Leveling Priority For Vodyanitsa

	Leveling Guide
Vodyanitsa	Character Level: Level 90. Since she's a support that relies on her Max HP for healing and buffs, she's better at max level. Normal Attack: Level 1 since it's unlikely she'll be dealing damage on-field. Skill: Level 10 since her healing or buffs are likely to scale on it. Burst: Level 6 since it's likely to be a damage skill which she won't be specializing in as a support.

The leveling priority for Vodyanitsa is shown above. As a general rule, prioritize leveling her Character Level and Skill. Her Elemental Burst can be ignored at Level 1 but keeping it at Level 6 beyond will allow her to deal some damage during rotations.

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 this 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.

Q. When do enemies or mobs respawn?

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.

Q. Are materials event-limited?

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!

Q. Are trounce domains (weekly bosses) always available?

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 Resingives 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.

Q. How much resin is needed to fully max out a character?

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.

Q. How do I get more Resin?

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.
