Primogems are the premium currency in Genshin Impact if you’re looking to make wishes to unlock new playable characters or weapons.
Many resources, such as the Mora world currency, materials to upgrade your characters, and weapons, can be obtained by playing. But if you want to be able to unlock Genshin Impact’s growing list of charming characters, including five-star characters like Diluc, Klee, or Raiden, then you’ll need Acquaint Fate and Intertwined Fate, which must be acquired with Primogems.
After making a wish, you will receive Starglitter and Stardust, which can also be used to redeem Acquaint Fate and Intertwined Fate. But mainly, the way to acquire them is by spending Primogems.
You can earn Primogems by completing various in-game activities or by spending real-world money to purchase Genesis Crystals, which can be converted into Primogems for the same value (i.e. 60 Genesis Crystals are worth 60 Primogems).
Genesis Crystals can also be used to purchase other content, including select alternate character costumes, which can only be redeemed with Genesis Crystals.

How to get free Primogems in Genshin Impact
There are all sorts of ways to earn free Primogems just by playing, so if you’re willing to save up for the chance to unlock a new five-star character (though considering each banner only lasts three weeks), then you can make wishes with quite regularly without opening your wallet.
Hoyoverse also offers Primogems to celebrate events, such as their release anniversary or code giveaways, as well as compensation for server maintenance downtime during version updates or bug fixes.
The most reliable way to earn free Primogems is through Daily Commissions, which are unlocked once you reach Adventure Rank 12.
You earn a total of four Daily Commissions each day. Each quest is usually very quick to complete and each gets 10 Primogems. Once you have completed all the daily commissions, report to Katheryne at the Adventurer’s Guild and she will reward you with 20 Primogems, so you can always earn at least 60 Primogems each day.
In addition to Daily Commissions, there are many other ways to earn free Primogems, although they are less regular, some can only be earned once and others are relatively rare:
- Complete Archon (main campaign) or Story (Character) quests (60 Primogems each; note that Archon chapters will usually consist of multiple quests so you can earn more Primogems)
- Complete the mission objectives in the Adventurer’s Handbook. Each chapter gives you between 50 and 150 Primogems. Like campaign missions, they can only be obtained once.
- Unlock a new teleport waypoint, which usually grants you 5 Primogems.
- Earn in-game achievements by sometimes completing campaign missions but also achieving a rare combat feat. When an achievement appears, simply select the Achievement icon in the menu and you will be able to redeem Primogems. Depending on the achievement, each achievement can be worth between 5 and 20 Primogems.
- Opening chests. There are thousands hidden in Teyvat, some rarer than others. Opening a regular chest will get you only 2 Primogems, but if you can find a Deluxe chest, it’s possible to earn between 10 and 40 Primogems.
- Taking headline banner characters for a test run. These are always very short to make, they give you an idea of the character’s playstyle if you haven’t unlocked them yet, and you’ll get 20 Primogems for your trouble!
- Participate in limited-time missions and event challenges. They usually run for the duration of a banner or new update, and always have chances to win free Primogems. You can earn on average around 400 Primogems per event. You can also earn many other resources, but if you’re short on time, the good news is that Primogems are always the first rewards you can get. For example, if you are playing a minigame with ranked rewards, you will always find Primogems as a reward for getting bronze instead of gold.
- When reading the tutorials, really, each one gives you 1 Primogem. Every little bit helps.
Given how long it takes to complete story-based quests, how most rewards are given only once, and that event quests also unlock gradually over the period they run, there’s really no quick, foolproof way to farm Primogems apart from Daily Commissions.
However, as long as you log in regularly and participate in the activities above, you’ll find that you can earn enough Primogems to at least make 10 extractions per banner period, although players who want to have a better chance of getting the last five may find that the star character may have to consider spending real money.
Version 4.1 is coming! With it comes the debut of Neuvillette and Wriothesley, but in the meantime, in version 4.0, our Fontaine guide can help you with the reputation of Fontaine and the Fountain of Lucine, and you can also redeem new codes for Primogems if you want Lyney, and check it out in our tier list. To upgrade Lyney, you will need a lot of Rainbow Rose and Lynette requires Lumidouce Bell. You’ll also need luck from the Pity and 50/50 systems to wish them fate and future banners, and you’ll always need the correct adventure rank for events. Elsewhere, we have beginner tips and tricks, Dendroculus locations, fishing locations, and TCG card locations.
What can Primogems be used for?
Primogems are primarily used to purchase Fates needed to make a wish under a selected banner.
Intertwined Fate is used to make a wish under the event banner, while Acquaint Fate is used to make a wish under the standard banner. Each costs 160 Primogems.
While there is no time limit on the regular banner and plenty of four-star characters are added to your party, including the ability to select five-star favorites like Diluc, Keqing and Mona, if you’re looking for the newest exclusive characters then you’d be better off. Save your Primogems for the event banner.
However, you should not ignore the normal banner, as here you also have opportunities to make wishes without spending Primogems.
In the free version of the battle pass, you will have a chance to get free Acquaint Fates every 10 levels. Acquaint Fates can also be redeemed by spending Starglitter or Stardust obtained from previous wishes, although this can also be used to redeem Interwined Fates.
Remember: Primogems are only available if you max out the paid Battle Pass.
It is also recommended that you do not rush to make a wish as soon as you have enough Primogems. However, if you save up to making 10 wishes at a time (1600 Primogems), you will be guaranteed at least one four-star or higher item, although this can mean a character or a weapon.
In addition to Wishes, you can also spend Primogems to replenish Resin, which is necessary if you want to collect rewards from challenges such as bosses, Dominions, and Leyline Outcrops. They can also be used to speed up your progress in the Battle Pass.
However, if you intend to play Genshin Impact without spending real-world money, we recommend using Primogems for wishes only. With a little patience, the resin will be completely replenished in less than 24 hours. If you log in daily and only play in bursts of one or two hours, you’ll find that you can still get a lot done while earning a decent amount of Primogems.
Best of luck getting those five-star characters!
