Genshin Chronicled Wish Fate Points: Do They Expire?

Liyue Chronicled Wish End Date & Timeline

Remembrance of Jade and Stone ran January 21 - February 11, 2026, following standard Chronicled Wish duration. These banners run entire versions without phases, unlike Character Event Wishes.

Version 6.0's Roving Chalice of Dewgrass ran September 10, 2026 (8:00am) to September 30, 2026 (5:59pm), showing exact timing structure. Check the in-game countdown timer (top-right of wish screen) for remaining time down to the second.

No grace periods exist. When countdown hits zero, the banner becomes inaccessible and Fate Points vanish permanently. For last-minute pulls, buffget offers fast Genshin Impact top up delivery to meet critical deadlines.

Official Banner Expiration (Server-Specific)

Each region follows its own timezone. Asia server ends first, then Europe, then America. Always verify your local time from in-game notices rather than community posts referencing different timezones.

Check Remaining Time In-Game

Access Wish menu → select Chronicled Wish. Countdown appears at top showing days/hours/minutes/seconds. The Details button shows full schedule in your server's timezone.

What Are Fate Points in Chronicled Wish?

Fate Points guarantee designated items on Chronicled Wish banners (introduced Version 4.5). When you pull a 5-star, you have 50% chance of getting one of your two designated choices (one character, one weapon selected before pulling).

If you lose the 50/50 and get a non-designated 5-star from the banner pool, you receive 1 Fate Point automatically.

Accumulating 1 Fate Point guarantees your next 5-star will be designated. The system caps at 1 Fate Point—once you reach it, your next 5-star is guaranteed designated, consuming the point.

Fate Points Mechanics

The counter displays as 0/1 or 1/1 on the Chronicled Wish screen. Each banner maintains independent Fate Points.

Version 6.0 Sumeru Chronicled Wish featured Wanderer, Tighnari, Alhaitham, Cyno, Nilou, and Dehya with six signature weapons. You select one character and one weapon as designated targets before pulling.

The 50% chance applies only to your first 5-star per banner. After losing once and gaining 1 Fate Point, your next 5-star becomes guaranteed designated—maximum two 5-star pulls to guarantee your choice.

Maximum Cap and Guarantee Trigger

System caps at 1 Fate Point. You can't save multiple points. Once you reach 1, the next 5-star automatically consumes it and delivers a designated item.

Fate Points vs Epitomized Path

Epitomized Path (weapon banners):

• Select one weapon only
• Accumulates up to 2 points
• Requires potentially three 5-stars to guarantee (two losses, then guaranteed)
• Expires when banner ends

Fate Points (Chronicled Wish):

• Select one character AND one weapon
• Accumulates to 1 point only
• Guarantees after two 5-stars maximum (one loss, then guaranteed)
• Expires when banner ends

Both use Intertwined Fate and maintain separate pity from Character Event Wishes and Standard Banner.

Critical: Fate Points Expire When Banner Ends

Fate Points reset to zero immediately when Chronicled Wish expires. Unlike pity, they don't carry over to next Chronicled Wish.

The game displays explicit warnings in banner Details stating points clear when current Chronicled Wish ends.

Confirmed: Fate Points Reset to Zero

Testing across multiple rotations confirms this. Players with 1 Fate Point on Liyue banner (January 21 - February 11, 2025) found counters reset to 0/1 when subsequent Chronicled Wishes appeared.

Version 5.6 Chronicled Wish featured Kamisato Ayaka, Kamisato Ayato, Yoimiya, Chiori, Yae Miko, Arataki Itto, Sangonomiya Kokomi, and Kaedahara Kazuha. Fate Points from this banner disappeared completely at expiration.

Reset occurs regardless of proximity to guaranteed pull. Even with 1 Fate Point and 89 pity (one pull from guaranteed 5-star), the Fate Point vanishes while pity carries over.

Why Fate Points Don't Transfer

Each Chronicled Wish features different regional character/weapon pools. Liyue banner included Liyue characters; Version 6.0 featured Sumeru characters exclusively. Version 6.4 Mondstadt Chronicled Wish expects Albedo, Diluc, Eula, Jean, Klee, and Mona.

Since you designate specific targets before pulling, and targets change completely between banners, the system can't logically transfer Fate Points. Your designated Liyue character becomes unavailable when Sumeru banner arrives, making previous Fate Points meaningless.

Common Misconceptions Debunked

Myth: Fate Points carry over like pity. Truth: Only base pity carries over. Fate Points always reset.

Myth: Fate Points convert to Starglitter or other currency. Truth: No conversion occurs—they simply disappear.

Myth: Buying Genesis Crystals before expiration locks in Fate Points. Truth: Only completed pulls count. Unused Fate Points vanish regardless of currency holdings.

What Happens to Pity After Liyue Chronicled Wish?

Pity counter carries over to next Chronicled Wish. If you reached 75 pulls on Liyue banner without a 5-star, those 75 transfer to the next Chronicled Wish.

Chronicled Wish maintains completely separate pity from Character Event Wishes and Epitome Invocation. Pulls on Liyue Chronicled Wish don't affect concurrent character banner pity.

Guarantee status persists: if your last 5-star was non-designated (lost 50/50), your next 5-star on any future Chronicled Wish will be designated from that new banner's pool. This guarantee carries over even though Fate Points don't.

Standard Pity vs Fate Points

Standard Pity:

• Cumulative pull counter
• Every pull without 5-star increases counter by 1
• Hard pity at 90 pulls
• Persists across banner rotations within same type

Fate Points:

• Binary system: 0 or 1
• Tracks failed 50/50 attempts, not total pulls
• Only increases when pulling non-designated 5-star
• Resets between banners

You could pull 180 times, get two designated 5-stars, and never accumulate a Fate Point (never lost 50/50).

Testing Results from Previous Rotations

Players documented pull history across Ode to the Dawn Breeze (March 13 - April 2, 2025) and subsequent Chronicled Wishes. Those at 60 pity on Ode to the Dawn Breeze started next Chronicled Wish at 60 pity, not 0.

Thunder Rends the Plains on High (May 27 - June 17, 2025) confirmed the pattern. Players maintained pity progress but lost all Fate Points.

How Pull History Carries Forward

The game tracks three elements for Chronicled Wish:

1. Total pulls since last 5-star (pity counter)
2. Guarantee status (whether next 5-star must be designated)
3. Fate Points (0 or 1)

When banner ends, system preserves #1 and #2 but resets #3 to 0. Your pull history page shows all previous pulls, maintaining continuity for persistent mechanics.

Strategic players can build pity on one Chronicled Wish and save it for future rotations with more desirable characters.

Last Chance Decision: Should You Pull?

Decision depends on Fate Points status, pity counter, available resources, and desire for featured characters. Players with 1 Fate Point face the most critical choice—that guarantee vanishes permanently at expiration.

For last-minute pulls, buffget provides competitive pricing and fast delivery when you buy Genesis Crystals, with secure transactions ensuring smooth experiences under time pressure.

Decision Tree: Players with 1 Fate Point

Have 1 Fate Point + want any designated character/weapon: Pull until you get guaranteed 5-star. Even at low pity (0-40), the guarantee is worth pursuing if you desire featured items.

Have 1 Fate Point + don't want remaining options: Stop pulling. Guarantee only helps if you want what it guarantees. Losing Fate Point is unfortunate, but pulling for unwanted items wastes more resources.

70+ pity with 1 Fate Point: Strongly consider pulling. You're in soft pity range where 5-star rates increase significantly. High pity + guaranteed designation = optimal value.

Strategy: High Pity + 1 Fate Point

Players with 1 Fate Point AND 80+ pity have near-certain guaranteed designated 5-star within 10 pulls. This is highest-pressure decision point.

Calculate whether you can reach hard pity (90 pulls) with available Primogems, Intertwined Fates, and emergency farming.

Emergency Primogem sources:

• Unclaimed Spiral Abyss rewards
• Incomplete character hangout events
• Unexplored areas with chests
• Achievement hunting
• Daily commission accumulation

Desperate players can often scrape together 10-20 pulls from these sources.

F2P Primogem Investment Analysis

Each pull costs 160 Primogems (or 1 Intertwined Fate). Hard pity from 0 requires 14,400 Primogems. F2P players accumulate ~50-60 pulls per version through events, dailies, and exploration.

Value depends on character strength and account needs. Meta-defining characters like Alhaitham or Nilou justify significant investment. Niche characters you'll never use don't.

Consider opportunity cost: Primogems spent on final Chronicled Wish pulls can't be used on upcoming Character Event Wishes. Review leaked banner schedules to assess whether future banners offer better value.

When to Stop Pulling

Stop if:

• You've obtained desired characters/weapons (avoid unwanted duplicates)
• Low pity (0-40) with no Fate Points and limited resources (expected cost: 60-70 pulls = 9,600-11,200 Primogems)
• Next Chronicled Wish features characters you want more (Version 6.4 Mondstadt with Eula, Diluc, Klee may appeal more)

Character Value Assessment

Liyue Chronicled Wish featured Liyue-associated characters. Version 6.0 Sumeru Chronicled Wish included Wanderer, Tighnari, Alhaitham, Cyno, Nilou, and Dehya—showing Chronicled Wish selection patterns.

Event-exclusive 5-stars enter Chronicled Wish pools after 3 limited runs on Character Event Wishes. This offers access to characters who haven't appeared on rate-up recently.

Rerun Probability

Chronicled Wish operates on regional rotation. Following Liyue, Version 6.0 Sumeru appeared, suggesting cycles through Teyvat regions. Expected Version 6.4 Mondstadt Chronicled Wish continues this pattern.

Liyue Chronicled Wish may not return for 6-9 months minimum, potentially longer if Fontaine, Natlan, Snezhnaya receive Chronicled Wish banners. Featured characters may still appear on standard Character Event Wish reruns, but without Chronicled Wish's focused pool.

Account Progression Impact

High value: Meta-relevant characters enabling new team compositions, significantly increasing damage output, or trivializing difficult content.

Lower value: Constellation-dependent characters. If a character requires C1/C2 to function optimally, obtaining C0 provides limited immediate benefit.

Collection value: For roster completion goals, any new character holds value regardless of meta standing.

Weapon Banner Considerations

Chronicled Wish allows designation of one character AND one weapon, but you can only guarantee one at a time. Version 6.0 featured Beacon of the Reed Sea, Hunter's Path, Key of Khaj-Nisut, Light of Foliar Incision, Staff of the Scarlet Sands, and Tulaytullah's Remembrance.

Weapons generally provide lower account value than characters. New character = new playstyles and team compositions. Weapon = typically 15-30% damage increase for one character.

However, signature weapons for main DPS characters can justify priority. If you own all desired characters from banner, designating a weapon becomes optimal.

Optimal Last-Day Pulling Strategies

Single pulls offer better control than 10-pulls when approaching pity or working with limited resources. Since 4-star items guarantee every 10 pulls and 5-stars follow independent probability, single pulls let you stop immediately upon getting desired results.

5-star base rate: 0.6%. Soft pity starts at pull 74 with significantly increased rates. Average rate across all pulls: 1.6%.

Single Pull vs 10-Pull Optimization

Use single pulls when:

• Within 20 pulls of hard pity (70+ counter)
• Prevents wasting pulls beyond 5-star acquisition
• Getting 5-star on pull 76 saves 4 pulls vs 10-pull reaching pull 80

Use 10-pulls when:

• Far from pity (0-50 counter) with abundant resources
• Time saved outweighs minor inefficiency
• 4-star guarantee aligns naturally with 10-pull batches
• Final hours with limited time (10-pulls execute faster, reducing deadline risk)

Primogem Emergency Farming

Spiral Abyss: Resets twice monthly. 600 Primogems for full completion (150 per floor, floors 9-12). Even partial completion yields significant rewards.

Character hangouts: 60 Primogems per ending, multiple endings per character. All endings for one character = 300+ Primogems. Requires 30-60 minutes per character.

Exploration achievements: Opening all chests in region, completing time trials, finding all Oculi grant achievement Primogems. Use interactive maps to locate remaining collectibles quickly.

Daily commissions: 60 Primogems per day (40 from four commissions, 20 from Katheryne claim).

Pity Tracking Before Deadline

Check wish history in-game: select Chronicled Wish → click History. Count pulls since last 5-star. History shows most recent 6 months.

External trackers can import wish history for automatic counting, but manually verify accuracy. Count backwards from most recent pull until reaching a 5-star.

Note guarantee status: last 5-star non-designated = next guaranteed designated. Last 5-star designated (or no 5-star on Chronicled Wish yet) = 50/50 status.

Avoid Common Last-Minute Mistakes

Don't confuse Chronicled Wish pity with Character Event Wish pity. Completely separate counters. 80 pity on Character Event Wish ≠ 80 pity on Chronicled Wish.

Don't assume more time than countdown shows. Server lag or connection issues can prevent final-second pulls. Complete intended pulls 5-10 minutes before expiration.

Don't pull on wrong banner in panic. Wish menu shows multiple banners. Verify you've selected Chronicled Wish before confirming pulls.

Don't expect Fate Points to carry over or hope for compensation. System works exactly as described, no exceptions.

Future Chronicled Wish Planning

Chronicled Wish follows regional rotation:

• Mondstadt (Ode to the Dawn Breeze, March 2025)
• Liyue (Remembrance of Jade and Stone, January-February 2025)
• Sumeru (Roving Chalice of Dewgrass, September 2025)
• Mondstadt again (Version 6.4, expected early 2026)

Version 6.4 Mondstadt Chronicled Wish expected to feature Albedo, Diluc, Eula, Jean, Klee, and Mona. Weapons: Aquila Favonia, Elegy for the End, Lost Prayer to the Sacred Winds, Skyward Atlas, Skyward Blade, Skyward Harp, Skyward Pride, Skyward Spine, Song of Broken Pines, and Wolf's Gravestone.

Expected Rotation Schedule

At ~3-4 month intervals between Chronicled Wishes:

• Mondstadt: Early 2026 (Version 6.4)
• Inazuma: Mid 2026
• Fontaine: Late 2026
• Return to Mondstadt: Early 2027

Each region's Chronicled Wish appears ~once per year. Missed opportunities are significant—characters you skip may not return on Chronicled Wish for 12+ months.

Prepare for Next Chronicled Wish

Save Intertwined Fates and Primogems during versions without Chronicled Wish if targeting specific regional characters. Full rotation from 0 pity to guaranteed designated 5-star requires maximum 180 pulls (28,800 Primogems) worst-case.

Realistically, expect 120-140 pulls to guarantee designated 5-star accounting for soft pity (19,200-22,400 Primogems).

Track missing characters from each region. If you need multiple Mondstadt characters, Mondstadt Chronicled Wish offers better value than waiting for individual Character Event Wish reruns.

Long-Term Resource Management

Allocate resources by priority:

1. Must-have characters for account progression (meta DPS, essential supports)
2. Desired characters for collection or playstyle preference
3. Weapons for existing characters
4. Constellation upgrades

Chronicled Wish fits tier 2-3 for most players. Focused regional pool excels at filling roster gaps, but Character Event Wishes offer better value for specific high-priority targets due to higher rate-up percentages.

Expected pulls per version:

• F2P: ~60-70 pulls
• Welkin Moon: ~80-90 pulls

Plan Chronicled Wish spending within these constraints while maintaining reserves for unexpected Character Event Wish banners.

FAQ: Fate Points Expiry

Do Fate Points expire when Liyue Chronicled Wish ends?

Yes. Fate Points reset to zero immediately when any Chronicled Wish expires. Liyue Chronicled Wish ended February 11, 2025, and all Fate Points disappeared permanently. This applies to all Chronicled Wish rotations—Fate Points never carry over.

What happens to unused Fate Points?

Unused Fate Points vanish with no compensation, conversion, or refund. No Primogems, Starglitter, or other currency provided. They disappear completely.

Does pity carry over to next Chronicled Wish?

Yes. Pity counter carries over to next Chronicled Wish. 75 pulls without 5-star on one banner = start next banner at 75 pity. Guarantee status (whether next 5-star must be designated) also carries over. Only Fate Points reset.

How many Fate Points do you need?

You need 1 Fate Point to guarantee your next 5-star will be designated. System caps at 1 maximum—you can't accumulate multiple. You receive 1 Fate Point when pulling a non-designated 5-star (losing 50/50).

When does Liyue Chronicled Wish end exactly?

Ended February 11, 2025. Exact time varies by server region, typically 5:59pm server time. Always check in-game countdown timer for your specific server's deadline.

Should I pull on last day?

Pull if you have 1 Fate Point and want designated items, or if you're at 70+ pity with sufficient resources to reach guaranteed 5-star. Don't pull if you're at low pity with no Fate Points unless you want any character from pool and accept 50/50 risk. Decision depends on: Fate Points status, pity counter, available resources, and desire for featured characters.
