Kaveh Ascension Guide: How I Survived the Dendro Grind

Hey fellow Travelers! Let me tell you about my week-long adventure prepping materials for Kaveh – it felt like running a marathon where the finish line kept moving further away. 🏃♂️💨 When I first saw this Dendro architect swing his claymore during the 3.6 livestream, I knew I had to make him my next main DPS. Little did I know I'd become best friends with Sumeru's fungi population and develop an unhealthy obsession with glowing flowers...

When the Game Says 'Suffering Required'

Let's break down Kaveh's ascension needs – it's like the game wants us to become professional botanists and mineralogists simultaneously. Here's what drained my Resin reserves:

Phase	Mora	Nagadus Emerald	Mourning Flowers	Fungus Junk	Boss Drops
1 ➔ 2	20k	Sliver x1	🌼x3	Spores x3	-
2 ➔ 3	40k	Fragments x3	🌼x10	Spores x15	Creeper x2
...	...	...	...	...	...

That final phase requiring 60 Mourning Flowers? I swear those blue blossoms started appearing in my nightmares. Pro tip: Use Tighnari's passive – it turns him into a flower-sniffing hound! 🐾

Talent Torture 101

Leveling talents made me question my life choices. Each skill needs:

• 📚 Ingenuity Books (farmable only on Tue/Fri/Sun – thanks for the FOMO, miHoYo)

• 🍄 Fungal Spores → Pollen → Cyst Dust (like Pokémon evolution but less cute)

• 🌿 Primordial Greenbloom (requires Nahida's story quest + weekly boss RNG)

I burned through 3 Dream Solvents converting wrong boss drops. That moment when you get 3x of the material you DON'T need? Classic Genshin trolling. 😭

Fungus Farming Fiasco

Here's what I learned hunting those spore-dropping mushrooms:

1. Elemental landmines: Hit them with Electro/Pyro → get useless drops

2. Bow supremacy: Ganyu sniping from 50m away became my safest strat

3. Respawn routes: Mark every fungus camp – you'll revisit more than your teapot

Fun story: I once triggered Burning on 8 fungi simultaneously. The resulting explosion launched my Kokomi into orbit. 🚀

The Real MVP

Shoutout to Dust of Azoth – that sparkly converter dust saved me from:

• 15 extra Dendro Hypostasis fights

• Mental breakdown when I needed 6 more Fragments

• Wasting Fragile Resin on wrong-element crystals

Final Thoughts

After 168 hours of grinding:

• My Kaveh hits like a truck 🚛💥

• I can draw Sumeru's map from memory

• Fungi now wave at me in coop mode

Was it worth it? Absolutely. Watching Kaveh's Dendro-infused claymore shred through Abyss 12-3? Chef's kiss. 👨🍳💋
