Weapon Ascension in Genshin Impact is tied to Adventure Rank, and materials come from both enemy drops and scythe realms.
Weapon Ascension in Genshin Impact works the same as Character Ascension - you will need to reach a certain Adventure Rank to even unlock the option, and from there, farm materials discovered around the world. . Like Character Ascension, the best way to farm materials requires 20 Original Resin per estate (if you plan to acquire the rewards at the end), so you'll need to prioritize what you grind for each day of the week (because , like talent materials, weapon ascension materials are in areas and drops spin daily).
The adventure rank and the level limits are exactly the same for the weapons because they are characters, therefore:
- Adventure Rank 15 - Weapon climb to level 1.
- The level cap is increased to 40.
- Adventure Rank 25 - Weapon climb to level 2.
- The maximum level is increased to 50.
- Adventure Rank 30 - Weapon climb to level 3.
- The maximum level is increased to 60.
- Adventure Rank 35 - Weapon climb to level 4.
- The maximum level is increased to 70.
- Adventure Rank 40 - Weapon climb to level 5.
- The level cap is increased to 80.
- Adventure Rank 45 - Weapon climb to level 6.
- The level cap is increased to 90.
Similar to Character Ascension, once you reach the prerequisite Adventure Rank, you can level up your weapon with the new limit and then unlock the Ascension ability. Click Ascend to display the required materials, along with the locations for each. The fake estates in Liyue and Mondstadt are your go-to destinations, although you'll want to know what day the material you need drops off. Sundays are free for everyone, but that means you're trading control for random throws. Additionally, area-specific items can be upgraded to higher levels through Alchemy, although you cannot craft higher-level items until you achieve the same Adventure Rank as the level of Ascension to which they are associated.
