The Genesis Crystal Economy
Genesis Crystals convert 1:1 into Primogems, the pull currency in Genshin Impact. The key to efficiency is not just how much you buy, but when.
How the First-Purchase Bonus Works
Each denomination gets a double bonus the first time you buy it, and HoYoverse resets this bonus in anniversary patches. Buying every denomination once before the reset is the highest-value move.
Banner Planning
1.Save for the character banner — Don't pull on every banner
2.Top up before a new banner so primos are ready
3.Wait for the bonus reset (usually around the anniversary)
4.Use Welkin Moon as your baseline monthly value
Spending Tiers
Topping up through ArcadePay typically saves 20% versus in-app, which compounds over a full patch cycle.
