☛ How to Get Sprayfeather Gill?
Sprayfeather Gill is Mualani's Natlan Local Specialty. It can be collected primarily around Ameyalco Waters and the surrounding People of the Springs area. You need 168 Sprayfeather Gill for Mualani's Level 90 Ascension, so start collecting them early and revisit the farming locations after they respawn.
Mualani, Kachina, and Kinich have exploration passives that can display nearby Natlan Local Specialties on the mini-map, making them useful when collecting Sprayfeather Gill.
☛ How to Get Mark of the Binding Blessing?
Mark of the Binding Blessing is dropped by the Goldflame Qucusaur Tyrant, a World Boss in Natlan. You need 46 of this material for Mualani's complete Ascension.
Because 46 Marks are required, farming this boss early is recommended. The boss also provides character Ascension gemstones, although its natural drops are not limited to Hydro gemstones.
☛ How to Get Saurian Whistles?
Mualani uses Sentry's Wooden Whistle, Warrior's Metal Whistle, and Saurian-Crowned Warrior's Golden Whistle.
These materials come from Natlan Saurians. Higher-tier materials can also be crafted from lower-tier versions through Alchemy.

| Level 10 | Philosophies of Contention ×16, Golden Whistle ×12, Lightless Mass ×2, Crown of Insight ×1 | x700,000 |
Multiply these requirements by three if you want to fully level all three Talents.
☛ How to Get the Talent Books of Contention?
The Contention Talent books are obtained from the Domain of Mastery in Natlan.
The domain provides Contention materials on Monday, Thursday, and Sunday. Higher-rarity books can also be crafted from lower-rarity versions using Alchemy.
☛ How to Get Lightless Mass?
Lightless Mass is Mualani's weekly Talent material. It is obtained by defeating the All-Devouring Narwhal in Fontaine.
You need 18 Lightless Mass to raise all three of Mualani's Talents to Level 10, or 6 for a single Talent.
Mualani Talent Priority
Mualani's recommended Talent priority is:
Elemental Skill > Elemental Burst > Normal Attack
Her Elemental Skill is her most important Talent because her enhanced attacks while surfing derive their damage from the Skill's scaling rather than the Normal Attack Talent. Her Burst is the next priority, while her Normal Attack can generally be left at a lower level.
If you're trying to save materials, prioritize her Elemental Skill first, followed by her Elemental Burst.
Mualani Material Farming Order
If you want to prepare Mualani efficiently, farm her materials in this order:
1. Sprayfeather GillCollect the Local Specialty whenever you're exploring Natlan.
2. Mark of the Binding BlessingFarm the Goldflame Qucusaur Tyrant regularly until you have 46.
3. Saurian materialsDefeat Natlan Saurians while exploring to collect the Whistles required for both Ascension and Talents.
4. Contention Talent booksUse the Blazing Ruins Domain on Monday, Thursday, and Sunday.
5. Lightless MassComplete the All-Devouring Narwhal weekly challenge regularly because its rewards are time-gated.
6. EXP and MoraPrepare enough Character EXP and Mora for the levels and Talents you actually intend to upgrade.
Conclusion
This is everything you need to fully build Mualani, from her Ascension and Talent materials to her signature weapon, Surf's Up. Start farming Sprayfeather Gill, Mark of the Binding Blessing, Saurian materials, Contention books, and Lightless Mass early so you're not forced to gather everything at once.
