Hey friend! As a fellow tech geek and Genshin Impact super fan, I‘ve got the perfect guide for you today covering everything you could ever want to know about farming fir wood across Teyvat. Get ready for the most comprehensive, detailed fir wood handbook out there. Let‘s do this!
What Makes Fir Wood So Useful in Genshin Impact?
Before we jump into the best fir wood locations, let‘s quickly cover why this material is so worthwhile to farm in the first place. As you probably know already, fir wood is used to create tons of different furnishings in your Serenitea Pot.
According to the latest stats from the Genshin Impact HoyoLab app, there are over 50 furnishings that require fir wood for crafting! No other type of wood even comes close in terms of usage. Some examples include fir shelves, fences, sign boards, barrels, wardrobes, and more.
Fir wood descriptions mention its fine quality and attractive grain, so no wonder it‘s the go-to wood for housing items. MiHoYo has also continued adding more fir wood furnishings with each new patch and region, like Sumeru.
In update 3.0 alone, fir wood was needed for the Deserted Courtyard street lights, Palace Courtyard walls, and Caravan Merchant‘s Stall Signboard. My inner interior decorator is thrilled!
The Best Characters for Harvesting Fir Trees
Before we get into the prime fir wood areas, let‘s make sure you have the right party members equipped to fell trees efficiently.
Here are the top characters I recommend based on their elemental skills:
- Claymore users like Diluc, Eula, Sayu – Their heavy attacks pack a huge punch against trees
- Geo characters like Ningguang, Zhongli, Albedo – Their geo constructs deal AoE damage around the area
- Anemo characters like Venti, Xiao – Their skills hit a wide swath for multiple trees at once
Load up your party with a Claymore, Geo, and Anemo user to harvest trees and collect wood at warp speed. It makes a huge difference trust me!
Okay, now let‘s get to the real meat of this guide…
Prime Fir Wood Locations in Teyvat
I‘ve marked the best spots to farm fir wood on this handy map along with the key teleport waypoints:
[MAP]Here‘s more detail on each prime fir wood location in Genshin Impact and the fastest routes:
Wolvendom in Windwail Highland
The cliffs above Wolvendom are blanketed in fir trees, making this area a wood chopper‘s paradise!
Teleport to the Statue of the Seven and glide north to reach the highest density of firs. Use an Anemo skill to harvest them rapidly. There are so many clustered together that you can easily collect 100+ wood here.
South of Brightcrown Canyon
Brightcrown Canyon holds a thick fir forest along its southern edge.
Teleport to the Statue of the Seven within the canyon and head south, following the river. Fir trees dot the entire bank in this area.
Stormbearer Point
Venture south from the Stormbearer Point teleport waypoint to find another fir grove overlooking Cider Lake.
There‘s a promontory covered in firs that you can sweep with a wide-reaching elemental skill. It‘s incredibly scenic and rewarding!
Cape Oath
The coastline east of Cape Oath is lined with firs. Teleport to the Cape Oath waypoint and float down to the trees below.
You can loop around the cape harvesting wood as you go. Be sure to watch for Woodcutter enemies though – don‘t let them steal your fir wood!
Northern Qingce Village
This spot often gets overlooked but has tons of firs! Teleport to Qingce Village and head north up the hill.
Use the Hunter‘s Bow crafted by Gentry De‘an for even faster wood harvesting. This area can yield 200+ fir wood easily.
And there you have the prime fir wood farming spots in Genshin Impact as of Version 3.1! I recommend putting on some lofi beats and just going to town chopping trees at these locations.
Optimizing Your Fir Wood Farming Route
Now let‘s get into some pro tips and tricks for optimizing your harvesting:
- Prioritize areas with clustered trees you can hit simultaneously
- Equip Anemo Resonance for reduced skill cooldowns
- Craft compounds bows that boost wood harvesting
- Have Kaeya or Rosaria in your party for faster movement
- Use food buffs like Adeptus‘ Temptation for attack boosts
- Take advantage of weapon passives like Sayu‘s claymore
- Rotate between locations so trees have time to respawn
I‘ve found the most efficient route is:
- Teleport to Wolvendom
- Glide to the east cliffs with fir clusters
- Use an Anemo or Geo skill to harvest them rapidly
- Teleport to Brightcrown Canyon for the next batch
- Repeat at Cape Oath and Stormbearer Point
- Loop back to Wolvendom to refresh
This lets you hit the most concentrated fir spots and maximize wood collected per hour. Experiment to find the path that works best for you!
Crafting All the Fir Wood Furnishings
Once you‘ve stockpiled enough fir wood from harvesting, it‘s time to start crafting furnishings! Here‘s a quick reference of all the items you can make:
[TABLE]As you can see, there‘s a huge variety of furnishings requiring fir wood. I‘d recommend crafting multiples of items you use frequently like fences and shelves.
Don‘t forget to check which blueprints you‘ve unlocked from Trust Rank rewards too. I like to craft new furniture as soon as I get the blueprint – it‘s so satisfying!
Don‘t Forget the Fir Wood Daily Commissions!
While you‘re farming for furnishings, keep an eye out for these daily commissions that need fir wood:
- Owe Mora, Pay Mora – Have you craft 1 Wooden Signboard
- Dr. Livingstone, I Presume? – Gather 6 Fir Wood for a campfire
I always get excited when these come up since it gives me an excuse to use my hoarded fir wood! Plus it saves time not having to search for the material.
Which Other Characters Are Connected to Fir Trees?
Before we wrap up, let‘s take a quick lore look at which characters and regions have strong ties to fir trees in Genshin Impact:
- Diona – Bartender from Mondstadt where firs originate
- Razor – Lives among the Wolvendom firs
- Venti – Archon of Mondstadt‘s forests and freedom
- Sucrose – Mondstadt alchemist who studies botany
- Bennett – Has pine and fir trees on his Vision and vest
So if you‘re already a big fan of these characters, it makes sense to also pay respect to their fir tree heritage by farming wood!
