With the recent release of Yelan in Genshin Impact, many people are eager to start farming for her ascension materials. While you may already be familiar with Starconches if you leveled up Childe, knowing exactly where to farm them will make it easier to obtain them in a short amount of time. This guide will teach you how and where to farm Starconches in Genshin Impact.
Where to Farm Starconches in Genshin Impact
You will mainly find Starconches along Liyue’s coastlines and southwest of Dragonspine. The Genshin Impact Interactive World Map image above shows the potential Starconch spawning locations. The Starconches appear on the ground as blue, stripped conch shells that you can interact with to pick up. Below are some specific farming routes to take to maximize your Starconch gathering:
Starting at the eastern Starglow Cavern teleporter in Dragonspine, head south to the eastern-most Starconch shells. From here, travel west along the Mingyun Village coastline past the Statue of Seven until you find the western teleporter. Teleport down to the eastern part of Yaoguang Shoal and travel west again until you reach the end of the area.
Teleport to Guili Plains and head to the northernmost Starconch shell spot. Travel south along the coastline, collecting each shell you find along the way. Alternatively, you can take the southern teleport in Guili Plains and travel north from the southernmost Starconch shell location.
Teleport to the northern part of Guyun Stone Forest. Head west before looping back around, taking a clockwise route around to each island.

During each farming run, you’ll find up to 77 Starconch shells. Since the shells take time to reset, you’ll have to periodically check back at these locations if you’re looking to farm enough Starconch shells to max out Yelan or Childe. Expect to return to these areas over several days, especially if you’re looking to get materials for both characters.
Genshin Impact is available on PC, Android, iOS, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 platforms.
