Everything to know about the double Genesis Crystals offer in Genshin Impact

The Shop in Genshin Impact offers several Genesis Crystal bundles to the players. It is a premium currency that can be converted to Primogems at a 1:1 ratio.

To motivate players to make their first investment, Genshin Impact gives bonus Genesis Crystals to them. For instance, buying 6,480 Genesis Crystals for $99.99 gives players a massive bonus of 6480 Crystals.

It is worth noting that this bonus can only be availed during the first investment. Thereafter, the bonus significantly decreases with every purchase.

Is this the right time to invest in Genesis Crystals in Genshin Impact?

Players who were about to make their first investment in Genshin Impact can certainly make the most out of the upcoming Genesis Crystals top-up reset event. They can purchase a bundle before the 2.1 patch and get double the Genesis Crystals bonus.

Following the reset, they can buy the bundle and avail the bonus yet again. Using this strategy, the new investors can get double the amount of Primogems by spending the least amount of money.

Having said that, the Genshin Impact community is still comprised of millions of free-to-play players who rely on Daily Commissions, Quests, and Events for Primogems.
