Genshin Impact Primogem Guide: priority table | August 2026
Updated on 2026-08-14: Version 7.0 (Snezhnaya) runs August 12 to September 23. F2P players who clear the patch bank about 15,080 Primogems plus Fates, or ~94 limited pulls. Welkin Moon adds 90 Primogems a day.
Do the list in this order. Events vanish. Archon Quest and Story Quests stay. Exploration takes hours, so it waits until the timers are gone.
Priority | Source | Version 7.0 payout | Why it sits here |
|---|
1 | Limited events + Stygian Onslaught | ~2,430 Primogems | The calendar deletes them. Mutual Aid in Bloom ends August 24. Stygian Onslaught opens August 19. The main Snezhnaya event starts August 28 (~920 Primogems plus a free Diona). |
2 | Archon Quest | ~560 Primogems + 2 Intertwined Fates | Highest quest payout. The chapters also drop chests, waypoints, and achievements while you walk. |
3 | Character Story Quests | Part of ~450 Primogems from story and world quests | Linear. Five-star quests finish in one pass. Four-star Hangouts need extra endings. |
4 | Exploration + offerings | ~3,870 Primogems + 6 Acquaint Fates | Biggest pile, slowest clock. Start in Snezhnaya. Mondstadt and Liyue Common Chests often skip Primogems. |
Recurring | Daily Commissions | 2,520 (60 × 42 days) | Floor income. Events that grant Adventure EXP can cover the daily quota so you skip Katheryne. |
Recurring | Spiral Abyss | 1,600 across two resets | Floors 9 to 12. Clear the floors you can finish. Floor 12 is bonus stars. |
Recurring | Imaginarium Theater | 1,000 | One Visionary reset in this patch. |
Recurring | Paimon's Bargains | 5 Intertwined Fates (800 Primogem-equivalent) | Stardust shop. Buy before the monthly reset. |
Mail / codes | Maintenance, HoYoLAB, Test Runs | 600 + 100 + 80 | Mail after the August 12 downtime. Check-in on HoYoLAB. 20 Primogems per Test Run. |
Last | Achievements | ~545 | Co-op boss kills and region series. Farm these when the map is dry. |
F2P total for the full patch: ~15,080 Primogems and extra Fates (~94 limited pulls). Welkin Moon adds 3,780 Primogems over 42 days (~118 pulls). Welkin plus Battle Pass lands near 139 pulls.
Hard pity is 90. Soft pity starts around 74. A featured guarantee after a lost 50/50 is 180 pulls (28,800 Primogems). 94 F2P pulls cover one 5-star if you already hold a guarantee. They do not cover a cold 50/50 plus a second pity. Run the math against How to Save 180 Pulls for Snezhnaya before you tap Wish.
Prerequisites before you farm
Two setup jobs save more time than any chest route.
Build a traversal team. You want one damage dealer, one Pyro or Geo unit that breaks rocks and shields, and two swap-skills that move you. The lineup that covers Snezhnaya terrain:
Kazuha: party sprint stamina −15%
Furina: heal plus water walk
Yelan: damage plus the Lifeline dash
Mavuika: Pyro, damage, and the flame-steed for Natlan leftover puzzles
Yelan and Mavuika both move and hit, so they stay in the four even if you swap the other two. Hu Tao / Yelan / Xingqiu / Zhongli still melts bosses if you need Abyss stars more than map speed.
Light the map. Open black tiles and grab Teleport Waypoints in the new nation first. You will bounce across Snezhnaya for events, Archon chapters, and chest clusters. You hike if those waypoints stay locked.
If you still owe Natlan's finale, finish the Archon chain before you expect 7.0 story locks to open. The Snezhnaya prep checklist lists the gates.
How to farm Primogems in one sitting
Step 1: Open Events. Clear the Primogem tracks that expire this week. On a large event, play the gameplay stages the moment the story unlocks them. Story chapters pay about 30 Primogems each and take longer, so park them after the timer-safe rewards. New-area and new-character bonuses (early exploration, Story Quest launch windows) wait until those tracks are done.
Step 2: Push Archon Quest until Adventure Rank or the current act stops you. Claim the Intertwined Fates at the chapter clear.
Step 3: Run five-star Story Quests you still hold. Zhongli's quest still unlocks Azhdaha if that domain is missing on the account. Hangouts wait. They need multiple endings for the full 60 Primogems.
Step 4: Explore Snezhnaya with World Quests on. World Quests open hidden rooms, oculi, and chest clusters you cannot see from the overworld. After the quest log is empty, open the official HoYoverse Teyvat Interactive Map. Filter Precious and Luxurious Chests, Time Trials, oculi, and Shrines of Depths. Work one cluster, then teleport. Stay inside that grid.
Step 5: Dump sigils into the new Snezhnaya offering tree, then older fountains and statues you skipped. Fountain of Lucine still pays Acquaint Fates on leftover Hydro Sigils.
Step 6: Spend remaining stamina on Spiral Abyss, Imaginarium Theater, and Stygian Onslaught (150 Primogems on each of the first three difficulties, 450 total). Then hunt co-op achievements: Hydro Hypostasis, Signora, Golden Wolflord, Raiden Shogun, Ruin Serpent, Electro Regisvine.

How to get more Primogems after the free cap
Cluster the official map. Precious Chests, Luxurious Chests, Time Trials, oculi, and Shrine keys. Mark a grid, clear it, teleport out. 100% of an old region is a vanity number. Efficiency stops before the last Seelie.
Offerings you already hold. Hydro Sigils, Lumenspar, Sacred Sakura, Tree of Dreams, Tablet of Tona. Spend the pile. Those ranks pay Fates and Mora.
Endgame resets. Abyss on the 1st and 16th. Theater when the season flips. Stygian Onslaught through September 22 this cycle.
Welkin Moon. 300 Genesis Crystals on purchase, then 90 Primogems a day for 30 days. Across a 42-day patch that is 24 extra pulls. Buy it on BitTopup's Genshin Impact page if you already log in daily.
First-time Crystal packs. Genesis Crystals convert 1:1 to Primogems. The first purchase of each tier doubles the crystals. Use that bonus when you sit 10 to 20 pulls from a guarantee on Odette. Pity math lives in the Genesis Crystals cost guide.
Need the last 20 pulls before Odette leaves Phase 1? Top up Genesis Crystals on BitTopup, convert 1:1 in the shop, and keep Intertwined Fates on the Event Wish. Skip the Standard banner.
FAQ
How many Primogems can F2P players get in Genshin Impact 7.0?
About 15,080 Primogems plus Intertwined and Acquaint Fates if you finish events, Snezhnaya exploration, commissions, and both Abyss resets. That is ~94 limited pulls. Phase 1 alone (through the first banner swap) sits closer to 11,000 to 12,000 Primogems, or ~70 pulls, if you rush the new map.
What is the fastest way to get Primogems in Version 7.0?
Clear Events and Stygian Onslaught first. Then Archon Quest, then Story Quests, then Snezhnaya chests on the official interactive map. Commissions run in the background. Exploration of Mondstadt can wait. The 7.0 F2P banner budget is the same planning habit on an older patch: count pulls before you spend them.
Do Mondstadt and Liyue chests still give Primogems?
Many Common Chests in those two nations pay Mora and artifacts only. Start in Snezhnaya, then Natlan, Fontaine, Sumeru, Inazuma. Work backward. If you are in a time crunch, take Precious Chests, Luxurious Chests, Time Trials, and oculi. Leave buried Common Chests.
Is Blessing of the Welkin Moon worth it for Primogems?
If you log in 30 days, Welkin is the cheapest Primogem per dollar HoYoverse sells. 90 a day plus 300 crystals on day one. Pair it with the free list above. Crystal packs make sense when first-time bonuses are live or you need a small gap filled. See the F2P vs Welkin pull budget for the same split on a prior version.
How many Primogems do you need to guarantee a 5-star?
28,800 Primogems (180 pulls) covers a lost 50/50 and a second hard pity. Soft pity around pull 74 to 82 is the usual 5-star. An existing guarantee needs 90 pulls at worst. Check pity in Wish History before you buy crystals. If Odette is the target, the Odette build and pull page is the roster check.
Conclusion
This Genshin Impact Primogem Guide queues the work: events, Archon Quest, Story Quests, then the new map. Version 7.0 pays about 15,080 free Primogems if you finish that queue. With a guarantee you can bank a featured 5-star. Without one, 94 pulls still leave a 50/50. Come back when the 7.1 livestream drops new codes. If the banner math still sits 10 to 20 pulls short, convert Genesis Crystals from BitTopup and keep the Fates on the Event Wish.
