As a dedicated Traveler who has spent countless hours exploring Teyvat since 2020, I've learned that true power for your characters often lies in the grind. I remember the early days, struggling to boost Amber's charged shots or feeling like Barbara's healing wasn't quite enough. The answer, more often than not, was locked behind talent levels, and for a significant roster of my favorite characters, that meant one thing: the elusive Freedom talent books. For characters like the classic Amber, the explosive Klee, the strategic Tartaglia, and even the ever-versatile Traveler, these books—Teachings, Guides, and Philosophies of Freedom—are the key to unlocking their full potential. Let me take you through my personal journey and the strategies I've perfected over the years to farm these essential items efficiently.

My weekly pilgrimage, especially on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays, always leads me south of Mondstadt, to the Springvale region. There, shrouded in a perpetual chill, lies the Domain of Mastery: Frosted Altar, also known to veterans like myself as the Forsaken Rift. It's a place I've come to know intimately. Unlocking it is straightforward—just reach Adventure Rank 27—but conquering it efficiently is an art form. The domain imposes two brutal environmental hazards: Condensed Ice, which drains your stamina at an alarming rate, and deadly icicles that crash down from above. The first time I ventured in, I was constantly out of stamina, unable to dodge or use charged attacks, and getting pummeled by falling ice. I learned the hard way that conservation is key.

My strategy evolved into a precise dance. I keep my eyes glued to the floor for those tell-tale red circles that signal an incoming icicle. The moment I see one, I dash once—not twice—to get clear. Stamina management is everything here. Over the years, my go-to team composition has been refined for maximum efficiency against the Cryo slimes and mages that populate the domain:

⚡ Pyro & Electro are Non-Negotiable: These elements are your best friends here for breaking Cryo shields and dealing massive damage.

🔥 My Trusted Team Blueprint:

• Bennett: He's the cornerstone. His attack buff from his burst is incredible, and his healing field lets me stand my ground without worrying about chip damage.

• Xiangling: Her Pyronado doesn't care about stamina. It spins and melts enemies while I focus on positioning.

• Fischl: Oz provides relentless off-field Electro application, triggering Superconduct (which isn't useful here) but more importantly, Overload reactions with Pyro for extra damage.

• A Flexible Main DPS: This slot is for my talent-book beneficiary! Whether it's Tartaglia, Klee, or even the Anemo Traveler, they get to reap the rewards directly.

The real game-changer in my farming routine, however, wasn't just the team—it was Condensed Resin. Early on, I was burning 20 Original Resin per run for random rewards. Now, I never enter the Forsaken Rift without at least a few bottles of this condensed energy in my bag. Crafted at any Alchemy Crafting Booth in Mondstadt, Liyue, or Sumeru City, each one costs 40 Original Resin and 1 Crystal Core. Using Condensed Resin doubles the rewards from a single domain challenge. This means that on a Sunday (when all talent books are available), I can use saved Condensed Resin to effectively run the domain 9 times or more in one sitting, yielding a mountain of books. I make it a habit to farm Crystalflies daily—the statues at Dawn Winery and near Liyue's teleport points are my favorite spots—so I'm never short on cores.

Of course, to craft Condensed Resin, you need a steady supply of Original Resin. My daily ritual is sacred: complete the four Daily Commissions (for 60 Primogems and Adventure EXP), claim the reward from Katheryne, and ensure I use up at least 150 Original Resin to fulfill the Battle Pass objective. When my resin runs dry and I'm in a farming frenzy, I dip into my stash of Fragile Resin. I've learned to be strategic with these precious items. The most reliable sources in 2025 are still:

• Battle Pass Rewards: Leveling up the BP is a consistent source.

• Adventure Rank Milestones: You receive them at AR 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45.

• Event Rewards: Hoyoverse often includes them as login or challenge rewards during major updates.

I used to hoard them, but now I use them purposefully, usually when I'm just a few Philosophies away from crowning a talent before a big Spiral Abyss reset.

The final piece of the puzzle is conversion. You will inevitably end up with a surplus of lower-tier Teachings of Freedom. This is where the Alchemy Crafting Booth becomes your best friend again. Don't see those extra greens as junk; see them as future gold. The alchemy system allows you to ascend your hard-earned books:

• 3x Teachings of Freedom → 1x Guide to Freedom

• 3x Guide to Freedom → 1x Philosophies of Freedom

I maintain a simple conversion table in my travel notes to track my inventory:

Have	Convert To	Cost
9+ Teachings	Philosophies	27 Teachings, 3 Guides
Excess Guides	Philosophies	3 Guides per 1 Philosophy

This system is crucial for late-game investment. Getting a talent from level 9 to the crowned level 10 requires 3 Philosophies of Freedom. By efficiently farming and converting, I've managed to crown talents for Klee, Tartaglia, and Barbara without it feeling like an endless slog.

Looking back, the journey to farm Freedom books taught me more than just a domain strategy. It taught me resource management, patience, and the satisfying payoff of seeing a character's ability finally hit for those massive, screen-clearing numbers. Whether you're building the free-spirited Aloy or perfecting Sucrose's crowd control, the path leads through the frosty halls of the Forsaken Rift. Plan your days, master the stamina game, embrace Condensed Resin, and never let a Teaching go to waste. Happy farming, fellow Traveler! 🎮✨
