World Bosses (Normal Bosses) are the powerful overworld enemies stationed across Teyvat — the Hypostasis family, Cryo and Pyro Regisvines, Oceanid, Primo Geovishap, Maguu Kenki, Jadeplume Terrorshroom, Icewind Suite and many more. Defeating one spawns a Trounce Blossom; opening it costs 40 Original Resin. No Resin, no reward — that is the key difference between a World Boss and an ordinary elite enemy.
They drop two things that matter: a unique Character Ascension material (one specific to each boss, such as a Hurricane Seed or Cleansing Heart) and elemental gems for the matching element (Sliver / Fragment / Chunk / Gemstone). When a character is stuck at the 20/40/50/60/70/80 level caps, these are the two things you are missing.
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Adventure EXP | 200 |
| Companionship EXP | Scales with World Level, roughly 40–45 |
| Mora | Scales with World Level, roughly 2,000–3,000+ |
| Boss-exclusive ascension material | About 2–3 at WL8 (average ~2.55) |
| Elemental gems | Slivers / Fragments / Chunks (gold Gemstone drop rate is roughly 2%) |
| Artifacts | 3–4 star, random |
Note that gold Gemstone rate. The final ascension alone needs 6 Gemstones, and farming them directly from World Bosses is not realistic — convert lower-tier gems upward at the crafting bench, or take them from weekly bosses instead.
Every character, from level 1 to level 90, needs a total of 46 of their boss's unique material. The number is fixed regardless of rarity or region:
| Ascension | Level gate | Boss material | Elemental gems |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 20 → 40 | 0 | 1 Sliver |
| Phase 2 | 40 → 50 | 2 | 3 Fragments |
| Phase 3 | 50 → 60 | 4 | 6 Fragments |
| Phase 4 | 60 → 70 | 8 | 3 Chunks |
| Phase 5 | 70 → 80 | 12 | 6 Chunks |
| Phase 6 | 80 → 90 | 20 | 6 Gemstones |
| Total | — | 46 | 1 / 9 / 9 / 6 |
The takeaway: Phase 6 alone costs 20 materials — 43% of the total. At World Level 8 a run drops 2–3, so 46 materials takes roughly 15–23 kills. At 40 Resin each, the full process (gems included) runs about 720–760 Resin — roughly four days of natural regeneration.
That is why rushing a brand-new pull to level 90 immediately is a bad idea: funding one character from zero eats most of a week's Resin.

Why this table lists one boss per row: several bosses drop more than one gem, and grouping them into a single "region → gems" cell is the most common source of wrong boss tables. Maguu Kenki, Perpetual Mechanical Array, Bathysmal Vishap Herd, Icewind Suite and Aeonblight Drake are all dual-element, and Primo Geovishap always drops Prithiva Topaz plus whatever element it infused. Natlan-and-later bosses follow the same rule — match the gem to the boss's own element rather than to the region.
Characters of the same element share gems, so when building several characters of one element, batch the same boss. Surplus gems are never wasted — a future character of that element will use them.
| World Boss | Weekly Boss | |
|---|---|---|
| Resin cost | 40 per claim | 30 for the first 3 each week, 60 after |
| Reset | Respawns immediately after claiming | Monday 4:00 AM server time |
| Adventure EXP | 200 | 300 |
| Main rewards | Ascension materials + elemental gems | Talent materials + elemental gems + billets |
| Condensed Resin usable | No | No |
Weekly bosses give one talent-material claim per boss per week, and their gold Gemstone efficiency beats World Bosses. So once you are pushing 80 → 90, clearing all three discounted weekly bosses is the highest-value action available.
Also worth knowing: Dream Solvent converts unwanted weekly boss materials into the type you need at the crafting bench — a lifesaver when building several characters at once. It cannot convert World Boss materials.
