Genshin Impact 5.7： Complete Silcock Ascension Guide and Preparation Tips to Get Ahead Early!

Genshin Impact 5.7 Version New Character Guide: Comprehensive Development Guide for Silcock to Become a Winner in the Next Queue!
Fellow Genshin Impact enthusiasts, are you excited yet terrified when hearing about the arrival of a new character? Because, as we all know, the pain of preparing materials beforehand is something only veteran players can understand. Don’t worry, today we’re going to talk about the comprehensive development guide for Silcock, the new 5-star sword-wielding character in version 5.7. To help you bring this beautiful character home as soon as the new version is released, we’ve organized all the required materials clearly, saving you the trouble of scrambling for information on Baidu, Weibo, or Tieba.
First, let’s get an overall understanding. What materials do we need to cultivate Silcock from level 0 to max level? Don’t panic, take it step by step. Upgrading, ascending, talents, and weapon refinement—all these aspects require sufficient preparation. Let’s start with the overall requirements.
First, the basic level upgrade. To raise Silcock from level 1 to 90, in addition to a large amount of Mora, you’ll need the following materials: 1 piece of Lamentative Frostjewel Shard, 9 pieces of Lamentative Frostjewel Fragment, 9 pieces of Lamentative Frostjewel Chunk, and 6 pieces of Lamentative Frostjewel. Don’t underestimate these icejewel materials—they may seem few, but gathering them is no easy task. Then there are the gears: 36 Fine Enhancement Ores, 96 Common Ores, and 129 Spiritual Enhancement Ores. Finally, you’ll need 46 Deepening Affection and 168 Rockrose Herbs. Don’t be intimidated by these tongue-twisting names—collecting them is quite a challenge.
If you’re serious about developing this character, don’t forget the talent part. Upgrading Normal Attacks, Elemental Skills, and Elemental Bursts to level 10 is a massive undertaking. The talent materials primarily consist of the “Competitio” series of books: 9 copies of “Competitio’s Instruction,” 63 copies of “Competitio’s Guide,” and 114 copies of “Competitio’s Philosophy.” Additionally, you’ll need 18 Fine Enhancement Ores, 66 Common Ores, 93 Spiritual Enhancement Ores, as well as 18 Glorious Scrolls and 3 Crowns of Insight. These high-sounding books may seem impressive, but gathering them requires a bit of luck.
Now, let’s talk about weapon refinement materials. Silcock’s signature weapon is called “Aurora,” and to upgrade it from level 0 to 90, you’ll need: 5 pieces of Philosophical Thought from “God-Connected Incense,” 14 Premonitions, 14 Omens, and 6 Revelations. Then there are various plants and whistles: 23 Prismatic Shards, 27 Prismatic Planes, 41 Prismatic Lenses, 15 Soldier’s Whistles, 23 Warrior’s Whistles, and 27 Knight’s Whistles. These materials seem like they were procured from both a botanical garden and a musical instrument store.
Now, let’s discuss how to obtain these materials. First, Deepening Affection can only be dropped by defeating Level 30 or higher “Deepfake Fungus.” It’s recommended to team up with friends to farm, as solo farming might take forever. Next, Rockrose Herbs are a specialty of the Natha region—remember to collect them daily at designated locations to accumulate gradually.
As for the “Competitio” series of books, these can only be obtained from the “Primordial Ruins” dungeon. It’s advisable to practice your reflexes beforehand, as the drop rate in dungeons isn’t generous. As for Glorious Scrolls, they’re even more fun to collect—only available as rewards from Challenger’s Rift or drops from weekly bosses at level 70 and above. If you’re lucky, you might just get what you need without too much trouble.
