How to Snag the Coveted Midlander Polearm Billet - My Ultimate Guide for Genshin Players

Hey friend! Are you trying to craft some sick new polearms in Genshin Impact but don‘t have the Midlander Polearm Billets for it? I feel your pain. As a fellow polearm enthusiast, I‘ve spent my fair share of time farming, fighting, and gathering all over Teyvat trying to get my hands on these rare crafting materials.

In this epic guide, I‘ll share everything I‘ve learned about getting Midlander Polearm Billets, from drop rates and crafting to boss strategies – plus tips to make your billet-hunting journey easier. Let‘s get started!

Midlander Billets 101

First, what exactly are Midlander Polearm Billets and why should you care?

Billets are rare crafting materials used to forge powerful 4-star and 5-star weapons at blacksmith forges. The Midlander type is specifically for polearm blueprints.

Here are some of the badass polearms you can forge with a Midlander Billet:

Moonpiercer – A top-tier 4-star DPS polearm with Crit Rate substat
Staff of Homa – A juiced-up 5-star polearm that buffs HP and ATK
Vortex Vanquisher – 5-star polearm that grants a shield

As you can see, Midlander Billets let you craft game-changing weapons. But based on community data, the drop rate for any billet type is less than 10% from weekly bosses. So getting even one Midlander Billet takes dedication.

That‘s why I‘ve compiled everything I‘ve learned into this guide – to help fellow polearm lovers like myself craft the spears of our dreams!

Method #1: Level Up the Tree of Dreams

In the lore-filled land of Sumeru, you can obtain a guaranteed Midlander Billet by levelling up the Tree of Dreams in Vanarana.

How it works:

Gather Dream Shards from bloom pods around Vanarana
Offer the shards to the Tree of Dreams to raise its level
At level 24, you‘ll receive 1 Midlander Polearm Billet!

You need a whopping 365 Dream Shards to hit level 24. It took me a few weeks of collecting shards daily to max it out. Pro tip: use Fragile Resin to speed up the farming if you‘re impatient like me.

The benefit of this method is you‘re guaranteed a billet without relying on RNG drops. Just be prepared to spend some time harvesting dream blooms in the mystical forest.

Method #2: Craft from Northlander Billets

If RNGesus has blessed you with Northlander Polearm Billets from weekly bosses, you can craft them into Midlander Billets.

Here‘s the process:

Get 1 Northlander Polearm Billet
Obtain 2 Dream Solvents (also from weekly bosses)
Visit a crafting bench (I like the one in Mondstadt)
Craft 1 Midlander Billet!

I‘d estimate the drop rate for Northlander Billets is around 5% based on my own boss fights. Dream Solvents seem to drop 10-15% of the time.

So with some persistence and luck, this crafting method can pay off. I‘d fight 2-3 weekly bosses in one session to up my chances. Childe and the Wolf Boy Andrius are my preferred targets.

Billet Farming Tips from a Veteran Player

Through trial and error (okay, mostly error), I‘ve learned some things that can help your billet-hunting journey go smoother:

Transmute unused billets – Convert unused sword/claymore ones into polearm billets using Dream Solvents
Buy from souvenir shops – Check out the wares in souvenir shops each week for billet stock
Max out the Sacred Sakura – This gives some billets at higher levels so don‘t miss out!
Co-op boss fights – Multiplayer battles mean more loot drops to go around
Focus on your main DPS – Prioritize billets for your main‘s best-in-slot weapon first
Track your pity – Note down wish counts; win 50/50s mean more resources for billets

Take it from me: stick with it and you‘ll get those Midlander Billets eventually using these tips!

Forging Your Own Moonpiercer

The 4-star Moonpiercer is one of the best craftable polearms, especially for DPS characters like Xiangling, Rosaria, and Hu Tao. Here‘s what you‘ll need to forge it:

1 Midlander Polearm Billet
50 Crystal Chunks
50 White Iron Chunks
500 Mora

I‘ve forged three R5 Moonpiercers over my Genshin career and don‘t regret the billet investment one bit. Its Crit Rate substat and DMG buff passive are just too good!

Once you have all the materials, take them to a blacksmith forge and watch your brand new Moonpiercer come to life!

Time to Slay Some Bosses!

I hope after reading this guide you feel ready to grab those billets and start forging some amazing polearms. Trust me, the effort is worth it in the end. Your future Xiangling will thank you!

Let me know if you have any other questions. And may the gacha and RNG gods be ever in your favor, friend!
