On Genshin Impact, Primogems are one of the main premium currencies. They are used to refill original resin and purchase wishing items (Intertwined Fate and Aquaint Fate), making them a near-crucial currency. However, since they can be tedious to earn, this wikiHow article will walk you through the steps of getting your hands on some Primogems.
Steps
-
Purchase them with money. This isn't the only way to get Primogems, however, if you need Primogems as quickly as possible, you can purchase them. You can either buy Genesis Crystals and convert them into Primogems or buy the Blessing of the Welkin Moon.
-
Redeem Adventure Rank rewards. By levelling up, you can earn rewards by talking to Katheryne at the Adventurers’ Guild. The Adventurers’ guild has locations in all three nations- you can find Katheryne in Mondstadt, Liyue Harbor, and Inazuma City. AR Rewards include not just Primogems, but other valuable rewards such as artifacts and Mora.Advertisement
-
Open chests. While chests don't give out many primogems, finding a few exquisite and precious chests can give you a few Primogems.
- Keep in mind that chests in areas with difficult terrain (such as Dragonspine and the Stormbearer Mountains) always give Primogems. In such areas, common chests always give 2 Primogems, exquisite chests give 5, precious chests give 10, and luxurious chests give 40.
-
Check your mailbox. No, this does not mean your actual mailbox, but the mailbox in the Paimon menu. Sometimes, the developers send out freebies, which often include Primogems, Mora, and food items. Leaving these unclaimed in your mailbox can cause you to miss out on some amazing rewards.
-
Pop balloon plants. While adventuring in Liyue, you may find balloon plants. Investigating them triggers the plant's flowers to inflate and float. Use a character who fights with a bow (like Amber or Fischl) to pop them. After popping them, an exquisite chest will appear, which will contain a few primogems.
-
Offer oculi to Statues of the Seven. You might find Anemoculi (in Mondstadt), Geoculi (in Liyue), and Electroculi (in Inazuma) while exploring. Offer them to Statues of the Seven in their respective regions for rewards like increased stamina, Adventure EXP, and Primogems.
- Keep in mind that currently, Hydroculi, Pyroculi, Dendroculi, and Cryoculi do not exist, as their respective regions haven't been added to the map.
-
Redeem promo codes. Every so often, MiHoYo releases promo codes that you can redeem for a prize, which often includes primogems. Redeem them quickly, however, as they often reach maximum usage quickly.
-
Complete quests and commissions. Quests and commissions often drop a few Primogems, and they are the primary way to progress through the story. However, if you're out of quests, focus on commissions (daily quests).
-
Fill out your adventurer's handbook. Your adventurer's handbook has sets of quests that are somewhat easy to achieve. Each set drops a hefty amount of Primogems, so if you haven't completed it already, don't be afraid to fill it out!
-
Complete achievements. Achievements can drop some Primogems, and there are also some extremely unconventional achievements (such as Boared to Death and Nothing Special, Just Practice) that will be fun to try out.
-
Clear and discover domains. By discovering and clearing domains, you can get your hands on a few Primogems. You can also get other rewards like Mora and artifacts this way.
-
Try out the battle pass. At AR 20, the battle pass unlocks. It's basically an additonal quests page that gives you a generous amount of prizes that refresh seasonally. You will need to purchase the premium battle pass (Gnostic Hymn or Gnostic Chorus) to earn Primogems and even more rewards, though.
- Gnostin Hymn and Gnostic Chorus are not one-time purchases, meaning that they do not carry over between Battle Pass seasons.
-
Unlock Shrines of Depths. Shrines of Depths contain luxurious chests, which contain 40 Primogems each. If you unlock all 10 Mondstadt shrines, you will earn a total of 400 Primogems, which is enough to buy 2 wishing items.
-
Clear the Spiral Abyss . The Spiral Abyss is a domain where, based on the floor, you challenge yourself against different opponents. It has two sections: the Abyss Corridor and the Abyssal Moon Spire. In the Abyss Corridor, you can obtain up to 300 Primogems per floor after the first clear, and in the Abyssal Moon Spire, you can earn up to 150 Primogems per floor every month.
-
15Increase your Realm's trust rank. By crafting furnishings for the first time, you can obtain a certain type of EXP points called Trust. Trust increases your Realm's trust rank, allowing you to earn rewards such as Vials of Adeptal Speed, furnishing blueprints, and 60 Primogems.
- Housing is unlocked through the quest A Teapot to Call Home, which is available after reaching Adventure Rank 35 and completing the archon quest A New Star Approaches.
-
16Participate in web events. Every so often, miHoYo releases a special type of event known as a web event. You cannot participate in these events in-game- you must access it through a link sent to your in-game mail and log into the link with your miHoYo account.
- Compared to in-game events, these events are extremely easy. Typically, they only require you to visit the link daily and complete simple tasks, such as visiting miHoYo's social media pages.
