Primogems are the premium currency in Genshin Impact that players primarily require to unlock characters or refresh Resin. There are several ways (paid and free) to get Primogems, and based on this, the community is divided into free-to-play players and Whales (heavy spenders).

This article will explain the most reliable methods for collecting Primogems in Genshin Impact.


Renewable sources to get Primogems in Genshin Impact

There are certain non-exhaustive sources to get Primogems in Genshin Impact:

Blessing of the Welkin Moon

The Blessing of the Welkin Moon is a monthly subscription that costs players $5. It grants 90 Primogems to players every day, which amounts to 2,700 Primogems in a month.

It is worth noting that the Blessing of the Welkin Moon also grants 300 Genesis Crystals that can later be converted to Primogems.


Battle Pass

The Battle Pass costs $10, and offers players 680 Primogems. However, they must reach level 50 of the Battle Pass to collect them entirely.

Every day, players can complete four daily commissions that are given by the Adventurer's Guild. After completing the commissions, they can go back to Katheryne in any city and collect 20 more Primogems as a reward.

In Inazuma, players can open chests to get Electro sigils. These sigils can be submitted at the Sacred Sakura tree, which offers keys to the Shrines in the region.

The Remarkable chests in Tsurumi island do not give any Primogems.

The Statues of Seven in Mondstadt, Liyue and Inazuma can be upgraded by collecting Anemocoli, Geocoli and Electrocoli, respectively. The statues can be upgraded till Lv. 10, and each level gives 10 Primogems.

When facing new enemies or mechanics, players can unlock tutorials that grant 1 to 2 Primogems.

Promo Codes

miHoYo periodically gives codes to players through livestreams and social media handles. These codes can be redeemed in-game for Primogems.

The Trust Rank rewards grant 600 Primogems to players. Moreover, the Companion feature in Serenia Pot gives 40 Primogems for each owned character.


Adventure Rank rewards
