In Genshin Impact there are hundreds of items that you can obtain. Some are more common than others. We from MeinMMO show you the 10 rarest items and how to get them.
What is it about? There are items in the game that are quite rare to obtain. However, some are not as rare as they seem. You just have to know how and where to find them. Therefore, we list some items and tell you how you can obtain them.
This list does not include items that you currently cannot obtain or which were only available once in events. Except for the honorable mention, you can get every item without exception on any platform.
“Dark Iron Sword”
How to obtain the item? Teleport to the lower part of the capital Liyue and keep an eye out for the snack vendor “Chen the Swift Blade”. If you talk to him, he will reward you with the dark iron sword. This is only available once in the game, so as a collector, be careful not to accidentally use it as upgrade material and activate the lock.
What does the item do? The sword increases your Elemental Mastery value, and after any reactions from Electro, it increases your attack by 20% for 12 seconds. It might be worthwhile on characters that benefit from Elemental Mastery, trigger such reactions, and for whom you do not have a more suitable sword at hand. Kazuha would be one possibility.
Artifact: Chalice with Elemental Mastery
How to obtain the item? You can obtain artifacts in various spheres. They are divided into five different categories:
- Flower
- Feather
- Sundial
- Chalice
- Crown
The main stats for Flower (HP) and Feather (Attack) are the same across all artifacts. The Sundial, Chalice, and Crown can receive various bonuses as main stats. With a 2.5% chance of a chalice getting the main stat Elemental Mastery, it is considered the rarest artifact. By the way, the crown comes in close after with a 4% chance.
What does the item do? The Elemental Mastery value increases the damage of triggered reactions between elements. For example, if you apply Pyro with Hydro, a reaction occurs: “Vaporize”.
“Crown of Wisdom”
How to obtain the item? You can obtain crowns through time-limited events and offerings at the “Permafrost Tree” in the Dragonspine and the “Sacred Sakura” in Inazuma. So far, there are only 11 crowns in the game, four of which you can currently still obtain through the offerings.
What does the item do? If you want to bring a talent of your character to level 10, you are forced to use a crown. Since this item is so rare and has been distributed very little so far, you have to carefully choose your characters and their talents.
“Hunting Trap”
How to obtain the item? You can only obtain the “Hunting Trap” twice in the entire game during Razor’s story quest. You unlock it by completing Amber’s story quest and Act 3 of the main story prologue. In Razor’s quest you will eventually receive the task to collect raw meat from wild boars. You can do this either with the “Hunting Trap” or simply with your normal skills. If you do not use the hunting traps, you will keep them in your inventory after the quest. Some players keep them out of pure nostalgia.
What does the item do? With this item you can catch wild boars. They will drop more raw meat than usual if you scare them and let them run into the trap. Unfortunately, you cannot craft this item.
“Frog Pearl”
How to obtain the item? Frog pearls are obtained from gold frogs that like to roam near water or stones. These little rascals can only be found in Liyue so far. They only sit in places that lie north of the “Wangshu Inn”. If you stay at the shores there, you should soon be able to spot some. However, there are not many of them.
What does the item do? In fact, the frog pearl is one of the few items that currently has no utility for the player. Perhaps one day it can be used to craft medicine. At least, according to its description, it is said to be well-suited for that.

Boss Rewards
How to obtain the rewards? If you are able to defeat a boss for the first time outside of a quest, you have a chance at the rewards. By boss, we mean the weekly bosses:
- Dvalin
- Great Wolf King
- The Count (Childe)
- Azhdaha
It is pure luck whether you receive such an item and which one. You cannot influence this. Some players have already spent weeks trying to get the right items. The boss items and the unrefined weapons are multiple items, but they are all equally rare, which is why we count them as a single item.
Boss Items
Tail Feather, Claw and Breath of the East Wind: Dvalin 
Tail, Ring and Saddle of the North Wind: Wolf King 
Tusk, Demonic Garb and Soul: Childe 
Horn, Branch and Scale: Azhdaha
How to obtain the items? You need to raise your world level to at least five for the Great Wolf King to drop his boss items. For the other three, you only need adventure level 40.
What do the items do? The boss items are used to level up your characters’ talents. If you want to bring a talent to level 10, you need to possess 6 of the respective item.
“Dream Solution”
How to obtain the item? In addition to fighting the weekly bosses, you can obtain a “Dream Solution” from Zhongli’s story quest. Once you have access to the bosses outside of their quest, you can obtain dream solutions.
What does the item do? At the alchemy workbench, you can use the dream solution to convert your boss items of the same category. This means that for example the “Tail Feather of the East Wind” can be changed to the Claw or the Breath of the East Wind, but not to the other available boss items.
Unrefined Weapons
How to obtain the items? If you are able to defeat a boss for the first time outside of a quest, you have a chance of obtaining the raw materials of the five weapon types. Additionally, you can occasionally get some when you upgrade the “Permafrost Tree” in the Dragonspine and the “Sacred Sakura” in Inazuma. You can also rarely obtain them as event rewards.
What do the items do? You use the unrefined weapons at the blacksmith. He can craft a weapon that belongs to the same type as the raw material.
Dragon Teeth
How to obtain the items? The item “Life Energy Absorbing Dragon Tooth” is created from “Curious Tooth”, which is why we combined them as one item. You can find Curious Teeth only in Dragonspine, and there are only four of them. Moreover, you can only collect them every three days. When you pick up a tooth for the first time, it also starts a quest line. With this, you can ultimately turn the curious teeth into the item “Life Energy Absorbing Dragon Tooth” in the cave at the bones of the “Slumbering Dragon Valley”.
Tooth 1 
Tooth 2 
Tooth 3 
Tooth 4 
- You can find the first tooth southeast at the edge of Dragonspine. It is only a few steps west of the teleport.
- Using the teleport near the Cryo Hypostasis in the north, you can walk further north. The second tooth is in the middle of the larger open area, near some Fatui.
- The third tooth is located on a small island in the river to the north. You can easily reach it by using the teleport located east of the “Watcher’s Ridge” sphere.
- In the cave, near the skeleton bones, you will find the fourth curious tooth. It is right at the source where you can turn the teeth into dragon teeth.
What do the items do? Once you have completed the quest line and collected eight teeth, you can use them to craft the “Dragonspine Spear”. Provided you also have an unrefined polearm and have farmed 50 Starglitter Ore. All these required items make the “Dragonspine Spear” a difficult item to obtain.
“Night Jade”
How to obtain the item? Night jade can be found in mines and hidden small caves in Liyue. Additionally, Shitou sells five of the items in the capital Liyue every three days. You can find many mines that harbor this ore in Mingyun Village. Furthermore, there is also an increased occurrence of night jade on “Tianheng Mountain,” which is located west of the capital.
Many players consider night jade to be the rarest ore in the game. I subsequently went to the locations to see how much you can really obtain. During my round trip, I was able to collect about 50 night jade. Unfortunately, the ore takes two to three days to respawn.
What does the item do? Currently, Beidou and Yanfei require the ore to level up their characters. Each of them needs 168 night jade to fully level up.
Shitou is located north of the lower Liyue Teleporter

Bonus: “Sword of the Child”
How to obtain the item? Those of you who own a PlayStation will be happy: If you link your account with the PlayStation or are already playing on it, you will receive this sword as a gift. It is only available this way once and remains usable in your inventory if you switch to other devices.
What does the item do? Especially the main character benefits from the sword, as he can gain 66 points in attack when equipped with the weapon. Furthermore, it deals damage of 200% of the attack with a 50% chance when the enemy is hit with normal attacks or heavy strikes.
Have you already been able to get all the items on this list or is something still missing? Did we forget any important rare items? Are there items that you find too rarely? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
