Genshin Impact 6.4 Primogems Guide: 91 Free Pulls March 2026

Understanding Intertwined Fates: Limited Banner Currency

Intertwined Fates are the exclusive currency for character event wishes. Unlike Acquaint Fates (standard banner), these determine your ability to acquire time-limited characters.

Conversion rate: 160 Primogems = 1 Intertwined Fate. This fixed ratio forms the foundation of all wish planning.

For supplemental resources when F2P income falls short, Genshin Impact top up offers secure Genesis Crystal purchases that convert directly to primogems.

The Pity System

• Hard pity: 90 pulls guarantees a 5-star
• Soft pity: Starts at pull 74, dramatically increasing rates
• Realistic benchmark: Most players get 5-stars between pulls 75-82

50/50 Mechanic:

• First 5-star on any character banner: 50% chance of featured character
• Losing coinflip: Next 5-star guaranteed featured character
• Maximum for guarantee: 180 pulls

Pity carries across banner rotations. 60 pulls on Varka's banner without a 5-star means those 60 pulls transfer to Skirk's banner.

Complete Primogem Income Sources

F2P players accessing all sources can accumulate 14,540 Primogems (91 Intertwined Fates) from mid-January through March 17, 2026.

Daily Commissions

• 60 Primogems daily after Adventure Rank 12
• 25 days = 1,500 Primogems (~9 Fates)
• Requires 15-20 minutes daily
• Most reliable income stream

Active Redemption Codes

430 total Primogems (expires February 16, 2026):

• Homeward: 100 Primogems
• VarkaArrives: 100 Primogems
• Four additional codes: 230 Primogems

Redeem at official portal (Adventure Rank 10+). Zero gameplay required—nearly 3 free pulls.

Spiral Abyss: Primary Fate Source

600 Primogems per reset (36 stars on Floors 9-12). Resets on 1st and 16th monthly.

Critical resets for 6.4 Phase 1:

• January 16, 2026: 600 Primogems

Realistic performance:

Pro tip: Calculate based on your historical performance, not aspirational goals. A 200-primogem shortfall across two resets can cost critical pulls.

Team investment: Focus on versatile supports (Bennett, Xingqiu, Fischl) for consistent clears over DPS-only builds.

February 16-23, 2026 Ley Line Overflow event doubles Blossom rewards—efficient artifact farming window.

Lantern Rite Event: Maximum Primogem Concentration

January 30 - February 23, 2026

Combined: ~20 total pulls—nearly 25% of soft pity resources.

Requirements: Adventure Rank 28 + specific Archon Quests. Prioritize story progression in early January if below threshold.

Step-by-Step Calculation Method

Step 1: Inventory Current Resources

• Existing Intertwined Fates
• Current Primogems
• Current pity count (check wish history)
• Next 5-star status (guaranteed or 50/50)

Step 2: Calculate Guaranteed Income

• Daily commissions: 60 × days until banner expires
• Spiral Abyss: 600 × resets before banner end (adjust for personal clear rate)
• Active codes: 430 (if redeemed before Feb 16)
• Lantern Rite: 1,600 Primogems + 10 Fates

Step 3: Add Variable Sources

• Version events: 300-420 Primogems per major event
• Exploration: One-time primogems from new areas
• Maintenance: ~300 Primogems per version

Step 4: Convert and Total

• Sum all Primogems
• Divide by 160 for Intertwined Fates
• Add direct Fate rewards
• Add current pity for total pulls toward next 5-star

Real Example: F2P Targeting Varka

Starting Position (January 15, 2026):

• Primogems: 2,400
• Fates: 5
• Pity: 23 pulls
• Status: 50/50

Guaranteed Income (through March 17):

• Daily commissions (62 days): 3,720
• Spiral Abyss (2 resets, 30 stars): 1,000
• Codes: 430
• Lantern Rite: 1,600 + 10 Fates
• Version events: 1,200

Total:

• Primogems: 10,350 ÷ 160 = 64 pulls
• Direct Fates: 15
• Available: 79 pulls
• With pity: 102 total pulls

Outcome: Reaches soft pity with 28 pulls remaining. Faces 50/50 risk. Losing coinflip leaves 46 pulls short of 180-pull guarantee.

Stardust Shop: 5 Monthly Fates

Paimon's Bargains offers 5 Intertwined Fates for 375 Masterless Stardust monthly.

Stardust generation:

• 3-star weapon: 15 Stardust
• One 10-pull: ~120-135 Stardust
• Three 10-pulls monthly: Covers 375 requirement

Purchase at month start to prevent forgetfulness. Prioritize over Acquaint Fates.

Common Calculation Mistakes

Overestimating Abyss Income Budget for lowest recent performance, not best. 100-200 primogem overestimation per reset compounds to 2-3 pull deficits.

Ignoring Banner Duration Cross-reference Abyss reset dates with banner end times. March 16 reset falls within Phase 1; April 1 reset is useless for Varka/Flins.

Forgetting Pity Carryover Pity persists across all character event banners indefinitely. Your 40 pulls on previous banners reduce current banner requirements.

Note: Pity doesn't transfer between banner types. Character, weapon, and standard banners maintain separate pity.

Advanced Income Maximization

Exploration Completion Fontaine's complete exploration: 8,000-10,000 Primogems. Systematic chest routes in unexplored areas generate 500-1,000 Primogems in a weekend.

Achievement Hunting 5-20 Primogems per achievement. Focus on easy completions: domain clears, cooking recipes, fishing milestones.

Character Trials 20 Primogems per trial. 40 Primogems per version (two banners). Takes 5-10 minutes, zero resource investment.

Battle Pass and Welkin Moon Impact

Gnostic Hymn: 4 Fates + 680 Primogems = 8 pulls per version ($10)

Welkin Moon: 90 daily Primogems + 300 Genesis Crystals = 3,300 monthly Primogems (20.6 Fates for $5)

Welkin from Jan 15 - March 17 (62 days): 5,580 Primogems (34.8 Fates)

Combined with F2P example: 102 → 137 total pulls—exceeds soft pity with substantial progress toward guarantee.

Version 6.4 Character Analysis

Varka: Anemo claymore, potential Viridescent Venerer support with crowd control. Fills gaps for players lacking Kazuha/Venti.

Flins: Electro polearm, likely Electro-Charged or Hyperbloom synergy.

Skirk & Escoffier: Both Cryo, different weapons (sword/polearm) suggest differentiated roles.

Evaluate roster gaps before committing. Well-built 4-stars often outperform under-invested 5-stars.

Emergency Primogem Sources

Unused Hangout Events: 60 Primogems per hangout. Five incomplete = 300 Primogems (~2 pulls)

Spiral Abyss Optimization: Players at 33 stars can reach 36 through team optimization—100-200 primogem recovery per reset

Teapot Realm Currency: Purchase Transient Resin for Ley Line runs, accelerating character building for Abyss performance

FAQ

How many Intertwined Fates can F2P players get before Phase 1 ends? Approximately 91 Fates (14,540 Primogems) from mid-January through March 17, 2026. Includes two Abyss resets (1,200), Lantern Rite (1,600 + 10 Fates), daily commissions (3,720 for 62 days), codes (430), and events.

What's the primogem to Fate conversion rate? 160 Primogems = 1 Intertwined Fate. Fixed rate, never changes.

How many wishes guarantee a specific featured 5-star? Maximum 180 pulls. First 5-star (within 90): 50% featured. Losing coinflip guarantees next 5-star (within 90) is featured. Soft pity at 74 means most get 5-stars at pulls 75-82.

When do Abyss resets occur in early 2026? January 16 and February 1, 2026. Each provides 600 Primogems (36 stars). Both fall before 6.4 launch.

Should I convert Primogems immediately? Convert only when ready to wish. Unconverted Primogems retain flexibility for weapon/standard banners. Conversion locks to character event wishes only.

How does Lantern Rite contribute to March prep? 1,600 Primogems + 10 Fates = ~20 pulls. Nearly 25% of soft pity resources.
