The trap with talent books is that they are locked to weekdays - which book your character needs decides whether you can farm on Monday or Wednesday. This guide covers the full regional domain schedule, the complete material checklist for a maxed talent, and a farming plan that does not fight the event calendar.
Each region has a set of three talent book series, one per character group. Which book a character uses depends on their region, not their element - a Pyro character from Mondstadt uses the Freedom series, while a Pyro character from Liyue uses Prosperity.
Talent books carry a talent from level 2 all the way to 10 and are central to a character's damage. But the three series do not all drop every day; they rotate by weekday, which is why talent farming needs a calendar.
Every region's Domain of Mastery rotates the same way: one series on Monday and Thursday, one on Tuesday and Friday, one on Wednesday and Saturday.
| Region | Domain | Mon / Thu | Tue / Fri | Wed / Sat |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mondstadt | Forsaken Rift | Freedom | Resistance | Ballad |
| Liyue | Taishan Mansion | Prosperity | Diligence | Gold |
| Inazuma | Violet Court | Transience | Elegance | Light |
| Sumeru | Steeple of Ignorance | Admonition | Ingenuity | Praxis |
| Fontaine | Pale Forgotten Glory | Equity | Justice | Order |
| Natlan | Blazing Ruins | Contention | Kindling | Conflict |
| Nod-Krai | Lightless Capital | Moonlight | Elysium | Vagrancy |
Sunday opens every series. It is the only chance to fill the last few books without waiting another week, so plan a Sunday cleanup into your routine.
From level 2 to 10, each step costs the following (per single talent):
| Talent Level | Materials |
|---|---|
| 2 | Teachings x3 + low-tier enemy drop x6 |
| 3 | Guide x2 + mid-tier enemy drop x3 |
| 4 | Guide x4 + mid-tier enemy drop x4 |
| 5 | Guide x6 + mid-tier enemy drop x6 |
| 6 | Guide x9 + mid-tier enemy drop x9 |
| 7 | Philosophies x4 + high-tier enemy drop x4 + weekly boss material x1 |
| 8 | Philosophies x6 + high-tier enemy drop x6 + weekly boss material x1 |
| 9 | Philosophies x12 + high-tier enemy drop x9 + weekly boss material x2 |
| 10 | Philosophies x16 + high-tier enemy drop x12 + weekly boss material x2 + Crown x1 |
| Total | Teachings 3 / Guides 21 / Philosophies 38 + enemy drops 6/22/31 + weekly 6 + Crown 1 |
Philosophies dominate the total at 38 books, and they only drop from higher-level domains. The expensive part of a talent is everything after level 7.
Talent books are never the whole bill: one talent to level 10 costs about 1.65 million Mora, and all three run close to 4.95 million. The harder limit is Crowns of Insight - each level 10 talent needs one, and Crowns come only from limited events, regional offerings, and a few quests. They cannot be farmed.
Treat triple-crowning as a long-term goal. Crown your long-term core characters and do not spread Crowns across every character you level.
Talent books come down to a calendar and a checklist. Confirm which series your characters use, farm on the open days, and fill gaps on Sunday. One maxed talent needs 3/21/38 books, 1.65 million Mora, and a Crown, while all three run near 4.95 million Mora plus 3 Crowns. Crowns cannot be farmed, so save them for your long-term core team.
