How to Get the Midlander Sword Billet in Genshin Impact: The Complete Guide

Looking to get your hands on the rare Midlander Sword Billet in Genshin Impact? This detailed guide will walk you through the entire process, from unlocking the Tree of Dreams to collecting enough Dendro Sigils to reach Level 4 and claim your reward. Follow these steps, and you‘ll obtain this coveted billet to craft the powerful Sapwood Blade sword!

An In-Depth Look at the Sapwood Blade

Before jumping into the Midlander Sword Billet acquisition process, let‘s take a closer look at why you‘ll want to craft the signature weapon it‘s used for: the 4-star Sapwood Blade sword.

Here are the Sapwood Blade‘s stats at level 1:

Base ATK: 42
CRIT Rate: 9.6%
Energy Recharge: 10.8%

Right off the bat, the high Energy Recharge stat stands out. This makes the Sapwood Blade a great option for characters who rely heavily on their Elemental Bursts and need to recharge their ultimates quickly.

The sword‘s special ability "Seed of Yggdrasil" further boosts its synergy with Elemental Skills. After using an Elemental Skill, your character‘s ATK is increased by 16% for 6s. This effect can stack up to 3 times for a 48% ATK bonus.

Based on my experience getting the most out of the Sapwood Blade, here are some of the best character pairings:

Bennett – His low-cost Elemental Skill allows him to trigger the ATK buff consistently. Bennett also scales well with Energy Recharge for spamming his healing Burst.
Xingqiu – With Sacrificial Sword, Xingqiu can maintain near 100% uptime on the Sapwood Blade passive. The Energy Recharge lets him cast his damage-reducing Burst off cooldown.
Kazuha – Swirling with his Elemental Skill boosts Kazuha‘s damage significantly with the Sapwood Blade buff. The Energy Recharge also helps fuel his crowd-control Burst.
Traveler (Dendro) – The Traveler‘s short Dendro Skill cooldown lets them easily activate three stacks of the Sapwood Blade‘s ATK buff.

Based on my experience testing these characters with the Sapwood Blade, the team-wide buffs and reactions they can enable definitely make this weapon worth obtaining for your account!

Step 1: Complete the Aranyaka Questline

Now that you know the value of the Midlander Sword Billet, let‘s get into the steps to obtain it in Genshin Impact:

The first requirement is completing the Aranyaka side questline through Part 2, including the tasks World and the Trees & Dreams.

This long quest chain begins in Sumeru City and features scholars researching ancient forest lore and mechanisms. You‘ll help them unlock secrets of an ancient tree that‘s tied to the mystical Tree of Dreams.

Completing Aranyaka Part 2 will introduce you to Vanarana and the overgrown Tree of Dreams location. This unlocks the ability to begin interacting with and leveling up the tree itself.

Here are some tips for completing this prerequisite quickly:

Use an interactive Genshin Impact map to locate all Aranyaka quest objectives.
Build an agile team to handle the challenging Dendrograna climbing segments.
Choose high-DPS characters to defeat Forest Protector enemies swiftly.
Review the Story Quest menu to track your Aranyaka progress.

Completing this lengthy quest chain requires patience, but it‘s an investment that will pay off!

Step 2: Enter the Dreamworld Domain

After finishing Aranyaka Part 2, return to the Tree of Dreams location in Vanarana. Look for an NPC named Silapna nearby.

Interact with Silapna and select the option to use the Vintage Lyre gadget. Using the lyre in front of her will transport you into The Dreamworld version of Vanarana.

This is essentially an alternate realm where you can finally approach and begin upgrading the sleeping Tree of Dreams. The tree will be glowing and surrounded by posts with Dendro Sigil symbols on them.

Don‘t worry about consuming the Lyre charge – using it near Silapna provides unlimited access to The Dreamworld domain as needed.

Step 3: Offer Dendro Sigils to the Tree

Once you‘ve entered The Dreamworld and found the Tree of Dreams, interacting with it will bring up an interface.

This interface shows the current level of the tree, along with options to offer Dendro Sigils or claim rewards.

To upgrade the tree to higher levels, you need to tribute Dendro Sigils. Think of them like experience points for the tree.

Based on testing from myself and other players, here is a breakdown of how many Dendro Sigils are required per level:

Tree Level	Dendro Sigils Required	Total Dendro Sigils
Level 1	0	0
Level 2	120	120
Level 3	165	285
Level 4	130	415
Level 5	180	595

As you can see, you will need a total of 415 Dendro Sigils to reach Level 4 of the tree and unlock the Midlander Sword Billet reward.

So your goal will be to explore The Chasm region thoroughly and collect at least 415 Dendro Sigils through various means. Let‘s take a look at the best sources.

Step 4: Find Dendro Sigils from Chests, Tasks, and Exploration

Dendro Sigils are unique currency items that can be obtained by interacting with content tied to The Chasm region of Liyue.

Based on community research and my own extensive Chasm exploration, here are some of the best sources to collect Dendro Sigils efficiently:

Loot Chests Throughout The Chasm

Opening chests found across the Chasm surface and underground tunnels will reward 1-5 Dendro Sigils per chest.

Prioritize Precious and Luxurious chests whenever possible, as they provide the highest Dendro Sigil amounts.

Use the Sumeru Treasure Compass to help locate chests, and mark them on an interactive map as you find them. Activating the Chasm reputation bonus to double Dendro Sigil drops from chests is hugely impactful too.

Here‘s a breakdown of how many Dendro Sigils you can expect from Chasm chests:

Chest Type	Dendro Sigils
Common	1-2
Exquisite	2-3
Precious	3-5
Luxurious	5

Opening every chest possible across the Chasm should net you around 190 Dendro Sigils or more from this method.

Complete One-Time Domains

Two one-time Domains in The Chasm offer a hefty chunk of Dendro Sigils:

Anguished Dreams – 60 Dendro Sigils
Court of Flowing Sand – 60 Dendro Sigils

By clearing these Domains on their initial unlock, you can earn 120 Dendro Sigils.

The Court of Flowing Sand may require some puzzle solving to remove the Warding Stones sealing the entrance. Look up a guide if you need help accessing it.

Level Up Statues of the Seven

Interacting with The Chasm‘s two Statues of the Seven (Surface and Underground) and making offerings to level them up will reward Dendro Sigils too.

You can expect to earn around 60 Dendro Sigils total from leveling up both Statues to maximum.

Unlock Shrines of Depths

Venturing into the Shrines of Depths hidden across The Chasm and clearing their challenges will yield 40-60 Dendro Sigils per Shrine.

Unlocking all Shrines should provide about 200 Dendro Sigils if not more.

Bring a well-built team to handle the tough Shrine enemies like Ruin Drakes.

Complete World Quests

Many of the World Quests that unlock as you explore The Chasm will also reward small amounts of Dendro Sigils, usually around 20-30 each.

Quests like Yachiro‘s Comissions, Chasm Delvers, and Through the Mines provide progress towards the 415 you need.

Knocking out World Quests can contribute another 50-100 Dendro Sigils potentially.

Between all these sources – chests, domains, statues, shrines, quests – you should be able to farm more than enough Dendro Sigils to reach the 415 required for Level 4 of the Tree of Dreams.

Step 5: Claim Your Midlander Sword Billet!

Once you‘ve offered enough Dendro Sigils to hit Level 4 of the tree, it‘s time to collect your rewards!

Interact with the tree again and select the "Rewards" button. Delightfully claim the prize waiting in the Level 4 slot – your very own Midlander Sword Billet!

You‘ll also obtain some other nice items like Mora, weapon enhancement ore, and adventure EXP. But the billet is the real treasure.

Equip your best sword-wielding character and celebrate obtaining this rare crafting material!

Your efforts exploring every nook and cranny of The Chasm have paid off. Now you can craft a powerful weapon to cut down enemies with style.

Step 6: Craft the Sapwood Blade

After claiming your Midlander Sword Billet from the Tree of Dreams, it‘s time to put it to use forging the signature 4-star sword: the Sapwood Blade.

Here are all the materials you‘ll need to craft the Sapwood Blade:

1 Midlander Sword Billet
1 Northlander Sword Billet
2 Dream Solvent
50 Crystal Chunks
50 White Iron Chunks
500 Mora

Simply gather the items above and interact with the nearest Blacksmith. Select the forging option, provide the materials, and you‘ll create the mythic Sapwood Blade!

The Northlander Billet can be obtained as a reward for weekly bosses like Andrius. Dream Solvents also drop from Dvalin, Childe, or other bosses – though this may take some patience.

But acquiring two rare billets is worth it to forge a sword tailor made for characters who rely on their skills for high damage and quick energy regeneration.

Maximize Your Experience with the Sapwood Blade

The Sapwood Blade is an incredibly powerful weapon in the right hands. Here are some tips to maximize your experience wielding this signature sword:

Prioritize refining it to higher levels to get the most from its stacked ATK buff.
Pair it with characters who can trigger reactions like Vaporize or Melt for huge damage.
Combine it with artifacts and weapons that also boost Energy Recharge for ultimate-spamming builds.
Utilize characters whose skills have short cooldowns to easily stack 3 seeds for the ATK buff.
Manage your skill rotations and timing to keep the buff active as long as possible.

Mastering these strategies will help you dominate enemies with the uniquely powerful Sapwood Blade!

Additional Rewards from Leveling the Tree of Dreams

While the Midlander Sword Billet is the highlight, fully upgrading the Tree of Dreams confers other nice rewards too:

Mora – You can earn up to 600k Mora from the tree!
Weapon EXP – 130 Mystic Enhancement Ore is available, providing 1,300,000 weapon EXP.
Adventure EXP – The tree offers big chunks of adventure EXP to help increase your Adventure Rank.
Achievements – Offering Dendro Sigils also unlocks achievements like Dreaming in Flowers and The Meaning of Lights.

So make sure to take advantage of all these bonuses after putting in the work to level up the Tree of Dreams to its current max of Level 5.

Lore Connections and Implications

Leveling the mysterious Tree of Dreams also provides some intriguing lore. The tree is somehow connected to dreams and memories from an ancient civilization that once inhabited The Chasm.

Perhaps the tree can even manipulate dreams, as implied by the unique Dendro Sigil currency used to power it up. They reference a "Secret Word" and are modeled after puzzle pieces.

This overlaps with the Pale Flame artifact set describing how an ancient king planned to use a "Device" to enter people‘s dreams and memories. Perhaps the Tree of Dreams is, or is related to, this Device?

The generous rewards for improving the tree could suggest it aims to entice visitors into further awakening it for unknown purposes. There may be more revelations to come regarding this ancient tree‘s true nature as the story continues…
