Moonfall Silver is a new local specialty in Genshin Impact’s Nod-Krai region, introduced with the Luna I update. These pearl-like items are essential for character ascension, especially for Lauma, one of the standout Dendro characters. Since this material is only found on Hiisi Island, knowing the best farming routes is key to avoiding unnecessary backtracking.

- Respawn Timer: Remember the 48-hour reset when planning farming sessions.
- Co-op Mode: If your world is empty, join a friend’s world to farm theirs.
- Quest Unlocks: Some underground areas only become available after completing Archon Quests.
Moonfall Silver farming may feel tedious, but with a proper route you can clear 70+ in one run, ensuring smooth progression for Lauma and other Nod-Krai characters. Focus on the Light-Bathed Platform cluster for quick farming, and revisit Hiisi Island every two days to keep your stash growing.
