Crystal Chunk Farming Guide
Crystal Chunks in Genshin Impact is an important material used to forge Mystic Enhancement Ore, gadgets and weapons at the Blacksmith, requiring up to 50 for each item you wish to craft. At some point in the game, you will find yourself short and though you can also obtain ores passively through Expeditions, you may need to dedicate some time to farming them. Here is our guide showing you the best places to farm and the optimal farming route.
Item Information

Item Type | Material |
Description | An uncut crystal. Only professional craftsmanship can bring out its true value. |
Source | Found in the wild Found in Stormterror’s Lair |
Locations
Crystal Chunk nodes in Teyvat are usually found in caves, mountains and mines. Each node can drop between 1 to 3 Crystal Chunks and respawn every 72 hours.
- Mondstadt: Stormterror’s Lair
- Liyue: Qingyun Peak
Crystal Chunks can also spawn in a Rich Ore Reserve, which are spawned independently after daily reset. Certain NPCs in a major city will point out their locations on your map.

How to Quickly Mine Ores

There are three main ways to take down mining nodes more efficiently rather than hitting them aimlessly:
- Ideally, you will be using a character in your exploration team that can use the Claymore weapon type to deal more damage to the nodes per hit.
- If that is not an option, use a Geo ability (preferably on a short cooldown).
- You can also climb up a short distance and use a Plunging Attack aimed at the node.
