Side by Side We Venture guide: Get free Primogems by playing with other adventurers in Genshin Impact 2.1

To celebrate the arrival of Genshin Impact's 2.1 update, miHoYo has announced a new web event where players will be able to earn both in-game rewards and physical prizes by venturing into Teyvat with other travellers.

This web event will be open to both old players restarting their adventure in this update, those who already have experience playing Genshin, and those who are joining the game for the first time. That said, let's find out all the details of how to participate in this event and get tons of free prizes below.

Side by Side We Venture: How to Enter

To be part of this event, you must have a miHoYo account, as well as a character created with an Adventure Rank 10 or above, on any of the main game servers.

Once you have everything ready, you must enter this website, which will take you to the page below. In case you play through PS4 or PS5, you will have to enter from the Mail section within the game’s menu.

You must log in to your account and select your current server and character. Depending on your most recent login and activity, you will be divided into one of three groups:

• New Adventurers: Players who joined after 1st September 2021.
• Returning Adventurers: Players who have Adventure Rank 10 or above, with at least 14 days since last game login and their last active "Stellar Reunion" event was over 45 days ago.
• Active Adventurers: Adventurers at Adventure Rank 10 or above who are neither new nor returning.

During the event period, all active adventurers must complete tasks, inviting up to four new adventurers and four returning adventurers to their party at the same time.

Returning adventurers and new adventurers who join the event through an invitation link will be deemed to have successfully been invited, and all players involved can obtain "Come and Get It ×3" instantly. New and returning adventurers can invite other players as well.

The quests you must complete will appear as a series of commissions assigned by the Adventurers’ Guild, with up to eight different tasks available at the same time. Daily Commissions will refresh each day at 4 am local time.

For commissions in the same series, previous ones must be completed before new quests are unlocked, and secret commissions will also be available from time to time.

Adventurers can, of their own accord, cancel trips with returning adventurers or new adventurers up to 20 times. However, after a trip has been cancelled, the commission progress made by the cancelled returning adventurer or new adventurer on the commission page will no longer continue, and adventurers whose trips were cancelled cannot be re-invited.

Side by Side We Venture: Prizes

Each time you and your party finish a commission, all of you will obtain Special and Common Vouchers, which you can use in the Giveaway section.

The Giveaway section will show you six random cards, of which you must pick one containing a random gift for you.

Based on the vouchers you used in the draw, you can get the following rewards: 

Special Vouchers

• iPad 8th Generation Wireless LAN Model 128 GB (Random Color) × 1
• Paimon Food Theme Blind Box (Full Set) ×1
• Primogems ×100

Common Vouchers

• Hero's Wit ×5
• Mystic Enhancement Ore ×10
• Mora ×50,000

The in-game prizes will be sent in the next 10 minutes to your game account, but if you win a special prize, an “Enter Address” button will popup, where you have to provide your personal contact details to receive your gift at home. Take care of this, as you can only provide your address and contact details once.

Physical gifts are expected to be dispatched during October, while miHoYo will send all tracking details to the players by email. After 12th October 2021, it will no longer be possible to provide your address and contact details, in case you won something.

The “Side by Side We Venture” web event will be available from 1st September to 12th October 2021, while the Gift Draws will be available until 7th October.
