Genshin Impact, like every good RPG, places great importance on world exploration and interacting with the environment to collect items that will be useful in player progression.
There are several types of materials in Genshin Impact - but in this article, we'll review the Local Specialties from Mondsatdt and how you can use them for some nice benefits.
Local Specialties
Picking up objects from nature in Genshin Impact gives players materials for food preparation, crafts materials for gadgets and weapons, and most importantly, level-up characters to increase their strength.
Teyvat, the fictional world in which Genshin Lore takes place, is divided into nations representing a deity and an element.
Like in the real world, certain species of plants, animals, and minerals are endemic to a particular region. These are called Local Specialties.

Where to Buy Mondstadt Local Specialties
In Mondstadt, two little girls will provide players with a constant supply of Local Specialties.
At the main Entrance of Mondstadt city, you can NPC Flora behind a flower stand. Flora sells Sweet Flower, Windwheel Aster, Cecilia, Small Lamp Grass, and Calla Lily.
Cloris, the older sister of Flora, is a wandering character that players find walking on the road of Windrise. Chloris sells Philameno Mushroom, Valberry, and Wolfhook.
Curiously the only place where players can buy Dandelion Seed is in the establishment Sailing Breeze, owned by NPC Karpillia in Inazuma. But they are costly, so watch your wallet!
