Enemy Drop - Samachurl Scrolls
Unlike many of Qiqi’s other ascension materials, her enemy drop is one of the easiest to obtain in large numbers. Qiqi uses Scrolls, which can be obtained from any type of Samachurl.
Players can expect to collect a lot of these naturally just by playing the game. For those looking to speed up the process though, Stormterror’s Lair is a good place to fight a lot of Samachurls.
Boss Drop - Hoarfrost Core

Local Specialty - Violetgrass
One of the most difficult parts of ascending Qiqi is the need for Violetgrass. The most difficult local specialty to find for some players, Violetgrass can be found sparsely on the side of cliff sides in Liyue, especially in the mountainous west. They can also be bought from Herbalist Gui and Verr Goldet.
Qiqi Talent Materials
In addition to leveling up, players will also want to upgrade Qiqi’s talents. These will require some unique items different from the ones used for ascensions, including talent books, trounce materials, and Crowns of Insight.

Talent Books - Prosperity
