After you’ve been playing with a character for a certain amount of time, you’ll hit a wall where the character and its weapons cannot increase in level or stats. Ascension allows you to continue a character or weapon’s progress by unlocking one of their talents or passive skill.
Characters and weapons can only ascend if the right materials and requirements are met. You will not be able to make it into the high-level dungeons unless you take the time to ascend your characters and weapons.

You will need to have reached a specific Adventure Rank, capped at your current rank’s max level, and have the required materials in order to ascend weapons. Ascension levels are as follows:
| Max Level | Adventure Rank |
|---|---|
| Level 20 | Default |
| Level 40 | Rank 15 |
| Level 50 | Rank 25 |
| Above Level 50 | TBA |
Continue to level up your weapons until they reach a level cap. Once that happens, if you have the proper materials on hand and have reached the next required Adventure Rank, you’ll be able to Ascend your weapon and continue leveling it up.
How to get Ascension Materials

There are five different ways to acquire Ascension Materials and you’ll need to participate in all five methods to ascend your characters and weapons.
- Souvenir Shops: Go to a shop with a Diamond symbol and exchange Ascension Materials for Anemo Sigils or Geo Sigils. These sigils are commonly found in treasure chests.
- Boss Fights: Some of the items you need can only be acquired after beating bosses. You can always go into your menu and check the Adventurer Handbook to see what items a boss drops upon defeat.
- Mining and Collecting: Run around the map collecting items and mining everything you see. It’s easiest to mine from stones using explosives or a claymore.
- Alchemy and Crafting: Interact with the Crafting Bench or an Alchemy table to obtain rare items.
- Traveling Merchants and Botanists: You’ll likely come across traveling NPCs on your journey. You’ll often find these mobile marketers selling Ascension Materials.
