Genshin Impact version 2.7 will arrive in a few days, followed by the Yelan and Xiao banners. With two 5-star characters, F2P players will clearly have a hard time choosing which character to pull, especially with the limited amount of Primogems available for them.

However, the version update also brings good news as Travelers can receive a lot of Primogems through multiple methods in the game. This allows them to stock more of the valuable currency, thereby improving their chances of getting the characters they want. This article will list all the methods available for players to follow and gain Primogems after the 2.7 update.


How to get Fates worth 11900 Primogems in Genshin Impact 2.7 update

Free-to-play (F2P) players in Genshin Impact always have a hard time collecting Primogems in the late stages of each version. This is because almost all the gameplay has been completed, and there is almost no other option except to wait for new events.

With the upcoming maintenance of version 2.7, gamers will have more methods to gain Primogems as multiple new events are added to the game. The following list are the methods players can use to farm Primogems for the upcoming update.

  1. Maintenance Compensation: 300 Primogems
  2. Bug Compensation: 300 Primogems
  3. Daily Commissions: 2520 Primogems
  4. Battle Pass: 5 Acquaint Fates (800 Primogems)
  5. Stardust Exchange: 20 Fates (3200 Primogems)

  10. Character Test Run: 60 Primogems
  11. HoYoLAB Daily Check-In: 80 Primogems

The maintenance update is scheduled ahead of time, so players will know in advance and not lose any progress in the game. Once the maintenance work is completed in 5 hours, developers gift each Traveler with 300 Primogems as an apology for the server being down.


2) Bug Compensation

In addition to the maintenance, there is also an issue fix compensation where players will get another 300 Primogems in their in-game mail. Both the rewards will be sent out at the same time.


3) Daily Commissions

4) Battle Pass

Travelers in Genshin Impact will be rewarded with the Sojourner's Battle Pass after every update. By completing tasks, they can increase the level of their BP and gain various rewards. Some of the notable rewards are 5 Acquaint Fates, which is equivalent to 800 Primogems.


5) Stardust Exchange

Stardust Exchange is a shop section in Paimon's Bargain, where players can buy Fates every month after the refresh. The shop will provide a total of 5 Acquaint and Intertwined Fates every month, and players can buy 20 Fates over the course of June and July. In other words, they can earn 3200 Primogems worth of Fates.


6) Spiral Abyss

Spiral Abyss is the current end game in Genshin Impact and it gives 600 Primogems each cycle. Version 2.7 will have 3 cycles of Spiral Abyss, meaning players can gain a total of 1800 Primogems.
