Ah, mint. That unassuming green herb that suddenly becomes more precious than Zhongli’s geo constructs when events like Marvelous Merchandise roll around. Let me tell you, fellow Travelers – I’ve seen grown adults cry over pixelated peppermint leaves. Here’s my survival guide from countless mint-gathering misadventures across Teyvat.

🍃 The Great Mint Heist: Acquisition Strategies

1. Open World Harvesting (AKA Nature’s Slot Machine)

  • Mondstadt’s rolling hills hide more mint than Venti’s tavern tab

  • Pro tip: If a mint plant starts talking, RUN. Those Whopperflower imposters have ended more farming runs than I’d like to admit 💀

  • My personal route: Windrise → Stormbearer Mountains → Asase Shrine (bonus: beautiful views while you farm!)

2. Chloris’ Questionable Business Practices

  • This wandering merchant sells mint at 150 Mora apiece – that’s 1.5x the price of suspicious steak!

  • Her stock refreshes every 3 days, which feels longer than waiting for a Tsaritsa story quest

  • Pro tip: Bring Kazuha for maximum leaf-related dialogue options 🍁

3. Serenitea Pot Gardening (For Patient Souls)

  • Requires unlocking the ’I’ve Become a Farmer in Another World’ achievement

  • Growth time: 2 days 22 hours – perfect for forgetting you planted anything

  • My gardening playlist: 3 hours of bamboo forest ambiance (helps the mint grow 0.3% faster)

🍳 When Life Gives You Mint...

This versatile herb isn’t just for event panic:

  1. Culinary Chaos

  2. Makes everything taste “refreshing” (developer code for “we needed another ingredient”)

  3. My minty meat rolls once revived a dead Seelie (citation needed)

  4. Crafting Catastrophes

  5. Required for blue dye – because teapots need aesthetic crisis management

  6. 10 mint = 1 dye. That’s 1,500 Mora worth of Chloris’ markup for a single color!

  7. Event Emergency

  8. Marvelous Merchandise turns mint into Primogems faster than Paimon empties your ingredient bag

  9. Secret strat: Stockpile 200+ before events. Your future self will send thank-you letters via Wind Glider

Final Thoughts from a Mint Magnate

After 3,000+ mint gathered (and several Whopperflower-related therapy sessions), I’ve learned:

  • Mondstadt’s ecosystem runs on mint

  • Gardening teaches patience... and how to time travel via server reset

  • Every Primogem earned through mint feels 17% more satisfying

Will you become Teyvat’s next mint mogul, or wait for the inevitable ‘Mint Impact’ spin-off game? The fields are calling, Travelers – just watch out for those sneaky flora-foes! 🍃⚔️
