Beneath Teyvat’s blue sky, every Portable Bearing hides a path to power-and the route you choose decides which ascension whispers become screams of glory.
Portable Bearing Material Locations in Genshin Impact
Portable Bearing materials can be found across various overworld locations and domains in Genshin Impact. Use your character’s minimap and a thorough route to collect these ascension items efficiently, focusing on nearby chests, puzzles, and hidden caverns that often guard them. Plan your farm route to minimize backtracking and maximize drops per run.
Portable Bearing is one of the main ascension materials for Nod-Krai characters. This item can be found in abundance around places with mechanical workshops on the Lempo Isle. There are five main areas where you can find and collect Portable Gears in Nod-Krai: Nothing Passage, Starsand Shoal, Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop, Blue Amber Lake, and Barrowmoss Barrens.
The fastest way to track all the Portable Bearing materials is by using the Item Tracker, which will mark all the locations for you. However, only three locations are marked each time, preventing you from creating a proper farm route for them. So, if you prefer farm routes, then check the next section below.
Portable Bearing Farming Route in Nod-Krai
Portable Bearing can be collected throughout Nod-Krai, mainly from clockwork automata and mechanical enemies scattered across the region. Begin near the Fortress of Meropide entrance and move toward underwater ruins where Clockwork Meka patrol. Continue north to the desert borders to find additional groups around abandoned camps. Using characters with strong AoE abilities helps defeat mobs faster, maximizing material yield per run. Regular respawn cycles allow repeat farming every 24 hours for consistent ascension material supply.
Portable Bearing is one of the easily obtainable materials in Nod-Krai, but you also need a ton of it to upgrade your characters. So, here is the most optimal farming route for Portable Bearing in Nod-Krai Genshin Impact Luna I.
- Start with Clink-Clank Crumkake Craftshop and look around to find all the Portable Bearings.
- Next, head to Barrowmoss Barrens and find the little workshop location as marked above. Here you will find a couple of Portable Bearings.
- Move further north to Blue Amber Lake, and you will find more Portable Bearings on the Metal Whale Ship here and next to the elevators.
- Next, head to the next teleport point just north of Blue Amber Lake to find another residential area. Here you will find more of the material.
- Finally, head to the area next to the Radiant Moonfly to find more of the Portable Bearings.
You can only collect a set amount of Portable Bearings each day. To farm more, you can either visit a friend’s world or wait for the day to reset.
Which Characters Use Portable Bearing in Genshin Impact
Portable Bearing serves as an ascension material for Aino and Jahoda in Genshin Impact. Aino, a 4-star Nod-Krai character, requires these bearings to advance her levels and talents. Jahoda also depends on them for her ascension phases. No weapons currently use this item.
Portable Bearing is used to ascend Aino, a new 4-star free character in the new Nod-Krai map region in Genshin Impact Luna I. She is an excellent Nod-Krai character support and can be useful in several upcoming teams. Here is the amount of materials you need to ascend her:
| Ascension Level | Portable Bearing Required |
|---|---|
| 20-40 | 3 |
| 40-50 | 10 |
| 50-60 | 20 |
| 60-70 | 30 |
| 70-80 | 45 |
| 80-90 | 60 |
| 1-90 (total) | 168 |
Portable Bearing respawn time and farm routes
Portable Bearings in Genshin Impact respawn exactly 48 hours after collection, aligning with two server resets.
Respawn Mechanics
These materials reset precisely 48 hours from pickup time per item, not a global timer. Relogging or teleporting from a distant waypoint can help verify spawns. Co-op worlds allow extra farming if hosts haven’t collected them.
Efficient Farm Routes
Follow these waypoint-based loops on Lempo Isle in Nod-Krai for all 81 items, repeatable every two days.
-
Route 1 (9 items): Teleport to Northern Training Grounds, drop down west, collect near Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop including a chest with extras.
-
Route 2 (15 items): Southeast Barrowmoss Barrens waypoint, loop cliffs north/south; north has a container with 9 total.
-
Route 3 (28 items): Blue Amber Lake waypoint, circle metal whale ships, campfires, and head northwest via ramps.
-
Route 4 (20+ items): Southwest Nothing Passage, descend chasm, ravines, neon signs toward eastern waypoints.
Full runs yield enough for Aino’s ascension needs after three cycles.
Best farming route to get 168 Portable Bearing fast
Portable Bearings respawn every 48 hours, so farming all ~81 overworld items (plus a one-time chest) three times yields the 168 needed for a character like Aino to reach level 90.
Optimal Fast Route
Start at key waypoints on Lempo Isle in Nod-Krai for a full ~90-item run in under 10 minutes using characters with detection passives (e.g., Aino).
-
Clink-Clank Krumkake Craftshop (9 + 9 chest): Drop west from Northern Training Grounds waypoint; grab 3 on landing, circle shop, open Luxurious Chest for bonus.
-
Barrowmoss Barrens (15): Southeast waypoint; north cliffs (9 from container), south neon signs and dummy (6).
-
Blue Amber Lake (28): West waypoint first (6 SE, 5 elevator, 9+ ramps); east waypoint (5+4 south); NW ramps and ships.
Completion Tips
-
Head NW from Nothing Passage waypoint last (20+ in chasm, ravines, neon platforms).
-
Repeat twice more after 48 hours; join friends’ worlds for extras between resets.
-
Video routes confirm 4-8 minute full clears.
