How to Get Wishes in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact is a game based on the “Gacha system” – making Wishes and getting random rewards. These rewards range from various weapons to different playable characters. As you’d expect, the best and the most sought-after items are the ones that are the rarest.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to get Wishes in Genshin Impact in different ways and across all platforms.

How to Get Wishes in Genshin Impact

There are two items that you can use to obtain Wishes. One is called the Intertwined Fate, and the other – the Acquaint Fate. Without these items, you can’t get Wishes. If you don’t have these items, though, you can buy them using Genesis Crystals or Primogems.

If your goal is constant improvement, you’re going to want to get new weapons and characters. To do this, you need to own enough Primogems to buy Fates. Genshin Impact doesn’t have a simple progress system.

How to Get Wishes in Genshin Impact Fast

The quickest way to get wishes in Genshin Impact is to pay for them. Although Genshin Impact is a F2P (Free-to-Play) game, you can make certain purchases. The Blessing of the Welkin Moon card will set you back $4.99, and give you 300 Genesis Crystals and 90 Primogems per day over the period of 30 days. You can convert Genesis Crystals into Primogems and purchase Wishes.

160 Primogems will buy you one Wish, so take this into account when doing your math.

As with most online games, using real-life money in Genshin Impact is the easiest and quickest way to get upgrades and boost your progress.

When you’ve reached the Adventure Rank 20, you get a lot of new options. One of these is the ability to buy a premium Battle Pass, which gets you significant quantities of Primogems.

How to Get Wishes in Genshin Impact Free

If you aren’t inclined to pay real money for what is essentially an advanced game progress currency, there are always ways to do it for free. Here are some of them.

Play the Game

Genshin Impact rewards you for playing the game – by simply playing it. Adventure Ranks 5 and 13, for instance, will grant you a free wish. Other levels award you free Primogems, which you can use to make various purchases inside the game. All of these rewards are collected from the Mondstadt-based Adventurer’s Guild receptionist, Katheryne.

Then, there’s the Adventurer Guild experience. Open the Adventurer’s Handbook and navigate to the Experience tab. Complete these tasks for extra Primogems. Keep in mind, that you aren’t getting paid for individual tasks. Complete the whole chapter, though, and you get 50 Primogems.

Primogems are also collected by means of completing events. For instance, most quests will land you with a reward. There are also daily commissions, found in the Adventurer’s Guild.

You can also find Primogems in various chests, so be sure to open them. To find treasure chests, look for dancing blue spirits (Mysterious Seelie). Bear in mind that you’re going to have to complete challenges before opening some treasure chests.

Primogems are also collected by finding Domains, Teleport Waypoints, and Statues of the Seven. Fortunately, you can see these on your map at all times, so there’s no need to go around searching for them.

Finally, completing achievements gets you Primogems. Go to the game’s main menu and navigate to the Achievements tab. There are 14 different categories.

Redeemable Codes

Another free way to get free Wishes is going around Genshin Impact forums and looking for redeemable codes. If you happen to find a redeemable code, just go to the official Genshin Impact website and navigate to the Redeem Code tab. This way, you get free rewards directly transferred to your account.

Event Rewards

Seeing as how Genshin Impact is still a relatively new game, they are offering a lot of free event rewards. Each day, go to your inbox (always check your spam folder) and see if there are any rewards that you can claim. You’d be surprised at how often you’ll stumble upon a bonus.

Getting Wishes on Various Platforms

Genshin Impact is a game that’s available on PC, PS4, Android, and iOS systems. However, this doesn’t mean that you have to use only one platform when playing. The game introduces the cross-saves feature, which means you can go back-and-forth between playing on your tablet, mobile, and PC. Unfortunately, the PS4 version of the game doesn’t offer cross-saves.

Why does this matter? Well, given this cross-saves compatibility, it should be clear that the methods of getting Wishes are the same across all platforms. Even on PS4, the principle of getting Wishes (or purchasing them) is the same.
