Gemstones - Where to Find Shivada Jade

As the wielder of a Cryo Vision, Ayaka will need some Shivada Jade to ascend. Players can exchange Geo and Anemo sigils to the souvenir shops in Liyue and Mondstadt, respectively, or acquire it from the Adventurers' Guild for completing daily commissions. It can also be obtained from bosses, which is the primary source for most people.

These bosses can reward Shivada Jade when defeated:

Cryo Regisvine
Cryo Hypostasis
Coral Defenders
Maguu Kenki
Perpetual Mechanical Array
Primo Geovishap*
Aeonblight Drake
Iniquitous Baptist
Icewind Suite (Coppelius)
Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker
Andrius (The Wolf of the North Challenge)
Childe (Enter the Golden House)
Azhdaha (Beneath the Dragon Queller)*
La Signora (Narukami Island: Tenshukaku)

*Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap can only drop Shivada Jade when infused with Cryo during the battle

Genshin Impact: Where To Get Shivada Jade

Every Cryo character in Genshin Impact needs Shivada Jade to ascend. Here's where to get some!

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Handguards

The bandit samurai and yoriki of Inazuma will drop various levels of Handguards when defeated. These enemies, known as Kairagi and Nobushi, will drop better Handguards at higher levels.

Any level Kairagi or Nobushi: Old Handguard
Kairagi and Nobushi level 40 or higher: Kageuchi Handguard
Kairagi and Nobushi level 60 and higher: Famed Handguard

Boss Drop - How to Get Perpetual Heart

It's great that the Perpetual Mechanical Array can drop Shivada Jade, because it'll slightly expedite the process of ascending Ayaka. This is because she needs an item dropped only by this boss: the Perpetual Heart.

This boss must be accessed, as it's hidden below Jinren Island in Inazuma. To do so, find a portal on Jinren Island or work through the Cleansing Defilement questline, which will lead to its arena.

Local Specialty - Where to Find Sakura Blooms

Ever notice those glowing pink balls of petals that hover in the air around Narukami Island? Those are Sakura Blooms, and hitting them with Electro (either with an attack or by being affected by Electro), they'll become collectable.

The primary purpose of these Sakura Blooms is cooking and crafting, but Ayaka also uses them for her ascension (as does her brother, Ayato).

Ayaka Talent Materials

Part of making a playable character combat worthy is upgrading their three upgradeable talents. Ayaka will use the following items and small fortune in Mora for hers:

Level	Books	Common Drops	Trounce Mats	Crown of Insight	Mora
1-2	3x Teachings of Elegance	6x Old Handguard	-	-	12,500
2-3	2x Guide to Elegance	3x Kageuchi Handguard	-	-	17,500
3-4	4x Guide to Elegance	4x Kageuchi Handguard	-	-	25,000
4-5	6x Guide to Elegance	6x Kageuchi Handguard	-	-	30,000
5-6	9x Guide to Elegance	9x Kageuchi Handguard	-	-	37,500
6-7	4x Philosophies of Elegance	4x Famed Handguard	1x Bloodjade Branch	-	120,000
7-8	6x Philosophies of Elegance	6x Famed Handguard	1x Bloodjade Branch	-	260,000
8-9	12x Philosophies of Elegance	9x Famed Handguard	2x Bloodjade Branch	-	450,000
9-10 (max)	16x Philosophies of Elegance	12x Famed Handguard	2x Bloodjade Branch	1x Crown of Insight	700,000

Totals:	3x Teachings 21x Guide 38x Philosophies	6x Old 22x Kageuchi 31x Famed	6	1	1,652,500
Totals x3:	9x Teachings 63x Guide 114x Philosophies	18x Old 66x Kageuchi 93x Famed	18	3	4,957,500

Talent Books - Elegance

Ayaka is the elegant daughter of the Kamisato clan, so it's not shocking that she uses the Elegance series of talent books for her talent upgrades.

These books can be obtained by clearing the Violet Court domain on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

Trounce Materials

Even though she's from Inazuma, Ayaka uses a Liyue-based trounce material to ascend, that being the Bloodjade Branch. This item can be obtained by defeating Azhdaha at his weekly trounce domain.
