Naku Weed is a Character Ascension item that you will need if you wish to upgrade Yoimiya or Kuki Shinobu, and you’ll need a lot. 168 to be exact, as is the usual for any other Local Specialty item. This guide will take you through the process of how to collect a lot of Naku Weed in a short period of time in Genshin Impact.
What is the Best Naku Weed Farming Route in Genshin Impact
It might be a difficult item to farm as it only spawns in specific locations such as Balethunder or areas with potent Electro energy, such as Amakumo Peak. You will also need to travel a lot to get to them. It’s a good idea to prepare well for the run and have Gorou on your team for the boost. With his passive Seeker of Shinies you can easily pinpoint Naku Weed, along with other Inazuma-only items, on your mini-map.

Make sure to eat some stamina-boosting food before starting as well, such as Spicy Stew or A Buoyant Breeze. You should also complete some quests preemptively before starting this run as more areas with lots of Naku Weed will be unlocked to you. These quests are Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual, Tatara Tales up to the part where you shatter the shield, part 3 of Orobashi’s Legacy and the entirety of Seirei Stormchasers.
This run will take you about 25 minutes if you do not get sidetracked by enemies, so be prepared for a long one. You can repeat this run every 48 hours for around 100 Naku Weed, as long as you have all the areas unlocked by the quest mentioned above. This route involves a lot of fast travelling, so make sure to have your map on the ready.
