As a dedicated Genshin Impact player, I know that preparing a new character for their full potential is a journey of its own. Getting Freminet, the skilled diver from Fontaine, ready for battle requires a significant investment of time and resources. The process, while lengthy, is immensely rewarding when you finally see him unleash his full power on the field as a formidable Physical DPS. Based on the latest information from Fontaine's release, I can guide you through exactly what you'll need and how to get it efficiently.

Most of Freminet's required materials are native to the Nation of Justice, meaning your adventure will primarily take place in the beautiful and treacherous lands of Fontaine. A crucial first step is unlocking underwater exploration. Many of the resources you'll need are hidden beneath the waves, so you can't even begin the serious farming until you've progressed through the Archon Quest enough to dive. Thankfully, planning ahead is possible. Since his release, I've found that spreading the farming over several weeks makes the task far less daunting than trying to cram it all into a frantic few days.

The Core Ascension Materials

Let's break down the specific items you'll be hunting for. The first category comes from the unique Fontemer Aberrants, the aquatic lifeforms that inhabit Fontaine's depths. From these creatures, you'll collect:

  • Transoceanic Pearl

  • Transoceanic Chunk

  • Xenochromatic Crystal

These enemies come in all shapes and sizes—seals, crabs, stingrays, and jellyfish—and are scattered generously across the underwater map. Farming them is relatively straightforward, but here's my pro tip: farm way more than you think you need for Ascension. These same materials are also the cornerstone for leveling his Talents later, so a surplus is not a luxury; it's a necessity.

The second major local specialty is the Romaritime Flower. You'll need a staggering 168 of these to get Freminet to level 90. While they can be found on land, the densest clusters are underwater. I recommend finding an efficient farming route and being prepared to run it multiple times over a couple of days, as their respawn timer dictates your pace. The good news? You won't need extras for his Talents, so once you hit 168, you're done.

Now, for the boss material. Freminet requires Artificed Spare Clockwork Component – Coppelius, which drops exclusively from the Icewind Suite world boss. This is where you must pay close attention! The Icewind Suite has two forms, and you must initiate the correct one. To get Coppelius's component, you need to speak with the NPC Maillardet near the arena and select the "Nemesis of Coppelius" challenge. If you accidentally pick "Dirge of Coppelia," you'll get the wrong material. Don't make that costly Resin mistake!

Of course, you'll also need the standard fare: a hefty pile of Mora and the appropriate Shivada Jade gemstones for his Cryo Vision. While gathering these takes time, I've always considered the Ascension phase the cheapest part of building a character. The real resource sink is yet to come.

The Talent Grind: Where the Real Work Begins

This is, without a doubt, the most demanding part of maximizing Freminet. Leveling all three of his talents to 10 is a marathon, not a sprint.

First, remember those Transoceanic materials from the Fontemer Aberrants? You'll need them in truly massive quantities. The numbers are so high that my earlier advice to overfarm during Ascension feels like an understatement. Thankfully, these enemies aren't Resin-gated, so you can farm them to your heart's content whenever you have time.

The real Resin gatekeepers are the Talent books. To empower Freminet's skills, you'll be living in the Admonishing Engraving Domain in Fontaine, farming for:

  1. Teachings of Justice

  2. Guide to Justice

  3. Philosophies of Justice

The sheer volume required means you'll be running this domain dozens of times. With daily Resin limits, this process can easily stretch over weeks. Patience and consistent daily effort are your best allies here.

The final boss material is the Worldspun Fern, dropped by the Guardian of Apep's Oasis in Sumeru. You only need 18, but the drop isn't guaranteed, and you can only claim rewards from this boss once per week. This means you're at the mercy of RNG, and it could take anywhere from a month to two months to collect all the necessary ferns. Plan accordingly and don't get discouraged by a week of unlucky drops!

To summarize the full Talent material list in a clear format:

Material Primary Source Key Notes
Transoceanic Pearl/Chunk/Crystal Fontemer Aberrants (Fontaine underwater) Farm a huge surplus early; no Resin cost.
Teachings/Guide/Philosophies of Justice Admonishing Engraving Domain (Fontaine) Major Resin sink. Requires daily farming over weeks.
Worldspun Fern Guardian of Apep's Oasis (Sumeru) Weekly boss RNG. Start early due to weekly lockout.
Crown of Insight (x3) Limited-Time Events, Offerings Save these precious resources!
Mora (Millions) Ley Line Blossoms, Exploration, Events Always in short supply. Plan to farm Blossoms of Wealth.

The final step, of course, involves committing 3 Crowns of Insight and another mountain of Mora. After all this farming for artifacts with perfect stats, the Talent leveling process often feels like the longest, most Resin-intensive part of building a character. But I can tell you from experience: seeing Freminet's damage numbers skyrocket after crowning his key talents makes every moment spent in those domains and every Worldspun Fern farmed absolutely worth it. He transforms into a powerhouse on the field, capable of leading your team to victory. The grind is real, but the payoff is a master diver ready to conquer any challenge Teyvat throws at him.
