One of the most efficient members of the Liyue Qixing in Genshin Impact, Keqing is an Electro sword user with a flashy playstyle. As one of the five standard banner 5-star characters, Keqing is a fairly popular character in the game’s fan community.

However, despite being one of Genshin Impact’s most used 5-star characters, some players are still finding it difficult to collect Keqing’s ascension and talent materials. This guide will help them to do so.

Leveling Materials

Like every character in Genshin Impact, Keqing requires a certain amount of Mora and EXP to level up her stats. This is the most basic part of building a character in the game, as it will require a base amount of resources that are shared by every other playable character.

Level	EXP	Mora
1-20	120,175	24,200
20-40	578,325	115,800
40-50	579,100	116,000
50-60	854,125	171,000
60-70	1,195,925	239,200
70-80	1,611,875	322,400
80-90 (max)	3,423,125	684,800

Totals:	8,362,650 EXP	1,673,400 Mora

Keqing Ascension Items

Gemstones - Vajrada Amethyst

Like every other Electro user in Genshin Impact, Keqing will need Vajrada Amethyst with each ascension. This purple gemstone can be obtained through the Souvenir Shops, or by defeating bosses found around the world, including the following:

Electro Hypostasis
Thunder Manifestation
Coral Defenders
Primo Geovishap*
Electro Regisvine
Iniquitous Baptist
Millennial Pearl Seahorse
Dvalin (Confront Stormterror)
Childe (Enter the Golden House)
Azhdaha (Beneath the Dragon Queller)*
The Shogun (End of the Oneiric Euthymia)
Scaramouche (Joururi Workshop)

*Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap can only drop Vajrada Amethyst when infused with Electro!

For a full breakdown of every possible way to farm Vajrada Amethyst, check out our comprehensive guide:

Enemy Drop - Nectar

Unlike Vajrada Amethyst, finding Whopperflower Nectar for Keqing’s ascensions will be a little more difficult to collect. Nectar is obtained by defeating Whopperflowers, which are both an annoying enemy to fight and difficult to find in large numbers. Whopperflowers can be found in every region of Teyvat so far, especially in areas like Cuijue Slope in Liyue.

Boss Drop - Lightning Prism

Each character in Genshin Impact requires a special boss drop. Keqing’s boss drop is the Lightning Prism, which can be obtained by defeating the Electro Hypostasis in Mondstadt. This makes the Electro Hypostasis a priority target when building Keqing, as players can collect both Lightning Prisms and Vajrada Amethyst at the same time.

Local Specialty - Cor Lapis

Much like the other ascension items for Keqing, Cor Lapis is a material that is both hard to collect and scarce. Like collecting other ores around Liyue, players will need to scale tough mountains, all for one of the rarest ores in Genshin Impact. Players can collect Cor Lapis for Keqing by traveling to locations like Mt. Hulao, or by purchasing it from Changshun in Liyue Harbor.

Keqing Talent Materials

In addition to building her through ascension, Genshin Impact players should also consider leveling up Keqing’s talents. These are all the items that players will need to upgrade Keqing’s talents:

Talent Books - Prosperity

As a member of the Liyue Qixing, Keqing is a character with a grand plan for Liyue’s prosperity (one that she says includes the Travelers). For this reason, it’s no surprise that Keqing needs Books of Prosperity to upgrade her talents.

For those unaware, Books of Prosperity can be obtained by completing the Taishan Mansion domain on Monday, Thursday, and Sunday.

Trounce Materials

After upgrading talents to level 6, players will need Trounce Materials obtained from weekly boss fights to further upgrade a character. Keqing needs Rings of Boreas to ascend her talents past level 6. Despite Keqing being a Liyue character, these can be obtained by finishing the Wolf of the North boss fight in Mondstadt’s Wolvendom.
