Like every new Genshin Impact patch, the upcoming version 2.8 is bringing new and famous characters to the banners.

However, players are going to need tons of Primogems for that and there are many various ways for players to do it. Fortunately for readers, this article will consist of both F2P as well as P2W methods for players to collect Primogems quickly in Genshin Impact.


Easy Guide to earning Primgoems quickly for Genshin Impact 2.8

Once the upcoming patch 2.8 goes live in Genshin Impact, players will already receive around 600 Primogems for free. In the form of maintenance compensation and some from Issue Fix compensation, players can find the 600 free Primogems in their in-game mailbox.

Players can also collect 300 Primogems for free by redeeming the codes that will be displayed during the 2.8 Special Program. Three codes will be disclosed at regular intervals for players to claim during the livestream. There are also various F2P methods players can consider to earn as many Primogems as possible.

Here is a summary that explains the method and approximate amount of Primogems that can be earned:

  • Daily Commissions: 60 Primogems
  • Daily Check-In: Up to 80 Primogems
  • Events: Atleast 1,680 or more
  • Spiral Abyss: 1800 Primogems (if 36 stars in all three phases)
  • Stardust Exchange: Up to 3,200 (10 Intertwined Fates and 10 Acquaint Fates)
  • Test Runs: 60 Primogems ( 20 per 5-star character)
  • Hangout Event: 30 Primogems

Players need to know to keep this in mind that they can still earn more Primogems by completing puzzles and hidden quests added with the new playable region called The Chasm. There are also web events where players can participate and earn some amount of Primgems.

If players have a long list of world quests or story quests to complete, they will inevitably have more Primogems to earn than players who are already done with it.
