Quenepa berries are a “local specialty,” meaning that this material can only be found in one region: Natlan, in this case.

Quenepa berries are mainly used as character ascension material; when a character reaches a leveling ‘threshold’ (at level 20, 40, and 50, for example), you must give them a certain amount of ascension materials to unlock further upgrades. Note that only a few characters use Quenepa Berries as their ascension material. Before you start farming them, make sure you have at least one such character – for now, Kachina is the only one who needs Quenepa Berries, but more characters will follow in future updates.

In addition to character enhancement, Quenepa berries can be used in several recipes, including the recipe for making the Pyroculus Resonance Stone, which is used to reveal Pyroculi locations on the map. You need 168 Quenepa Berries to reach the highest character ascension level (only 108 if you’re happy with a max level of 80), but you only need five Berries to craft the Pyroculus Resonance Stone.
