Since its arrival back in 2020, Genshin Impact has become one of the most successful gacha-based titles in the gaming industry. Players are required to spend different in-game currencies in order to acquire their desired character on limited banners which are usually available for approximately 22 days. At the moment, there are two main gacha currencies that can be spent on Genshin Impact banners: Intertwined and Acquaint Fates.

A couple of days ago, Reddit user Junichi shared that they mistakenly spent a vast amount of Primogems on the wrong fates. However, the same player has recently revealed that they've actually managed to successfully revert their purchase which was widely accepted to be impossible. According to the thread, there are four key steps players should take if they find themselves in this uncomfortable situation:

  • Send a ticket to Hoyoverse as fast as possible.
  • Be very specific about how the accident happened without mentioning any unrelated details.
  • Provide a couple of screenshots for proof.
  • Do not spend any of the Acquaint Fates.

While players tend to acquire blue fates only when they are handed out for free, things could change in the foreseeable future. Standard banners include a couple of very popular Genshin Impact characters, however, the fact that they can be dropped on the limited banner as well gives no reason for players to spend their Primogems on this banner. Limited banners have a 50% chance of dropping a standard character, and Keqing is the only standard character that has been a part of the limited banner as well.

A recent Genshin Impact leak has revealed that upcoming updates could bring a new mechanic of getting standard banner characters without spending any Primogems. Developer Hoyoverse keeps making improvements to the banner system with Genshin Impact update 2.3 introducing the first double banner featuring Eula and Albedo. Double banners usually include two banner re-runs, with some exceptions like Shenhe and Ayato, who have been a part of a double banner despite being brand-new characters.

Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5 with a Switch version in development.
