Why Pre-Farm: The Day-1 Build Advantage
Pre-farming lets you deploy fully-built units immediately instead of grinding for weeks post-release. Version 6.3 features Phase 1 banners with Columbina (5★ Hydro Catalyst) and Neuvillette rerun, followed by Phase 2 with Zibai (5★ Geo Sword), Ineffa (5★), and Illuga (4★ Geo). Pre-farming achieves level 80 with talent level 9 on day one.

Version Update Cycles
Genshin operates on 42-day patch cycles with two 21-day banner phases. Special Program Livestreams occur 10-12 days before patch release, revealing character kits and materials.
Version 6.3 livestream: January 2, 2026
- 12:00 AM UTC-5 (North America)
- 06:00 AM UTC+1 (Europe)
- 01:00 PM UTC+8 (Asia)
This gives 12 days between confirmation and launch to adjust farming.
180 Daily Resin Reality
Original Resin regenerates 1 unit per 8 minutes, capping at 200. This equals 180 Resin per 24 hours. Domains cost 20 Resin per run, weekly bosses require 30 Resin for first three weekly claims (60 thereafter, resetting Monday 4:00 AM server time).
Three-week pre-farming provides 3,780 total Resin (180 × 21 days).
Complete Resin Budget: 3-Week Plan
Columbina (Level 80):
- 1 Varunada Lazurite Sliver, 9 Fragments, 9 Chunks, 6 Gemstones
- 168 Winter Icelea (local specialty)
- 46 Radiant Antler (Frostnight Herra boss, Hiisi Island)
Illuga (Level 90):
- 1 Prithiva Topaz Sliver, 9 Fragments, 9 Chunks, 6 Gemstones
- 168 Pine Amber
- Drive Shafts: 18 Broken, 30 Reinforced, 36 Precision
- 46 Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Cores (Super-Heavy Landrover boss, Paha Isle underground)
Condensed Resin Efficiency
Condensed Resin crafts using 40 Original Resin + 1 Crystal Core + 100 Mora, max storage 5 units. Doubles domain rewards per run.
Advantage: 4 Condensed runs + 1 standard run (180 Resin) versus 9 standard runs—same rewards, half the time.
Week 1: Talent Books & Weekly Bosses
Columbina: Philosophies/Guide/Teachings of Moonlight
Illuga: Elysium series—9 Teachings, 63 Guides, 114 Philosophies (4,957,500 Mora total)
Lightless Capital domain drops both series on Wednesdays/Saturdays. Allocate 140 Resin daily (7 runs or 3 Condensed + 1 standard). Remaining 40 Resin targets weekly bosses like Lord of Eroded Primal Fire for Eroded Horn (Illuga talents).
Weekly boss strategy: Complete three discounted runs (30 Resin each = 90 total) at week start. Dream Solvent converts unwanted materials 1:1.
Week 2: Boss Materials
Columbina: 46 Radiant Antler from Frostnight Herra (level 30+), Hiisi Island. 40 Resin per kill, 2-3 materials average = 15-20 runs (600-800 Resin).
Illuga: Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Cores from Super-Heavy Landrover (level 30+), Paha Isle underground. Farm Drive Shafts from Ruin Guards/Hunters (zero Resin cost).
Week 3: Mora, EXP, Weapons
Mora costs:
- Columbina level 90: 7,050,100 Mora
- Illuga level 90: 420,000 Mora + 4,957,500 talents = 5.3M total
Ley Line Blossoms of Wealth: 60,000 Mora per 20 Resin. Generating 7M Mora requires 117 runs (2,340 Resin)—more than a week's natural regeneration.
Alternative Mora sources:
- Realm Depot: 300,000 weekly
- Battle Pass: 2,520,000 total
- Events: 500,000-1,000,000 each
- Daily Commissions: 60,000 daily
Weapon ascension (Sundered Glory S1):
- 5 Scions of Decarabian, 14 Unyielding Delusion, 14 Oblation, 6 Aureate Radiance
- 753,000 Mora
- Enemy drops
Material Prediction: Reading Beta Leaks
Predict requirements by analyzing element, weapon type, and region. Columbina (Hydro Catalyst) signals Varunada Lazurite needs. Illuga (Geo) confirms Prithiva Topaz. Regional bosses in Nod-Krai provide ascension materials.
Regional Pattern Recognition
Nod-Krai introduces Winter Icelea (168 for Columbina). Local specialties respawn every 48 hours—collect ~84 units weekly. Start collecting immediately, stockpile 200+ units of each new specialty.
Talent Book Domain Rotation
Lightless Capital: Wednesday/Saturday for Moonlight and Elysium series. Characters from specific nations share talent book series—Snezhnaya uses Moonlight, Nod-Krai uses Elysium.
Talent Material Farming: Domain Mastery
Talent books are most time-gated. Missing optimal farming days extends preparation by a full week.
For resin refreshes during critical windows, buy Genshin Genesis Crystals online through BitTopup.
Condensed Resin for Talent Books
One Condensed run yields 2-3 Guide books and occasional Philosophies—identical to two standard runs, half the time.
Illuga's 114 Philosophies of Elysium requires 25-30 domain runs (500-600 Resin). Spread across multiple Wednesday/Saturday cycles.
Weekly Boss Materials & Dream Solvent
Weekly bosses drop talent materials at ~33% chance per type. Lord of Eroded Primal Fire drops Eroded Horn for Illuga.
Dream Solvent converts unwanted materials 1:1. Three discounted weekly runs (90 Resin) generate 3 drops weekly, requiring 2-3 weeks for 18 Eroded Horns.
Boss Material Routes
World bosses: 40 Resin per attempt, 2-3 materials average.
Columbina's 46 Radiant Antler: 15-20 kills (600-800 Resin) = 3-4 days total Resin.
World Boss Respawn & Routes
Bosses respawn immediately after collection. Farm continuously limited only by Resin.
Strategy: Craft 5 Condensed Resin, alternate between boss farming (40 Resin) and domain runs (40 Resin Condensed).
Resin Cost Analysis
- Normal World Bosses: 40 Resin, 2-3 ascension materials, guaranteed
- Weekly Bosses: 30 Resin (first three), 60 Resin (after), talent materials with RNG
- Elite Enemies: Zero Resin, common materials (Drive Shafts), infinite farming
Prioritize weekly bosses during discounted windows. Farm elite materials during exploration without Resin.
Mora & EXP: The Hidden Bottleneck
Columbina level 90: 7,050,100 Mora before talents/weapon/artifacts. Illuga: 5.3M total.
Ley Line Blossoms: 60,000 Mora per 20 Resin. 12M Mora (two characters) requires 200 runs (4,000 Resin)—over 22 days natural regeneration.
Hero's Wit vs Adventurer's Experience
Ley Line Blossoms of Revelation: 5-6 Hero's Wit per 20 Resin (100,000-120,000 character EXP).
Level 1-90 requires ~8.3M EXP = 415 Hero's Wit or 70-75 runs (1,400-1,500 Resin). Two characters: 3,000 Resin for EXP books.
Fragile Resin Management
Fragile Resin restores 60 Original Resin per unit. Spend during pre-farming for talent books/boss materials (guaranteed progression) rather than artifact farming (multiple RNG layers). 20-30 Fragile Resin ensures day-1 functionality.
Resin Refresh with Primogems
Daily refresh costs: 50 (1st), 100 (2nd/3rd), 150 (4th), 200 (5th/6th) for 60 Resin each, max 6 daily.
First refresh (50 Primogems = 60 Resin) offers reasonable value. 50-100 Primogems daily during final week (350-700 total) provides 420-840 bonus Resin.
Emergency Farming: Last 3 Days
Final 72 hours priority (based on January 2 livestream):
- Talent books from time-gated domains (if rotation aligns)
- Weekly boss materials (if Monday reset occurs)
- World boss ascension materials (farmable anytime)
- Mora/EXP books (only if others complete)
Avoid artifact farming—new sets often release with versions.
Local Specialty Collection
Local specialties respawn every 48 hours. Winter Icelea and Pine Amber require 168 units each—achievable through 2-3 collection cycles.
Optimized route collects 50-60 specialties in 15-20 minutes.
Co-Op Farming
Co-op multiplies collection efficiency. Ask permission, offer reciprocal access, respect host preferences.
Join worlds after server reset (4:00 AM). Four players rotating worlds can collect 200+ specialties in one session.
Resource Top-Up Strategy
BitTopup provides secure Genesis Crystal top-ups with competitive pricing and fast delivery. First daily resin refresh (50 Primogems) over three weeks costs 1,050 Primogems—less than seven wishes but provides 1,260 bonus Resin.
Battle Pass Value

- 2,520,000 Mora
- 288 Hero's Wit (5,760,000 EXP)
- 5 Fragile Resin (300 Resin)
- Weapon selection box
- Crown of Insight
Effectively provides 1-2 weeks of Mora/EXP farming without Resin, freeing resources for talent books/boss materials.
FAQ
How much Resin for full character build (1-90, maxed talents)?
3,500-4,000 Resin: 600-800 for boss materials, 500-600 for talent books, 90 for weekly boss talents, 1,400-1,500 for EXP books, 800-1,000 for Mora. Excludes artifacts.
Use Fragile Resin before or after updates?
Before. Talent materials have fixed requirements and guaranteed progression. Artifacts involve multiple RNG layers. 20-30 Fragile Resin (1,200-1,800 Resin) during pre-farming ensures day-1 level 80 with talent 8-9.
Priority with only one week before update?
Time-gated materials only: talent books (check weekly schedule), weekly boss materials (if Monday reset occurs), world boss materials. Skip Mora/EXP—obtainable post-release. Local specialties require zero Resin.
Worth refreshing Resin with Primogems?
First daily refresh (50 Primogems for 60 Resin) offers value during final week. 350 Primogems weekly (420 bonus Resin) versus 2-3 wishes—worthwhile for day-1 builds. Avoid beyond first daily unless substantial Primogem reserves.
Predict materials before announcements?
Analyze element (gemstone type), weapon type (weapon domain), region (talent books, local specialty). Columbina's Hydro = Varunada Lazurite. Illuga's Geo = Prithiva Topaz. Regional bosses in current content provide ascension materials.
Pre-farm artifacts effectively?
High risk due to potential new sets and uncertain kits. Focus on universal sets (Emblem of Severed Fate, Noblesse Oblige) only after completing other pre-farming. New versions often introduce specialized sets. Prioritize guaranteed-usage materials.
