To unlock the ability to craft the King’s Squire, Sapwood Blade, Moonpiercer, Forest Regalia, and Fruit of Fufillment, you will need to find a special material called ‘Stories of You and the Aranara’. Neither the stories material, nor the ability to exchange them for the Sumeru craftable weapon tales are available as soon as you enter Sumeru, however, so we’ve detailed how to get Sumeru craftable weapons below - along with how to get ‘Stories of You and the Aranara’ in Genshin Impact.
How to get Sumeru craftable weapons in Genshin Impact
To get Sumeru craftable weapons in Genshin Impact, you need to complete ‘The World of Aranara’ part of the ‘Aranyaka Part 2’ World Quest. To unlock Part 1 of the Aranyaka World Quest, go to Sumeru, then travel down the main southern path from Sumeru City. You’ll bump into Rana on the main intersection that leads to Gandharva Ville in the east, and the questline will begin. When you complete ‘The World of Aranara’, follow the new ‘Trees and Dreams’ quest marker and head up through the nearby cave in the northeast of Vanarana to find the Tree of Dreams. To the right of the tree is Aravinay. You can now speak to Aravinay and exchange one ‘Stories of You and the Aranara’ for one Sumeru weapon tale. You can unlock the weapons in any order, so if you really like the look of that Moonpiercer polearm, you can go ahead and spend the one story you currently have on it! There are a total of five ‘Stories of You and the Aranara’ to find - one for every Sumeru craftable weapon you can buy from Aravinay. When you have a weapon’s tale, take it to Ahangar, the blacksmith in Sumeru City and select ‘Learn’ on the tale itself. Ahangar can now make the Sumeru weapon for you if you have the required materials. Genshin Impact version 3.3 is here, with new codes, and new character Scaramouche (Wanderer), so find out where he’s placed on our tier list.
