How to get Vayuda Turquoise gems?

Vayuda Turquoise Slivers, Fragments, Chunks, and Gemstones are materials exclusively used by Anemo characters in the game. Players can obtain them from Anemo world and weekly bosses such as the Everlasting Lord of Arcane Wisdom, Stormterror Dvalin, Algorithm of Semi-Intransient Matrix of Overseer Network, Anemo Hypostasis, Icewind Suite, Maguu Kenki, Setekh Wenut, Solitary Suanni, and Tenebrous Papilla.

Vayuda Turquoise Gemstones come in different tiers, and if you want to convert them, you can use the crafting table, which is available in every region of the game.

How to get Prismatic Severed Tail 

The boss material for Varka’s character ascension is the Prismatic Severed Tail. This material is obtained from the Radiant Moongecko, a new world boss expected to be released in version 6.4 alongside Varka. It is currently unavailable in the live version of the game, but if you want to upgrade Varka on day one, make sure to save some resins for him! 

How to get Wolfhook

Wolfhook is one of the oldest materials in the game. It can be found in the Wolvendom area of Windwail Highland, Mondstadt.

A total of 168 Wolfhooks is needed to fully level up Varka. However, players can only obtain 35 per world before they respawn after two days. While that isn’t enough to meet the full requirement, the good news is that you can visit other players’ worlds and farm there as well.

To make your life much easier, here are the specific locations for each Wolfhook. We also recommend using a Genshin Impact interactive map!
