How to pre-farm Lyney's Ascension and Talent Materials

The Fatui enemies shown in the above interactive map drop the Insignia items Lyney needs for his regular Ascensions and Talents. Genshin Impact players will need to farm the following quantities to max this character out:

• 36x Recruit's Insignia
• 96x Sergeant's Insignia
• 129x Lieutenant's Insignia

Although the Agate stones are farmable, it's worth holding off on them since players will be grinding the Emperor of Fire and Iron once he's available in version 4.0. That boss will drop the Emperor's Resolution plus the Agate stones, so there's no need to farm the latter item until then.

A Crown of Insight is available in the Secret Summer Paradise event in Version 3.8, so claim one from there if necessary. Otherwise, the only other grindable item sans Mora is the Primordial Greenbloom. The Realm of Beginnings Trounce Domain may drop this item once a week after players complete Nahida's second Story Quest.

Travelers need to do Nahida's first Story Quest, be Adventure Rank 40+ and have completed Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises to do her second Story Quest.

When will Lyney become playable?

Current Genshin Impact leaks suggest this character will become playable in the first half of Version 4.0. That means his Event Wish will have the same release date as the new Version Update. If Genshin Impact 4.0 launches on August 16, 2023, that means the first set of banners will also become available on August 16, 2023.

The start of the new Version Update will also bring ways for players to grind Emperor's Resolution, Rainbow Roses, and the Fairness books. Otherwise, players can pre-farm all other materials as they are present in 3.8 right now.
