If you want to level Hu Tao up and help her reach her maximum potential, you'll need to acquire the right materials for both her Ascension and her Talents. Here's what you'll need.

Leveling Materials

Like every character, Hu Tao requires a total of 8,362,650 EXP to reach level 90. This table shows a possible combination of EXP materials and Mora that will add up to enough to level Hu Tao to 90. There will be a bit of extra EXP that will be wasted, but that's difficult to avoid.

Hu Tao's Ascension Cost and Item Locations

At certain levels, Hu Tao will need to be ascended in order to level further. In order to ascend her, you'll need the right gems and items, as well as a bit of Mora. The gemstone required for Hu Tao's ascension is Agnidus Agate, because she has a Pyro Vision. These can be obtained by defeating the Pyro Hypostasis, Pyro Regisvine, and others.

Here are the gemstones you'll need in total from level 1 to the final ascension at level 80:

Every character uses a certain enemy drop to ascend. Hu Tao's are the different types of nectar dropped by Whopperflowers. You'll also need some Juvenile Jade, which is a item dropped by the Primo Geovishap. Check out our guide for help with this boss fight. Silk Flowers are Hu Tao's ascension plant, and of course you'll need some Mora. Here's what you need in total:

Whopperflowers are found basically everywhere, so you shouldn't have too much trouble farming the nectar. They can often be found "disguised" as a plant and will jump out to attack you when you pick said plant. Those that aren't hidden in this manner can be tracked by selecting them in the Adventurer Handbook.

The Silk Flowers will only spawn in Liyue, but you can grow them in your Serenitea Pot. They're mainly found around Liyue Harbor, specifically near Yujing Terrace. There are a few Silk Flower plants that grow outside of Wangshu Inn, as well. You can also purchase them from Ms. Bai in Qingce Village or Verr Goldet at the Wangshu Inn.

Hu Tao's Talent Materials

Leveling up Hu Tao's talents requires some items and a ton of Mora. To reach level 15 in all of her talents, you'll need to obtain her Stella Fortuna and unlock up to level five in her constellation.

Here's what you'll to spend in terms of items and Mora:

The talent books, Teachings of Diligence, Guide to Diligence, and Philosophies of Diligence, can be obtained by clearing the Taishan Mansion trials on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

The Shards of a Foul Legacy are one of the item drops from Childe's weekly boss fight when you defeat him on level 70 or higher.

Finally, Crowns of Insight are very rare items that can be obtained during certain events, though you can obtain some by making offerings to the Frostbearing Tree and Sacred Sakura.
