Genshin Impact: Where to farm Energy Nectar, Shimmering Nectar

Fighting a Whopperflower for Energy Nectar in Genshin Impact

Shimmering and Energy Nectar are materials used by characters such as Ganyu or Hu Tao in Genshin Impact, so here’s where to farm them.

Where to farm Energy and Shimmering Nectar in Genshin Impact

As you might well be familiar with by now, Nectar, both Energy and Shimmering, drops from Whopperflowers in Genshin Impact. This is a bit of a problem, as Whopperflowers tend to be scattered all around the world and are rarely found in groups, making passively farming the item a particular annoyance.

There are a few things we can do to speed up farming Shimmering and Energy nectar though, fortunately for all of us Genshin Impact players.

The first involves the adventurer’s menu – hit F1 to bring it up on PC.

You’ll get a screen like this at first. This is not what we are here for, however – from here, click on the enemies tab at the left of the book.

Scroll down until you find Whopperflowers, as shown above. From here, click navigate, and the map will highlight Whopperflowers for you.

As mentioned, a Whopperflower is now highlighted on the map. Teleport nearby to it, kill it and collect the drops, then check your map again – the navigate to enemy system should automatically highlight another Whopperflower for you immediately until your world runs out of them, so this is a good way to build some Nectar up on a daily basis that doesn’t take that much effort, provided you’re capable of killing Whopperflowers easily.

Be aware that the F1 menus navigate to enemy system doesn’t work on burrowed flower Whopperflowers, so adding map markers to those for yourself can make it easier to farm more of them – the book will only indicate the location of surfaced Whopperflowers that are in plain sight, so doesn’t expect it to make them completely extinct in your world that easily.

If you can’t find enough Whopperflowers to build up Nectar using that method alone, remember that you can make use of the Alchemy system to combine three lower-tier Nectar into an upper-tier one, which is a system you should absolutely take advantage of if you need the material for character talents and Ascensions.
