It’s autumn in Mondstadt, and the scent of freshly poured dandelion wine wafts through the streets. The year is 2026, and dear old Teyvat has once again rolled out the barrels for the Of Ballads and Brews festival. Among the jigs, slurred toasts, and suspicious fish-blasting incidents, one activity continues to haunt the dreams of completionists everywhere: Fecund’s Blessings. Eight hampers per stage. Three stages. A mountain of cryptic clues that sound like they were written after one too many tankards of Dawn Winery’s finest. Fear not, Traveler—this guide will drag those hidden gift baskets out of the bushes and into your inventory, with style.

🍻 How to join the 2026 party

Before anyone can start sniffing out hampers, a few formalities must be observed. The Knights of Favonius, ever the gatekeepers of festival fun, demand that every participant be at least Adventure Rank 21 or above. On top of that, the Archon Quest Prologue: Act 3 – Song of the Dragon and Freedom and the story quest Lupus Minor Chapter: Act 1 – The Meaning of Lupical must both be completed. Once those boxes are ticked, seek out Katheryne at the Adventurers’ Guild. She’ll hand over the starting quest Sounds from Afar, which basically involves nodding along while a bard explains the historical importance of ale. Finish that, open the event menu, and the Fecund’s Blessing activity will unlock, ready to test one’s patience and eyesight.

The activity unfolds in three sequential stages:

  • When the Music Sounds

  • The Feast in Full Swing

  • The Afterparty

Each stage hides eight hampers scattered across Mondstadt and its surroundings, and the clues—well, they’re about as direct as a drunk hilichurl trying to give directions. Below are every morsel of intel needed to snag them all.

🎵 Stage 1: When the Music Sounds

This initial hunt covers the familiar streets and hills around the city of freedom. Mighty adventurers, however, often find themselves reduced to pacing in front of the cathedral while muttering “spring fairy” under their breath. To save everyone’s dignity, here are the exact locations translated from tipsy tongue.

# Clue (abridged) Where to Actually Look
1 “Near the stage at the Wine Market.” Right next to the large wooden stage in the market area, practically begging to be tripped over.
2 “Beside the spring fairy.” Springvale’s little pond with the stone statue—hamper sits smugly behind it.
3 “Southernmost tip of Springvale.” The house farthest south in the village; the basket is lurking near a tree by the cliff edge.
4 “Behind a shop in Mondstadt City…angry bartender.” The back alley behind Cat’s Tail tavern. Diona may hiss at passersby, but the hamper doesn’t judge.
5 “At Lord Barbatos’s feet.” Right in front of the giant Barbatos statue in front of the cathedral. Hard to miss, unless one is looking up in reverence.
6 “Rear gate of Angel’s Share.” Sneak around the back of the tavern; the hamper is tucked beside some crates.
7 “Very, very, very high up.” Teleport to the Knights of Favonius Headquarters, then climb up onto the cathedral roof. Yes, the basket is on the roof. Gliding down is optional but recommended.
8 “Training grounds near the Knights of Favonius Headquarters.” Inside the training yard, near the dummies. Try not to aggro the knights mid-swing.

Grab all eight and the game politely informs everyone they may proceed to the next stage. Cue the feast!

🍖 Stage 2: The Feast in Full Swing

The second set of clues gets a little drunker. References to mysterious “Magus-Custodians” and “High Ladies of Immernachtreich” start appearing, confirming that at least one Fischl fan wrote these notes. Adventurers might need to stretch their gliding wings a bit wider this time.

# Clue (abridged) Where to Actually Look
1 “Near a certain shop that sells souvenirs.” With Wind Comes Glory, the souvenir shop in Mondstadt city. The hamper is right outside, next to the display racks.
2 “Near a venerable hotel…occupied by guests from afar.” The Goth Grand Hotel, now packed with Fatui. The basket is on the side facing the city wall, hopefully not weaponized.
3 “Giant leaves turn with the wind…close to Knights of Favonius Headquarters.” The large windmill behind the headquarters. Look at its base.
4 “Beside Cider Lake…where I feed the ducks.” The small pier south of the city gates, where ducks nonchalantly float. Hamper sits near the water’s edge.
5 “People travail…lake’s side gate.” The side gate of the city walls that leads to the lake, just north of the main entrance.
6 “Magus-Custodian of Books’ sanctum…High Lady of Immernachtreich…” The second floor of the Mondstadt Library, where Lisa works and Fischl rehearses her monologues. The hamper is by the railing.
7 “Old battered cart…place where I go fish blasting.” Starfell Lake, near the broken cart by the shore. Klee’s favorite spot; tread carefully for bombs.
8 “Small shoal in Whispering Woods…small pier.” The tiny wooden pier in the Whispering Woods along Cider Lake’s north shore. Watch the slippery rocks.

With these collected, the afterparty beckons. No time to nurse a sprained ankle from that cathedral roof climb.

🎉 Stage 3: The Afterparty

By the third stage, the clue-writer has clearly embraced spring water with a splash of alchemy. The directions grow poetic and geographically vague. Fortunately, the hamper placement gets a tad more adventurous, venturing near waterfalls, cliffs, and the Hunter’s own doorstep.

# Clue (abridged) Where to Actually Look
1 “Door of the greatest hunter in Springvale…head south…on a cliff.” Draff’s house in Springvale. Go south to the cliff edge; the hamper is hidden behind a rock.
2 “What they’re looking for may be right by the starting point.” Right beside the Springvale teleport waypoint. Facepalm accordingly.
3 “Cliff face at the waterfall…bravest of all.” The waterfall northeast of Springvale. The basket is wedged on a ledge halfway down. Glide or climb.
4 “Spot in Springvale from which the aroma of meat ever drifts.” Brook’s cooking pot, near the center of the village. Follow the nose.
5 “The Symbol of Mondstadt’s Hero.” The giant tree at Windrise, at the base of the statue of Vennessa. A truly peaceful spot.
6 “Near Windrise, inside a red adventurer’s tent.” Look for the red tent further south of the Windrise tree. The hamper is literally inside, on the bedroll.
7 “Main entrance to Dawn Winery.” Right at the front gate of the winery. The guards do not mind.
8 “House due south of Dawn Winery.” The small cottage south of the winery. A festive flower basket indeed.

As the last hamper slides into the bag, a wave of satisfaction hit—quickly followed by the realization that another event-exclusive weapon now awaits in the rewards menu. Complete all the Of Ballads and Brews event activities and the 4-star polearm Missive Windspear joins the arsenal, a fine trophy for all that basket-chasing madness.

🧭 Final Tips for Hamper Hoarders

  • The hampers shine and emit sparkles, making them slightly less invisible. Still, nighttime can help them stand out against Mondstadt’s grass.

  • No climbing is impossible. If a clue says high, think cathedrals, windmill tops, and any cliff that would make an ordinary person weep.

  • Once a stage is completed, the next one unlocks immediately. There’s no daily timegate, so binge-hunt at one’s leisure.

  • Remember: the event runs only until October 17, 2026. Dragging it out until the last evening with a handful of uncollected hampers is a recipe for frantic teleporting and mild regret.

Now go forth, Traveler. The hampers aren’t going to find themselves. And somewhere in Springvale, an eccentric hunter is still chuckling at the clue about his front door.

In the spirit of your Fecund’s Blessings hamper hunt—where clue readability, route efficiency, and “gotcha” verticality define the experience—OpenCritic-style synthesis is a useful lens for understanding why limited-time festival activities often hinge on pacing, navigation friction, and reward motivation to keep completionists engaged.
