Genshin Impact – How To: Find and Obtain Recipe Ingredients

We’ve covered How To: Heal and Cook. As well as How To: Find and Obtain Recipes. Now we will focus on finding and obtaining recipe ingredients.

Ingredients can be found just about anywhere, in the plains, over the hills, up the trees, or in the bushes. Everywhere you look, there is something that’s able to be picked up and stored in the bag. But there are some things that aren’t readily available.

Food Processing

In order for you to cook up a dish of your choosing you should be mindful of the required ingredients. Some of these ingredients can be acquired on their own and some need processing. From the list above, you will see the ingredient name and how to obtain them.

As in real life, bacon, butter, cheese and cream require some sort of process. However, we reside in the fictional world of Teyvat. We will not be churning butter the old fashioned way.

To process ingredients we need to:

1. Visit a restaurant or a camp fire.
2. Press F.
3. Click Process.
4. Select an ingredient you wish to process.
5. Click Cook.
6. Adjust the amount of items.
7. Click Confirm and wait for it to finish.
8. When finished, Click Obtain.
9. The processed ingredient is now added to your bag/inventory.

Some ingredients takes some processing time ranging from 1-20 minutes, so while you wait for it to finish, you may do some quests or visit other shops to see what might interest you.

Foraging

This is quite easy. All you need to do is:

1. Get close to the item you wish to acquire (Flowers, Berry’s Fruits)
2. Press F and move somewhere else where there’s plenty.

Hunting

It is recommended that you use a character with a bow and arrow. But waving your sword or spear wildly is just fine. To do this:

1. Position your character in a distance, within range and in a clear line of sight get too close and they start running or fly away.
2. Use any charged attack that your character has.
3. Aim at your target and shoot.
4. When successful, get close and collect your loot.

Fishing

This will require you to swim on any body of water deep enough to contain fish. However, it is reported that an update will include the Fishing function and hopefully we don’t get our character soaking wet to catch fish. To get that fish out of the water you:

1. Get in the water.
2. Swim towards the fish.
3. When you get close enough Press F to catch.

Investigating

This is also simple. You only need to:

1. Observe you surroundings.
2. Get near crates or boxes and any part of the area that’s glimmering.
3. Press F to investigate or use normal and special attacks to destroy crates and boxes. This reveals concealed items in them.

Now that these aren’t a mystery anymore, do try to be diligent in picking up items if you come across any on your travels. As they say, always prepare for a rainy day. You never know when an ingredient will come in handy.
