Skirk Ascension: A Pre-Farm Guide to Talent Materials

Sure! Here’s a rewritten, unique version of your content in American English.

Preparing to Farm Skirk’s Materials in Genshin Impact

Gathering Skirk’s materials in Genshin Impact ahead of her release is a strategic approach that allows you to level her up instantly, complete her Ascension stages, and maximize her Talents. Skirk holds significant importance in the game’s storyline as a legendary swordswoman who can navigate the Abyss. She was also a mentor to Tartaglia during his time there and is a follower of Surtalogi. While her official release in version 5.7 of Genshin Impact is not yet confirmed by developer HoYoverse, she is already part of ongoing beta testing.

With her involvement in the beta, it strongly suggests that Skirk will become a playable character in the next patch. Details regarding her gameplay have leaked, indicating her role as a Cryo damage dealer, although she may primarily be effective in Freeze team compositions rather than relying on reactions like Melt or Superconduct. The leaked kit for version 5.7 hints that she could potentially invigorate the Cryo meta, giving more relevance to that element in future updates.

All Skirk Materials Leaked for Genshin Impact 5.7

Materials May Change

As mentioned, Skirk’s complete set of gameplay materials has been leaked. This includes her abilities and the materials necessary for both Ascension and Talent leveling, compiled on Honey Hunter World. You can see the materials needed for her progression, along with the quantity required for each upgrade. Pre-farming these materials could be advantageous, but it may also pose some risks.

Since the list of materials comes from testing for version 5.7, it’s generally trustworthy. Nevertheless, these materials are prone to change. This means that if you decide to pre-farm, you might end up with redundant resources if HoYoverse alters any of the materials before Skirk’s official launch. For instance, you might farm materials from a world boss only to discover they’ve been changed later.

Optimize Your Farming Efforts

As a Cryo character, Skirk is expected to use Shivada Jade elemental stones for her Ascension, according to leaked information. These stones are primarily obtained from Cryo-related world and weekly bosses. Enemies such as the Cryo Hypostasis, Aeonblight Drake, Maguu Kenki, Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker, Lupus Boreas, Childe, and La Signora drop these stones. You can also convert other elemental stones into Shivada Jade using Dust of Azoth at an Alchemy Table.

Here’s a breakdown of all the Ascension materials needed for Skirk, per the leaks:

Unfortunately, farming for Shivada Jade stones and the boss materials needed for Skirk’s Ascension can’t be coordinated efficiently. The world boss material needed for Skirk, Ensnaring Gaze, is obtained from the Tenebrous Papilla: Type I boss, which does not drop Shivada Jade stones. You’ll need to defeat this boss multiple times to collect all required copies. Given the daily Resin limits, this process could take several days. For reference, Ensnaring Gaze is also an Ascension material for Chasca.

Additionally, Skirk will need Skysplit Gembloom in her Ascension. This local specialty is found in Natlan, specifically in the Atocpan subregion. With only 49 spawn points available and 168 needed for Skirk, farming this material could take many days since local specialties respawn every 48 hours.

Tip: Use the official interactive map at HoYoLAB to locate Skysplit Gembloom spawns effectively.

To fully ascend Skirk, you’ll also need materials like Meshing Gear, Mechanical Spur Gear, and Artificed Dynamic Gear. These can be obtained from the Clockwork Meka enemies found across Fontaine. While they can be easily located in the Hydro region, utilizing the interactive map is useful for establishing efficient farming routes. These materials are not only crucial for Skirk’s Ascension but also for leveling her Talents, so farm abundantly. If you’ve previously collected materials for Escoffier, you might have extra Gears.

Finally, a total of 420,000 Mora is required to unlock all of Skirk’s Ascension levels and an additional 1,637,400 Mora to upgrade her to level 90 using Character EXP materials. While Mora can be gathered from various in-game activities, the most efficient method for acquiring it for Skirk is by participating in Blossom of Wealth challenges in Fontaine. This will also give you opportunities to encounter Clockwork Meka, boosting your Gear collection.

Your Material Grind May Stretch for Months

You can also gather Meshing Gear, Mechanical Spur Gear, and Artificed Dynamic Gear from Paimon’s Bargains, keeping in mind there’s a monthly cap on purchases. The leaks reveal that Skirk will depend on the Contention Talent books—Teachings of Contention, Guide to Contention, and Philosophies of Contention—which are collectable in the Blazing Ruins Domain in Natlan on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Due to their limited drop rates, accumulating all the necessary materials may take several weeks. Recently, these books were listed as requirements for Iansan in Genshin Impact.

Here’s a summary of the Talent materials needed for Skirk:

At higher Talent levels, Skirk will also require materials from weekly bosses. Specifically, she will need Ascended Sample: Knight, which is obtained from the The Game Before the Gate boss in Mondstadt. This boss was introduced with version 5.6 and provides materials for Ifa. You will need 18 copies of this weekly material, but obtaining them could take months due to the restrictions on weekly boss encounters in Genshin Impact. Therefore, starting early on your farming efforts will be beneficial.

To fully max out Skirk’s Talents, you’ll need three Crown of Insight— a rare material that can be acquired from selected limited-time events, reputation systems, or the battle pass. One can also be bought monthly from Paimon’s Bargains. Leveling up Skirk’s Talents will be quite costly, totaling around 4,957,500 Mora. As always, focusing on Blossom of Wealth activities in Fontaine will be the best strategy for maximizing your Gear gathering efforts for Skirk in Genshin Impact.
