Liyue Specialties Guide: Complete Farming Locations for All Local Materials

If you’re a Genshin player struggling to progress your character, collecting regional materials is definitely one you should not leave out in your daily runs. Not to mention that understanding where to find Liyue specialties can save you hours of aimless exploration. They are unique resources that are crucial in character ascensions for your favorite characters from the City of Contracts.

Liyue specialties include both the general cultural items found throughout the region and the more specific Liyue local specialties. Unlike common materials that appear across multiple regions, these grow exclusively in Liyue's mountainous terrain, coastal areas, and hidden caves.
Keep in mind that Liyue specialties and Mondstadt specialties grow in their respective regions and can only be tracked by characters from the regions they belong to as well.
