A detailed guide to obtain 12590 Primogems before the Heizou banner

1) 2.7 Maintenance and Bug Compensation

On May 31, maintenance will occur in Genshin Impact for five hours, starting at 06.00 am (UTC+8), and players will receive a minimum of 600 Primogems for the inconvenience. This amount is for both the maintenance and bug compensation and can be found in the in-game mail.

2) Daily Commissions

Four daily commissions will be refreshed every day after the daily reset, and players can complete them to receive 60 Primogems daily. Genshin Impact version 2.7 has a duration of 43 days, starting on May 31, resulting in players being able to receive a total of 2580 Primogems.

3) Battle Pass

The Battle Pass will also be renewed on May 31, and F2P players can obtain 5 Acquaint Fates by levelling up their BP from completing missions. This reward is equivalent to getting 800 Primogems in Genshin Impact.

4) Stardust Exchange in Paimon's Bargains

Every month, all Genshin Impact players can buy 5 Acquaint and Intertwined Fates from the Paimon's Bargains shop. Version 2.7 will continue from June to July, resulting in players having the chance to buy 20 Fates from the shop, which is equivalent to 3200 Primogems.

---

5) Spiral Abyss

The current end game in Genshin Impact is Spiral Abyss, which rewards players with 600 Primogems per cycle. The Spiral Abyss will contain three cycles in version 2.7, giving players a total of 1800 Primogems. F2P players can still clear the dungeon with full stars, but it will require more strategy and properly built characters.

6) Story Quests

Three new quests will be added to Genshin Impact version 2.7, which are:

1. Archon Quest - 60 Primogems
2. Yelan's Story Quest - 60 Primogems
3. Kuki Shinobu Hangout Event - 90 Primogems

All of the quests above will be permanently available in the game after the release, so players won't miss out on the Primogem rewards.

7) New Achievements

The developers rarely reveal hidden achievements before the actual release, so players have difficulty tracking how many new achievements will be added in the next version. However, if they follow the trend of the previous update, there will be newly added achievements in the Wonders of the World section, which will give players about 100 Primogems.

---

8) New Events

Genshin Impact will add four new events to version 2.7. The main event, 'Perilous Trail,' may give players, at most, 1000 Primogems, while the remaining side events may reward players with 420 Primogems. If players manage to complete all the tasks from all events, they can gain a total of 2260 Primogems.

9) Character Test Run

All 5-star units in the character banners will have their Test-Run trial event, which will provide players with 20 Primogems once they complete the challenge. With three 5-star characters in version 2.7, players are bound to get 60 Primogems by entering the Test Run stage and completing the task.

10) HoYoLAB Daily Check-In

HoYoLAB is the official forum for all HoYoverse games, and Genshin Impact obviously has its own slots and a daily check-in feature. Players that visit the forum regularly can earn 80 Primogems.

---

11) Version 2.8 Livestream Codes

The 2.8 Special Program will release three new redeem codes during the live stream. Players who manage to redeem all the codes will receive 300 Primogems.

Before the Heizou banner may arrive in Genshin Impact version 2.8, players will have various opportunities to collect Primogems within the game. By completing all the methods above, they can gain 12590 Primogems worth of Fates and save these in advance.
