Genshin Impact Version 3.0 introduced a plethora of new mobs and monsters. The easiest of these are the fungi who have the same cuteness as slimes and are just as easy to kill- regardless of their comparatively high health. There are various fungal mutations that attack you in Sumeru and depending on what elemental reactions you use- they drop different materials.
In this article, we’re going to show you how to increase the drop rate of Fungal Spores, Luminescent Pollen and Crystalline Cyst Dust from these mobs. These are the materials used for the ascension of Dendro Traveler and Tighnari so we understand you’ll need a bunch of these.
Increasing Drop Rate of Fungal Spores, Luminescent Pollen and Crystalline Cyst Dust from Fungi Mobs in Genshin Impact 3.0
Fungi mobs, whether they wield the power of Dendro or not, are still Dendro creatures so elements that react with Dendro will also mostly react with these mobs- especially electro and pyro. Using any of these two elements against them will drastically lower the drop rate of Fungal Spores and its higher refined counterparts.
Any electro or pyro reaction will yield you random drops from these creatures with a generally lower drop rate for Fungal Spores. To increase the drop rate of Fungal Spores all you have to do is not use Pyro or Electro against these mobs.
The safest way would be to not have any electro or pyro party member. Dendro, Hydro, Geo, Anemo and Cryo are safe elements to use against them. Since electro ‘activates’ these creatures and pyro causes burning, the reactions make them drop both activated and inactvated drops- though mostly inactivated ones.
As for their higher rarity counterparts like Luminescent Pollen and Crystalline Cyst Dust, you can get these by refining the Fungal Spores in the Alchemy Table. The higher the level of the fungi- the higher chance they have to drop these higher rarity drops. If you’re already AR45 and above chances are you’ll get these naturally as you kill more of these mobs.
