What is the best way to farm Naku Weed in Genshin Impact?

Naku Weed is a regional specialty found exclusively in Inazuma, and it is a crucial resource for ascending characters like Yoimiya and Kirara. Farming Naku Weed efficiently requires a good understanding of its locations, respawn mechanics, and the tools available to optimize your farming route. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide to help you gather Naku Weed effectively.

Naku Weed is a plant that grows in clusters, often near areas with high Electro concentration, such as near Thunder Sakura Boughs or Electro-infused terrain. It has a distinctive purple glow, making it easier to spot at night or in darker areas. Each Naku Weed cluster yields one Naku Weed, and they respawn every 48 hours after being collected. This respawn timer is shared with other regional specialties, so itÔÇÖs important to keep track of when you last farmed them.

To begin farming Naku Weed, you should first unlock the Inazuma region by completing the Archon Quest "Chapter II: Act I - The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia." Once you have access to Inazuma, you can start exploring the islands where Naku Weed is found. The primary locations for Naku Weed are Tatarasuna on Kannazuka Island, Yashiori Island, and Seirai Island. Tatarasuna is particularly rich in Naku Weed, with clusters scattered around the Mikage Furnace and the surrounding cliffs. Yashiori Island has Naku Weed near the SerpentÔÇÖs Head and the areas around the Musoujin Gorge. Seirai Island also has a few clusters, especially near the Amakumo Peak.

A good strategy is to start your farming route in Tatarasuna, as it has the highest concentration of Naku Weed. Begin at the Teleport Waypoint near the Mikage Furnace and work your way around the cliffs and hillsides. Use your mini-map to spot the purple glow of Naku Weed, and mark the locations on your map if you find it helpful. After clearing Tatarasuna, move to Yashiori Island and then Seirai Island to collect the remaining Naku Weed. This route ensures you cover the most ground efficiently.

One important tip is to use characters with exploration talents to make farming easier. Characters like Qiqi and Yanfei, who have passive talents that mark nearby regional specialties on the mini-map, can be incredibly helpful. QiqiÔÇÖs "Life-Prolonging Methods" and YanfeiÔÇÖs "Encyclopedic Expertise" will highlight Naku Weed within a certain range, saving you time and effort. Additionally, using a character with increased movement speed, such as Sayu or Kaeya, can help you traverse the terrain more quickly.

When farming Naku Weed, itÔÇÖs also important to consider the time of day. Naku Weed is easier to spot at night due to its glowing effect, so you might want to adjust the in-game time to nighttime using the Paimon Menu. This can make it easier to locate clusters, especially in areas with dense foliage or uneven terrain.

A common mistake to avoid is not marking the locations of Naku Weed on your map. While the mini-map can help you spot nearby clusters, marking the locations youÔÇÖve already collected from can prevent you from revisiting the same spots unnecessarily. Additionally, make sure to check the respawn timer. If you farm Naku Weed on Monday, for example, you should wait until Wednesday to farm the same locations again.

For advanced optimization, consider using the interactive map available on the official Genshin Impact website or third-party tools like the HoYoLAB app. These tools allow you to mark all Naku Weed locations and plan the most efficient route. You can also use the NRE (Nutritional Ready-to-Eat) gadget to quickly heal your characters without interrupting your farming route, especially if youÔÇÖre exploring areas with hostile enemies.

In terms of team composition, you donÔÇÖt need a specific team for farming Naku Weed, but having a balanced team can help you deal with any enemies you encounter. A team with a healer, such as Barbara or Bennett, can ensure your characters stay healthy during exploration. A character with crowd control, like Venti or Sucrose, can help you deal with groups of enemies quickly. If youÔÇÖre farming in areas with Electro enemies, consider bringing a character with strong Electro resistance or a shield, like Zhongli or Diona.

Artifacts and weapons are not crucial for farming Naku Weed, but equipping your characters with artifacts that boost stamina or movement speed can make the process smoother. The WandererÔÇÖs Troupe set, for example, increases movement speed, while the Scholar set reduces stamina consumption. Weapons like the Skyward Blade or the Favonius Sword can also provide energy regeneration, allowing you to use elemental skills more frequently to clear enemies.

In summary, farming Naku Weed efficiently involves understanding its locations, using characters with exploration talents, and planning a clear route. By following these strategies and avoiding common mistakes, you can gather Naku Weed quickly and effectively, ensuring you have enough resources to ascend your characters.
