Gather all of the required resources for the Dendro character.
After a lengthy wait, the third playable five-star Dendro character is finally about to make his official debut in Genshin Impact. Alhaitham will arrive in Teyvat in Version 3.4 of Genshin which means that any player hoping to add the Dendro character to their roster will want to get to work gathering all of his required materials as soon as possible.
The Dendro character first leaked in July 2022 alongside a whole cast of Sumeru characters and fans have been eagerly waiting to add him to their rosters since. Players have come across him numerous times in their Sumeru adventures but have thus far been unable to attain the character.
Luckily, this is about to change when Version 3.4 officially arrives.

Ascending any playable Genshin character is quite a costly task because players will not only need to gather an abundance of resources but also must spend them and then gather even more until they maximize their character’s level at Ascension level 90. While this is a lengthy task, players will find that leveling up their characters is the most important method for maximizing their potential.
Players will need to work on leveling up their playable characters in two ways. The first is general Ascension, which levels up the character’s overall statistics, and the second is Talents, which focuses on increasing the power of a character’s unique elemental abilities.
Across all character Ascension levels, players will need a total of 420,000 Mora, 46 Pseudo-Stamens, one Nagadus Emerald Sliver, nine Nagadus Emerald Fragment, nine Nagadus Emerald Chunk, six Nagadus Emerald Gemstone, 168 Sand Grease Pupa, 18 Faded Red Satin, 30 Trimmed Red Silk, and 36 Rich Red Brocade.
While this seems like a massive amount of materials, players can slowly ascend Alhaitham as they gather them since each Ascension level requires only some of these assets.
Each of the seven unique elements in Genshin has a specific jewel associated with it. The Dendro jewel that Alhaitham requires is Nagadus Emerald which comes in four variants.
While many materials are only obtainable through one method, Nagadus Emerald can be collected by players in a variety of ways.
Some methods for obtaining other gems, such as purchasing them from Souvenir Shops, are not currently available for Nagadus Emerald. However, they may be added in the future as Teyvat continues to expand and evolve.
This is a new material, arriving alongside Alhaitham in the Version 3.4 update. It will be obtainable by fighting the Setekh Wenut boss located in the new desert region expansion arriving in this update.
The second material required for ascending Alhaitham also isn’t available quite yet but will arrive once Version 3.4 is released. Sand Grease Pupa is a Sumeru local specialty obtained from the desert where Quicksand Eels breed. Players will thus be able to find them around the desert regions of Sumeru and especially in Wenut Tunnels.
One of the few reduces that players can already start farming for Alhaitham is the various levels of Faded Red Satin, which comes in three varieties.
This resource is available in abundance all around Sumeru, with many excellent spots to find the Eremites that drop them.
Talents focus on the specific elemental abilities of the playable characters, raising their overall effectiveness once ascended. Raising Talents is perhaps the most costly aspect of character ascension but is well worth the cost.
To fully raise any one of Alhaitham’s Talents, players will need a total of 1,652,500 Mora, three Teachings of Ingenuity, 21 Guide to Ingenuity, 38 Philosophies of Ingenuity, six Faded Red Satin, 22 Trimmed Red Silk, 31 Rich Red Brocade, one Crown of Insight, and six Mirror of Mushin.
Players can obtain all three levels of this material, which are Teachings of Ingenuity, Guide to Ingenuity, and Philosophies of Ingenuity, from the Steeple of Ignorance Domain in Sumeru. This resource is only available in this Domain on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Fridays.
This resource is exclusively available by taking on Scaramouche in the Joururi Workshop weekly boss battle. Players will obtain this randomly, which means they may instead receive another unique drop they do not want. If this is the case, players can take one of the unique drops from this fight and convert it with one Dream Solvent at any crafting station into the desired Mirror of Mushin.
Genshin’s most exclusive and difficult resource to obtain is the Crown of Insight. As of January 2023, only 29 of them have ever been available for players to collect. This means that it is impossible to level up all character talents and that players must spend this resource very carefully.
