Pre-Farming for Arlecchino: A 2026 Guide Based on Leaked Materials

Well, well, well, look who's decided to grace our screens in Genshin Impact 4.6—it's none other than the formidable Arlecchino! As of 2026, version 4.5 is fresh out of the oven, and the beta leaks for 4.6 are already swirling around like confetti at a Fatui ball. I, for one, have been staring at these material lists with the intensity of a Treasure Hoarder spotting a lone, unguarded Mora. If you're anything like me and planning to welcome the Knave to your roster the second her banner drops, then it's time to roll up our sleeves and start the grind. Let's dive into what the leaks say we'll need, and I'll sprinkle in some of my own... colorful commentary along the way.

Ascension Materials: The Pyramid Scheme of Power-Ups

Leveling Arlecchino from a fledgling agent to a maxed-out powerhouse feels less like a journey and more like building a pyramid where every brick is a different type of Insignia. Here’s the breakdown, level by level, straight from the leaks. Remember, the 'new regular boss drop' and 'weekly boss item' are placeholders for whatever new monstrosity Hoyoverse cooks up for 4.6.

Ascension Level	Key Materials (Per Level)	Mora Cost
20 ➔ 40	Agnidus Agate Sliver x1, Rainbow Rose x3, Recruit's Insignia x3	20,000
40 ➔ 50	Agnidus Agate Fragment x3, New Boss Drop x2, Rainbow Rose x10, Recruit's Insignia x15	40,000
50 ➔ 60	Agnidus Agate Fragment x6, New Boss Drop x4, Rainbow Rose x20, Sergeant's Insignia x12	60,000
60 ➔ 70	Agnidus Agate Chunk x3, New Boss Drop x8, Rainbow Rose x30, Sergeant's Insignia x18	80,000
70 ➔ 80	Agnidus Agate Chunk x6, New Boss Drop x12, Rainbow Rose x45, Lieutenant's Insignia x12	100,000
80 ➔ 90	Agnidus Agate Gemstone x6, New Boss Drop x20, Rainbow Rose x60, Lieutenant's Insignia x24	120,000

Now, let's talk totals. To get her to level 90, you'll need to gather a hoard that would make a dragon jealous:

• Pyro Gemstones: Agnidus Agate Sliver x1, Fragment x9, Chunk x9, Gemstone x6. That's a lot of fiery rocks.

• Rainbow Roses: A whopping 168 of these Fontaine beauties. Good thing there are 81 spawns per world! Time to visit friends' worlds and pluck their gardens like a polite floral burglar. 🌹

• Fatui Insignias: This is where the real grind begins. You'll need:

• Recruit's Insignia: 36

• Sergeant's Insignia: 96

• Lieutenant's Insignia: 129

Preparing for Arlecchino by farming these feels like collecting employee badges from a company you're about to burn down—it's ironic, tedious, and somehow fitting.

• Boss Drops: 46 of the new regular boss item and 18 of the new weekly boss item. Get ready to make a new best friend (who you'll pummel weekly).

Talent Materials: The Paperwork of Power

If ascending her is building the pyramid, leveling her talents is doing all the interior decorating and filing the permits. The required books are 'Teachings/Guide/Philosophies of Order,' which is just perfect for the head of the House of the Hearth. I can just imagine her making us fill out forms in triplicate before she'll throw a punch.

Here's the cost to take a single talent from level 1 to the glorious crown-requiring level 10:

Talent Level-Up Roadmap (Per Talent):

1. Lv. 2: Teachings of Order x3, Recruit's Insignia x6 | 12,500 Mora

2. Lv. 3: Guide to Order x2, Sergeant's Insignia x3 | 17,500 Mora

3. Lv. 4: Guide to Order x4, Sergeant's Insignia x4 | 25,000 Mora

4. Lv. 5: Guide to Order x6, Sergeant's Insignia x6 | 30,000 Mora

5. Lv. 6: Guide to Order x9, Sergeant's Insignia x9 | 37,500 Mora

6. Lv. 7: Philosophies of Order x4, Lieutenant's Insignia x4, Weekly Boss Drop x1 | 120,000 Mora (The cost jump here is steeper than the cliffs in Liyue!)

7. Lv. 8: Philosophies of Order x6, Lieutenant's Insignia x6, Weekly Boss Drop x1 | 260,000 Mora

8. Lv. 9: Philosophies of Order x12, Lieutenant's Insignia x9, Weekly Boss Drop x2 | 450,000 Mora

9. Lv. 10: Philosophies of Order x16, Lieutenant's Insignia x12, Weekly Boss Drop x2, Crown of Insight x1 | 700,000 Mora

Now, multiply all of that by three for her Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst. The total shopping list for a triple-crowned Arlecchino is enough to make your Resin weep:

• Crown of Insight x3 (The rarest bling in Teyvat).

• Teachings of Order x9, Guide to Order x63, Philosophies of Order x114.

• Insignias: Recruit's x18, Sergeant's x66, Lieutenant's x93.

• Weekly Boss Drops x18.

• And the pièce de résistance... Mora: 4,957,500.

Farming this Mora pile is like trying to fill a bottomless cup with a teaspoon during a sandstorm—futile and slightly maddening.

Farming Locations: Your 2026 Treasure Map

So, where do we get all this stuff? Let's break it down:

• Rainbow Roses: Fontaine is your spot. 81 nodes per world. Mark your map and make a daily route. It's a scenic grind, at least!

• Fatui Insignias: Time to hunt down every Fatui Skirmisher from Mondstadt to Snezhnaya. They won't be too happy to see you, especially since you're farming their buddies' badges for their future boss.

• Books of Order: Head to the Pale Forgotten Glory Domain in Fontaine. It's open on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Set those calendar reminders!

• Agnidus Agate: Your friendly neighborhood Pyro bosses have you covered: Pyro Regisvine, Pyro Hypostasis, and others. Bring a Hydro or Cryo friend.

• New Boss Items: This is the wild card. We'll have to wait for 4.6 to drop to see what new creature we'll be farming. The leaks suggest both a new regular world boss and a new weekly trounce domain.

Final Thoughts & Pre-Farming Strategy

As of early 2026, here’s my personal pre-farming plan, laid out as neatly as one of Arlecchino's probable assassination dossiers:

1. Priority 1: The Guaranteed Grind

   • Farm ALL 168 Rainbow Roses now. This is the easiest, most predictable part.

   • Grind Fatui Skirmishers daily for Insignias. You can never have enough. Stockpiling these is like collecting spare keys for a lock that hasn't been made yet.

   • Live in the Pale Forgotten Glory Domain on its open days. Stock up on every color of Order book you can.

   • Battle every Pyro boss you can find to build your Agate stockpile.

2. Priority 2: Resource Management

   • Start saving your Fragile Resin for the new 4.6 bosses. You'll want to unlock and farm them immediately.

   • Do your weekly boss runs and start saving those Dream Solvent items, as you'll likely need them to convert the new weekly boss drops.

   • MORA, MORA, MORA! Start doing your leylines, selling artifacts, anything. That 5-million Mora bill is no joke.

3. Mindset Preparation

   • Accept that this process will be a marathon, not a sprint. Farming for a character like Arlecchino is as intricate and demanding as tuning a grand piano in the middle of a thunderstorm—it requires patience, precision, and a tolerance for chaos.

   • Remember, these are leaks. Things could change. But farming the generic materials (Insignias, Roses, Books, generic Agates) is almost always a safe bet.

Getting Arlecchino day-one and maxing her out will be a testament to our dedication (or our lack of a social life). But seeing her animations and unleashing her full power will be worth every single Recruit's Insignia. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have about 127 more Fatui to hunt down. Happy farming, future Knave mains! 🃏⚔️
