Primogems are the most coveted item in Genshin Impact. It’s the currency you use to obtain the character or weapon of your dreams from the game’s gacha system.
However, collecting Primogems is a challenging feat for F2P players. Hoyoverse gives out a minimal amount of 1800 Primogems through commissions each month, which clearly isn’t enough to hit even the soft pity on any banner.
But fear not! You can always expand your Primogems stash by farming from other avenues and saving up your Intertwined Fates.
World Quests tell the stories of in-game NPCs, unlike Archon Quests. NPCs who assign World Quests usually have a blue exclamation mark on top of their heads.
Inazuma’s World Quests are most generous with their Primogems rewards compared to quests from other regions.
But if you need a lot of Primogems urgently, try out Sumeru’s Aranyaka quest. It offers a reward of a whopping 1000+ Primogems upon completion.
Spiral Abyss is technically considered late-game content. But any player above Adventure Rank 25 can challenge the first few floors if they have eight well-built characters.
The first eight floors can be attempted only once. Nearly 2400 Primogems can be obtained if you achieve 9 stars for every floor.
Floors 9–12 have a higher difficulty, but these floors reset fortnightly. If you hit 3 stars on every chamber of each floor, you can easily grab 600 Primogems every cycle.
Genius Invokation is much more beginner-friendly than other trading card games since your opponent is simple A.I., rather than actual humans.
Player EXP is rewarded after winning every match against NPCs or other playable characters. Once you have enough EXP, you will level up and get 60 Primogems per level.
Besides the leveling-up rewards, Genius Invokation’s Player’s Manual grants a bonus reward of 240 Primogems upon completion.
Once you collect all the oculi of a particular region, the next task on your to-do list is ‘hitting the 100% exploration mark in every region’. The more treasure chests you open in a certain region, the more the exploration percentage increases.
Chests can give around 2–10 Primogems, depending on their rarity. Inazuma’s chests are more valuable than chests of other regions, so explore this region first.
Avoid wasting your time on hunting every chest by using a Treasure Compass to track chest locations.
Besides Primogems, chests give out an additional bonus, namely, Sigils. Electro Sigils and Dendro Sigils can level up Inazuma’s Sacred Sakura and Sumeru’s Tree of Dreams respectively.
These trees don’t hand out Primogems. But they reward you with something even better — Acquaint and Intertwined Fates. You can get 10 Acquaint Fates and 10 Intertwined Fates in total after leveling up both trees completely.
Everyone knows about the Trust Rank bonuses in Serenitea Pot. But very few players know about the Companion Set bonus.
The Companion Set bonus can be acquired by placing a certain character inside their preferred furniture set. Then, engage in a friendly chat with your character to get 20 Primogems.
Around 500+ Primogems are guaranteed if you place every character you have inside their favorite set.
Web Events are small, promotional mini-games that promote the current or next patch events. You can access these events through the ‘Events’ section in the launch menu or through the Hoyolab app.
Web Events typically give out 100–120 Primogems upon completion. They are fairly easy to do, so they don’t take up too much of your time.
Nearly every character in Genshin has their own character-specific quests. 5-star characters have Character Quests, while 4-star characters have Hangout Events. Both types of quests are story-oriented in some manner.
These events are time-consuming, but the 60 Primogems reward per quest is definitely worth it.
As we established earlier, completing commissions daily can give you 1800 Primogems every month. Though it might feel like a negligible amount, every Primogem counts when you are a F2P player.
Hoyoverse rolls out three to four events every patch. Usually, each patch has one long story-oriented event and several shorter events.
Popular events like Lantern Rite and Ludi Harpastam always give out an ample amount of Primogems. Ensure that you always complete these events before they expire.
