Electro Crystals are some of the least used materials in the game, so it's easy to run past them in your travels. But you never know when you might need them to craft an Electro potion or two. In particular, you can forge or craft the following items with Electro Crystals:
- NRE (Menu 30)—portable food bag Gadget
- Insulation Potion—increases all party members' Electro Resistance by 25 percent for 300 seconds
- Shocking Essential Oil—increases all party members' Electro Damage by 25 percent for 300 seconds
Electro Crystal Monstadt Locations
There are plenty of Electro Crystals scattered around Monstadt within a reasonable proximity. It's the easiest region to farm the Crystals due to its friendly terrain and good weather, making it easy to spot the glowing Electro from far away.
Electro Crystal Liyue Locations
There aren't a lot of Electro Crystals in Liyue, but it still makes for a comfortable farming area if you happen to be in the region.
In Liyue Harbor, near the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, you can find a merchant named Changshun. She sells x5 Electro Crystal for x1,500 Mora each and restocks every three days.
Inazuma Electro Crystal Locations
There's a good number of Electro Crystals in Inazuma, but the staggered terrain and the region's mechanics (some Crystals are trapped inside barriers) can make it a more challenging place to farm.
Alternatively, you can visit Qiuyue, the Chuyu Trading Company Branch Manager, in Ritou. She sells x5 Electro Crystal for x1,000 Mora each, and the stock refreshes every three days.
How to Break/Mine Electro Crystal
Unlike other ores, Electro Crystals can't be mined using Geo or heavy Physical Attacks. Instead, use a Pyro Elemental Skill to cause the Overload Reaction, essentially breaking the Crystals for you to loot.
If you need more Electro Crystals in a jiffy and have run out of them in your World, you can visit a friend's and loot theirs. But don't forget to ask permission first!
