Other Ways to Get Nagadus Emerald in Genshin Impact
There are some additional methods for earning Nagadus Emerald other than fighting bosses, though these aren’t always as reliable.
Daily Commissions
Each day, the player receivesfour daily commissions from the Adventurers' Guild. After completing all four, they can head over to any branch and receive some bonuses from Katheryne.
Among these rewards are typically some elemental gem Slivers. Unfortunately, which ones they are is random, and they’re only Slivers, the lowest quality. But, players should typically complete their daily commissions for the Primogems, anyway, so the elemental Slivers are a free bonus.
Crafting
By heading over to and using acrafting bench, players can upgrade lower-quality gems into higher quality levels. This works at a 3:1 ratio, as follows:
+
300
=
1x Fragment
900
1x Chunk
2,700
1x Gemstone
Conversion
Alongside crafting lower-level gems into better qualities, a crafting bench can also be used to convert one element’s gems into another. To do this, the player needs someDust of Azoth,which can be purchased from Paimon’s Bargains.
This is how much Dust of Azoth is needed to convert each level of gem from one element to another:
Gem level
Dust of Azoth required
9
Gemstone
27
Nagadus Emerald can be created from Varunada Lazurite, Vajrada Amethyst, Vayuda Turquoise, Shivada Jade, Prithiva Topaz, or Agnidus Agate.
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.
