Gemstones - Where to Find Vajrada Amethyst
Like all elemental gems, Vajrada Amethyst can be obtained from bosses, daily commission bonuses, the Parametric Transformer, and so on. The most efficient way to farm it is by defeating bosses who can drop it in their rewards. Those bosses include the following:
*Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap can only drop Vajrada Amethyst when infused with Electro!

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Samachurl Scrolls
There is no shortage of Samachurls dotted around Teyvat. This is great for anyone hoping to ascend Cyno, as he needs their drops to ascend. At higher levels, Samachurls are capable of dropping higher-quality materials, as shown here:
Of course, higher-level Samachurl Scrolls can be crafted from lower-quality ones.

Boss Drop - How to Get Thunderclap Fruitcore
A third Regisvine was finally added after Mondstadt’s and Liyue’s Cryo and Pyro Regisvines. Sumeru’s Mawtiyima Forest is home to the Electro Regisvine, which drops Thunderclap Fruitcore when defeated. This item is used in Cyno’s ascension!

Local Specialty - Where to Find Scarabs
Unfortunately, anyone who planned to prefarm Cyno ascension materials could not get their hands on absolutely everything, because Scarabs were not released until Cyno himself was in theGenshin Impact3.1 update. These Scarabs are one of Sumeru’s local specialties, and can only be found in the region’s desert, not its rainforests.
Cyno will need a total of 168 Scarabs to completely ascend, so players will need to head to the sandy desert to find them.

Cyno Talent Materials
Cyno’s talents require some more Samachurl Scrolls, as well as books from one of Sumeru’s talent series and some other items, as well as a small fortune in Mora.
