Players who plan to pull for Ganyu in Genshin Impact should pre-farm her ascension materials. This way, once they get their Ganyu, the Qilin can be maxed immediately, allowing people to use her as soon as she comes home. Luckily, as she's an old character released in Genshin Impact 1.2, Ganyu's ascension materials are considered easy.
