How to get Horsetail in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact has a ton of different plants which you can collect in the game, used for various purposes such as ingredients in cooking or materials for character ascension.

What are Horsetails used for in Genshin Impact?

Horsetails are a rare item found only in Liyue and are used in just a few recipes. While they are more recently used as ingredients in events such as Spices of the West, you’ll mostly be incorporating these items as ingredients while making food in the game.

Otherwise, you won’t find much use for Horsetails in Genshin Impact aside from the few recipes they are used in. However, one of these recipes is also used for fishing. Avid fishers in the game would find it helpful to regularly farm Horsetails as a part of their daily routine. Additionally, the other two items are useful to carry around for exploration, further increasing the viability of carrying these items around.

Once you exhaust yourself of Horsetails in your realm, don’t forget that you can wait a few days for them to reappear. Collectible items in the overworld will refresh every few days, so you’ll be able to return to your regular farming route once some time passes. That’s all you need to know about farming Horsetails in Genshin Impact! Collect as many of these as you can for your fishing and eating needs.
