After years of anticipation, Varka, the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, finally became playable in Version 6.4 (Luna V) of Genshin Impact. As a long-awaited Mondstadt powerhouse, many Travelers are rushing to raise him to Level 90 and crown his talents immediately.

If you’re preparing to fully build Varka, this guide covers all Ascension materials, talent materials, total Mora costs, EXP requirements, and farming priorities — so you can upgrade him efficiently without wasting Resin.

Varka Leveling Overview

To raise Varka from Level 1 to 90, you will need:

• 8,362,650 Character EXP

• 1,673,400 Mora

That’s before accounting for Ascension and talent upgrades. Fully maxing Varka (triple-crowned) requires a substantial Resin investment.

If you’re short on time, Genshin Impact Boosting can help speed up material farming, weekly boss clears, and Mora grinding.

Varka Ascension Materials

To Ascend Varka to Level 90, you will need the following materials:

Gemstones (Anemo Element)

• 1x Vayuda Turquoise Sliver

• 9x Vayuda Turquoise Fragment

• 9x Vayuda Turquoise Chunk

• 6x Vayuda Turquoise Gemstone

These can be obtained from Anemo bosses and converted using Dust of Azoth.

Boss Drop

• 46x Prismatic Severed Tail

Dropped from Varka’s associated Normal Boss introduced in Version 6.4.

Local Specialty

• 168x Wolfhook

Wolfhooks are found in Mondstadt, primarily in Wolvendom. Expect multiple farming routes over several days unless using a co-op reset method.

Enemy Drops

• 18x Broken Drive Shaft

• 30x Reinforced Drive Shaft

• 36x Precision Drive Shaft

Dropped by mechanical enemies introduced in recent Fontaine expansions.

Mora Cost (Ascension Only)

• 420,000 Mora

Full Ascension Breakdown by Phase

Here’s how materials scale per Ascension:

Level 20

• 1x Vayuda Turquoise Sliver

• 3x Broken Drive Shaft

• 3x Wolfhook

• 20,000 Mora

Level 40

Varka Talent Materials

Varka uses the Freedom talent book series from Mondstadt.

Talent Book Requirements (Per Talent)

• 3x Teachings of Freedom

• 21x Guide to Freedom

• 38x Philosophies of Freedom

Enemy Materials (Per Talent)

• 6x Broken Drive Shaft

Weekly Boss Drop

• 6x Ascended Sample: Rook

This drop comes from the Version 6.4 Weekly Boss domain.

Crown Requirement

• 1x Crown of Insight (for Level 10)

Mora Cost (Per Talent)

• 1,652,500 Mora

Total Materials for Triple Crown (All 3 Talents)

To fully crown Varka:

• 9x Teachings of Freedom

• 63x Guide to Freedom

• 114x Philosophies of Freedom

• 18x Broken Drive Shaft

• 66x Reinforced Drive Shaft

• 93x Precision Drive Shaft

• 18x Ascended Sample: Rook

• 3x Crown of Insight

• 4,957,500 Mora

That’s nearly 5 million Mora for talents alone.

If Mora farming becomes overwhelming, Genshin Impact Quests Boost can help complete high-yield world and story content for faster currency gains.

Farming Strategy for Varka

1. Prioritize Weekly Boss Early

You’re time-gated by Ascended Sample: Rook. Clear the boss weekly to avoid delays.

2. Farm Wolfhook in Bulk

Use interactive maps to plan efficient Wolvendom routes.

3. Convert Excess Gemstones

Use Dust of Azoth to convert unused elemental gems into Vayuda Turquoise.

4. Focus Talent Books on Correct Days

Freedom books rotate in Mondstadt domains — plan Resin usage accordingly.

Recommended Upgrade Order

For most players:

1. Level Varka to 80/90

2. Upgrade Skill to 8–9

3. Upgrade Burst to 8–9

4. Crown priority talent

5. Finish triple crown

If you want to maximize performance quickly, consider optimizing your artifact and stat distribution through Buy Genshin Impact Builds, which ensures correct substat targeting and weapon synergy.

Total Resource Summary

To fully max Varka (Level 90 + Triple Crown):

• 8.3M EXP

• 1.67M Mora (leveling)

• 420k Mora (ascension)

• 4.95M Mora (talents)

• 168 Wolfhook

• 46 Boss Drops

• 18 Weekly Boss Drops

• 3 Crowns

Grand total Mora required: ~7 million+

Plan accordingly.

Final Thoughts

Varka’s material requirements are substantial but manageable with smart Resin planning. As a Mondstadt-based Anemo unit, his farming routes are accessible, but weekly boss drops remain your primary bottleneck.

Prepare early, farm efficiently, and prioritize talent materials during the correct domain rotation.

Whether you grind everything yourself or accelerate progression with Genshin Impact Boosting, building Varka properly ensures he reaches his full battlefield potential.
