Leveling Priority For Sandrone
| Leveling Guide | |
|---|---|
| Sandrone | Character Level: Level 90, since she's an On-Field DPS whose abilities have level-based scaling. Normal Attack: Level 10, since her biggest source of damage appears to be her Charged Attacks. Skill: Level 8 or 9 should suffice since her Skill still deals damage. Level to 10 if you have enough materials. Burst: Like her Skill, Sandrone's Burst also contributes some DPS, so Level 8 or 9 should suffice unless you have enough materials to max it up to 10. |
The leveling priority for Sandrone is shown above. As a general rule, prioritize leveling her Character Level and Normal Attack. Leveling her Elemental Burst and Skill can most likely be kept at Level 8 or 9, but you should still be able to max them out if you have enough resources to do so and want to squeeze out as much damage as possible.

The Drive Shafts that Sandrone uses for ascension are dropped by the Landcruisers after you defeat them. They can usually be found patrolling areas near certain Fatui strongholds like the Kuuvahki Experimental Design Bureau.
You can also track them using the Adventurer's Handbook (Paimon Menu > Adventurer's Handbook), but not all of their locations will be shown.

General Material Farming FAQs
Material Respawns
Q. When do local specialties respawn?| A: All local specialties, regardless of region, take 48 hours (2 days) to respawn, starting from the time you collected them. | |
| Tip! | You can collect local specialties from a friend or another traveler's world once you join them through co-op. Specialties collected ther way are not shared, so it's best to ask travelers who don't plan to use those specialties themselves. |
|---|---|
| Tip! | Some local specialties can be planted in the Teapot. Note that these will still need to grow in real time before you can collect them. |
| A: Elite enemies respawn after your server's daily reset. Most common enemies also respawn after the daily reset, but there are others that reset after 12 Hours. | |
| Tip! | Farm more materials from a friend or another player's world, since you can still collect enemy drops even when in co-op. |
|---|---|
| A: No, there are no character or signature weapon materials used for ascension or leveling that are limited to events. The only event-exclusive materials are refinement materials (that increase the weapon's passive values) used by Event Weapons, like the Calamity of Eshu, which you won't be able to get after the event ends. A: When a new version releases, there will be a limited-time period where completing Archon Quests or Story Quests will give you character ascension materials. These materials are not considered event-exclusive, but are simply freebies you can claim to hasten your character upgrades. | |
| Tip! | Use our recommended farming schedule to efficiently allocate your time and Resin. |
|---|---|
Domain Schedules
Q. Are talent or weapon material domains always available?| A: All talent- or weapon-related domains usually rotate according to a set schedule. This means that only select talent or weapon materials will be available to farm each day. | |
| Tip! | There are periods or events in a version that unlock all the domains every day. This is indicated by a purple 'Available for a limited time' sign on the domain interface. Take advantage of this whenever you see it! |
|---|---|
| A: Every Trounce domain or Weekly Boss, like The Doctor, is available each day of the week. However, you can only claim rewards from each Trounce Domain boss once per week. The reward limit for Weekly Bosses resets every Monday at 04:00 server time. | |
| Tip! | It's usually recommended to farm for Weekly Bosses on Monday as soon as they reset so you don't forget to do them later on. |
|---|---|
| Note! | Talent Ascension requires a Weekly Boss material. Assuming you only get one required material per week, it will take 18 weeks to fully upgrade a character's talents to 10/10/10. You can shorten the time by converting other Weekly Boss materials. |
Resin
Q. How much resin is needed per domain?| A: Artifact, Talent, and Weapon domains will initially require you to use 20 Original Resin to claim the reward. But the game has a system where, before you claim the reward, it asks you how much Resin or what kind of Resin you want to use to receive the reward. | |
| Tip! | Condensed Resin gives you more rewards and thus lets you farm more quickly. Note that some double-drop events require you to use Original Resin to get the boosted drop rate rewards. |
|---|---|
| A: Since material drops are random, farming for all of the character's ascension and talent materials will cost around 2,500 Original Resin at World Level 8. A: This is equivalent to roughly 14-21 days' worth of Original Resin. The number of days required also depends on whether you plan to level up all of their talents. A: This doesn't include the Resin you need to farm good Artifacts, which is indefinite depending on your luck. A: You can also use Fragile Resin to quickly replenish your Resin for faster farming. | |
| Tip! | You can only usually get Fragile Resin via Battle Pass rewards, Adventure Rank rewards, region-specific offering rewards (like the Sacred Sakura), or from Meeting Points. So try to be mindful of how you use them. |
|---|---|
| A: Resin recovers naturally over time. It caps out at 200 Resin, which takes around 27 hours to fully replenish. After hitting the cap, your Resin will not increase further. A: You can use Transient Resin, Fragile Resin, and Primogems to replenish your Original Resin. | |
| Tip! | For maximum efficiency, it's good practice to avoid letting your Resin hit the cap. This ensures that you are constantly regenerating Resin and not wasting any potential gains. |
