The Intricately Patterned Button in Genshin Impact is a currency you earn from Jack Frost content across Snezhnaya. Many players pick up a handful of these from chests early on and have no idea what they are for. This guide explains exactly where they come from, where the shop is, how to unlock it, and what you should buy first.
If you are working through the House of Hesperides content to farm more buttons, our guide on all House of Hesperides challenges covers every challenge and chest location in the mansion. You can also check our Hide-and-Seek Jack Frosts quest guide for one of the quickest button sources inside the mansion.
What Is the Intricately Patterned Button?
The Intricately Patterned Button is a special trade currency introduced in Genshin Impact version 7.0 along with the Snezhnaya region. It is connected entirely to the Jack Frost snowman-like creatures who live across Snezhnaya. Jack Frosts are snowman-like creatures who are alive and have thoughts and feelings. While exploring the Cryo region, you will encounter many Jack Frosts. Some are part of a quest, while others are part of a challenge.
Unlike Primogems or Mora, you cannot use the Intricately Patterned Button directly on any item in the open world. It only has one purpose: spending it at the Jack Frosts’ Goodies Shop in Jack Frost Village.
How to Get Intricately Patterned Buttons
Most of the time, when a Jack Frost-related mission gives you a chest, that chest will contain one to three Intricately Patterned Buttons. Typically, a Common Chest contains one Button, an Exquisite Chest has two, while a Precious Chest holds three.
Here are all the main sources of Intricately Patterned Buttons in Snezhnaya:
House of Hesperides Challenges
This is the richest and most reliable source of buttons. The House of Hesperides is packed with Jack Frost challenges, and almost every challenge rewards a chest containing buttons. Do not skip any of the mansion’s challenges — each chest is a chance to collect more buttons for exclusive rewards. Our House of Hesperides challenges guide lists every challenge you can complete inside the mansion.
Key House of Hesperides button sources include:
- Hide-and-Seek Jack Frosts quest — find three hiding Jack Frosts on the Main Floor. Rewards an Exquisite Chest with Intricately Patterned Buttons. See our Hide-and-Seek Jack Frosts guide for exact locations.
- Vershina’s Kitchen challenge — answer Vershina’s questions correctly to earn chests. Our Vershina’s Challenge guide has all the answers.
- Locked Door quest — find the Key of Ancient Design hidden in the Matryoshka dolls on the Main Floor and use it to free a trapped Jack Frost. See our Locked Door quest guide for the full solution.
- Excitement-Loving Jack Frost challenge — another Jack Frost challenge inside the mansion. Our Excitement-Loving Jack Frost guide covers this one.
- Wine Cellar challenge — triggered during the Hide-and-Seek quest when you find the third hidden Jack Frost. Rewards a Precious Chest.
Jack Frost Village Quests and Challenges
Several quests and encounters in and around Jack Frost Village also reward buttons:
- Dizzy Jack Frost quest — help the Jack Frosts arrange their igloos in the right layout. Rewards a Precious Chest with Intricately Patterned Buttons. Check our Dizzy Jack Frost quest guide for the correct igloo arrangement.

How to Win the Race With Jack Frost
One more button source worth doing is the Jack Frost race challenge. Winning it is the easiest Precious Chest in the village. Our How to Win the Race With Jack Frost guide explains the exact route and tips to beat it.

Jack Frosts’ Goodies Shop Location
The Jack Frost Village is located southeast of Snezhnograd, north of Svetloledovka and the House of Hesperides. It is a distinctive settlement of igloo-style homes built by and for Jack Frost snowmen. You can see it clearly on the map as a cluster of round structures between the two larger landmarks.
The Jack Frosts’ Goodies Shop is inside Jack Frost Village itself. Look for the shop near the center of the settlement. The Village Chief Jack Frost runs the shop and is the NPC you interact with to make exchanges.
The fastest way to reach Jack Frost Village is to take the train to Svetloledovka Station and then head northeast, crossing the icy hills until you arrive at the village. Alternatively, if you have already visited the village before, use its Teleport Waypoint to fast travel directly.
How to Unlock the Jack Frosts’ Goodies Shop
You must complete the Small Jack Frost, Big Problems quest in Genshin Impact to unlock the Jack Frosts’ Goodies Shop. Before you do the mission, you won’t find the shop or the trader.
Here is how to unlock and complete Small Jack Frost, Big Problems:
How to Start Small Jack Frost, Big Problems
Small Jack Frost, Big Problems is located at Jack Frost Village, in the nation of Snezhnaya. Board the train and depart for the Svetloledovka Station. From there, head northeast and traverse the icy hills to get to Jack Frost Village. You must have completed Gunfire in the Silent Lands first — this is what gives you the Eye of Graeae, which you need for the quest’s puzzle mechanics.
When you arrive at the village, you will find several Jack Frosts in trouble. Help the Jack Frosts by using the Prime Ice Construct mechanic to free them from their respective traps and kickstart the quest. Free at least two or three of them to trigger the Village Chief to appear.
The Snowball Launcher Defense
After helping the Jack Frosts, a group of Volkodlaks attack the village. You need to defend the Jack Frosts using a Snowball Launcher. The launcher is built using a blueprint you get from the village. Enter the launcher construct and aim to hit the incoming enemies. Focus on the route where enemies are most concentrated.
If the launcher gets destroyed during the fight, you can rebuild it using the copied blueprint. Keep defending until all the Volkodlaks are cleared.
Fix the Shop Sign
After the defense is over, the Jack Frosts will gather at a shop with a broken sign. The Village Chief will ask you to fix it using the snowball launcher. Enter the construct and aim to go through the ring to fix the sign. A short cutscene will then play that grants you access to the Jack Frosts’ Goodies Shop.
From this point on, the shop is open and you can spend all the Intricately Patterned Buttons you have collected.
What to Buy at the Jack Frosts’ Goodies Shop
The Jack Frosts’ Goodies Shop stocks several items. You need to exchange around 130 Intricately Patterned Buttons to get all the items and unlock the 3,000 Mora exchange. Here is what is available:
Exclusive Cosmetics
- A Touch of Frost in Scorching Summer! — an exclusive weapon skin for sword-type weapons. This is the rarest and most sought-after item in the shop. It is only available here, so prioritize it if you want the cosmetic.
- Construct Appearance: Jack Frost — a cosmetic skin for your Prime Ice Constructs. Instead of plain ice blocks and grappling hooks, your constructs will take on a Jack Frost snowman appearance. A fun visual for players who use Prime Ice Constructs frequently throughout Snezhnaya.
Materials and Resources
- Level-up materials — Hero’s Wit and other character upgrade materials exchangeable with buttons.
- Snezhnayan collectibles — regional items available for trade.
- Mora exchange — once you have purchased the main items, remaining buttons can be converted to Mora at a rate of 3,000 Mora per exchange.
What to Buy First
If you are deciding on priority, get the A Touch of Frost in Scorching Summer! weapon skin first. It is the most exclusive item in the shop and not available anywhere else. After that, pick up the Construct Appearance: Jack Frost cosmetic if you like the visual. Use leftover buttons on level-up materials, and convert any remaining surplus to Mora.
Tips for Farming Intricately Patterned Buttons
- Do every House of Hesperides challenge before leaving. Open your Eye of Graeae while inside the mansion to display a floor map of the House of Hesperides. This shows which rooms and areas you have and have not visited, helping you track down any challenges you missed.
- Do not spend buttons before the shop opens. If you have collected buttons but have not yet completed Small Jack Frost, Big Problems, just hold onto them. They do not expire and will be waiting for you once the shop unlocks.
- Precious Chests are the most efficient source. Each Precious Chest from a Jack Frost challenge gives three buttons at once. Focus on completing Jack Frost quests that reward Precious Chests over Common Chests when you have a choice.
- Check out our In the Dwelling of Life quest guide to progress through Snezhnaya’s main world quests, which unlock more areas where Jack Frost content can be found.
