Strategies for Farming Kinich's Materials
While some materials can be pre-farmed before Kinich’s official release, others will only become available afterward. Here’s a guide to help you collect the materials you need:
Farming Saurian Claw Succulent
The Saurian Claw Succulent can be found in the northern region of Natlan, specifically south of the Children of Echoes and near the Sulfurous Veins. There are 77 Saurian Claw Succulents available at a time, but you'll need to wait for them to respawn to collect them all. Don’t forget to check your friends’ worlds to gather even more quickly!
Obtaining Overripe Flamegranate
This material drops from the Level 30+ Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King boss, located in the Tequemecan Valley in Natlan. To reach this boss, use the underground path from the Teleport Point south of the Sulfurous Veins. Defeating this boss will yield the Overripe Flamegranate necessary for Kinich.
Nagadus Emerald Farming
Nagadus Emeralds can be acquired by defeating Dendro Field Bosses like the Jadeplume Terrorshroom and through daily commissions. Additionally, players can craft higher rarity Nagadus Emeralds from lower tier ones. Target these bosses to ensure you collect enough materials for Kinich’s ascension.
Farming Talent Books
The Teachings of Kindling talent books essential for leveling Kinich's abilities can be found in the Blazing Ruins Mastery Domain, located south of Tepeacac Rise. Make sure to farm these books on specific days: Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday.
With this comprehensive guide, you are now equipped to pre-farm for Kinich. Preparing in advance will ensure you maximize his potential upon release. Share your thoughts on Kinich and let us know which teams you plan to utilize him in during the 5.0 banners!
