Agnidus Agate Gemstones: Pyro’s Essence
Agnidus Agate is the elemental gemstone required for all Pyro characters, including Bennett. You’ll need slivers, fragments, chunks, and the gemstone itself as you ascend him.
- Where to Find Agnidus Agate: The primary source is defeating the Pyro Regisvine and Primo Geovishap. You can also obtain them from completing daily commissions (randomly), crafting them using lower-tier Agnidus Agate materials at an alchemy table, and occasionally as event rewards.
Everflame Seed: Fueling the Flame
The Everflame Seed is a character ascension material specifically dropped by the Pyro Regisvine located in Liyue.
- How to Obtain Everflame Seeds: You’ll need to defeat the Pyro Regisvine multiple times. The higher the World Level, the higher the chance of obtaining more Everflame Seeds per defeat.
Windwheel Aster: Mondstadt’s Emblem
Windwheel Asters are a local specialty of Mondstadt. They are beautiful, pinwheel-shaped flowers that Bennett needs for his ascension.
- Where to Find Windwheel Asters: They are commonly found near the Statue of the Seven in Windrise, around the Stormterror’s Lair area, and near the Dawn Winery. Using the interactive map is an efficient way to locate these flowers.
Treasure Hoarder Insignias: From Foes to Allies (Sort Of)
Treasure Hoarder Insignias and their upgraded versions, Silver Raven Insignias and Golden Raven Insignias, are enemy drops from Treasure Hoarders. These insignias are required to fully ascend Bennett.
- How to Obtain Treasure Hoarder Insignias: Treasure Hoarders are scattered across Teyvat, but they are particularly abundant in Liyue, specifically around the Mingyun Village area and the Guili Plains. The higher the level of the Treasure Hoarders, the higher the chance of them dropping Silver or Golden Raven Insignias. You can also craft higher-tier insignias from lower-tier ones at an alchemy table.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Bennett’s Ascension
Here are 15 frequently asked questions about ascending Bennett, providing further clarification and helpful tips:
1. How many Primogems do I need to farm the Pyro Regisvine for all of Bennett’s Everflame Seeds?
The exact number depends on your luck and World Level. Generally, you’ll need to spend approximately 1200-1600 Primogems to refresh Resin and defeat the Pyro Regisvine enough times to collect all 46 Everflame Seeds. This assumes you are starting from zero Resin. It’s best to use condensed resin for efficiency.
2. What’s the fastest way to farm Windwheel Asters?
Utilize the interactive map available online. Prioritize the areas around the Windrise Statue of the Seven and Stormterror’s Lair. Co-op with friends to gather flowers from their worlds, doubling or tripling your yield.
3. Where are the best locations to find Treasure Hoarders for their insignias?
Liyue, specifically around Mingyun Village and Guili Plains, are hotspot areas. Also, look along the riverbanks in Liyue. Utilize your Adventurer’s Handbook to track down Treasure Hoarders.
4. At what Adventure Rank can I start ascending Bennett to his max level?
You can start ascending Bennett once you reach Adventure Rank 15. However, you’ll need to reach Adventure Rank 50 to fully ascend him to Level 90. World Level restrictions apply at each ascension phase.
5. Is it worth ascending Bennett to level 90?
For Bennett, absolutely yes! His Elemental Burst scales directly with his Base ATK. Ascending him to level 90 significantly increases his Base ATK, thus boosting his healing and attack buff. This is particularly important for support Bennett builds.
6. Can I use the Parametric Transformer to obtain Agnidus Agate?
Yes, you can. While the output is random, using Pyro-related materials in the Parametric Transformer increases the chance of getting Agnidus Agate.
7. Is Bennett a good character to invest in?
Without a doubt! Bennett is widely considered one of the best supports in Genshin Impact. His healing, ATK buff, and Pyro application make him valuable in virtually any team composition.
8. What Talents should I prioritize when leveling up Bennett’s talents after ascending him?
Prioritize Bennett’s Elemental Burst (Fantastic Voyage). This is the source of his healing and ATK buff. Leveling his Elemental Skill (Passion Overload) is less crucial, especially if you primarily use him as a support.
9. Does Bennett need constellation to be good?
Bennett is excellent even at C0 (no constellations). However, his C1 (Fantastic Voyage) significantly improves his ATK buff, making him even more powerful. While his C6 (Fire Ventures with Me) is controversial (it infuses his Burst’s affected area with Pyro), the benefits can be substantial.
10. What weapons are best for Bennett, considering his Base ATK scaling?
Weapons with high Base ATK are ideal. Examples include the Aquila Favonia, Skyward Blade, and Sapwood Blade (crafted from Sumeru’s reputation reward). Energy Recharge is also important to ensure consistent Burst uptime, so weapons like the Favonius Sword are also viable.
11. What artifact sets are best for Bennett?
The most popular and effective artifact set for Bennett is the Noblesse Oblige (4-piece). This set increases the team’s ATK after Bennett uses his Elemental Burst. The Emblem of Severed Fate is another excellent option as it boosts Energy Recharge and Burst damage.
12. How do I unlock the ability to craft Agnidus Agate at the alchemy table?
The ability to craft Agnidus Agate is unlocked by default. Simply interact with an alchemy table and select the crafting option. You’ll need three lower-tier gemstones to craft one of the next higher tier.
13. Can I purchase Windwheel Asters from any vendor?
No, Windwheel Asters cannot be purchased from any vendor in the game. They must be found in the open world.
14. Does Bennett need to be in the party while exploring to find Windwheel Asters?
No, Bennett does not need to be in the party to find Windwheel Asters. The flowers are present in the open world regardless of your party composition.
15. Is it worth using Fragile Resin to farm materials for Bennett’s ascension?
Generally, it’s recommended to save Fragile Resin for late-game content such as domains. However, if you’re really eager to ascend Bennett quickly, using a few Fragile Resin to farm the Pyro Regisvine is acceptable, especially during events that offer increased rewards.
By understanding the materials required for Bennett’s ascension and following these tips, you can efficiently build this exceptional character and unlock his full potential! Happy adventuring!
