Where to find Starconches in Genshin Impact

Starconch locations can be found on the beaches of Liyue and Dragonspine in Genshin Impact. This means even low-level AR Travelers can farm this item without having to play through huge amounts of the game’s story. 

While Starconch can be found across both Liyue and Dragonspine, one of the best places to locate them is directly west of Dragonspine. Simply fast travel to the Teleport Waypoint west of the region and walk down onto the nearby beach. 

Once there, simply scour each beach and island for any Starconch that appears on the ground. They’re incredibly easy to spot as their bright blue shells really stand out amongst the sand, so once you find them, simply use the interact button to add them to your inventory.

All Starconch map locations

There are a total of 77 Starconch that can be found across Liyue and Dragonspine, so make sure you check every location via the maps below:

Unlike other overworld materials in Genshin Impact, the Starconch is only used as an Ascension Material. In fact, those looking to ascend both Childe, Gaming, and Yelan will need to collect 168 of them for each character. 

With only 77 of them on the map at one time, you’ll need to farm these shells over a period of days before you can fully ascend any of them.
