Genshin Impact came out on the 28th September and in just a few short weeks has taken the gaming world by storm. Millions upon millions of players all around the world are playing the free-to-play action RPG title, which is available on PS4, Switch, Android, iOS and PC.<\/p>\n
Chinese developer miHoYo created a fantastic open-world game for players to explore completely free, but if you want to unlock a bunch of cool new things to make your experience even more exciting, you will need to purchase wishes, the main monetization system in the game.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Wishes allow you to purchase new items and characters, and they function like a typical gacha system, you roll a “wish” and then see what you got.<\/p>\n
Genshin Impact currently features 9 different currencies, from basic to exclusively premium. Most of them are in some way connected to the gacha system of Wishes, but not all of them.<\/p>\n
In order to properly understand how this system works, you will need to know what each currency does, and how can you earn and spend them.<\/p>\n
Mora is the most basic Genshin Impact currency, it is the equivalent of “money” in the game’s world.<\/p>\n
You can earn Mora by doing various activities while playing the game, just like “gold” in your typical RPG.<\/p>\n
Some examples:<\/p>\n
Wishes (Banners) are the gacha system in Genshin Impact. You can look at them as packs with rewards.<\/p>\n
You can use a Standard Wish<\/strong> with Acquaint Fate <\/strong>and Event Wishes <\/strong>with Intertwined Fate.<\/strong><\/p>\n Wishes allow you to unlock randomized characters and items of various Stars (levels).<\/p>\n Genesis Crystals is Genshin Impact’s premium currency.<\/p>\n You can obtain them only by purchasing them with real-world money.<\/p>\n You can buy them either bundled with Primogems or in separate bundles.<\/p>\n The first time you buy Genesis Crystals you will get double the amount as a reward.<\/p>\n Genesis Crystals have no other purpose but to spend them on Primogems<\/strong>, where 1 Genesis Crystals <\/strong>equal 1 Primogem.<\/strong><\/p>\n These are the current Genesis Crystals bundle prices in USD:<\/p>\n The $29.99 bundle offers the best value per Crystals, albeit very small (0.1c savings per crystal).<\/p>\n Primogem is probably the single most important currency in the game.<\/p>\n Their main purpose is to purchase Fates (Wishing Currency) or to level up your Battle Pass.<\/p>\n You can buy Acquaint and Intertwined Fates<\/strong> for 160 Primogems per Fate, or purchase a Battle Pass level up<\/strong> for 150 Primogems.<\/p>\n Primogem is both a premium and a quest reward currency, which means that you can obtain them either with real money or by playing the game and completing quests.<\/p>\nWhat are Genesis Crystals and how can you obtain them?<\/h2>\n
