Garden of Plenty Event and Exchange New Materials
Good news! During the Garden of Plenty event, we can farm double materials for Yao Guang, since these mats can be exchanged for Elation materials at a 1:1 ratio.

Farming Priorities for Yao Guang
With limited Trailblaze Power, efficiency is key.
Your top priority should be Invasive Clot, as it can already be farmed from Stagnant Shadow in the current version.
Second, prioritize farming Trace materials in the double Calyx drop event, they can be converted into Elation mats 1:1.
At the same time, make sure to stockpile Credits and Tracks of Destiny, since these are universal resources that are always in high demand and never go to waste.
