What are Electro Crystals?
Electro Crystals are a type of material typically used for creating Insulation Potion and Oils. This crystal absorbs energy from the air, making it hard to harvest. When you stand near an electro crystal, it absorbs the Electro energy in the air and damages you, making it challenging to collect.
How to get Electro Crystals
So how do you get electro crystals? We recommend using a long-range pyro user like Amber so you can overload the crystals from afar. Any Pyro character works as well, so you can use the elemental skills of Klee and Diluc to harvest the Electro Crystals as well. However, Amber is the most suitable character for farming Electro Crystals, because of her charged Pyro attack.
Farming Locations
There are different farming locations for Electro Crystals in Genshin Impact. Some NPCs also sell Electro Crystals and we will discuss them all below.
Cape Oath
In the Mondstadt region, you can find multiple spawns of Electro Crystals on the Cape Oath. This area can give you four to six electro crystal per spawn. You can also find several chests in this area as well.
Wuwang Hill
You can also find Electro Crystals near Wuwang Hill as well. You will find a pathway to the Oceanid Boss that has multiple spawns of Electro Crystals. Aside from Electro Crystals, you can also find Cor Lapis, which is used for crafting Unmoving Essential Oils and more.
South of Mingyun Village
Another area that you can use to farm Electro Crystals is south of Mingyun Village. You can get to the Electro Crystals by jumping off the wooden bridge and landing on top of the crystals. There are three Electro Crystal spawns that you can find in this area.
Yaoguang Shoal
The fourth area you can find Electro Crystals is on the beach. You can find a teleporter near here and Electro Crystal Spawns. A Cicin Mage also regularly spawns in this area so be careful when farming the crystals.
Luhua Pool
Lastly, you can find a lot of Electro Crystal Spawns by the bridge on the pathway to the domain. There will be a lot of Electro Slimes in the area as well, so be sure to defeat them before farming the crystals.
