Wishes are the main way to unlock new characters and weapons in Genshin Impact. But they can be expensive if you don’t have enough Primogems. Fortunately, there are several ways for players to earn free Wishes and Fates just by playing the game and completing regular activities.
One of the easiest ways to get free Wishes is by leveling up your Adventure Rank and progressing through the game. As you reach certain milestones, you’ll receive rewards that include Acquaint Fates, which can be used on the Standard Banner. You can also earn Fates by leveling characters, completing quests, and participating in special events.
Limited-time events are one of the best sources of free Wishes and Primogems. Major events often reward players with Primogems, Intertwined Fates, and other valuable items for completing simple challenges. If you check the events menu regularly, you won’t miss out on rewards that are only available for a limited time.
The Spiral Abyss, Imaginarium Theater, and other endgame activities can also provide free primogems that can be converted into Wishes. While these challenges can be difficult for newer players, building strong teams over time will allow you to earn more rewards with each reset.
Finally, remember that Primogems earned from Daily Commissions, exploration, achievements, and quests can all be turned into Wishes. By playing consistently and saving your resources, even free players can collect enough Wishes to obtain powerful characters without spending money. But if you want to spend money, I won’t stop you.
