Where to find Starconch in Genshin Impact | Screen Rant – Screen Rant

Starconches are a local specialty in Genshin Impact that are needed for the ascension of certain characters, like Tartaglia. Here's where to find them.

There are a lot of resources and collectibles for adventurers to find in the world of Genshin Impact. Berries growing on bushes, ore jutting from rocks in mountainsides, the loot dropped by Teyvats many monsters, and much more. Players can use these items as ingredients in culinary recipes to heal their party, at blacksmiths to forge weapons for them, or as resources in character ascensions.

Character ascensions are an important component of the games level up mechanic. By default, characters can only grow to level 20 by defeating enemies or using level-up items (the latter of which is thequickest method). Players will need to collect a certain number of resources to grow past this limit. Enter the starconch, a seashell appropriately emblazoned with a star that characters like Tartaglia need to ascend. Those that managed to wish this Snezhnyna sniper to their team will want to collect lots of starconch to make him grow even stronger, and this guide willprovide the areas that this seashell spawns in.

The starconch are only native to some of the beaches in the Liyue region. This categorizes them as a local specialty in the games code, meaning they respawn every two days. Only three of these shells are needed for the first ascension, but the later ones require as many as 30 or more. Players with Tartaglia in their roster ought to routinely collect starconch over time so theyll have enough in their inventory every time theyre ready to ascend him to the next rank. Here are two places that the shells commonly appear, and the paths new players can take to reach them.

Yaoguang Shoal

This isle is the easiest location to access. Starconches can be found all around its beaches, so combing the area in a loop once every 48 hours will net several shells. It can be reached on the way to Liyue Harbor from Mondstat by taking a right at Guili Plains and heading towards the bridge leading to Mingyun village. The Statue of the Seven that reveals the areas map is found at the highest peak overlooking the shoal, so visit there first if it hasn't already been activated. This regions teleport waypoint, found on the eastern side of the longest isle, has several starconches in the vicinity that are easy to collect.

Guyun Stone Forest

Off the coast of Liyue Harbor is an archipelago of islands known as the Guyun Stone Forest. Its home to lots of high level enemies, and can be reached by gliding off the peak that's northeast of the city. The island with the teleport waypoint on it has at least one of the shellsnestled in the sand, but the island closest to the city has several more. Watch out for the Fatui Pyro Agent that patrols the island! Its possible to avoid him by sticking to the coastline, which players will want to do anyway to collect the starconches.
