You may have come across Dandelion Seeds early in Genshin Impact and forgotten they were there, but these Mondstadt Specialties have two distinct uses: Anemo Impact Potions and character Jean Ascension.
Dandelion Seed is used in the creation of Spouting Essential Oil and Windshield Potion. The former increases the party's Anemo damage by 35% for 300 seconds, and the latter increases the party's Anemo resistance by 35% for 300 seconds. Like all potions in Genshin Impact, you'll probably want to craft and use them at some point.
As for Jean's Ascension, you will need a total of 168 Dandelion Seeds for the full ascent to max level. However, you only need three for the first ascent, which is pretty easy to get your hands on if you know where to look.
Where to get Dandelion Seeds in Genshin Impact
Unlike some other ascension-related plants, your only option for getting your hands on a Dandelion Seed(s) is to search for them.
Dandelions are only found in a few locations in Teyvat, but there are often multiple plants in one location for you to obtain Dandelion Seeds.
Best Places to Find Dandelion Seeds
The easiest place to collect dandelion seeds is just outside Mondstadt, before crossing the bridge when leaving town. Several plants can be found on either side of the road.
I've also marked other places I've found dandelion seeds on the map below, as you'll need a good number of them to fully mount Jean and probably want to make a good amount of essential oil Gushing and Windbarrier potion.
The large circle in the southwest part of the map has the highest concentration of Dandelion Seeds in the game, and it should be where you go if you need them a lot.
Good luck finding these plants! If you found this guide helpful, take a look at some of our other Genshin Impact guides here on GameSkinny, including a guide to the Souvenir Shop and how to complete some of the game's more obtuse quests.
