Genshin Impact offers its players a vast map, full of treasures, characters, and narratives, to freely explore. That said, adventurers hoping to upgrade their weapons mid-journey may find their swords and clubs hitting a level-cap that can only be removed by collecting weapon Ascension Materials.
Weapon Ascension Materials allow a player to “ascend” max level weapons (and characters) in Genshin Impact; this feat extends the item or character’s upper level limit, and allows the item or character to continue leveling up. Needless to say, the process of ascension isn’t a simple one either.
Technically speaking, ascension is simple in that players need only enter the weapon or character’s enhancement menu, and select the Ascension option. Doing so allows the best Genshin Impact weapons to become even better. The difficult part is locating and gathering the weapon’s (or character’s) necessary Ascension Materials. Whereas character Ascension Materials are generally found after defeating particular enemies, weapon Ascension Materials can only be found in Domains of Forgery.
Domains of Forgery are a kind of Abyssal Domain in Genshin Impact, which basically means they’re a sort of dungeon (or shrine, for the Zelda aficionados.) There are currently only two Domains of Forgery on the map, Cecilia Garden and the Hidden Palace of Lianshan Formula – they are both accessible once a player reaches Adventure Rank 16.
Cecilia Garden can be found West of Mondstadt, the first in-game city. It is in Wolvendom, which is just across the moat from Mondstadt, and is located conveniently near a waypoint. The Hidden Palace of Lianshan Formula is found just off of Mingyun Village in the eastern nation, Liyue. These two Domains of Forgery are the only way to consistently acquire weapon Ascension Materials, and they operate on a daily rotation.
That is, depending on the day of the week, Cecilia Garden and the Hidden Palace will allow players to enter a varying Domain of Forgery (each featuring unique rewards.) Once inside the domains, the goal is generally the same: players will have to defeat a set of enemies while surviving some sort of additional challenge, depending on the level of the domain.
Players unlock additional levels of each domain by reaching new Adventure Ranks (AR 16, 21, 30, and 40, for Levels I, II, III, and IV, respectively.) The level and number of enemies in each domain will rise along with the domain’s level, as will the intricacy of the “ley line disorder.” Ley Line Disorders are basically Genshin Impact‘s version of a stage penalty, and they often deal passive damage to players, or apply status effects at inopportune moments.
So: a player who takes on a Level I Domain of Forgery would be facing fewer (and weaker) enemies and obstacles than someone who challenges a Level III Domain of Forgery. Furthermore, if a player enters Cecilia Garden on Monday, for example, they’ll face a different Domain of Forgery, and set of rewards, than someone entering the garden on Tuesday. Players should be 100% sure they find the perfectly rare Genshin Impact weapon to upgrade, because they’ll need to complete the correct Domain of Forgery, on the correct day of the week, several times, to successfully gather just one set weapon Ascension Materials.
Genshin Impact is available now on the App Store, Google Play, and PS4.
