Frostfairy Flower is a Snezhnaya Local Specialty introduced in Genshin Impact Version 7.0 and an essential ascension material for Odette. Fully ascending Odette requires 168 Frostfairy Flowers, so players building her should clear the major clusters across Snezhnaya and repeat the route after the flowers respawn.
What Is Frostfairy Flower Used For?
Frostfairy Flower is primarily used as one of Odette’s character ascension materials. You’ll need progressively larger quantities at each ascension stage, eventually reaching 168 flowers in total.
| Character Level | Frostfairy Flowers Required |
|---|---|
| 20–40 | 3 |
| 40–50 | 10 |
| 50–60 | 20 |
| 60–70 | 30 |
| 70–80 | 45 |
| 80–90 | 60 |
| Total | 168 |
Because of that high total, it’s worth collecting Frostfairy Flowers whenever you encounter them while exploring Snezhnaya, even if you aren’t ready to ascend Odette immediately.
How to Find Frostfairy Flowers
Frostfairy Flowers grow throughout Snezhnaya’s snowy environments. They can appear beside paths, around settlements, on elevated terrain, and in other exposed locations.
The pale surroundings can make individual plants relatively easy to overlook, particularly in areas where the flowers aren’t grouped closely together.
Genshin Impact’s Item Tracker is useful here. Open the material through your inventory or Odette’s ascension requirements and activate its tracking option. The map can then highlight general collection areas with blue circles and provide an indication of how many materials are available within them.
Once you’ve learned a reliable farming route, the tracker becomes more useful for finding anything you accidentally skipped.
Frostfairy Flower Respawn Time
Collected Frostfairy Flowers return after approximately 48 hours.
Since a single world’s available supply isn’t enough to immediately collect all 168 required for Odette, you’ll need multiple farming runs unless you have another source of flowers available.
A simple farming schedule is to clear your entire route, note when you finished, and return two days later to repeat the same path.
Best Frostfairy Flower Locations
Frostfairy Flowers are distributed across several parts of Snezhnaya rather than being concentrated in one location. The main areas worth checking are:
- Birch Necropolis
- Sanctuary of Grief
- Snezhnograd
- Central Station
- Korolevskiy Theater
- Inverted Glacier
- Areas southeast of Central Station
- Cavern of Melodic Tides
For an efficient run, prioritize the larger clusters first and leave isolated underground or remote flowers until the end.
Birch Necropolis Frostfairy Flower Route
Birch Necropolis is one of the most useful starting points for a farming run because its flowers can be collected along a relatively natural path.
Begin at the southern Teleport Waypoint and work north through the region. Check both sides of the snowy road as you travel, including nearby elevated sections where flowers may be positioned away from the main path.
Continue toward the Statue of the Seven, collecting the remaining nearby flowers before moving to the next region.
Following a single northbound route is faster than repeatedly teleporting between individual flower markers and helps minimize backtracking.
Sanctuary of Grief Route
Next, teleport to the southern waypoint near the Sanctuary of Grief.
Travel north while checking the main path and surrounding elevated terrain. Continue clearing the available flowers as you move toward the Sanctuary and the route leading toward Signora’s Tomb.
Once you’ve cleared the nearby cluster, teleport onward rather than retracing your path.
Snezhnograd and Central Station Route
The Snezhnograd and Central Station section is convenient because several Frostfairy Flowers can be collected while moving through developed areas rather than crossing large stretches of wilderness.
Start near the Statue of the Seven around Central Station and collect the closest flowers before moving farther into Snezhnograd.
Check planters, rooftops, and other accessible parts of the city as you proceed. Since these flowers can be scattered between structures, using the Item Tracker or a Local Specialty passive can save time.
Korolevskiy Theater Route
The Korolevskiy Theater cluster is a quick stop during a full farming run.
Teleport to the theater and search the nearby planters for Frostfairy Flowers. There isn’t much reason to make this your starting point, but its compact layout makes it an efficient addition between larger farming areas.
Inverted Glacier and Remote Clusters
After clearing the main regions, visit the smaller Frostfairy Flower groups near the Inverted Glacier and southeast of Central Station.
These isolated pickups aren’t as efficient on their own, but they’re worth collecting when your goal is to maximize the number of flowers obtained during each 48-hour respawn cycle.
Cavern of Melodic Tides Route
The Cavern of Melodic Tides contains another smaller group of Frostfairy Flowers.
Enter the cavern and search around Meeting Point: Tidesong Cavern for the available plants. Since this section requires an underground detour and contains fewer flowers than the main routes, it’s best saved until the end of your run.
Players who only need a few additional flowers can skip it and focus on the faster overworld clusters instead.
Best Full Frostfairy Flower Farming Route
For a complete run, the most efficient general order is:
- Birch Necropolis – Travel from the southern waypoint north toward the Statue of the Seven.
- Sanctuary of Grief – Clear flowers while moving north through the area.
- Central Station and Snezhnograd – Check nearby city locations, planters, and rooftops.
- Korolevskiy Theater – Grab the compact group around the theater.
- Inverted Glacier and remote locations – Clean up the smaller overworld clusters.
- Cavern of Melodic Tides – Finish with the underground flowers if you need every available pickup.
After completing the route, return once the 48-hour respawn period has passed and repeat it until you reach 168.
Use Odette or Alyosha to Find Frostfairy Flowers
Both Odette and Alyosha can make Frostfairy Flower farming easier thanks to their regional exploration passives.
Adding either character to your active party reveals nearby Snezhnaya Local Specialties on the minimap. This is particularly valuable when searching locations where Frostfairy Flowers are spread across different elevations or hidden among other environmental details.
Combining this passive with the Item Tracker provides an efficient way to clean up flowers you might otherwise miss.
All Odette Ascension Materials
Frostfairy Flowers are only one requirement for fully ascending Odette. Her complete character ascension materials include:
| Material | Total Required |
|---|---|
| Frostfairy Flower | 168 |
| Shivada Jade Sliver | 1 |
| Shivada Jade Fragment | 9 |
| Shivada Jade Chunk | 9 |
| Shivada Jade Gemstone | 6 |
| Ethereal Glimmershard | 18 |
| Ethereal Crystal | 30 |
| Ethereal Crystalscale Stone | 36 |
| Unscorched Blossom Branch | 46 |
| Mora | 420,000 |
The Ethereal material series comes from enemies found in Snezhnaya, while Unscorched Blossom Branch is obtained from the normal boss associated with Odette’s ascension progression. Shivada Jade materials can be collected from appropriate Cryo-related sources or converted at a Crafting Bench when needed.
These totals only cover character ascension. Odette’s Talent upgrades require a separate supply of enemy materials, Talent books, weekly boss drops, Mora, and Crowns of Insight.
With 168 Frostfairy Flowers needed for the final build, the most efficient approach is to begin collecting them early rather than waiting until every other Odette material is ready. Clear the major Snezhnaya clusters first, use the Item Tracker and Local Specialty passives to catch anything you miss, and repeat the route after each 48-hour respawn cycle.
