Kaveh is one of the most anticipated characters inGenshin Impact.His name was leaked a while before his release, and he’s been mentioned by many other playable units, most notably his roommate, Alhaitham.

Players looking to use Kaveh on their teams will definitely want to upgrade his talents and ascend him to maximize his combat use. To do so, they’ll need the materials listed in this guide.

Gemstones - Where to Find Nagadus Emerald
As a Dendro character, Kaveh needs some Nagadus Emerald of varying sizes to ascend. This Dendro elemental gem can be found in many of the same ways as its fellow gems, like daily commission bonuses and from the Parametric Transformer. However, most of it will come from defeating bosses.

Enemy Drop - Where to Find Fungus Drops
While a handful of Fungi can be found in the Chasm, the vast majority can be found in Sumeru, where they are fairly common almost everywhere. Higher-quality drops can only come from higher-level enemies, as outlined here:

Local Specialty - Mourning Flower Locations

Other locations include underground near the Samudra Coast and around Tunigi Hollow (also underground).
