Mitya Materials — Complete List

Where to Farm Each Material
Crystalfold — Mitya’s Local Specialty
Crystalfold is a new local specialty introduced in the Version 7.2 Snezhnaya expansion. It cannot be farmed before the update launches. Once Version 7.2 is live, Crystalfold nodes spawn throughout the new Snezhnaya areas — they respawn every 48 hours, so a full sweep of 168 typically takes two to three in-game respawn cycles. The quickest approach on launch day is to do a full exploration sweep of the new region, pick up every node you spot, then come back two days later for the respawn. You can also speed this up later using the Serenitea Pot gardening system once seeds become available.
Shattered Stabilizing Anchor — World Boss Drop
The Shattered Stabilizing Anchor drops from the Wavebinder, a new world boss added in Version 7.2 in Snezhnaya. It costs Original Resin to claim drops. At World Level 8, you can expect two to three pieces per clear — meaning roughly 16 to 23 boss runs to collect all 46 needed for ascension. Combine your Wavebinder runs with nearby Chimeric enemy spawns to save resin on separate trips. The Wavebinder is also the same boss tied to the boss challenge content in the new region.
Chimeric Enemy Drops — Chimeric Core, Symbiotic Chimeric Nucleus, Prime Chimeric Nexus
The Chimeric enemy line (Winged Elephants, Horned Bears, Burrowbeasts, and related variants) drops all three tiers of this material across current Snezhnaya areas. Track them through the Adventurer’s Handbook under enemy materials. The lower tier (Chimeric Core) drops from common enemies; the higher tiers (Symbiotic Chimeric Nucleus and Prime Chimeric Nexus) come from stronger or elite-level variants. Craft up using the Alchemy Table: 3 Chimeric Cores → 1 Symbiotic Chimeric Nucleus, and so on. These reset with the daily server reset, so a focused two-day sweep covers the bulk of the required totals.
Vajrada Amethyst — Electro Ascension Gems
Vajrada Amethyst drops from any Electro field boss in the game, including Electro Hypostasis and Thunder Manifestation. You can also craft upward at the Alchemy Table using Dust of Azoth to convert other Amethyst types if you have excess from other elements. These are fully pre-farmable before Version 7.2 launches, so there is no reason to wait.
Charity Talent Books — Domain of Mastery
The Teachings, Guide, and Philosophies of Charity drop from the Domain of Mastery in Snezhnaya, southwest of Svetlovedovka station. This domain is open on Monday, Thursday, and Sunday. Use Condensed Resin on domain days to double your drops. Craft up at the Alchemy Table: 3 Teachings → 1 Guide, 3 Guides → 1 Philosophies. Fully pre-farmable before Version 7.2.
Mask of the Virtuous Doctor — Weekly Boss Material
The Mask of the Virtuous Doctor drops from The Doctor (Heretic of the False Moon), the trounce boss in Nod-Krai. You can challenge this boss once per week for discounted resin drops. With 18 total needed across all three talents, that is a minimum of 18 weekly clears — start early and do not skip. If you get duplicates of the wrong mask variant, use Dream Solvent (also dropped by weekly bosses) to convert between the three drop types from the same boss.
Hero’s Wit and Mora — Character EXP and Currency
Claim Ley Line Outcrops daily for both. The golden Ley Lines give Mora, and the purple ones give character EXP books. In Version 7.2, do these in the new Snezhnaya areas when possible to overlap exploration progress with resource farming. At roughly 419 Hero’s Wit needed, you are looking at around 70 Condensed Resin worth of Ley Line clears over time — start early and stack them.
Mitya Talent Priority
Not all three Talents are equal — where you spend Crowns and books first depends on how you play him.
- On-field DPS Mitya: Prioritize Normal Attack first. His enhanced Charged Attack (Prism Detonation) scales with the Normal Attack Talent, so this is the most direct damage upgrade when he is spending Gradient Beacons on the field.
- Off-field Support Mitya: Prioritize Elemental Skill first. The Steady State Detection Core’s damage and Prism generation timing both improve with Skill levels when his job is off-field support.
- Both roles: Elemental Burst is the second priority for most builds — it provides a big AoE Electro hit and immediately generates three Gradient Beacons. Level 8 is a solid stopping point before Crowning if you are on a budget.
You need three Crowns to max all three Talents to Level 10. If you only want to Crown one, pick based on role: Normal Attack for on-field DPS, Elemental Skill for dedicated support.
Pre-Farm Checklist
Here is exactly what you can start farming right now before Version 7.2 content is available:
- ✅ Vajrada Amethyst (all tiers) — farm from Electro field bosses
- ✅ Chimeric Core, Symbiotic Chimeric Nucleus, Prime Chimeric Nexus — farm from Chimeric enemies in Snezhnaya
- ✅ Teachings, Guide, and Philosophies of Charity — domain on Monday/Thursday/Sunday
- ✅ Mask of the Virtuous Doctor — weekly boss clears
- ✅ Mora — daily Ley Lines
- ✅ Hero’s Wit — daily Ley Lines
- ❌ Crystalfold — requires Version 7.2 Snezhnaya map
- ❌ Shattered Stabilizing Anchor — requires Version 7.2 Wavebinder boss
Get everything on the green list done before launch day so the only thing stopping you from hitting Level 90 is the new region content. For a comparison with other Snezhnaya characters who share some of these materials, see the Alyosha ascension materials guide, Odette ascension materials, and the Cryo Traveler ascension guide for overlap planning.
