Ningguang Talent Materials
Leveling up Ningguang’s talents is similar to every other character. Each talent maxes out at level 10, requiring some talent books of a particular series, monster drops, Mora, and a material from a Trounce Domain boss. Additionally, a Crown of Insight will be needed to upgrade a talent from level 9 to level 10.
Here’s what each of Ningguang’s talents requires to be upgraded, including a total per talent and that total tripled, because there are three upgradeable talents.

Talent Books - Prosperity
The talent book series that Ningguang uses is theProsperityseries. These books are obtained from theTaishan Mansion on Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
Additionally, they can be crafted from three copies of the lower level — three Teachings can be crafted into a Guide, and three Guides can be crafted into a Philosophies.
Trounce Materials
The Trounce material Ningguang needs to upgrade her talents is theSpirit Locket of Boreas. This is a potential drop when defeating theWolf of the Northchallenge at level 70 or higher. This is one of the weekly boss fights, meaning the player has one chance at grabbing some of the materials only once per week.
If it proves difficult to obtain the Spirit Locket, it can be converted from the other Boreas items, the Ring of Boreas and Tail of Boreas, with the help of some Dream Solvent and a crafting bench.
