I landed in Teplo Oasis just after dawn, my inventory thin and Valeriy’s ascension looming. The yellow fern I needed wasn’t where my map hinted, like a yellowed bookmark tucked between pages. I rewired my route into a five-minute loop so you don’t waste an evening hunting.
All Fairy Wormwood Locations in Genshin Impact
On the world map, Snezhnaya’s east looks sparse compared with other regions.
I’ll be blunt: Fairy Wormwood is a local specialty that only grows in Snezhnaya. It appears as a small yellowish fern and the fastest concentration I’ve found is in Teplo Oasis, east across the snowy plains. Head to the southwest side of the oasis—there are repeatable clusters where you can clear several plants in one sweep.

Where can I find Fairy Wormwood?
Start at Teplo Oasis and sweep the southwest edge. If you want more locations without memorizing coordinates, open Genshin Impact’s Item Tracker (Hoyoverse added this utility) and click the Fairy Wormwood entry. Select Go to Collect under Sources and the map will pin blue rings where that plant spawns.
If you have explorers with passive gather perks—Alyosha or Odette—they speed the process. I run one of them plus a fast-travel point and clear two or three clusters in under five minutes.

You can also obtain Fairy Wormwood by completing the Valeriy Test Run event—Hoyoverse included the material among the rewards since it’s required for his ascension—so if you haven’t tried the trial, it’s a free source.
Genshin Impact Fairy Wormwood Reset Time
In the world of resource runs, timers are the thing you watch like a stove when dinner is almost ready.
Fairy Wormwood respawns exactly 48 hours after you pick it up. That’s two full days in real time, tracked from the moment you collect the plant. If you need more immediately, you can join a friend’s world and farm their spawns—but remember: taking those plants removes them from their map too.
What is the respawn time for Fairy Wormwood?
It’s 48 hours. Keep a simple rota: farm Teplo Oasis, check the Item Tracker to mark blue rings, then come back two days later. The Item Tracker becomes a small lighthouse when you lose your way and is worth using every run.

If you want a clean routine: mark Teplo Oasis on your map, use the Item Tracker to reveal blue spawn circles, bring an explorer with a gather passive, and clear clusters clockwise so you always end near a teleport waypoint. I run that loop between daily commissions and it keeps Valeriy’s ascension materials stacking without drama.
Got a farming trick I missed or a better spawn cluster to share—what’s your go-to route?
