The main function of Violetgrass is to be used in certain cooking recipes to provide buffs to the player. These recipes are:

- Bountiful Year - Increases the ATK (attack base) of the entire party by either 224, 272 or 320 points, and chance for critical hits by 6, 8 or 10% for 300 seconds depending on the quality of the dish.
- Stone Harbor Delicacies – Can increase the party’s critical rate by either 6, 9 or 12% for 300 seconds, depending on the quality of the cooked dish.
- Wanmin Restaurant's Boiled Fish – Can restore a substantial 34% of HP for the character that consumes the dish. The dish can then regenerate health for 30 seconds at a rate of 980 HP for every 5 seconds.
Alternatively, Violetgrass is also a material used for certain characters to level up their Ascension. Ascension occurs when a character surpasses their max levels and enters bonus levels, which uses different materials to their standard level-up requirements. The characters that require Violetgrass for Ascension are Qigi and Xinyan.
- Before getting to Ascension levels, Xinyan needs gold to upgrade her Talent abilities. To learn more about Gold in Genshin Impact and how to get it, read our guide on Genshin Impact Gold.
