Gemstones - Where to Find Shivada Jade
You can acquire ascension gems through various means such as daily commissions and event rewards, but defeating bosses is the primary source for obtaining them. The bosses that have a chance to drop Shivada Jade are as follows:
- Cryo Regisvine
Cryo Hypostasis
Coral Defenders
Maguu Kenki
Perpetual Mechanical Array
Primo Geovishap*
Aeonblight Drake
Iniquitous Baptist
Icewind Suite (Coppelius)
Andrius (The Wolf of the North Challenge)
Childe (Enter the Golden House)
Azhdaha (Beneath the Dragon Queller)*
La Signora (Narukami Island: Tenshukaku)
*Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap can only drop Shivada Jade when they're aligned with Cryo.
Enemy Drop - Where to Find Clockwork Meka Gears
Clockwork Meka can be encountered in various forms throughout Fontaine. Players must defeat multiple instances of these Meka in order to progress with Charlotte. A comprehensive guide detailing their locations can be accessed through this link.
As the players reach higher levels, the Meka have a chance to drop increasingly superior items.
Any level: Meshing Gear
Level 40+: Mechanical Spur Gear
Level 60+: Artificed Dynamic Gear
Boss Drop - How to Get "Tourbillon Device"
The Experimental Field Generator, a bigger variant of Clockwork Meka, drops an amplified version of a Clockwork Meka gear called the "Tourbillon Device." Charlotte employs this device during her ascension.
You can encounter this boss in the Fontaine Research Institute ruins. Remember to have a character aligned with Pneuma, as this boss utilizes Ousia to unleash formidable attacks. For a complete guide, refer to the following:
Local Specialty - Beryl Conch Locations
Beryl Conches are dotted around Fontaine and are the local specialty used for Charlotte's ascension. They're found underwater, so players will need to dive for them.
However, in addition to obtaining them elsewhere, some vendors offer them for sale. The fishmonger named Hinterman, located near Poisson, sells five of these items every three days for the price of 1,000 Mora. Xana, known as the Melusine, also sells a bundle of ten of these items, but they can only be purchased all at once, and the cost is only 1 Strange Part. It is important to note that Xana is only accessible as a vendor upon completing the Ancient Colors World Quest series.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I am excited about the release of Charlotte, the first playable Fontainian character in Genshin Impact. Her unique design and Cryo Vision make her a highly anticipated addition to the game. I am eager to learn more about her story and how she fits into the overall narrative of Genshin Impact.
The materials required for Charlotte's ascension and talent upgrades seem challenging to obtain, but I am determined to collect them all. I am particularly interested in exploring the new Fontaine region and discovering the secrets it holds. I believe that Charlotte will be a powerful and versatile character, and I can't wait to add her to my team.
