Crystal Chunk in Genshin Impact is an essential material for crafting rare weapons and gadgets. Their locations are usually in caves or mines and can be obtained by destroying crystal ore deposits with a character that uses a Claymore weapon. With a respawn time of 72 hours, each broken ores will drop 1-3 Crystal Chunks. You can farm with your friends in co-op mode or join another player’s world if you already collected every Crystal Chunk in your world.

Magical Crystal Chunk Locations
The Magical Crystal Ore only starts spawning in your world after reaching Adventure Rank 30. These magical blue crystals are used to forge Mystic Enhancement Ore with Original resin and there are more than 16 respawnable locations but the number of daily respawn of ore reserve is random every day at 4 a.m server time.
There are 6 in Mondstadt and 10 in Liyue and each region will have 4 NPC that will mark your map for the locations of the Magical Crystal Ore reserve. If you are specifically farming for Magical Crystal Chunk only, this guide will help you.
Mondstadt Region
The blacksmith in Mondstadt will provide you the locations of 3 Magical Crystal Ore reserves while the other 3 NPC will provide 0-3 locations.
Wagner
You can find Davy the cliff in Brightcrown Canyon.
Draff’s Location
You can find Doolan at the Thousand Wind Temple in this location during day time and night time is slightly different. He will be at the campsite during night time and closer to the temple during day time.
Master Zhang
Pan Guan’er is located at the east of Qingyun Peak waypoint. Talk to him and he will mark your map for Magical Crystal Ore locations.
Iron Shoulder’s Location
Travel to the southwest mining area for Linju Pass and talk to Shizhuang the Strong and he will mark your map for Magical Crystal Ore locations.
If one of the ore reserves spawns in Stormterror’s Lair or Quingyun Peak, all ore remaining ore reserves that will spawn for that day will be in the same areas. It is recommended to go through each Crystal Ore locations using our Route for Stormterror and Quinyun Peak to farm these Crystals without having to talk to the NPCs for the next locations.
And that’s everything thing you need to know about where to farm Crystal Chunk in Genshin Impact. What do you think of this guide? If you have a question or a suggestion do let us know in the comment below.
Is there an inazuma route ?
Amazing nice work!!
Most Efficient Route:
Qingce village – Mt. Aocang – Qinyun Peak (West) – Qinyun Peak East – Cuijue Slope – Nantiamen* – Tianqiu Valley* – Dunyu Ruins – Mt. Tianheng – Lingju Pass – Qingxu Pool* – Guyun Stone Forest – Stormbearer – Thousand Winds Temple* – Dawn Winery – Wolvendom – Stormterror’s Lair Centre and West.
*Nantiamen: Above the teleport waypoint. Sometime it will have ore veins
*Tianqiu Valley: North of teleport waypoint, near the boars. Sometime it will have ore veins.
*Qingxu Pool: Cave below the ruins & Underpass on Fatui Agent. Sometime it will have ore veins.
*Thousand Winds Temple: Northeast from Domain, on the map go to the small grey triangle area by the sea and go down the cliff. Sometime it will have ore veins.
Bonus:
1 more on Stormterror’s Lair, on the north of the square shaped ruins. (right side from teleport waypoint)
Qingyun peak, between 14 & 15, you missed 1 spot, go down below the tents and right of number 17 there is one above the domain.
Thank youuuuuu
Damn so hard working man thanks!
thank you! this is so much better than using interactive map for crystal chunks
On Qingyun Peak beetwen 14 and 15 are another crystal there (I farm it) https://prnt.sc/zmx00x
I have now 1500+ mystic ores with 10 weapons at level 70 and 2 at level 80. This farming route helped me a lot!
Heads up! you need to craft 992 pieces of these crystal chunks into mystic ores to enhance 1 4* weapon from level 80 to 90.
I currently have 538 and this is just beyond ridiculous. It costs almost twice of what you need from level one to 80 just to get from 80 to 90. I guess my Razor is the only one getting any levels.
I use magical crystal chunk every night for weapon material, plus you get a bunch of experience from doing it.
I have been farming crystal chunk in genshin impact for a week now so i could make a weapon for my Diluc, this guide helped a lot
Love the updated guide! When going around to Co-op worlds to farm for crystals where do you suggest to start first?
I would start on mt. aozang and Tianheng route first before getting kicked out heheh
you forgot to add crystals in qingyun peak. other than that it’s perfect!
Nice a good farmer crystal,, thanks a lot!
