Moonfall Silver in Genshin Impact: All Locations & Farming Guide

Moonfall Silver in Genshin Impact: Complete Location & Farming Guide

Patch 6.0 introduced Hiisi Island and with it, Moonfall Silver—a new local specialty now vital for ascending several of the region’s headline characters. With the 'Where the Moon Rises' Archon Quest unlocking the full island, maximizing your Moonfall Silver farm is crucial, especially for players aiming to build Lauma, Flins, or Aino from day one. Given the strict 48-hour respawn timer, planning routes and optimizing your farming cadences is essential—not just for meta chasers, but for resource-conscious F2P and low-spend players.

At a Glance: Moonfall Silver, Patch 6.0

First available: Patch 6.0 (Global, all servers)
Region: Hiisi Island only
Material type: Local Specialty (Ascension)
Primary use: Ascending Lauma, Flins, Aino (and future Nod-Krai characters; official roster in patch notes)

Moonfall Silver Location Overview

Moonfall Silver appears as luminous, pearl-like objects placed primarily near statues and rocks across Hiisi Island. The full spawn list is only accessible once you’ve unlocked the 'Where the Moon Rises' Archon Quest—completion provides access to all cave entrances and hidden sub-areas. Players report missing spawns if they skip certain quest steps, so ensure the main questline is complete before optimizing your run.

Farming Route & Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Estimated time per full cycle: 20–30 minutes (with all waypoints unlocked).

1. Preparation Checklist

Complete the “Where the Moon Rises” Archon Quest (quest lock for Silvermoon Hall/caves)
Unlock the following Teleport Waypoints: Light-Bathed Platform, Frostmoon Enclave, West Mountain, Silvermoon Hall entrance
Recommended: Bring one Anemo character for movement (Sayu/Lynette for F2P) and a character with collection passives (e.g., Yanfei’s regional boost)

2. Core Farming Route Breakdown

A. Light-Bathed Platform to Frostmoon Enclave (#1–47)

Start at Light-Bathed Platform Teleport Waypoint: Collect all visible Moonfall Silver around the platform and monument (expect 5–6 nodes).
Head southeast toward Frostmoon Enclave. Every small statue or rock pile may house Moonfall Silver—systematically loop eastward, gathering up to another ~20 materials.
Teleport south of Light-Bathed Platform, move west for a new batch.
Return to the previous waypoint, now head east. Pick up two Moonfall Silvers by the cave entrance; jump down for additional nodes in the cave (hidden nodes inside, unlocked post-quest). Conclude at the Tsar World Quest area.

B. Mountain West of the Platform (#48–57)

Teleport to the western mountain waypoint.
Circle the mountaintop: 10 distinct Moonfall Silver nodes scatter near the summit and ledges.

C. Silvermoon Hall (Underground) Area (#58–71)

Required: “Where the Moon Rises” quest completion. Silvermoon Hall cave opens mid-quest.
Enter Silvermoon Hall: Follow the cave path, checking alcoves and dead ends for clusters—expect approximately 14 more Moonfall Silver here.

Moonfall Silver Respawn Table

| Reset Type | Cadence | Time Zone / Server | Notes |
|—————|———|————————|————————————————–|
| Local Specialty | 48h | Per region (refreshes with server) | Fixed per-node respawn. Nodes persist if not collected. |

Important: Respawn does not sync globally; each node refreshes 48 hours after collection on your account, not at daily server reset.

Optimal Loadouts and Route Management

F2P mobility: Use Sayu, Lynette, or Faruzan for speed boosts.
Map utility: Pin nodes after first run, remove as collected for future efficiency.
Multiplayer: Co-op helps—friends can invite you to their world for a second daily run (limits apply, check co-op consent settings).

Common Pitfalls and Troubleshooting

Missing nodes: Most often due to incomplete quest progress—finish all steps in “Where the Moon Rises.”
Unopened areas: Caves (notably Silvermoon Hall) are locked behind main quest advancement.
Overlooked spawns: Several nodes appear behind rocks, inside shallow water, or slightly off-path. Use mini-map collection markers to catch these.

FAQ: Moonfall Silver (Genshin Impact 6.0)

Q: Can I purchase Moonfall Silver from in-game vendors?
A: Not stated in official materials as of Patch 6.0.
Q: Will Moonfall Silver be used in future character ascensions?
A: Only confirmed for Lauma, Flins, and Aino; additional uses unconfirmed—watch for official EarlyGG updates.
Q: Does co-op collecting count toward local limits?
A: Yes—one account per world can pick each node per reset.
Q: Is Moonfall Silver affected by any gathering bonuses or gadgets?
A: Not stated in official materials, though certain expedition passives for local specialties may apply to Hiisi region in future patches.

After You’ve Cleared: Next Steps

After collecting all available Moonfall Silver in your world, set daily reminders for respawn times—inefficient farming is a major bottleneck for newly added region characters. Consider using the EarlyGG materials tracker (link to internal EarlyGG resource page) to monitor your totals, and prioritize farming ahead of limited banner reruns for Lauma, Flins, and Aino. For players eyeing meta flexibility, stockpiling Moonfall Silver between patch cycles is the most effective way to prevent last-minute ascension delays.

Key Takeaways & Looking Ahead

Moonfall Silver is now essential for character growth in Hiisi Island’s ecosystem. As region-based ascension materials tend to be time-gated, early investment pays off—especially as the Nod-Krai roster expands in upcoming patches. Players should monitor patch notes and EarlyGG guides for any changes to spawn counts or new uses for Moonfall Silver.
