What are Pinecones used for in Genshin Impact?
Pinecones are a common item found all around the world of Teyvat, but surprisingly, these abundant items do not have many uses in the game. While they are more recently used as ingredients in events such as Spices of the West, you’ll mostly be incorporating these items as ingredients while making food in the game.
Pinecones are used as ingredients in the following recipes:
| Item | Recipe |
| Mondstadt Hashbrown | x2 Pinecone, x1 Potato, x1 Jam |
| Puppy-Paw Hashbrown | x2 Pinecone, x1 Potato, x1 Jam |
| Sautéed Matsutake | x3 Matsutake, x3 Flour, x2 Pinecone, x2 Butter |
Otherwise, Pinecones do not have many uses in recipes. However, these food items are still very useful and will help you as you explore Genshin Impact and battle world bosses or complete quests. It’s not a bad idea to stockpile on Pinecones so you can create a reliable stockpile of these food items.
Remember that a majority of Pinecones are found in Mondstadt, and they aren’t really worth farming from locations like Liyue and Inazuma. Once you exhaust yourself of Pinecones, check back at the same locations in three days, where all collectible items in the game should reset again.
