Level, Ascension, refinement, and character synergy |
To increase a weapon’s level in Genshin Impact, you need to enhance it with Weapon EXP materials or unused weapons. When the weapon reaches a level cap, it must be ascended with Weapon Ascension Materials, enemy drops, and Mora before it can continue leveling.
Weapon leveling requires Weapon EXP materials, Mora, Weapon Ascension Materials, and enemy drops. The exact materials depend on the weapon’s type, rarity, level, and Ascension phase.
Weapon Enhancement Materials are items that provide Weapon EXP. The main examples are Enhancement Ore, Fine Enhancement Ore, and Mystic Enhancement Ore, with Mystic Enhancement Ore being the most important resource for high-level weapon upgrades.
Weapon Ascension Materials are special materials used to raise a weapon’s level cap. They usually come from weapon material domains and are tied to specific daily rotations, with all material types available on Sunday.
Yes, some material domains, regions, or farming routes may require account progression. If a weapon needs materials from a locked region or domain, the required access may need to be unlocked first.
