Genshin Impact's world introduces yet another intriguing element with the Mysterious Xenochromatic Crystal in the recent 4.2 update. If you've stumbled upon these enigmatic crystals and are wondering about their purpose, you're in the right place. In this guide, we'll delve into the origins of Mysterious Xenochromatic Crystals, how to obtain them, and the lucrative rewards they hold.
Obtaining Mysterious Xenochromatic Crystals
To acquire Mysterious Xenochromatic Crystals, players must face off against two powerful adversaries:
Mageblade Corrouge: After completing the Wild Fairy of Erinnyes quest, players can challenge Mageblade Corrouge in the Erinnyes Forest. This formidable opponent yields one Mysterious Xenochromatic Crystal per day.
The Chassanion: To confront The Chassanion, players must undertake The Search in the Algae Sea quest. Found in the Morte Region, this boss also drops a Mysterious Xenochromatic Crystal once per day.

Where to Use Mysterious Xenochromatic Crystals
Once in possession of these crystals, players can exchange them for a substantial amount of 20,000 Mora each. To make this exchange, players should seek out an NPC named Pitot, the helmsman of the Rusty Rudder. Pitot can be found eastwards from the Foggy Forest Path Teleport Waypoint.
To initiate the exchange, players need to interact with Pitot and select the "About Mysterious Xenochromatic Crystals..." prompt. The exchange is straightforward, with each crystal fetching 20,000 Mora. Additionally, players can repeat this process as the bosses respawn, but it's limited to once a day per crystal.
The benefits don't stop at Mora; exchanging three Mysterious Xenochromatic Crystals with Pitot unlocks the exclusive "A World Yet to Be Disenchanted" achievement.

Important Considerations
Players should note that each boss provides only one crystal per day. If you wish to obtain more, you must sell the existing crystal before challenging the boss again.
The Rusty Rudder's location is crucial for the exchange. Find Pitot east of the Foggy Forest Path Teleport Waypoint.
