It has become the norm for Genshin Impact officials to compensate their player base with free Primogems as compensation for the server maintenance. 60 Primogems are doled out for each hour the servers are under maintenance. Hence, players will find 300 free Primogems waiting to be claimed in their in-game inbox.

The countdown indicates when the servers will go live after the server maintenance. The countdown will end at 11 AM (UTC+8) on March 30, 2022. The banners and the update launch share the same release time, so players will find Ayato and Venti’s banner on the event wish page as soon as the update rolls out.
