Sword Billets in Genshin Impact are crucial crafting materials that can help you forge powerful 4-star weapons, but getting your hands on them requires some specific strategies. Let me walk you through the most reliable ways to obtain these coveted items.
Weekly Boss Battles: Your Primary Source
The most consistent way to get Sword Billets is by defeating weekly bosses. These include:
– Dvalin (Stormterror)
– Andrius (Wolf of the North)
– Childe (Tartaglia)
– Azhdaha
– La Signora
– Raiden Shogun
– Scaramouche
Each boss has a chance to drop any type of billet, including Sword Billets, though the drop rates are admittedly quite low (roughly 2-3%). I recommend fighting all available weekly bosses to maximize your chances.
Sacred Sakura’s Favor
If you’re exploring Inazuma, you can obtain a guaranteed Sword Billet by reaching level 24 in the Sacred Sakura’s Favor system. This involves collecting Electro Sigils and offering them to the Sacred Sakura Tree in Inazuma.
Tips for Maximizing Your Chances
Here’s what I’ve learned from personal experience:
– Always use all your weekly boss attempts
– Convert your Original Resin to Condensed Resin to save time
– Don’t forget to collect your Battle Pass rewards, as they occasionally include billets
– Check special events, as they sometimes offer billets as rewards
Dream Solvent Alternative
If you’re getting other types of billets but need a Sword Billet specifically, you can use Dream Solvent to convert between billet types. This item drops from weekly bosses as well, so keep an eye out for it.
Planning Your Resin Usage
Since weekly bosses cost 30-60 Resin each, I recommend planning your Resin usage carefully. The first three weekly boss fights each week cost only 30 Resin, making them more efficient to farm.
Remember, patience is key when farming for Sword Billets. While the drop rates might seem discouraging, maintaining a consistent weekly boss routine will eventually pay off. Think of it as a marathon rather than a sprint – you’re building up your chances over time while also collecting other valuable materials along the way.
