For an immediate acquisition of Hylea’s Talon in *Avowed*, head to Lluisa Melcer at the Farmer’s Market or Abritt Porrya in Piaza Mez Vidarro. These merchants, located in the early sections of Emerald Stair, offer up to 5 units of Hylea’s Talon for 450 coins each. Additionally, breaking down unique weapons and armor at your party camp's workbench can yield more of this precious material.

Exploring

Similar to finding Paradisan Ladder in Dawnshore, Hylea’s Talon can be discovered in *Avowed* by exploring Emerald Stair and locating it as plants, as shown on the mini-map image. Keep an eye out for the plant icon on your map to find these upgrade material herbs. Engaging actively with the Emerald Stair missions during your campaign will naturally lead you to plentiful sources of Hylea’s Talon.

Alternatively, possessing ample Admeth’s Wyrt allows you to downgrade it into Hylea’s Talon through the "Downgrade" option next to "Upgrade Materials" at the workbench.

Breaking Down Items

Disposing of upgraded items you no longer need is another avenue to acquire Hylea’s Talon in *Avowed*. Simply break them down in your inventory menu. This method applies only to "Exceptional" quality or higher weapons and armor, so always review the "Break Down" section of their item descriptions to see what materials you can recover.
