Finding meat in Genshin Impact is a crucial part of cooking up those stat-boosting dishes that can make or break your adventures in Teyvat. Let me guide you through the best spots to stock up on this essential ingredient.
Best Locations for Hunting Meat
Springvale is hands-down your best bet for meat farming. This area just south of Mondstadt is teeming with boars and birds, making it a hunter’s paradise. I’ve spent countless hours here myself, and the respawn rates are incredibly generous. Just remember to approach the animals quietly – they’ll run away if they spot you!
Dragonspine’s Hidden Bounty
While many players avoid Dragonspine due to its harsh climate, it’s actually a fantastic spot for meat gathering. The frozen boars here drop chilled meat, which counts as regular meat in your inventory. Plus, there’s less competition from other players in this area.
Quick Farming Routes
Here’s my tried-and-true farming route:
– Start at Springvale
– Head northwest towards Dawn Winery
– Circle around Stormbearer Mountains
– End at Brightcrown Mountains
This route typically nets me about 30-40 pieces of raw meat in just 15 minutes.
Alternative Sources
Don’t forget about these reliable alternatives:
– Expeditions (send characters on meat-gathering missions)
– Purchase from Draff in Springvale (limited stock)
– Buy from restaurant vendors in major cities
Pro Tips for Efficient Hunting
After countless hunting trips, I’ve learned that bow characters like Amber or Ganyu are perfect for hunting. Their charged shots can take down animals from a distance before they scatter. For close-range hunters, characters with claymores work great too – just sprint up to the animals and start swinging!
Processing Your Meat
Once you’ve gathered raw meat, consider processing it at a cooking fire to create Fowl or Raw Meat. This saves inventory space and gives you more flexibility in recipe creation. I always make sure to process my meat before starting any major cooking sessions.
Remember, animals respawn every 12 hours in real-time, so you can revisit your favorite hunting spots twice daily. I recommend marking your best spots on the map – it’s a small detail that makes a huge difference in farming efficiency.
The key to successful meat farming is patience and establishing a routine. Start with Springvale, work your way through your preferred route, and before you know it, you’ll have more meat than you can cook with!
