*It’s important to note that the Primo Geovishap only drops elemental stones that match its infused element (except Prithiva Topaz, which it can always drop).

This means that the Primo Geovishap needs to be infused with Hydro when defeated in order for Varunada Lazurite to be among the possible rewards.

Trounce Domains That Varunada Lazurite in Genshin Impact

Similar to how there are three standard bosses that can reward Varunada Lazurite, there are some weekly trounce bosses that can drop it:

(Beneath the Dragon-Queller)

(Enter the Golden House)

(Shadow of Another World)

The King and Queen

(The Game Before the Gate)

Of course, Original Resin is needed to obtain their rewards, too. Also, the higher the level of the trounce domain, the better the gem drops can be:

Domain levels

III, IV

*Similar to the Primo Geovishap, Azhdaha must infuse the corresponding element to reward that element’s gem (other than Prithiva Topaz, which is always possible). He’ll need to be infusing Hydro as one of his two elements per fight to drop Varunada Lazurite.

Azhdaha’s infused elements rotate weekly, and each week, they can be seen on the door to his domain before entering.

Other Ways to Get Varunada Lazurite in Genshin Impact

There are a handful of methods for finding Varunada Lazurite that aren’t quite as farmable or profitable in terms of the quantity of rewarded gems.

Daily Commissions

Every day, players can receive four commissions from theAdventurers' Guild. Once all four have been completed, they can head over to Katheryne at the Adventurers' Guild (any branch) and obtain a bonus set of rewards, amongst which can be Slivers of elemental gems.

Which element’s gems are rewarded is random, but it can be Varunada Lazurite.

Crafting

Every element’s respective gem can becraftedup into higher qualities from the lower qualities. This allows players to essentially upgrade the quality of their gems, though it takes three of one quality to obtain a single gem of a higher quality, as seen here:

300

=

1x Fragment

900

1x Chunk

2,700

1x Gemstone

This will require a crafting bench, which can be found in various places, including the major city of each region.

Conversion

Crafting benches can also be used for conversion — transforming one item into another. Elemental gems are able to be converted into another element’s gems with someDust of Azoth, which can be purchased from Paimon’s Bargains. It costs 5 Stardust for 10 jars of this dust.

Varunada Lazurite can be created from Vayuda Turquoise, Agnidus Agate, Nagadus Emerald, Vajrada Amethyst, Shivada Jade, or Prithiva Topaz.

Souvenir Shops

In Mondstadt and Liyue Harbor, the player can find souvenir shops, titled With Wind Comes Glory and Mingxing Jewelry, respectively. These souvenir shops sell a limited quantity of elemental gem Slivers, and they only accept sigils as payment.

Marjorie runsWith Wind Comes Glory,selling six of each elemental gem’s Slivers for 10Anemo Sigilseach.

Xingxi is the operator ofMingxing Jewelry. She also sells elemental gem Slivers for 10 sigils each, though this time it’sGeo Sigilsthat are accepted. Additionally, she stocks 12 of each elemental Sliver.

Once the player purchases the stock of Slivers at each shop, they will not restock, meaning this is a limited option.

Parametric Transformer

TheParametric Transformeris a strange device that can convert materials into other items, including elemental gems. By inputting certain materials, “sets” of items can be created, including a “set” of one elemental Sliver, or a “set” of two elemental Fragments. Which element is obtained is random, meaning this is also not the most reliable method for farming Varunada Lazurite or any other gem. However, multiple “sets” of the same type can be received, meaning the player can receive multiple sets of Slivers or Fragments.

Certain materials inputted as fuel will increase the likelihood of receiving different items, but there’s no direct guarantee. It has been found that the following “fuel” types are more likely to result in elemental gems:

Electro Crystal

Event Rewards

The final way to find elemental gems is to participate intime-limited events. Most events feature a reward shop or direct rewards for completing certain challenges within the time period.

Often, these event rewards can include limited quantities of elemental gems.
