Summary

  • Players will receive 1,600 Primogems for free during Genshin Impact's anniversary.
  • These free Primogems are enough to get a 4-star drop or help players save up for the powerful featured character Kinich.
  • Some fans aim to save Primogems for future limited characters like Mavuika in Version 5.3.

Genshin Impact has revealed that players will be able to collect a sizable amount of Primogems for free in the coming days. Primogems are widely considered the most important currency in Genshin Impact, as they allow players to acquire Intertwined and Acquaint Fates.

Each of the two costs 160 Primogems, and Intertwined Fates are much more popular since they are used on Genshin Impact's Limited Character Banner, which rotates approximately every three weeks. Acquaint Fates are used to pull on the Standard Banner, which contains seven five-star characters. Players can also acquire these characters by losing a 50/50 on the Limited Banner.

Genshin Impact Special Program 5.1 Date and Time Confirmed

Genshin Impact officially revealed the exact release date and time for the upcoming Special Program livestream event for Version 5.1.

Even though Genshin Impact runs on a gacha-based system, meaning that banners are the main source of revenue, the game also offers tons of Primogems for free through various promotions. The end of September is usually a very busy time in the world of Genshin Impact, as it's the game's anniversary, and players can receive an increased amount of Primogems for free within a short period. According to Genshin Impact's most recent official announcement, players will be able to collect a total of 1,600 Primogems for free during this time. This number of Primogems is enough for a 10-wish pull, which will guarantee a four-star drop in Genshin Impact.

Genshin Impact: Anniversary Primogem Rewards

  • September 28 - Primogems (x400), Firstborn Firesprite (x1)
  • September 29 - Primogems (x400), Frigile Resin (x2)
  • September 30 - Primogems (x400), Sanctifying Elixir (x1)
  • October 1 - Primogems (x400), Kaboom Box (x1)

Many fans in the comment section claim that they had forgotten about the anniversary rewards, and these Primogems will certainly improve their chances of getting Kinich, the currently featured five-star character. Kinich is a powerful Dendro DPS unit in Genshin Impact with one of the most special kits in the game, thanks to his grappling hook mechanic.

Kinich is not the only limited five-star character available, as the popular Inazuma Archon Raiden Shogun is also featured in the ongoing double banner. Despite being released over three years ago, Raiden Shogun remains one of the best characters in Genshin Impact due to her ability to adapt to almost any type of team composition.

Some fans have pointed out that they will save up as many Primogems as possible to get Natlan's Pyro Archon, Mavuika, whose release date has yet to be officially revealed. According to various credible leakers, Mavuika is expected to arrive during Genshin Impact Version 5.3, which, based on HoYoverse's usual update schedule, should drop in the first half of January.

Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.

You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.

Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...

MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?

ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.

Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.

BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.

SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.

BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.

JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.

As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
