Gemstones - Where to Find Vajrada Amethyst
This Electro elemental gem is found in a few ways, like the Parametric Transformer, souvenir shops, and from daily commissions. However, most of it will come from defeating the bosses who can drop it, which include the following:
*Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap can only drop Vajrada Amethyst when infused with Electro!

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Specter Drops
Specters are one of the most hated mobs in the game, so it’s unfortunate that Kuki Shinobu uses their materials in her ascension. Nonetheless, if she is going to ascend, the player will need to hunt them down and defeat them (or just purchase them from the Paimon menu shop with Stardust/Starglitter).
These annoying enemies can be found on Seirai Island, Watatsumi Island, and in Enkanomiya. In Enakomiya, they’re found in decent numbers in the Serpent’s Bowels area and on the southernmost island, Kunado’s Locus. A few can also be found dotted around Sumeru.

Boss Drop - How to Get Runic Fang
Unsealing and diving deep into the Chasm in Liyue will allow the player to find and battle the Ruin Serpent. This massive automaton is a boss that will drop Runic Fangs when defeated (and when the player pays the Resin price). This is the boss drop that Kuki Shinobu uses in her ascension.
Local Specialty - Where to Find Naku Weed
For a while,Yoimiya was the only character who uses Naku Weed in their ascension, but now there’s another: Kuki Shinobu. She’ll need a ton of this strange purple plant to ascend, but luckily, it’s pretty easy to find.
Naku Weedcan be found wherever there is high Electro concentration. This includes Seirai Island, Mt. Yougou, and near the Mikage Furnace. It’s also sold by Aoi, the merchant who runs the grocery store in Inazuma City. She sells five of them for 1,000Moraeach, restocking every three days. It can also be grown in the Serenitea Pot!
Kuki Shinobu Talent Materials
The player will need to fight a few more Specters to upgradeKuki Shinobu’stalents. Here’s what else she needs. For a text-only version of Kuki Shinobu’s talent materials,click here.
Talent Level 9 -> 10 (max)
Talent Books - Elegance
Kuki Shinobu joins Ayaka, Itto, the Electro Traveler,Kujou Sara, and her own fellow gang member, Itto, in leveling up her talents with the Elegance books. These can be found by clearing the Violet Court domain on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
Trounce Materials - Tears of the Calamitous God
This trounce material can be obtained by winning the fight against the Shogun in the End of the Oneiric Euthymia trounce. After defeating the Shogun, the player will need to pay the Resin price to claim the rewards.
