In this guide, I will share with you the best method and the best locations for farming different kinds of wood.
Achievements
You can get primogems from achievements by obtaining wood.
Mechanics Explained
If you hit multiple trees within a short timeframe, only 1 tree will drop the wood. This makes the claymore-charged attack a bad option for collecting wood.
The polearm is one of the best weapons for collecting wood due to its attack speed.
Each tree will only drop 3 wood per session. You need to stop hitting it for a few2 seconds before it will start dropping wood again.
No.01 Pine Wood
Teleport to Mondstadt city waypoint near the Alchemy table.
Jump down from the waypoint platform and start hitting the pine trees. Land 3 normal attacks on a pine tree and move on to the next one.
We will hit the pine trees at the higher platform and return to the lower platform later.
The pine trees at the lower platform are ready to drop more wood. Keep repeating the same route until you have enough pine wood.
No.02 Birch Wood
Teleport to the Statue of the Seven at Starfall Lake.
Look for trees with white tree trunks and hit them.
Run around the lake and keep on repeating until you get enough Birch Wood.
We are now back to the initial location where we started hitting the birch tree. They will drop the birch wood again!
No.03 Fragrant Cedar Wood
Teleport to Springvale North waypoint.
Hit the tree 3 times and move on to the next one. Make sure to make your route into a circle and keep on repeating until you get enough Fragrant Cedar Wood.
Now, we are back at the first tree and we can make it drop some wood again!
No.04 Chihua Wood
Teleport to Dadaupa Gorge North West waypoint. You can take a screenshot or pause the video and mark the tree location on your map.
Chihua trees are those trees with Sunsettias or Apples. You can identify them by not picking up the fruits after they drop or by looking at their tree leaves color.
All the Chihua trees in this route don’t have fruits because I picked them up when trying to find the best location to farm Chihua wood.
The route for Chihua tree is slightly bigger because the trees are usually scattered far away from each other thus making it harder to farm than other wood.
Make sure not to pick up the sunsets if you don’t have enough map pins when farming for this wood so you can identify the tree easily.
We are now back at the first tree again. Keep repeating the same route until you get enough Chihua tree.
No.05 Fir Wood
Teleport to Dadaupa Gorge North West waypoint. Please ignore the pins on the map.
Start by hitting the trees around the waypoint and head North.
Go towards the East to hit more trees and go back to the waypoint. Repeat the route until you get enough Fir Wood.
We are now back at the first tree again :D.
No.06 Bamboo Segment
Teleport to Qingce Village South West waypoint.
Head North and hit the bamboo 3 times and use the dash once.
This location should be pretty straightforward by following the technique used previously.
No.07 Sandbearer Wood
Teleport to Guili Plains South East domain waypoint.
You might think there are a lot of Sandbearer trees in Liyue but most of them are “fake” (won’t drop anything when you try to hit the tree).
I avoid hitting those trees with thicker trunks as they won’t drop any wood.
The tree in front of me won’t drop any wood if I hit it.
Again, we are using the same technique with a circular route and keep on repeating the same route until we get enough Sandbearer wood.
You might want to eliminate the abyss mage when farming wood here or you can challenge yourself by dodging its attacks.
We are now back at the domain waypoint and the first tree will drop wood again.
