Genshin Impact has recently added a new section to the map called Dragonspine. In this new area, players will find a new Dragonspine Statue of the Seven, stone tablets, new enemies, and even new materials to farm. Two of these new materials are the hard-to-find Rime-Worn Crystals and Rime-Worn Fragments.

Rime-Worn Fragments and Crystals

For the holiday season, there is a new event in Genshin Impact called The Chalk Prince and the Dragon. This event will be live until January 6th, 2021, so players will need to hurry to complete all the event's quests, and Rime-Worn Crystals and Fragments are both necessary materials to complete Act 1. The rewards for completing the quests that require these two items will get players free Primogems and Mora as well as other in-game goodies.

Getting Fragments and Crystals

The Rime-Worn Fragments and Crystals will not drop in Genshin Impact until players complete the quest Festering Desire. After that is complete, these materials will be found in the Dragonspine area only. Unlike Dragonspine's other material Starsilver however, players will have to kill enemies in order to get some.

How to get Rime-Worn Fragments

Rime-Worn Fragments have a much higher drop rate than the Crystals do, but are still fairly few and far between. In order to get them, players will have to kill enemies in the Dragonspine area. Every enemy has a chance to drop on of these Fragments, even basic hilichurls, but some enemies appear to have a higher chance of doing so. These enemies include:

Cryo Potioneer Treasure Hoarders and Crushers
Cryo Samachurl
Ice Shield Hilichurl Guard
Cryo Hilichurl Grenadier
Electro-Hammer Vanguard Fatui Skirmisher
Pyro-Slinger Bracer Fatui Skirmisher
Geochanter Bracer Fatui Skirmisher
Cryo Cicin

When out hunting, make sure to be wary of winter Snowstorms and Sheer Cold; always keep a Pyro character in waiting or players can level up the Frostbearing Tree in order to get a diagram for the Warming Bottle, which will help battle against Sheer Cold.

How to get Rime-Worn Crystals

In Genshin Impact's new Dragonspine location, players can also get Rime-Worn Crystals from enemies as a rare drop. These are even harder to find than the Fragments, with only about one dropping for every four Fragments. They are obtained in the same way though; Crystals can drop from any enemy in Dragonspine, but drop more often from these creatures:
