Genshin Impact players might have been wondering what to do with Starconches which are found on beaches, but hopefully, they’ve been collecting them. Some items might not have a use in the game, but they’re always there for a reason. And now, Starconches have been given a purpose—which is to ascend one of the new characters in the game called Yelan. If you have Childe as a playable character, you will need Starconches to upgrade him as well. This guide will take you through the process of how to get the most Starconches in the game in the shortest period of time through a Starconch farming route that will have you upgrading your characters in no time at all.
Where to Find the Best Starconch Farming Route in Genshin Impact
The calculations say that you’ll need 168 Starconches to fully ascend Yelan, so players are trying to find Starconches as quickly as they can. They aren’t particularly difficult to obtain if you know where to look as they’re scattered in several specific zones.

This route will take you fifteen minutes to cover as long as you do not take any detours. There are about 75 Starconches on this route, and you can attempt this every 48 hours. You can also join a friend’s world in co-op mode in order to take their resources. As you’ll be covering a long distance, you should sprint after eating some stamina-boosting food such as Spicy Stew or True Barbatos Ratatouille.
The route starts at the south-eastern Teleport Point near Starglow Cavern in Dragonspine where you need to stick to the coast and collect all the Starconches along the way. At Yaoguang Shoal, sprint towards the northern coast, and keep going until you reach the western bridge of Mingyun Village.
Now, you will need to fast travel to Yaoguang Shoal and continue in the southwestern direction until you reach southern Guili Plains where you can sprint south following the coast. Once the trail ends, fast travel to Guyun Stone Forest.
Make your way northwest until you reach the northern tip of the island in the west and fast travel back to the previous Teleport point. Travel east and then south to finish the route. You should have collected approximately 75 Starconches if you got them all. Repeat this twice or thrice, every 48 hours, until you have all the Starconches you need.
