Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Scaramouche’s Ascension
1. Where can I find Vayuda Turquoise?
Vayuda Turquoise is primarily obtained by defeating Anemo Hypostasis and Maguu Kenki. You can also convert other elemental gems into Vayuda Turquoise using Dust of Azoth at a crafting table. The Aeonblight Drake also drops Vayuda Turquoise, making it an efficient boss to farm since you need its boss material as well.
2. What’s the fastest way to farm Rukkhashava Mushrooms?
Rukkhashava Mushrooms are found in specific locations in Sumeru, often around trees and large mushrooms in the rainforest. Check interactive maps online for precise locations and farming routes.
