Genshin Impact: Traveler Talent Materials For All Elements

by Thomas Jan 24,2025

This guide details the talent materials required for each elemental form of the Genshin Impact Traveler. Unlike other characters, the Traveler's talent material needs vary drastically depending on their current elemental resonance.

Back to All Characters

The Traveler's talent upgrade system is unique. Unlike most characters using consistent materials, Aether and Lumine require different sets for each element, and even the books change across talent levels. This breakdown clarifies the required materials for each element. This will be updated for future elements. Ascension material lists are separate due to the Traveler's multi-elemental nature.
