How to Get Fairy Wormwood in Genshin Impact (November 2026) Complete Guide

Fairy Wormwood is Valeriy’s ascension material in Genshin Impact, and you need 168 of them to fully level the new 4-star Electro sword from Version 7.2. I finished my set in two days by combining one route with the shop, a hidden chest, and a few free sources most players skip. Below I break down the fastest farming route in Teplo Oasis, every purchase option, respawn timings, and the pitfalls that cost me extra hours in 2026.

Where to Find Fairy Wormwood?

Fairy Wormwood grows in Teplo Oasis, the sub-area of eastern Snezhnaya added on November 4, 2026. It’s easy to spot: a yellowish fern that curls inward, with crystal-like deposits across its leaves that shimmer as you approach.

Unlock the area by progressing the Novokitezhgrad Meeting Point Chronicle Quest, then start the World Quest “The Crystal City in the Gorge’s Depths.” Roughly 60 spawn across the oasis, mostly in grassy patches and sheltered spots near the Statue of the Seven.

My two quality-of-life tips: put Alyosha or Odette in your party — both reveal nearby Snezhnaya specialties on the mini-map, and Alyosha is free from Archon Quest Chapter VII: Act I. Then open the Item Tracker and hit “Go to Collect” so Wormwood appears as blue circles on your map.

Fastest Ways to Get Fairy Wormwood

Here are all six methods, ranked by how quickly they fill your bag:

1. Farm the Teplo Oasis route (60 per cycle). Sweep the grassy western and southwestern shores first, then cut inland toward the Statue of the Seven. Most spawns sit within teleport range of the oasis waypoints, so one clean lap takes 15–20 minutes. Collect in one continuous run rather than teleporting per cluster.
2. Loot Crystal Ore Tree Hollow (19 + a 9-chest). This area unlocks during “Let Not All Rivers Run Dry,” part of the same World Quest. Follow the Seelie to a chest holding nine Wormwood at once — the biggest single pickup in the region.
3. Buy five daily from the Downtown Novokitezhgrad shop. Each stalk costs 1,000 Mora, so the daily limit runs 5,000 Mora. It restocks with the daily server reset, making it the easiest long-term supplement.
4. Clear Valeriy’s Test Run. The event trial instantly grants three Wormwood plus his other first-ascension materials.
5. Grow your own in the Serenitea Pot. With the Seed Dispensary gadget, plant Wormwood seeds in Jade Field plots and harvest in roughly 70 hours.
6. Visit friends’ worlds. Co-op farming pulls from their spawn pool — my go-to when I’m 10–20 short of a threshold.

Fairy Wormwood Respawn Time

Fairy Wormwood respawns 48 hours after you pick it, and the daily server reset doesn’t shorten the timer. I collect a route, then teleport back from the farthest waypoint or relog to double-check stragglers two days later. Between cycles, the shop’s five-per-day stock and a quick co-op trip keep Valeriy’s ascension moving.

How to Use Fairy Wormwood?

Fairy Wormwood’s only job is ascending Valeriy, the 4-star Electro sword on the 7.2 Phase 1 banner. Each ascension stage demands more, and unlike boss drops it costs zero Resin — so farm it before touching Artifact domains. Pair it with the Severed Tail of the Sky-Roamer from the Chimeric Winged Lion, Valeriy’s other ascension material, and while you’re prepping, my Best Mitya Build in Genshin Impact covers the new 5-star too.

FAQs

How many Fairy Wormwood do I need for Valeriy?

168 for a full ascension. The Test Run’s three free ones cover stage one; two well-planned farm cycles get you most of the rest.

Can you buy Fairy Wormwood in Genshin Impact?

Yes. The Downtown Novokitezhgrad shop sells five per day at 1,000 Mora each — 20,000 Mora covers four days of stock.

Why can’t I find Fairy Wormwood in Teplo Oasis?

It gates behind the Novokitezhgrad Meeting Point Chronicle Quest. If spawns look empty, finish “The Crystal City in the Gorge’s Depths” — some routes open only during it.

Does Fairy Wormwood respawn?

Every 48 hours. Co-op worlds and Serenitea Pot gardening bypass the wait entirely.
