What is Crystal Marrow used for in Genshin Impact?

Crystal Marrow is a specific type of ore that can only be found in some regions of Inazuma. This crystal is essential for the ascension of a few characters in the game. On the other hand, there are no items that you will need Crystal Marrow to craft.

While players usually need to break rocks and crystals to farm some types of ore, Crystal Marrow can be collected directly. It also has a respawn time of two days.

These are the characters that need Crystal Marrow to ascend:

  • Aloy
  • Sayu

Since this material is going to be used in every stage of the characters’ ascension, it is important to farm them consistently.

Where to find Crystal Marrow in Genshin Impact

Since you can’t find vendors selling Crystal Marrow, your only option is to harvest them by yourself.

To find it, you need to go to Yashiori Island, west of Narukami Island. Most of the nodes of Crystal Marrow are near Orobashi’s giant bones.

We recommend completing the world quest - Orobashi’s Legacy - or else lightning will constantly occur in the region. It is possible to harvest the crystals without completing the quest, but doing so will make your life easier.
