Genshin Impact version 7.0 brought a brand-new region in Snezhnaya, and with it came a handful of materials that don't follow the usual ascension farming rules. Frostfairy Flower is one of them. The game won't mark it on your map automatically, which means you're left to track it down manually across a region that's anything but small. This guide covers every confirmed Frostfairy Flower location and the most efficient route to collect what you need without backtracking.
What is Frostfairy Flower used for in Genshin Impact?
Frostfairy Flower is not a standard character ascension material. Instead, it's required for crafting Snezhnaya's free-to-play craftable weapons. If you want to unlock the diagrams and build these weapons, Frostfairy Flower is part of the cost. Since these weapons are entirely free, gathering the required amount is worth doing early.
The material doesn't show up in the Adventure Guide's tracking system the way ascension materials do, so you can't rely on the built-in compass to hunt it down. Manual exploration or a pre-planned route is the only way to go.
Genshin Impact Guide: All Frostfairy Flower Locations & Best Farm Route
Where to find Frostfairy Flower in Genshin Impact
Frostfairy Flower spawns across multiple areas of the Snezhnaya map. The confirmed locations are:
- Rankova Zorya
- North of the Inverted Glacier Domain
- West of Svetloledovka
- East of Svetloledovka
The spread across the map makes this material feel more annoying to collect than most. That said, the cluster north of the Inverted Glacier Domain is by far the densest single source, so if you're short on time, that area alone can cover a significant chunk of what you need.

What's the best Frostfairy Flower farming route?
After testing routes across Snezhnaya, the most time-efficient path runs through four teleport points in sequence. Here's the order:
- Rankova Zorya teleport point — Start here and collect any Frostfairy Flowers visible around the city area.
- North of Inverted Glacier Domain — Head north from Rankova Zorya toward the domain. This stretch has an abundant cluster and should yield the bulk of your haul.
- West of Svetloledovka teleport point — Warp here and collect the flowers in the immediate area.
- East of Svetloledovka teleport point — Final stop. Use the eastern teleport point and clear the remaining flowers in the zone.
Running all four stops in one session should get you close to or past the total amount needed for both craftable weapons.
How many Frostfairy Flowers do you need?
The total requirement depends on which weapons you're crafting. Based on the Snezhnaya craftable weapon system, you'll want to plan for a substantial collection run. The table below breaks down what's confirmed from the source material:
Frostfairy Flower vs. other Snezhnaya materials
Unlike materials such as Snowball Flower, which follows the same general spread-across-Snezhnaya pattern, Frostfairy Flower has a particularly useful concentration point north of the Inverted Glacier Domain. Both materials are used for Snezhnaya weapon crafting rather than character ascension, which sets them apart from the materials you'd farm for a new character pull. If you're working through multiple Snezhnaya weapon recipes at once, coordinate your farming runs to hit both material types in a single loop where their spawn areas overlap.
For players also building out new Snezhnaya characters, the full Snezhnaya map locations guide is worth bookmarking alongside this one, since navigating the region efficiently saves a lot of time across multiple farming objectives.
Tips for farming Frostfairy Flower efficiently
- Use the Inverted Glacier Domain teleport as your anchor point. The northern cluster nearby is the single best source on the map.
- Run the four-stop route in the order listed above to avoid unnecessary backtracking across Snezhnaya's terrain.
- If you're farming for both craftable weapons simultaneously, plan for multiple sessions since 120 flowers is a significant amount for a single run.
- Check back on nodes after the standard respawn window if you come up short on your first pass.
Snezhnaya has a lot going on for version 7.0 players, and Frostfairy Flower is just one piece of the material puzzle. If you're also stocking up on ascension and talent materials for new characters dropping this patch, the Genshin Impact guides collection has dedicated farming routes for characters like Lohen and Nicole that pair well with a Snezhnaya farming session.
