Crystal Chunks pop back up every 72 hours from outcrops in Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma.

Updated after Dec 9, 2025—resin-free farming all the way. (42 words)
Why Bother Farming Crystal Chunks in Genshin Impact 2026?
Ever stare at your blacksmith screen, short on those Mystic Enhancement Ores? Crystal Chunks are the rare ones—mined from outcrops, tougher to snag than Iron or White Iron Chunks. You'll burn 4 of 'em for one Mystic Enhancement Ore, or just 1 for a Geoculus Resonance Stone, other Resonance Stones, Treasure Compasses, even Crescent Pike.
They respawn every 72 hours, not the quick 24-hour cycle of Iron Chunks. Simple process: smack 'em with a Claymore or Geo attacks, grab the loot, wait it out. Post-AR18, they're key for weapon upgrades and exploration gadgets.
Craft that Mystic Enhancement Ore? Toss in 4 Crystal Chunks plus some basic ores. Pair it with Cor Lapis runs—smart move. Plan routes hitting multiple ores; slot Ningguang to light up veins on your minimap like a boss.
Last tweak: Dec 9, 2025. Stormterror's Lair rules pre-Natlan density. Running low on Primogems for pulls? Grab a cheap Genshin top up from Buffget—global low prices, instant delivery, secure as hell, takes Binance Pay/Bitcoin/ETH/USDT, and users rave about it.
Prime Crystal Chunk Spots and Killer Routes
Stormterror's Lair crushes it post-AR18—beats Stormbearer's Point hands down on density. Don't sleep on Qingce's southwest path, Guyun's Domain west island, Mt. Aozang Cave base, or Lingju Pass west of the Lisha statue. All on that 72-hour respawn; snag White Iron Chunks north of Stormbearer's Point waypoint too.
Quick steps: Fast travel in, scour insides and outsides, Claymore 'em down.
Stormterror's Lair loop? Unlock it after prologue/AR18, mine every outcrop, circle back in 72 hours. Perfect for Mystic Enhancement Ore (4 Chunks) or Geoculus Stone (1 Chunk). Whole thing's a 20-minute sprint: Kick off at Stormbearer's Point NE waypoint (White Iron bonus), weave through Stormterror's Lair, wrap in Qingce southwest.
(Pro tip from this editor: That NE waypoint glide? Saves seconds every time—feels like cheating.)
Smart Farming Tricks and Respawn Real Talk
Claymore wielders or Geo blasts shred nodes quickest. Ningguang's passive? Minimap vein highlighter—game-changer. Run her with a Claymore buddy: Attack, collect, dispatch explorers for Mondstadt/Liyue passive drops. Expeditions pull Crystal Chunks too, thanks to mining passives.
Respawns lock at 72 hours—fixed, unlike 24-hour Iron or 48-hour local specialties. Log your hits, set reminders, bundle with 72-hour Cor Lapis at Mt. Aozang Cave or Lingju Pass.

What to Craft and Efficiency Hacks
Mystic Enhancement Ore demands 4 Crystal Chunks. Geoculus Resonance Stone takes 1; same for Resonance Stones, Treasure Compasses, Crescent Pike. Gather four, blacksmith craft, weapon boost away.
Link spots like Mt. Aozang Cave (Crystal + Cor Lapis), Lingju Pass, Guyun's Domain. Route it: Stormterror's Lair to Mt. Aozang. Parallel expeditions. Track via Adventurer's Handbook. With Ningguang, Stormterror's Lair pumps 2-3x chunks per hour over basics.
Top Characters to Bring on Chunk Hunts
Ningguang owns vein spotting. Claymore users blitz speed. Geo passives shine; Claymores obliterate fastest. Slot her in, high-ATK Claymore, Geo bursts flying. Ideal team: Ningguang + three Claymore tanks. Prioritize Mondstadt/Liyue expedition talents.
Ever wonder why Geo feels mandatory here? It's that raw node-cracking power—no substitutes.
Spot Showdown: Stormterror's Lair vs. the Rest
Stormterror's Lair? Peak density, AR18 gate, max outcrops per run. Data shows it tops charts.
Stormbearer's Point pairs White Iron but yields 50-70% less. Qingce and Guyun? Scattered thin. Mt. Aozang/Lingju? Gold for Cor Lapis synergy.
(Editor's take: Based on my grind sessions and community logs—Stormterror's isn't hype; it's math.)
