Genshin Impact 3.4 update is expected to offer F2P players the opportunity to obtain over 85 wishes, a considerable number that could help them reach "Hard Pity" at least once.

This estimate is based on the value of the in-game currency, Primogems, and Intertwined Fates. To obtain this impressive number, players must participate in every event, complete all World Quests, and engage in other activities within the game.

However, it's important to note that those who do not have as much time to devote to the game should expect to earn fewer Wishes. The number of Fates obtained will depend on the effort put into this endeavor.


How to get 85+ Fates in Genshin Impact 2.3 update

Version 3.5 of Genshin Impact is all set to be released, most likely on March 1, 2023, at around 11 am (UTC +8).

The Primogem and Intertwined Fates calculation of v3.5 is mentioned below:

  1. Version 3.6 livestream redemption codes - 300 Primogems
  2. Maintenance Compensation - 600 Primogems
  3. Daily Commissions - 2520 Primogems
  4. Spiral Abyss - 1200 Primogems
  5. New Events - 2460 Primogems
  6. 'Tour Guide' feature - 23 wishes (worth 3680 Primogems)
  7. Paimon's Bargain for two months - 20 wishes (worth 3200 Primogems)
  8. Quests and hangouts - 180 Primogems
  9. Character Test Run - 80 Primogems
  10. Achievements - 55 Primogems
  11. HoYoLAB daily check-in - 100 Primogems

Using the computations provided earlier, those who play the free-to-play version of Genshin Impact should be capable of obtaining approximately 14,375 Primogems, which is enough to acquire 85 wishes.

HoYoverse will be airing a Special Program a few weeks before the release of Genshin Impact version 3.6, in which they will officially reveal information about the update.

Three redemption codes for Primogems will be available during the livestream, but only for a limited time. Players can obtain a sum of 300 Primogems if they redeem these codes before they expire.


2) Maintenance compensation

Genshin Impact will schedule a maintenance break on March 1, requiring all game servers to be shut down for around five hours. As compensation, the developers will send 600 Primogems to every player through the in-game mail system.


3) Daily commissions

Genshin Impact version 3.5 will last for 42 days, like most updates. Completing a single day's commissions with bonus rewards from Katheryne accounts for 60 Primogems. Travelers who manage to complete all the daily commissions will receive a total of 2520 Primogems.


4) Spiral abyss

Genshin Impact 3.5 will include two resets for the Spiral Abyss. If a player manages to clear the abyss with 36 stars in one cycle, they can receive a maximum of 600 Primogems.

Therefore, obtaining up to 1200 Primogems in this version is possible. While completing the challenge with a full star rating may be difficult for free-to-play players, it's not impossible.


5) New events

The next version will consist of four major events, including the flagship Windblume Festival, which is expected to reward 1000 Primogems. All others are expected to provide at least 420 Primogems each. Other miscellaneous events, such as web events, accounted for an extra 200 Primogems. This took the count to 2460 Primogems.


6) "Tour Guide" feature

The recent official announcement in version 3.5 Special Program by HoYoverse states that Genshin Impact players will soon be able to obtain one Intertwined Fate for every completed Archon Quest. This means they can obtain a total of 23 Intertwined Fates in version 3.5, which is equivalent to 3680 Primogems.


7) Paimon's Bargain
