The newest upcoming 5-Star Genshin Impact unit, called Xianyun, could easily be one of the most highly-anticipated characters of all time! Large parts of the community can’t wait until her banner finally drops, but until then we can use the time to farm all the materials we need to instantly max out our Xianyun!
Even though Xianyun will only become a playable character in Genshin Impact with the upcoming version 4.4, she has been there to help us out ever since our adventure in Liyue in the earlier days of the Archon story line.
“She's someone you can truly rely on when the going gets tough. If you ever find yourself in trouble, just tell her — I'm sure she'd be willing to help.” — Madam Ping about Xianyun
However, the first time we were meeting her back then, she was still in her animal form. Now, of course, we know what an extremely elegant and beautiful woman is hiding behind the Cloud Retainer and many players have fallen in love with her design! If you're one of them, you should better start farming Xianyun's materials quickly, her banner is not far away!
Genshin Impact: Xianyun Farming Guide
There is much more than meets the eye when it comes to Xianyun, or how many of you also call her, the Cloud Retainer. On the outside, she is simply an elegant and educated lady, who likes to cook. People in Liyue describe her as someone who's witty, chatty, warm-hearted, and easy to get along with.
But that's not how Xianyun sees herself. In her own eyes, she's inarticulate and reserved, but proud. Aside from her mastery of mechanics and knack for making all kinds of little trinkets, it's an entirely different image from how others would describe her.

Genshin Impact: Xianyun Talent Materials
Unfortunately, now the hard part is about to start: the talents! Many players underestimate how important it is to level your character's talents, and then they wonder why nothing is working out! Don’t make the same mistake and farm the following things in advance:
- 4,950,000 Mora
- 9x Teachings of Gold
- 63x Guide to Guild

Uff, that’s quite a lot of stuff!
However, always remember, that not every singe talent needs to be maxed out! The normal attack of many characters isn’t used that often for instance, so spread your resources wisely! It’s expensive enough already…
