondstadt. They're scattered all over the region, but some spots are definitely better than others. Here are the key locations you should focus on:

Mondstadt City Gates

This is probably the most popular and easiest spot to farm Dandelion Seeds. Right outside the gates of Mondstadt City, you'll find a large cluster of dandelion plants. Simply teleport to the Mondstadt City waypoint, run forward, and you'll see them immediately. This area is great because the dandelions are close together, making for quick and efficient farming. Remember to use an Anemo ability to collect the seeds!

Starfell Valley

Starfell Valley, located just north of Mondstadt, also has a decent number of Dandelion Seeds. Check around the cliffs and open fields in this area. While they're not as concentrated as at the Mondstadt City Gates, you can still gather a good amount here. Just teleport to one of the waypoints in Starfell Valley and explore the surrounding area.

Dawn Winery

The Dawn Winery is another excellent location for farming Dandelion Seeds. You can find them scattered around the winery grounds, particularly near the grapevines. Teleport to the Dawn Winery waypoint and search the area thoroughly. You will usually find them near the road that winds up the hill to the Winery as well.

Other Locations

While the above locations are the most efficient, you can also find Dandelion Seeds in smaller quantities in other areas of Mondstadt, such as:

  • Windrise: Around the large tree.
  • Stormterror's Lair: Sparsely scattered throughout the area.

Remember to use the interactive map tools available online to pinpoint the exact locations of Dandelion Seeds. These maps are incredibly helpful for planning your farming routes.

Efficient Farming Tips for Dandelion Seeds

Alright, so now you know where to find Dandelion Seeds. But how do you farm them efficiently? Here are some tips to maximize your haul:

  • Use an Anemo Character: As mentioned earlier, you need an Anemo character to harvest Dandelion Seeds. Characters like the Anemo Traveler, Jean, Venti, Sucrose, Sayu, and Xiao are all excellent choices. Just use their elemental skill or burst on the dandelion plant to release the seeds.
  • Plan Your Route: Optimize your farming route by starting at one location and moving to the next in a logical order. For example, start at the Mondstadt City Gates, then head to Starfell Valley, and finally to Dawn Winery. This will minimize travel time and maximize your seed collection.
  • Use Interactive Maps: Online interactive maps are your best friend when it comes to farming resources in Genshin Impact. These maps show the exact locations of Dandelion Seeds and other materials, making it easy to plan your route and find every last seed.
  • Remember the Respawn Time: Dandelion Seeds, like most resources in Genshin Impact, have a respawn time. Generally, they respawn every 48 hours. So, once you've cleared out all the Dandelion Seeds in an area, you'll have to wait two days before they reappear. Keep this in mind when planning your farming schedule.
  • World Level Matters: Higher World Levels generally mean more resources available. If you're struggling to find enough Dandelion Seeds, consider increasing your World Level (but only if you're confident in your team's ability to handle the tougher enemies).

Characters Who Need Dandelion Seeds

As previously mentioned, Dandelion Seeds are primarily used for ascending two characters: Jean and Eula. Let's take a closer look at why these characters need them:

Jean

Jean, the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, is a powerful Anemo character who excels as both a healer and a damage dealer. She requires Dandelion Seeds for her ascension at the following levels:

  • Level 20: 3 Dandelion Seeds
  • Level 40: 10 Dandelion Seeds
  • Level 50: 20 Dandelion Seeds
  • Level 60: 30 Dandelion Seeds
  • Level 70: 45 Dandelion Seeds
  • Level 80: 60 Dandelion Seeds

In total, you'll need 168 Dandelion Seeds to fully ascend Jean. She is a must-have character, especially for those who need healing and crowd control. So, buckle down and get farming!

Eula

Eula, the Spindrift Knight, is a formidable Cryo character who deals massive physical damage. She also requires Dandelion Seeds for her ascension at the same levels as Jean:

  • Level 20: 3 Dandelion Seeds
  • Level 40: 10 Dandelion Seeds
  • Level 50: 20 Dandelion Seeds
  • Level 60: 30 Dandelion Seeds
  • Level 70: 45 Dandelion Seeds
  • Level 80: 60 Dandelion Seeds

Like Jean, you'll need a total of 168 Dandelion Seeds to fully ascend Eula. Her ability to deal massive damage makes her a valuable asset to any team, so farming those Dandelion Seeds is well worth the effort. If you're looking for a main DPS character, then Eula is worth considering. She can hit like a truck!

Crafting with Dandelion Seeds

Besides character ascension, Dandelion Seeds are also used in crafting certain items. Here are the key crafting recipes that require them:

Anemoculus Resonance Stone

The Anemoculus Resonance Stone is a handy gadget that helps you locate nearby Anemoculi, which are essential for leveling up the Statues of the Seven in Mondstadt. To craft an Anemoculus Resonance Stone, you'll need:

  • 5 Dandelion Seeds
  • 5 Cecilia
  • 2 Crystal Chunks

This gadget can save you a lot of time and effort when searching for those elusive Anemoculi, so it's well worth crafting a few if you're exploring Mondstadt.

Windbarrier Potion

The Windbarrier Potion increases your character's Anemo resistance, which can be useful when fighting enemies that deal Anemo damage, such as the Stormterror Dvalin. To craft a Windbarrier Potion, you'll need:

  • 1 Dandelion Seed
  • 1 Crystal Core

While not as essential as the Anemoculus Resonance Stone, the Windbarrier Potion can be helpful in specific situations. So, if you're planning on tackling Stormterror's Lair, consider brewing a few of these potions.

Conclusion: Happy Dandelion Seed Hunting!
