Where to Use Snezhnayan Materials

While certain materials like Frostfairy Flowers and Flockingweed are used for ascending characters Odette and Alyosha, here is how you can use the other plants, ores, and insects.

Unlocking Blacksmith Diagrams

Since we've landed in a new region, one of the most important items to unlock is going to be the selection of weapons available at the Blacksmith. The Snezhnayan Blacksmith is located in the city of Snezhnograd, south of Katheryne's Adventure Guild Stall. Here, you trade in Regional Materials for the Diagrams or Blueprints for a new selection of weapons that are released alongside new nations.

These weapons typically work as great free-to-play weapons for the characters in this area, aligning with the battle mechanics that are introduced: Fontaine's weapons had Bond of Life and had special animations for Ousia and Pneuma. Snezhnayan weapons are the first few weapons alongside the new Five Star Weapons that'll have special Stellar Glimmer Reaction passives for Snezhnaya's new techniques.

Below are all of the Snezhnaya Regional Weapons and the Materials you'll need to trade in for the Weapon Diagrams.

Cooking Pot Recipes

The next best place to use your newfound ingredients is at a Cooking Pot! There are a few Cooking Pots around Snezhnaya, namely at the Podvorye Restaurant and at the Zolnyy Drinks Stall in Snezhnograd. You can find the occasional firepit when out in the wild, around campsites of both enemies and NPCs.

You can unlock new Snezhnayan Recipes both at the Podvorye Restaurant and at another vendor in Rankova Zorya after a series of quests. Other recipes must be found in chests around Snezhnaya. Below are all of the recipes you can find in Snezhnaya, where to find them, and how to cook them!
