Local specialties are used in character ascension, local quests, and in crafting. Each country in Teyvat has its own list of specialties only found on their land, like Mondstadt’s wide selection of different flowers. With the release of Inazuma, Genshin Impact’s selection of specialties monumentally increased, however, some are rarer than others to find.

10 Cecilia

Mondstadt seems to like its flowers, with 4 of their 8 local specialties being flowers. One of the rarest of these being the Cecilia, used by both Venti and Albedo for their character ascensions.

However, the Cecilia isn’t rare because it is hard to find. In fact, Cecilia’s are one of the easier Mondstadt specialties to find, being located only on Starnatch Cliff and sold by Flora. However, it is rare because of the sparsity of their numbers; only 37 flowers can be founded at the cliff, and 5 are sold by Flora at a given moment. For reference, Venti needs 168 flowers to ascend to maximum level, and 5 for every Anemoculus Resonance Stone crafted.

9 Glaze Lily

Although Mondstadt may be well-known for its flowers, Liyue also has its fair share. The Glaze Lily is the local specialty in Liyue that makes for the best equivalent to Cecilias. It is used to ascend Ningguang, as well as in the crafting of Geoculus Resonance Stones.

Like the Cecilia, Glaze Lilies can only be found in a handful of spots: in Qingce Village and the outskirts of Liyue Harbor. They can also be bought from Ms. Bai in Qingce Village, though players should beware of this scam. At 50,000 Mora per flower, Ms. Bai’s Glaze Lilies are overpriced when they can be picked for free in the very same village.

8 Noctilucous Jade

Naturally, Liyue is known for their rocks like Mondstadt is for their flowers. However, while Cors Lapis is easy to find, Noctilucous Jade is a little rarer. It is used by both Beidou and Yanfei for their ascensions.

Unlike Cecilias, Noctilucous Jade can be found in multiple places in Liyue in caves and mountains. Of course, should Noctilucous Jade prove to be too difficult to find, it can also be bought from Shitou in Liyue Harbor.

7 Wolfhook

With the introduction of the Serenitea Pot, the usage of Wolfhook has heavily increased. Now, it can be used to make blue dye, in addition to being used by Razor for his ascensions. Granted, Wolfhook isn’t particularly rare in numbers (not like Cecilia at least) but it is a hassle to find.

They are found exclusively in Wolvendom. However, due to the mix of being incredibly small, the shading of Wolvendom, and being fairly spread out, it’s easy to miss them. Of course, for players looking to skip out on the Wolfhook Scavenger Hunt, they can also be bought from Chloris.

6 Dandelion Seed

Dandelion Seeds are the second rarest local specialty found in Mondstadt. Used by Jean and Eula for ascension, as well as to craft a multitude of items, this can be a real struggle for a lot of players.

Granted, nearly 50 seeds can be collected in a day. However, it’s also the most spread out resource in all Mondstadt; players won’t have an easy collection process like with Cecilia or Cors Lapis. The best place to start collecting is in Mondstadt City itself, with four flowers just in the front gates alone.

5 Violetgrass

In all of Liyue, Violetgrass may be the worst placed local specialty of all. Violetgrass is used by Xinyan and Qiqi for their ascensions, as well as in several Liyue dishes.

The struggle of finding Violetgrass comes from its terrain placement: located on cliffsides in Liyue. Granted, they can be collected in great numbers (over 150 are located in Liyue) but scaling a cliffside takes time. And the size of Liyue’s mountains makes the process even worse, so much so that they can be bought from two people at a time: Verr Goldet at Wangshu Inn and from the Bubu Pharmacy. 

4 Qingxin

In Liyue, the Qingxin is the second most difficult, rare flower to look for in Liyue. Used in ascending Ganyu and Xiao, the Qingxin flower is also used to make Tianshu Meat.

To be fair, the Qingxin just barely makes it to rare status, but it reigns in collection difficulty (perhaps only bested by Violetgrass.) Sadly, it most commonly can be found spread out on top of Liyue’s many mountains. However, for those looking to avoid climbing a mountain for a flower or two, they can also be found easily in Qingce Village and bought from the Bubu Pharmacy.

3 Silk Flower

While Liyue’s terrain is normally the issue with collect local specialties, the story is different with the Silk Flower. Used to ascend Hu Tao and Xingqiu (as well as make paper in the Serenitea Pot), the Silk Flower is objectively the rarest local specialty in Liyue.

Though players can collect multiple flowers from one bush, only a few exist in Yujing Terrance and near the Wangshu Inn. Of course, for players in desperate need of Silk Flowers, they can also be bought from Verr Goldet at Wangshu Inn and Ms. Bai in Qingce Village.

2 Onikabuto

Unlike Mondstadt and Liyue, Inazuma has not had their share of uncommon local specialties. Most items in Inazuma are either extremely common or are placed in easy to reach areas. However, the Onikabuto, a beetle that inhabits Electro-rich areas, is a little more challenging to find than others.

Granted, the Onikabuto hides in fairly easy-to-reach areas, like on low-hanging trees and such. But the insect can be a hassle to find in large numbers, spawning in few numbers and in spread-out areas across the map. While there isn’t a character that uses Onikabuto for ascensions at update 2.0, players are advised to collect this local specialty now to avoid a headache when a character is released.

1 Calla Lily

In all of Genshin Impact, Calla Lily is likely the rarest local specialty in the game to date. They are used in Kaeya and Diona’s ascensions, as well as being used in a variety of Mondstadt dishes.

It may seem strange at first, as at face value, the Calla Lily doesn’t seem that uncommon. Being located on the coasts and waterlines of Mondstadt (especially in Springvale), players may come across them without even looking for them. However, there are few Calla Lilies in the game than players realize, many routes only giving just over 50 flowers. And unlike the Cecilia, players are going to need to cross long distances to optimize their gathering.
