Yelan is one of the latest characters that require Starconches.

Unlike other overworld materials in Genshin Impact, the Starconch is only used as an Ascension Material. In fact, those looking to Ascend both Childe 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 either 5-star.
