To fully upgrade Lauma, a 5-star Dendro Catalyst user from the Nod-Krai region, players need a significant amount of Nagadus Emerald, Light-bearing Scale-Feather, Moonfall Silver, and various types of Warrants. Reaching level 90 and maximizing all three talents (Triple Crown) requires over 7 million Mora and hundreds of farming runs in specific domains.

Talent Level-Up Materials for Lauma

Lauma’s kit revolves around her Elemental Skill, Runo: Dawnless Rest of Karsikko, and her Burst, Runo: All Hearts Become the Beating Moon. To maximize her damage and support utility, you must farm the Moonlight series talent books and the Eroded Scale-Feather weekly boss drop.

Materials for a Single Talent (Level 1 to 10)

  • 3x Teachings of Moonlight
  • 21x Guide to Moonlight
  • 38x Philosophies of Moonlight
  • 6x Tattered Warrant
  • 22x Immaculate Warrant
  • 31x Frost-etched Warrant
  • 6x Eroded Scale-Feather
  • 1x Crown of Insight
  • 1,652,500 Mora

To Triple Crown (Level 10 on Normal Attack, Skill, and Burst), multiply these numbers by three. Most players prioritize her Elemental Burst first, followed by her Elemental Skill, as her Normal Attack is rarely used unless she is the primary on-field driver.

How to Farm Light-bearing Scale-Feather

The Light-bearing Scale-Feather is dropped by the Radiant Moonfly, a world boss located in the Lempo Isle region of Nod-Krai.

Finding the Radiant Moonfly

The boss is situated in a subterranean cave beneath the Blue Amber Lake. To reach it, use the westernmost teleport waypoint on Lempo Isle and head north. You will see a glowing opening in the ground that leads to the boss arena.

Boss Strategy and Tips

The Radiant Moonfly has high resistance to Dendro and Anemo. In our testing, bringing a Pyro or Electro DPS is highly effective for triggering Burning or Quicken reactions to break its moon-glow shield. When the boss enters its "Lunar Metamorphosis" state, it will hover out of reach for melee characters. Using a bow character or a catalyst user like Yae Miko or Yoimiya is recommended to maintain damage uptime.

Where to Find Moonfall Silver in Nod-Krai

Moonfall Silver is a local specialty unique to the Frostmoon Enclave and Lempo Isle. These appear as small, luminescent pearls that glow silver-white at night, making them much easier to spot during in-game nighttime hours.

Farming Locations and Routes

  1. Frostmoon Enclave: The highest density is found around the central shrine. You can collect roughly 49 pearls in a single run here.
  2. Lempo Isle Underground: 8 pearls are hidden in the maze-like tunnels. Note that you must complete the World Quest "The Mirrors, the Maze, and the Tsar" to unlock this area.
  3. Columbina’s Encounter Point: The remaining 14 pearls are located near the site of the Archon Quest "Reunion Beneath the Moonlight."

Pro-Tip: If you have Aino or Lauma in your party, they will mark the location of these specialties on your mini-map, significantly speeding up the farming process.

Locating Fatui Oprichniki for Warrants

Unlike standard Fatui skirmishers, Oprichniki are elite units found primarily in the high-tech zones of Nod-Krai. They drop Tattered, Immaculate, and Frost-etched Warrants.

Best Farming Spots

  • Kuu Hav Ki Experimental Design Bureau: This is the "gold mine" for Warrants. There are groups of Oprichniki patrolling the perimeter and the main entrance.
  • Stars and Shoal: Small camps can be found along the coastline, though they are more spread out.

Oprichniki units often come in pairs, such as the Fireblade Shock Trooper and the Hailstorm Cannoneer. Be prepared for aggressive elemental combos that can freeze or vaporize your characters. Bringing a shielder like Zhongli or a strong healer is essential if you are under-leveled.

When to Farm Moonlight Talent Books

The Lightless Capital domain on Lempo Isle is where you can obtain the Moonlight talent books. This domain rotates its rewards daily.

  • Monday, Thursday, and Sunday: Moonlight series (Lauma’s materials).
  • Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday: Elysium series.
  • Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday: Vagrancy series.

Since Sunday offers all books, it is the best time to burn your Condensed Resin. However, during the week, you should strictly save your resin for Mondays and Thursdays to avoid getting the wrong series.

Weekly Boss: Lord of Eroded Primal Fire

For Talent levels 7 and above, you need the Eroded Scale-Feather. This is a drop from the weekly Trounce Domain: Stone Stele Records, located in the Tezcatepetenco Range of Natlan.

Accessing this boss requires completion of the Archon Quest Chapter V: Act V – Incandescent Ode of Resurrection. If you are a newer player who hasn't reached this part of the story, you can use the "Quick Challenge" feature in the Adventurer Handbook to fight the boss without finishing the quest, provided you are at least Adventure Rank 40.

Summary of Total Costs

Building Lauma is a marathon, not a sprint. To reach her full potential as a Dendro sub-DPS, you should prioritize your farming in the following order:

  1. Radiant Moonfly: Get her to Level 80/90 first to unlock her final Ascension passive.
  2. Moonlight Books: Focus on her Elemental Burst to Level 9.
  3. Warrants: These are needed for both Ascension and Talents, so make a daily habit of clearing the Kuu Hav Ki bureau.
  4. Weekly Boss: Since you can only do this once a week, never skip your Stone Stele Records run.

FAQ

What is the best way to farm Moonfall Silver? The best way is to set your in-game time to midnight and follow the path around the Frostmoon Enclave. Using characters that reduce stamina consumption for sprinting or swimming will help you navigate the Lempo Isle terrain faster.

Can I get Nagadus Emerald from other bosses? Yes. While the Radiant Moonfly is the most efficient (as it gives the scale-feathers too), you can also get Nagadus Emerald from the Dendro Hypostasis, Jadeplume Terrorshroom, and the Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King.

How many Warrants do I need in total? For Level 90 and 10/10/10 Talents, you need 36 Tattered, 96 Immaculate, and 129 Frost-etched Warrants.

Is Lauma's signature weapon material different? Yes. Her signature weapon, Nightweaver's Looking Glass, requires Arcane Devices, Frostnight Glimmer, and Drive Shafts, which are different from her character ascension materials.

Should I level Lauma to 90? Absolutely. As a Dendro character focused on reactions like Bloom and Hyperbloom, the damage scaling significantly improves with character level, making the jump from 80 to 90 highly valuable for her.
