Detailed Farming Guide for Iluga Materials
1. Prithiva Topaz Series
Where to Farm:
- Geo Hypostasis (Mondstadt)
- Wolf of the North Challenge (Mondstadt)
- Azhdaha (Liyue)
- Ruin Serpent (Sumeru)
- Experimental Field Generator (Fontaine)
Farming Strategy: I recommend focusing on Azhdaha as your primary source since it drops both the Geo gems and other valuable materials. You can fight Azhdaha once per week for free, and it’s one of the most efficient weekly bosses for Geo character materials.
Pro Tip: Use resin refreshes on days when you’re specifically farming for Geo gems, and consider using the Adventurer Handbook to track boss respawn times.
2. Pine Amber (New Material)
Where to Farm: Pine Amber is a new local specialty that will be introduced with the Luna IV update in the Nod-Krai region. Based on the naming convention and previous patterns, this material will likely be found in the new map areas.
Pre-Farming Strategy: Since Pine Amber won’t be available until Luna IV launches, you can’t pre-farm this specific material. However, you can prepare by:
- Saving up Original Resin for the Luna IV launch
- Completing Nod-Krai exploration quests to unlock all farming areas
- Checking community resources for optimal farming routes once the update releases
3. Drive Shaft Materials
Where to Farm: Drive Shaft materials drop from Landcruiser enemies found throughout the Nod-Krai region. These enemies are typically located in areas with numerous Automatons.
Specific Locations:
- Nod-Krai Region: Various Landcruiser spawn points
- Automaton-heavy areas: Higher concentration of these enemies
- Use Adventurer’s Guide: Track Landcruisers through the Enemy section
Farming Strategy: I’ve found that the most efficient way to farm Drive Shaft materials is to:
- Use the Adventurer’s Guide to locate Landcruiser groups
- Focus on areas with high enemy density
- Use AoE characters for faster clears
- Farm during cooldown periods of other materials
Material Conversion: Remember that you can convert lower-tier materials to higher-tier ones using the crafting system, which can be more resin-efficient than farming specific tiers.
4. Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core
Where to Farm: This boss material drops from the Super-Heavy Landrover: Mechanized Fortress, introduced in the Luna III update.
Location:
- Kuuvahki Experimental Design Bureau (Nod-Krai region)
Farming Strategy: The Super-Heavy Landrover is a normal boss that costs 40 Original Resin per run. Here’s my recommended approach:
- Farm 2-3 times per day to manage resin efficiently
- Use Geo characters for advantage against this boss
- Bring a healer and shielder for sustainability
- Consider using Condensed Resin for double drops
5. Elysium Talent Books
Where to Farm: Elysium talent books can be farmed from the Lightless Capital Domain in Lempo Isle.
Schedule:
- Available Days: Tuesday, Friday, Sunday
- Domain Level: I recommend farming at the highest difficulty you can comfortably clear
Farming Strategy: For efficient talent book farming:
- Plan your resin usage around the domain schedule
- Use characters with strong AoE capabilities
- Consider using Fragile Resin on farming days
- Focus on one character’s materials at a time
6. Eroded Horn
Where to Farm: Eroded Horn is a weekly boss material dropped by the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire.
Location:
- Lord of Eroded Primal Fire Trounce Domain (Natlan)
Farming Strategy: Weekly boss materials require careful planning:
- Fight once per week for free
- Use Condensed Resin if you need multiple drops
- Bring your strongest team composition
- Consider the boss’s mechanics and prepare accordingly
Important Note: Weekly boss drops are RNG-based, so it might take several weeks to collect all the Eroded Horns you need.
7. Crown of Insight
Where to Obtain: Crowns of Insight are limited-time materials that can be obtained through:
- Flagship Events: Complete all mini-games and event challenges
- Offering Systems: Various region offering systems
- Limited-time activities: Special events and celebrations
Strategy: Since Crowns are limited, I recommend:
- Prioritizing which characters/talents to crown
- Never missing flagship events
- Checking offering systems regularly
- Planning long-term character investment
Pre-Farming Strategy for Iluga
What You Can Farm Right Now?
Even though Iluga hasn’t been officially released, you can start preparing several materials:
Immediate Pre-Farming (Available Now):
- Prithiva Topaz gems (from Geo bosses)
- Drive Shaft materials (from Landcruisers in Nod-Krai)
- Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core (from Super-Heavy Landrover)
- Mora (always useful to stockpile)
Timeline-Based Pre-Farming:
- Elysium Books: Can be farmed on Tue/Fri/Sun
- Eroded Horn: Weekly boss material (one per week)
- Pine Amber: Wait for Luna IV release
Resin Management Strategy
I recommend the following resin allocation for efficient Iluga preparation:
Daily Resin Usage (160 resin):
- 80 resin: Drive Shaft materials (Landcruisers)
- 80 resin: Prithiva Topaz gems (Geo bosses)
Weekly Resin Usage:
- 40 resin: Super-Heavy Landrover (Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core)
- 60 resin: Lord of Eroded Primal Fire (Eroded Horn)
- 120 resin: Elysium Books (on Tue/Fri/Sun)
Efficiency Tips:
- Use Condensed Resin for boss materials
- Save Fragile Resin for double drop events
- Prioritize materials with longer farm times
Iluga’s Role and Team Synergy
Character Overview
Based on leaked information, Iluga is a 4-star Geo polearm support character with the following characteristics:
Key Features:
- Element: Geo
- Weapon: Polearm
- Rarity: 4-star
- Role: Off-field sub-DPS and support
- Faction: Lightkeepers (second playable after Flins)
- Progression Bonus: Elemental Mastery +96.0
Kit Highlights
While this guide focuses on materials, understanding Iluga’s kit helps prioritize talent investment:
Elemental Burst: Creates a field that enhances Geo DMG from nearby party members Support Capabilities: Provides DMG bonuses based on Elemental Mastery Team Flexibility: Works well with Geo-focused compositions
Talent Priority Recommendation
Based on the leaked kit information, I recommend this talent investment priority:
- Elemental Burst (highest priority – main support ability)
- Elemental Skill (secondary priority – utility and DMG)
- Normal Attack (lowest priority – support character)
This means you should focus your Crown of Insight and talent materials on the Burst first, then the Skill, and finally the Normal Attack if resources allow.

Total Estimated Time: 6-8 weeks of consistent farming
Resource Allocation Tips
I recommend this approach for resource management:
Short-term (1-2 weeks):

- Start accumulating Mora through daily commissions
Medium-term (3-4 weeks):

Long-term (5-8 weeks):
- Complete remaining material farming

- Finalize talent upgrades
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Overlooking Pre-Farming Opportunities
Many players wait until characters are officially released before starting to farm materials. This is a significant mistake because:
- You’ll be behind other players who prepared in advance
- Material bottlenecks can delay your character progression
- You might miss limited-time farming opportunities
Solution: Start farming available materials immediately, even if the character isn’t officially announced.
2. Poor Resin Management
I’ve seen many players waste resin on inefficient farming routes:
- Farming wrong enemy types
- Not following domain schedules
- Ignoring resin refresh opportunities
Solution: Plan your resin usage around the most efficient farming routes and schedules.
3. Underestimating Mora Requirements
Players often focus on rare materials but forget about Mora costs:
- Total Mora needed: Over 5 million
- Ascension alone costs 420,000
- Talent upgrades are extremely Mora-intensive
Solution: Start saving Mora early through daily commissions, events, and careful spending.
4. Ignoring Material Conversion
Many players don’t utilize the crafting system effectively:
- Lower-tier materials can be converted to higher-tier
- This can be more resin-efficient than specific farming
- Saves time and reduces frustration
Solution: Learn the material conversion system and use it strategically.
Advanced Farming Strategies
1. Multi-Character Farming
If you’re building multiple Geo characters, you can optimize your farming:
Shared Materials:
- Prithiva Topaz (all Geo characters)
- Mora (universal)
- Some talent books (depending on character)
Strategy: Farm shared materials in bulk and distribute among characters.
2. Event Participation
Limited-time events often provide valuable resources:
- Material events: Double drops or bonus materials
- Mora events: Extra currency for upgrades
- Crown events: Limited Crown of Insight opportunities
Strategy: Never skip limited-time events, even if they seem unrelated to your current goals.
3. Co-op Farming
Some materials can be farmed more efficiently in co-op:
- World bosses: Share resin costs with friends
- Domain farming: Rotate domain runs with party members
- Enemy farming: Cover larger areas with multiple players
Strategy: Join active co-op groups or farm with friends to reduce individual resin costs.

FAQ
When will Iluga be officially released?
Based on current leaks, Iluga is expected to be released in the Luna IV update, which is rumored to launch in January 2026. However, this information is subject to change as HoYoverse may adjust their release schedule.
Are these material requirements confirmed?
No, these material requirements are based on leaks from reliable sources like HomDGCat and Hiragara. While these leakers have accurate track records, the final material requirements may change when Iluga is officially released.
Can I start farming materials now?
Yes! You can start farming several materials right now:
- Prithiva Topaz gems (from Geo bosses)
- Drive Shaft materials (from Landcruisers)
- Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core (from Super-Heavy Landrover)
- Elysium books (on Tue/Fri/Sun)

The only material you cannot farm yet is Pine Amber, which will be available in the Luna IV update.
How much Mora should I save?
You should save at least 5.4 million Mora to fully build Iluga (ascension + all three talents). I recommend starting to save Mora now through daily commissions, events, and careful spending management.
What’s the best way to farm Drive Shaft materials?
The most efficient way to farm Drive Shaft materials is to:
- Use the Adventurer’s Guide to locate Landcruiser groups
- Focus on areas with high enemy density in Nod-Krai
- Use AoE characters for faster clears
- Farm consistently rather than in large bursts
Should I farm for all three talents or just one?
This depends on your planned use for Iluga:
- Main support: Focus on Elemental Burst and Elemental Skill
- Sub-DPS: Invest in all three talents
- Budget build: Focus on Elemental Burst only
I recommend farming materials for all three talents but only investing heavily in the abilities you’ll use most frequently.
How many Crowns of Insight do I need?
You need 1 Crown of Insight per talent you want to maximize. For a complete build, you’ll need 3 Crowns. Since Crowns are limited, I recommend prioritizing which talents to crown based on Iluga’s role in your team.
What if the material requirements change when Iluga is released?
If the material requirements change, most of the materials you’ve farmed will still be useful:
- Prithiva Topaz is used by all Geo characters
- Mora is always needed
- Many talent books are shared between characters
- You can use excess materials for other characters or conversions
Is it worth spending real money to speed up farming?
I generally don’t recommend spending real money specifically for material farming, as it’s more cost-effective to:
- Plan your farming schedule
- Use resin efficiently
- Take advantage of events and bonuses
- Farm consistently over time
How does Iluga compare to other Geo characters in material requirements?
Iluga’s material requirements are fairly standard for a 4-star Geo character:
- Similar Prithiva Topaz requirements to other Geo characters
- Standard talent book quantities
- New local specialty (Pine Amber) is typical for new region characters
- Boss materials are consistent with other 4-star releases
