For a level 90 Flins with all three talents at level 10, plan for 168 Frostlamp Flowers, 46 Precision Kuuvahki Stamping Dies, three complete Vajrada Amethyst gem tiers, Drive Shaft drops, Vagrancy books, 18 Ascended Sample: Queen items, three Crowns of Insight, 419 Hero’s Wit, and 7,050,030 Mora. The full checklist below separates open-world items from resin- and schedule-gated rewards so you can farm what your account can currently access.
GameWith’s Genshin Strategy Team estimates around 2,500 Original Resin or more at World Level 9 for the complete package, but that is only an estimate: drop quantities are random, weekly rewards are time-gated, and some materials require access to Nod-Krai. Check the live schedule and drop results in-game before committing your resin.
What materials does Flins need for level 90 and triple-crown talents?
The following is the maximum-build total for level 90 Flins and all three talents at level 10. GameWith’s Genshin Strategy Team published these figures in its guide updated October 6, 2026; HoYoWiki also lists Flins and his ascension materials.
| Category | Material | Total needed | How it is used |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ascension gems | Vajrada Amethyst Sliver | 1 | Character ascension |
| Ascension gems | Vajrada Amethyst Fragment | 9 | |
| Ascension gems | Vajrada Amethyst Chunk | 9 | |
| Ascension gems | Vajrada Amethyst Gemstone | 6 | |
| Local specialty | Frostlamp Flower | 168 | Character ascension |
| World-boss drop | Precision Kuuvahki Stamping Die | 46 | Character ascension |
| Enemy drops | Broken Drive Shaft | 36 | Character ascension and talent levels |
| Enemy drops | Reinforced Drive Shaft | 96 | |
| Enemy drops | Precision Drive Shaft | 129 | |
| Talent books | Teachings of Vagrancy | 9 | All three talents |
| Talent books | Guide to Vagrancy | 63 | |
| Talent books | Philosophies of Vagrancy | 114 | |
| Weekly-boss drop | Ascended Sample: Queen | 18 | All three talents |
| Special currency | Crown of Insight | 3 | One for each level-10 talent |
| Experience | Hero’s Wit | 419 | Character experience |
| Currency | Mora | 7,050,030 | Ascension, talent levels, and character leveling |
For the source totals and the complete level-90, three-talent target, see GameWith’s Flins Ascension and Talent Materials Guide. The HoYoWiki Flins entry is a useful identity and ascension-material cross-check.
These are maximum requirements, not a prerequisite to begin leveling. If you plan talent levels below 10, reduce the Vagrancy books, Ascended Sample: Queen drops, Crowns of Insight, and talent Mora to match your target. Ascension materials remain separate from talent materials, so do not spend weekly-boss drops expecting them to replace the Knuckle Duckle items.
Which Flins materials are for ascension and which are for talents?
Ascension raises Flins through his character-level milestones; talents improve his combat abilities. Their farming sources overlap only for Drive Shaft enemy drops, while the most restrictive items come from different activities.
Ascension materials
- Vajrada Amethyst is the elemental gem line.
- Frostlamp Flowers are Nod-Krai local specialties.
- Precision Kuuvahki Stamping Dies come from the Knuckle Duckle world boss.
- Broken, Reinforced, and Precision Drive Shafts are enemy drops from Landcruisers.
Talent materials
- Vagrancy books come from the Lightless Capital mastery domain.
- Ascended Sample: Queen comes from the weekly boss The Game Before the Gate.
- Crowns of Insight are required only for the final level of each talent.
- Talent Mora is spent as you raise each ability, so you can delay the highest levels while building a reserve.
Because the weekly item and Crowns are the hardest parts to accelerate, decide your intended talent levels before spending resin on books. You can start with a lower target and raise the talents later when your weekly drops and Crowns arrive.
Where do I farm Frostlamp Flowers?
Frostlamp Flowers grow in Nod-Krai, primarily around Final Night Cemetery on Paha Isle and Frostmoon Enclave on Hiisi Island. GameWith’s guide states that the specialty respawns every 48 hours, so a single world may not provide the full 168 quickly.
Frostlamp Flower route
- Unlock access to Nod-Krai and travel to Paha Isle and Hiisi Island.
- Start at Final Night Cemetery and collect every visible Frostlamp Flower before moving through nearby paths.
- Repeat the sweep at Frostmoon Enclave on Hiisi Island.
- Use the in-game map while following the route; the guide also references Eye of Kratti and other Nod-Krai areas, so mark plants you miss.
- Return after the 48-hour respawn window. If you need the full total sooner, ask another player for permission to collect in their world rather than waiting for your own reset.
Local specialties are exploration-gated rather than resin-gated. If Nod-Krai, the relevant islands, or the route itself is not available on your account, reserve your resin for accessible domains and bosses while you unlock the region. Do not treat a partial first sweep as evidence that the world contains the whole requirement; spawn coverage and route familiarity affect your count.
How do I get Flins’s Drive Shaft enemy drops?
Landcruisers drop Broken Drive Shafts, Reinforced Drive Shafts, and Precision Drive Shafts. The guide places most Landcruisers around Paha Isle and recommends the Adventurer’s Handbook for tracking, while warning that the handbook does not display every location.
Efficient enemy-drop farming
- Open the Adventurer’s Handbook and track a Landcruiser entry to reveal a current target.
- Defeat every Landcruiser on the route instead of stopping after the first marked group; unlisted spawns can fill gaps in your total.
- Collect drops before leaving and check your inventory by tier.
- Use the Crafting Bench to combine lower-tier drops when your inventory has enough of them; this does not create materials without the underlying enemy drops.
Landcruisers are open-world enemies, so this part costs no Original Resin. Their drop tiers are random, making the exact number of encounters unpredictable. If the Handbook route ends before you reach your target, search the surrounding Paha Isle terrain or continue in a permitted co-op world.
Where do I farm Precision Kuuvahki Stamping Dies?
Flins needs 46 Precision Kuuvahki Stamping Dies from the Knuckle Duckle world boss. GameWith locates Knuckle Duckle near the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop and lists a 40 Original Resin cost when claiming the reward.
World-boss procedure
- Unlock the area containing the Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop and the Knuckle Duckle challenge.
- Defeat Knuckle Duckle and open the reward screen.
- Claim the reward for 40 Original Resin.
- Repeat until you have enough dies, checking the actual drop quantity each time rather than budgeting from an assumed fixed yield.
The same fight also contributes to the Vajrada Amethyst gem supply when those gems are included in its reward table. Because both the die and gem drops can vary, keep a small gem reserve and compare your inventory after every claim.
Which days are Flins’s Vagrancy talent books available?
Teachings, Guide, and Philosophies of Vagrancy come from the Lightless Capital Domain of Mastery. GameWith lists Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday for this material line. Domain rewards rotate by day, however, so verify the live calendar in the domain screen before spending resin; HoYoverse gives the same general guidance for talent-material domains.
Book-farming routine
- Open the Lightless Capital domain and check the day’s displayed reward before entering.
- Farm on Wednesday, Saturday, or Sunday when Vagrancy is listed.
- Record the three tiers separately: Teachings, Guides, and Philosophies.
- At a Crafting Bench, combine lower-tier books into higher tiers when needed for a talent level.
- Stop when you have enough for your chosen talent target; the triple-crown totals are not required for a partial build.
Only the domain’s displayed schedule is authoritative for your account and current game version. If the domain is showing a different material, wait for the next Vagrancy day rather than assuming the weekly pattern has changed permanently.
For general explanations of rotating domain rewards and material farming, consult HoYoverse’s talent-upgrade materials help article.
How do I farm Ascended Sample: Queen for Flins’s talents?
Ascended Sample: Queen is the weekly-boss material for Flins’s talent levels. It comes from The Game Before the Gate at Falcon Coast in Mondstadt, not from the Knuckle Duckle ascension fight.
Weekly-boss pacing
- Travel to Falcon Coast in Mondstadt and unlock The Game Before the Gate if it is not already available.
- Defeat the boss and claim the weekly reward.
- Check which weekly material dropped before deciding whether conversion is necessary.
- Repeat on the next weekly reset until you reach the amount required by your talent targets.
GameWith estimates as many as 18 weeks for the triple-crown total if you receive one needed drop per weekly attempt. That is a pacing estimate, not a guarantee: your reward may differ, and converting other weekly-boss drops can shorten the wait when the game permits the exchange. Start this boss as soon as it is unlocked because no amount of extra daily resin can remove the weekly limit.
How much Original Resin should I budget?
GameWith estimates around 2,500 Original Resin or more at World Level 9 for all Flins materials. The figure includes the random yields from bosses and domains and should be treated as a planning range, not a guaranteed bill.
- Known fixed cost: claiming a Knuckle Duckle reward is listed at 40 Original Resin per attempt.
- Variable costs: talent-domain and boss rewards depend on the quantity and tier you receive.
- Non-resin farming: Frostlamp Flowers and Landcruiser drops come from exploration and combat in the open world, although travel and respawn time still apply.
- Weekly gate: Ascended Sample: Queen is limited by the weekly reward cycle, so resin availability does not determine the entire calendar time.
Your actual total can be higher or lower because drop tables are random, your World Level may differ from World Level 9, and you may already own gems, books, enemy drops, Mora, or experience materials. Treat the estimate as a reserve target and update it after each run instead of spending until an assumed number is reached.
What should I farm first for Flins?
There is no universal most-efficient order for every account. Use access and gating as the decision rule: collect items that cost no resin when available, start weekly rewards early, and spend resin on activities whose schedule or unlock requirements could otherwise delay your chosen talent target.
| Priority | Material source | Why it belongs here | When to delay it |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Weekly boss: The Game Before the Gate | Weekly reward limits create the longest calendar gate. | If the boss is not unlocked, begin unlocking the required content. |
| 2 | Frostlamp Flowers | They are open-world items with a 48-hour respawn and a finite local route. | Delay the route if Nod-Krai or the islands are inaccessible. |
| 3 | Landcruisers | Drive Shaft drops cost no resin and can be collected while exploring Paha Isle. | Use the Handbook and nearby routes when marked targets run out. |
| 4 | Knuckle Duckle | It supplies the 46-die ascension requirement but consumes resin per claim. | Wait if Flins is not ready for ascension and your resin is needed for a time-limited domain. |
| 5 | Lightless Capital | Vagrancy books are restricted to listed domain days and are needed in large quantities for high talents. | Farm another activity when the live schedule does not show Vagrancy. |
This order is a framework, not a claim that one route is mathematically optimal. An account that has already collected flowers may prioritize books, while an account still locked out of Nod-Krai should spend its available resin elsewhere and work on access.
What is the practical pre-farming checklist?
Use this checklist to avoid mixing ascension and talent targets or spending resin before a gate is available.
- Choose your talent ceiling. Decide whether you are stopping below level 10 or pursuing all three crowns. Scale books, weekly drops, Crowns, and talent Mora accordingly.
- Check access. Confirm that Nod-Krai, Paha Isle, Hiisi Island, Lightless Capital, Knuckle Duckle, and The Game Before the Gate are available to your account.
- Start the weekly boss. Claim the weekly reward whenever the reset allows and track Ascended Sample: Queen separately from other weekly drops.
- Run the open-world routes. Gather Frostlamp Flowers, then clear Landcruisers around Paha Isle and inspect the Handbook for additional marked targets.
- Reserve resin for the world boss. Spend 40 Original Resin per claimed Knuckle Duckle reward as listed, and count the dies you actually receive.
- Farm books on the correct day. Check Lightless Capital’s live schedule, then use the Crafting Bench to consolidate lower tiers.
- Audit your inventory. Compare gems, Drive Shafts, books, weekly drops, Hero’s Wit, Mora, and Crowns with your selected target before farming another category.
How should I budget Mora and experience books?
The maximum list includes 7,050,030 Mora and 419 Hero’s Wit. These are general upgrade resources rather than Flins-exclusive drops, so they can be prepared independently while you wait for a domain day or weekly reset.
HoYoverse identifies Ley Line Outcrops (Blossoms of Wealth), daily commissions, quests, the Battle Pass, and limited-time events as Mora sources. Paimon’s Bargains is another in-game exchange option. Event availability and shop rotations change, so check the current notices and exchange screen instead of assuming every source is active.
Hero’s Wit is consumed when leveling Flins, while Mora is also required for ascension and each talent upgrade. Keep the required currency available before raising a talent: collecting the books without enough Mora can leave the level locked even when every drop is in your inventory.
What are the most common pre-farming mistakes?
Confusing the two boss materials
Precision Kuuvahki Stamping Die is the Knuckle Duckle world-boss drop for ascension. Ascended Sample: Queen is the weekly-boss drop from The Game Before the Gate for talents. They are not interchangeable.
Farming books on the wrong day
The published Wednesday/Saturday/Sunday pattern is a planning aid, not a substitute for the domain’s live schedule. Open Lightless Capital and confirm the reward shown before using resin.
Assuming a fixed boss yield
The 2,500-plus resin figure and all boss totals are estimates based on variable drops. Record actual rewards after each claim and adjust your remaining budget.
Trying to collect every item before leveling
You can ascend Flins and raise selected talents in stages. A triple-crown inventory is only necessary if that is your intended endpoint.
Relying on every Handbook marker
The Adventurer’s Handbook may omit some Landcruiser locations. Search nearby Paha Isle routes when the marked list ends and collect the drops from every defeated group.
Frequently asked questions
Can I pre-farm Flins materials before unlocking Nod-Krai?
You can prepare general resources, Mora, experience books, accessible gems, and any available weekly rewards before reaching Nod-Krai. Frostlamp Flowers and the Landcruiser route described for Flins require access to the relevant Nod-Krai areas, so those parts must wait until the region and travel routes are open.
How do I know whether I have enough materials for a partial talent build?
Compare your inventory with the level target shown in Flins’s talent screen rather than the triple-crown total. The game displays the next level’s books, weekly item, Mora, and enemy drops, letting you raise one ability without first collecting the requirements for all three level-10 talents.
What should I do when the Vagrancy domain is unavailable today?
Do not spend resin on an incorrect material simply because the domain is open. Farm an accessible boss or ley line, gather open-world items, or wait for the next Vagrancy day shown on the Lightless Capital schedule.
Why is my weekly-boss timeline longer than the resin estimate?
Resin estimates describe how much currency activities may consume; they do not bypass the weekly reward limit. Even with enough Original Resin, an account can need multiple weekly resets to obtain the required Ascended Sample: Queen drops.
