Kazuha is one of the popular characters in Genshin Impact that many players wish to level up all the way to the maximum ascension level. As an Anemo sword user, Kazuha can provide excellent crowd control and elemental damage boosts to the team. To fully ascend Kazuha to level 80, players must gather some key ascension materials, with one of the most important being Sea Ganoderma.
What are Sea Ganoderma?
Sea Ganoderma are a local specialty found on the islands of Inazuma in Genshin Impact. They appear as blue-green fungal growths near bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, and waterfalls. When harvested, Sea Ganoderma count as ascension materials for certain characters like Kazuha who hail from the Inazuma region.
How many Sea Ganoderma are needed to ascend Kazuha from levels 1-80?
To fully ascend Kazuha from level 1 all the way to level 80, players will need a total of 168 Sea Ganoderma. This number can be broken down per ascension phase as follows:
- Level 20 ascend: 3 Sea Ganoderma
- Level 40 ascend: 10 Sea Ganoderma
- Level 50 ascend: 20 Sea Ganoderma
- Level 60 ascend: 30 Sea Ganoderma
- Level 70 ascend: 45 Sea Ganoderma
- Level 80 ascend: 60 Sea Ganoderma
So in total, 3 + 10 + 20 + 30 + 45 + 60 = 168 Sea Ganoderma to fully ascend Kazuha. This makes Sea Ganoderma one of the most needed regional materials for progressing Kazuha to his maximum potential.
Where can I find Sea Ganoderma in Genshin Impact?
Sea Ganoderma can be found growing near lakes, rivers, and waterfalls around the following locations on the islands of Inazuma:
- Narukami Island
- Kannazuka
- Yashiori Island
- Watatsumi Island
- Seirai Island
- Tsurumi Island
Each of these islands has multiple Sea Ganoderma growing sites, with the highest concentrations being found on Narukami, Yashiori, and Watatsumi Islands. Using an interactive map can help locate the precise spots where Sea Ganoderma grow.
Notable Sea Ganoderma farming locations
Some of the best spots to farm Sea Ganoderma efficiently include:
- Near Sangonomiya Shrine on Watatsumi Island
- On the banks of the Wuwang Hill hotspring on Watatsumi Island
- Along the coastline of Ritou on Narukami Island
- On the rocky riverbanks of Yashiori Island’s southern islands
These areas can each provide 10 or more Sea Ganoderma in one run, making them great farming spots. Marking them on the in-game map can help players return to harvest more as the Ganoderma respawn over time.
What is the respawn rate for Sea Ganoderma?
Sea Ganoderma follows the standard respawn timer for regional specialty resources in Genshin Impact. After being harvested, Sea Ganoderma will respawn in 2-3 real-world days.
Players can take advantage of this respawn rate to establish efficient farming routes that hit the best locations every couple of days. With patience and persistence, all the required 168 Sea Ganoderma to max ascend Kazuha can be obtained over time.
What are some tips for farming Sea Ganoderma efficiently?
Here are some tips to help players farm Sea Ganoderma more quickly and efficiently:
- Use an interactive map to mark all Sea Ganoderma locations
- Establish a farming route that hits high-density areas
- Harvest after 2-3 real days when the Ganoderma respawns
- Equip the Treasure Compass gadget to help track down nearby resources
- Play in Co-Op mode to harvest multiple worlds’ worth per day
- Purchase up to 10 Sea Ganoderma per day from Souvenir Shops
Following these tips, along with being diligent about harvesting as much as possible whenever you log in, can help accelerate the Sea Ganoderma farming process.
How long will it take to get 168 Sea Ganoderma?
How long it takes to gather 168 Sea Ganoderma will depend greatly on how consistently and efficiently you farm. But here is a rough estimate:
- Casually gathering when you see them: 1-2 months
- Focused farming 2-3 times per week: 3-4 weeks
- Daily focused farming: 1-2 weeks
With very frequent, daily focused farming of the best spots, it’s possible to gather the necessary 168 Sea Ganoderma in around 1-2 weeks. More casual gathering when you happen to see them could take 1-2 months.
Dedicated players could also potentially get them all in a single week by harvesting in Co-Op mode across multiple worlds every day. So the timeframe really comes down to how much you prioritize farming Sea Ganoderma for Kazuha ascension.
Are there other sources for Sea Ganoderma?
Aside from harvesting Sea Ganoderma out in the open world, players can also obtain small amounts from the following sources:
- Souvenir shops: Sold in shops at Ritou and Hanamizaka for 100 mora each, up to 10 per day
- Parametric Transformer: Small chance when transmuting materials
- Event rewards: Sometimes given as limited-time event prizes
- Gardening: Can be grown in the Serenitea Pot realm at higher Trust Ranks
While only providing small amounts, these supplemental sources can still help chip away at the total Sea Ganoderma needed to ascend Kazuha. Every little bit helps when aiming for the 168 target.
What companions help track or harvest Sea Ganoderma?
Some companions in Genshin Impact can help players with either tracking down or harvesting Sea Ganoderma:
- Treasure-Seeking Seelie: Leads you to nearby resources when placed
- Endora: Highlights nearby resources
- NRE (Menu 30): Shows resources on mini-map
- Seed Dispensary: Passively generates resources like Sea Ganoderma over time
Equipping the right companion like Endora and frequently using the Treasure-Seeking Seelie can assist with tracking down Sea Ganoderma spots. The NRE and Seed Dispensary provide more passive aid over time.
Conclusion
Fully ascending Kazuha to level 80 is a worthwhile investment, as he gains substantial boosts to his Anemo damage and crowd control capabilities. While daunting at first, gathering the required 168 Sea Ganoderma can be achieved in only a couple weeks of focused daily farming. Optimizing routes, utilizing companions, playing in Co-Op mode, and buying from shops allows players to gather Sea Ganoderma efficiently. With persistence and patience, travelers can fully ascend their Kazuha and unleash his full potential.
