Primogems calculation is crucial for Genshin Impact players. For those who want to ensure they'll get the character they desire, proper management of this currency is the main key.
Every six weeks, Genshin Impact releases a new update. Usually, players can expect around 10,000 Primogems on each Version. This number may sound a lot, but it translates to around 60 Wishes. This is not enough for players to reach pity and get a guaranteed 5-star. For players who plan to save in Genshin Impact 2.4, here's how many Primogems they can collect on the next update.
Primogems Calculation For Genshin Impact 2.4
In Genshin Impact 2.4, F2P players can amass a total of 13,580 Primogems. This is the breakdown of each source:
- Daily Commissions (2520 Primogems)
- Battle Pass (800 Primogems)
- Stardust Exchange (1600 Primogems)
- Spiral Abyss (1800 Primogems)
- New Area: Enkanomiya (500 Primogems)
- Sacred Sakura Tree (960 Primogems)
- New World Quests (420 Primogems)
- New Achievements (200 Primogems)
- Character Test Run (80 Primogems)
- New Events (2000 Primogems)
- Hangout Events (120 Primogems)
- Login Event: 1600 Primogems
- HoYoLAB Daily Check-in (80 Primogems)
- Version 2.5 Live Stream (300 Primogems)
- Bug Fixes (300 Primogems)
- Game Update Compensation (300 Primogems)
If the Fates aren't converted into Primogems, then players will have:
Free to play
- 8,620 Primogems
- 14 Acquaint Fates
- 17 Intertwined Fates
Welkin and Battle Pass Spender
- 13,080 Primogems
- 14 Acquaint Fates
- 21 Intertwined Fates
Do note that some of these numbers are based on assumptions. Other than the listed data, there are also other ways to gain Primogems. For example, by participating in contests and Web Events. If players are interested in understanding where each value came from, they can read the details below.
Daily Commissions
- Free to play: 60 Primogems x 42 days = 2520 Primogems
- Welkin Spender: (60 + 90 Primogems) x 42 days = 6300 Primogems
Every day, players can finish four Daily Commissions and take an extra reward from Katheryne. This will grant 60 Primogems. Because every Version is six weeks long, this value is multiplied by 42 days.
Battle Pass
- Free to play: 5 Acquaint Fates
- Battle Pass Spender: 5 Acquaint Fates + 4 Intertwined Fates + 680 Primogems
By reaching level 50 on the Battle Pass, Travelers can amass five Acquaint Fates. This is equivalent to 800 Primogems. Meanwhile, players who buy the Battle Pass will gain four extra Intertwined Fates and 680 Primogems. This translates to a total of 2120 Primogems.
Stardust Exchange
Every month, players can buy five Acquaint and five Intertwined Fates via the Paimon Shop. On Genshin Impact 2.4, the shop resets once in February. 10 Fates are equal to 1600 Primogems.
Spiral Abyss
This one is the most tricky. Players should calculate this part based on their capabilities. But for those who can finish Genshin Impact Spiral Abyss with maximum stars on every rotation, then they can expect 1800 Primogems in Version 2.4.
New Area (Enkanomiya)
Update 2.4 will bring a whole new area, Enkanomiya. The land beneath Watatsumi Island would be filled with Genshin Impact Chests. Players can expect around 500 Primogems from this content.
Sacred Sakura Tree
With the release of Enkanomiya, Sacred Sakura Tree can finally reach its maximum level. From level 40 to 50, Travelers may get four Acquaint and two Intertwined Fates (assuming it has the same reward as level 30 to 40). This is equivalent to 960 Primogems.
New World Quests
Of course, the new area also means new World Quests. Usually, each would reward 40 to 60 Primogems. It's a pretty safe bet to estimate 420 Primogems from them.
New Achievements
Whether it's exploration or Hidden Quest achievements, the total would range somewhere between 100 to 200 Primogems.
Character Test Run
In Genshin Impact 2.4, there will be four character banners: Shenhe, Xiao, Ganyu, and Zhongli. Each Test Run will yield 20 Primogems, which total 80 Primogems.
New Events
There are several events in Version 2.4. In total, players can expect 1500 to 2000 Primogems reward off all of them.
- Flameplume Starflowers
- Wondrous Shadows
- The Great Gathering
- Oceanic Defender
- A Study in Potions
- Eight Locales Over Mountains and Seas
- Windtrace
Hangout Events
Surprising news comes with the Hangout Event. For fans who love spending their time with Genshin Impact characters, they can hang out with Ningguang and Yun Jin in Version 2.4. Each will grant 60 Primogems, so two events mean 120 Primogems total.
Login Event
Just like last Lantern Rite, May Fortune Find You is making a comeback in this year's celebration. For logging in, Travelers can collect a total of 10 Intertwined Fates. This is equivalent to 1600 Primogems.
HoYoLAB Daily Check-in
HoYoLAB is Genshin Impact's official forum. Every day, players can log in to get a small reward. Each month, the Check-in will grant a total of 60 Primogems. So within 42 days, Travelers can get 80 Primogems.
Version 2.5 Live Stream
As the current Version comes to an end, miHoYo always holds a live stream to tease the new content on the next update. Players can rely on this to get 300 Primogems via Limited Promo Codes.
Bug Fixes
Bugs are inevitable in programs. Some of them are handled immediately while other Genshin Impact bugs are fixed along with the Version update. Every time, this always grants 300 Primogems.
Game Update Compensation
Lastly, when the new update comes, Genshin Impact will undergo a few hours of maintenance. Usually, this lasts for roughly five hours, and Travelers are typically compensated with 60 Primogems for every hour. Consequently, the minimum compensation would be 300 Primogems. So far, the game's update never exceeded the estimated five hours.
Genshin Impact is now available on Mobile, PC, PS4, and PS5. A Switch version is in development.
