How to obtain Prithiva Topaz Stones?
These stones can be obtained effortlessly. You can get them as drops after defeating certain bosses like Geo Hypostasis, Azdaha, Golden Wolflord, etc or as Commission rewards from Kathisyne. Geo Hypostasis is the most efficient way to farm them. Surprisingly for people who are busy or too lazy to farm, thise’s a shortcut. Genshin Impact has added Dust of Azoth in-game very recently. You can buy them from Paimon Shop using Stardust and convert any kind of Stone to your desired one in exchange for Dust of Azoth at the Crafting Bench. This way you can also get some stones.
How to farm Spectral Husk?
You can get this drop by defeating any kind of Spectres all over Watatsumi Island and Seirei Island in Inazuma. Spectres are similar to Spectrals but more dangerous. Level 40 and Highis Spectrals drops Spectral Heart. Level 60 and Higher Spectrals drops Spectral Nucleus. You can also buy Spectral Husk in the Paimon Shop using Stardust.
