Who is Zibai in Genshin Impact?
Zibai is an upcoming 5-star Geo sword user hailing from Liyue who will debut in Genshin Impact Luna IV. She’s positioned as the main DPS for the new “Lunar Crystallize” reaction, with her damage scaling heavily with DEF. As a highlight of the Lantern Rite event, Zibai brings fresh gameplay mechanics to the Geo element, making her an exciting addition for players who enjoy Geo team compositions.
What makes Zibai special is her connection to Liyue’s traditions and the Lantern Rite celebration. Her design and abilities reflect the cultural richness of Liyue, making her not just powerful but also thematically significant to the game’s lore. Many players are eagerly awaiting her release, as she represents the first major Geo DPS character in several updates.
Complete Zibai Ascension Materials List
To fully ascend Zibai to level 90, you’ll need the following materials:
| Material | Quantity |
| Prithiva Topaz Sliver | 1 |
| Prithiva Topaz Fragment | 9 |

| Glaze Lily | 168 |
| Tattered Warrant | 18 |
| Immaculate Warrant | 30 |
| Frost-Etched Warrant | 36 |
| Remnant of the Dreadwing | 46 |
| Mora | 420,000 |
The Prithiva Topaz series is standard for Geo characters and can be obtained from the Geo Hypostasis boss or through crafting. The Glaze Lily is a local specialty of Liyue and will require dedicated farming time due to the large quantity needed.
Complete Zibai Talent Materials List
To maximize Zibai’s talents to level 10, you’ll need these materials:
| Material | Quantity |
| Tattered Warrant | 6 |
| Immaculate Warrant | 22 |

| Crown of Insight | 1 |
| Mora | 1,653,000 |
Notice that Zibai shares the Warrant Material group between her ascension and talents, making these materials particularly important to farm early. The Crown of Insight is a limited resource obtained through events, so plan accordingly if you don’t have one saved.
How to Farm Zibai Materials in Genshin Impact?
Where to Find Glaze Lily in Liyue?
Glaze Lily is a local specialty of Liyue and can be found in abundance in two main locations:
- Liyue Harbor: Check around the gardens and near the buildings. There are approximately 40-50 Glaze Lilies scattered throughout the harbor area.
- Qingce Village: The hills and terraces around Qingce Village contain another 30-40 Glaze Lilies.
For efficient farming, follow this route:
- Start at Liyue Harbor and collect all visible Glaze Lilies
- Teleport to Qingce Village and systematically check each terrace
- Return to Liyue Harbor after 48 hours when the plants respawn
Pro tip: Glaze Lilies have a 48-hour respawn timer, so mark your calendar and farm them every two days. If you’re in a hurry, you can also purchase up to 5 Glaze Lilies from Chloris, a NPC who wanders between Windrise and Starfell Lake in Mondstadt.
How to Get Warrant Materials from Fatui Oprichniki?
The Warrant Material group (Tattered, Immaculate, and Frost-Etched) can be obtained by defeating Fatui Oprichniki enemies. Here’s how to farm them efficiently:
- Locations: Fatui Oprichniki can be found primarily in Nod-Krai. Use your Adventurer Handbook to track their exact locations.
- Recommended Team: Use a team with high AoE damage and crowd control. Characters like Venti, Kazuha, or Sucrose work well to group enemies together.
- Farming Strategy: Focus on the Fatui Oprichniki camps in Nod-Krai. Each camp typically has 2-3 enemies, and they respawn relatively quickly.
Alternative method: You can exchange Stardust for Warrant Materials in the shop, though this is less efficient than direct farming.
Where to Farm Books of Gold in Genshin Impact?
The Books of Gold (Teachings, Guide, and Philosophies) can be farmed from the Taishan Mansion Domain in Jueyun Karst, Minlin, Liyue.
Important Notes:
- The domain is only available on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays
- You’ll need 20 Original Resin per run
- Each run rewards 6-9 books depending on difficulty
Recommended Team Composition:
- Pyro DPS (like Diluc or Hu Tao)
- Hydro character (for Vaporize reactions)
- Anemo support (for crowd control)
- Flexible fourth slot (healer or sub-DPS)
The domain features enemies weak to Pyro and Hydro, so bringing characters that can trigger Vaporize reactions will make your runs much faster and more efficient.
What is Remnant of the Dreadwing and How to Get It?
Remnant of the Dreadwing is a new field boss material that will be introduced in Genshin Impact Luna IV. This material will drop from a new field boss added in the upcoming update.
Important Information:
- This material cannot be farmed until Luna IV releases
- The boss is expected to be located in a new area of Liyue
- You’ll need 40 Original Resin per boss fight
- The material is used for both character ascension and weapon enhancement
Preparation Strategy:
- Save your Original Resin closer to Luna IV release
- Level up characters that counter the expected boss element (likely Cryo or Pyro based on the name)
- Plan to farm this material intensively during the first week of Luna IV
How to Obtain Ascended Sample: Queen?
The Ascended Sample: Queen item can be obtained from the Unresolved Chess Game Trounce domain in Mondstadt.
Key Details:
- This is a weekly boss that costs 30 Original Resin
- You can claim rewards once per week (resets every Monday)
- The domain is located near Starsnatch Cliff in Mondstadt
- A Freeze team composition is highly recommended for this domain
Recommended Freeze Team:
- Cryo DPS (like Ganyu or Ayaka)
- Hydro applicator (like Mona or Xingqiu)
- Anemo support (for crowd control and resistance shred)
- Flexible fourth slot (healer or shielder)
The Unresolved Chess Game domain features chess-themed enemies that are particularly vulnerable to Freeze reactions, making a Freeze team the most efficient choice for farming this material.

Total Mora Required: 2,073,000
- Ascension: 420,000 Mora
- Talents: 1,653,000 Mora
Resin Requirements:

Time Investment:

Comparison with Other 5-Star Characters:Zibai’s material requirements are fairly standard for a 5-star character, though the high number of Glaze Lilies (168) makes her slightly more time-consuming than average.

Pro Tips for Efficient Zibai Material Farming
Use Expeditions for Passive Material Collection
- Assign characters to expeditions that can collect Mora and enhancement materials
- This passive income helps offset the massive Mora cost
- Check back every 20 hours to maximize efficiency

- This ensures you get the full benefit of the 48-hour respawn timer
- Plan your domain runs for Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday when Books of Gold are available
Inventory Management Strategies
- Keep your inventory organized to avoid running out of space during farming sessions
- Convert lower-tier materials into higher-tier ones as soon as possible
- Use the crafting system to create Prithiva Topaz gems from fragments and chunks
Co-op Farming Opportunities
- Team up with friends to farm Fatui Oprichniki more efficiently
- Take turns hosting domains to share resin costs
- Coordinate with your friends to cover different farming locations simultaneously
