Imagine having a powerful new ally on your team — but preparing for their arrival involves a deep dive into a mountain of resources and materials. That's exactly what awaits players with the upcoming release of Iluga in Genshin Impact. But here's where it gets controversial: securing all of Iluga’s materials can be quite the challenge, especially for beginners or those with limited time. And this is the part most people miss — knowing precisely where and how to farm these items can make or break your build.
Iluga, a 4-star character introduced in Genshin Impact Luna IV, is set to be a Geo element off-field sub-DPS and support. What's particularly exciting is the expectation that he will serve as a Lightkeeper within the game’s lore, becoming only the second playable character from this faction following Flins. If your goal is to add Iluga to your roster during Luna IV, preparation is key — start gathering his materials early, so you're ready when he's available. Here’s a comprehensive overview of all the necessary materials for his ascension and talents.

How to Efficiently Farm Iluga’s Materials in Genshin Impact
1. Pine Amber
This newly introduced resource can only be farmed within the Luna IV map. If you're eager to prepare early, consider farming other materials beforehand.
2. Drive Shaft Materials Group
The Drive Shaft components are dropped by Landcruisers, formidable enemies found mainly in Nod-Krai, especially in zones dense with Automatons. Use the Enemy section in the Adventurer’s Guide to locate and defeat Landcruisers efficiently.
3. Books of Elysium
These can be farmed from the Lightless Capital Domain located on Lempo Isle. The domain is accessible for farming on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
4. Cyclic Military Kuuvahki Core
This rare item drops from the boss Super-Heavy Landrover: Mechanized Fortress, found within the Kuuvahki Experimental Design Bureau. Prepare for a challenging fight!
5. Eroded Horn
Eroded Horn is obtained by defeating the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire, a boss that resides within the Natlan domain. It’s a tough encounter but essential for Iluga’s progression.
In summary, most of Iluga’s materials can be farmed within Nod-Krai, making it convenient for players focusing on this region. Whether you're aiming to build him right away or just preparing for his eventual release, starting your resource collection now is a smart move.
