Fairy Wormwood is the new Snezhnaya local specialty added in Version 7.2, and it’s the only material standing between you and a fully ascended Valeriy. I’ve farmed every patch of this crystal-leafed fern across eastern Snezhnaya, and I’m sharing the fastest routes, the cheap daily shop trick, and the unlock quest most players skip. You need 168 of them for his final ascension, so a smart route saves you days of waiting around. If you pulled him on the Phase 1 banner alongside Mitya and Furina, here’s everything I learned — starting with the quick answer.
| Quick Facts | Details |
|---|---|
| Type | Snezhnaya Local Specialty |
| Used for | Ascending Valeriy (168 total) |
| Farm locations | Teplo Oasis (60) and Crystal Ore Tree Hollow (19) |

| Respawn | 48 hours |
How to Get Fairy Wormwood in Genshin Impact?
You get Fairy Wormwood by farming it in Teplo Oasis and the Crystal Ore Tree Hollow in Wingspan Peak, eastern Snezhnaya, buying up to five daily from the Downtown Novokitezhgrad shop for 1,000 Mora each, and finishing Valeriy’s Test Run for three free ones. Both farming zones only open after you progress the world quest The Crystal City in the Gorge’s Depths. With 79 spawning per 48-hour cycle plus shop stock, you can hit 168 in roughly four days without spending a single Primogem.
Where to Farm Fairy Wormwood?
Teplo Oasis (60 per cycle)
Teplo Oasis is your main farm, with 60 spawns per cycle packed around the kettle near the Statue of the Seven. I found the densest clusters on the southwestern grassy flats — the plants look like yellowish ferns that curl inward, with crystal-like deposits spreading across their leaves, so they glow against the grass and are easy to spot while sprinting. Teleport to the oasis waypoint and loop the shoreline clockwise for the cleanest route. The ground here is completely flat, so you won’t waste stamina climbing — and if the 48-hour wait feels long, hit your other farming routes or dailies while the timer runs down.
Crystal Ore Tree Hollow (19 per cycle + a 9-piece chest)
This subterranean pocket adds 19 more per cycle, but it’s gated behind the Let Not All Rivers Run Dry quest, which branches off The Crystal City in the Gorge’s Depths. While you’re down there, open the chest holding nine bonus Wormwood — it’s the only one-time source in the zone, and every count matters when you need 168.
Every Other Way to Get Fairy Wormwood
I always buy out the shop before farming. A vendor in Downtown Novokitezhgrad sells five per day at 1,000 Mora each — 5,000 Mora for stock that would otherwise cost a full farming loop. On top of that:
- Valeriy’s Test Run: completing it in the event menu grants 3 instantly, and it doubles as a free preview of his kit before you invest materials.
- Serenitea Pot: once you obtain the seeds, you can grow a steady supply at home.
- Co-op worlds: when your spawns are on cooldown, ask to harvest in a friend’s world — just return the favor.
Farming Tips I Wish I Knew Sooner
- Run Alyosha on the team. His passive marks nearby Snezhnaya specialties on the minimap, and he’s free for anyone who progresses Archon Quest Chapter VII: Act I. Odette offers the same radar if you have her.
- Respawn is exactly 48 hours from the moment you collect each plant, so alternate zones on off-days.
- Use the tracker. Click Fairy Wormwood in your inventory, select Go to Collect, and blue circles mark every spawn on your map.
