There is no shortage of items to collect in the world of Genshin Impact. Many items can be grabbed as players run by while others need a bit of searching and careful gathering to farm the materials which holds true for Electro Crystals.
Electro Crystals are purple crystals that gather electricity from the air around them. If players get too close to one, they will receive electro damage for a period of time. Due to their nature, players will need to be careful when collecting the Electro Crystals to avoid taking as much damage as possible. These crystals can be found all over Teyvat, making them an easy resource to locate.
