Completing a character’s favorite furniture set
Do you like building and collecting? Well, how about doing it in Genshin using Serenitea Pot furniture?
This housing feature lets players purchase furnishing blueprints to build a specific character’s favorite set. Once the furnishing set is complete, travelers can place the character on the set as a companion and talk to them to receive gifts.
Aside from Primogems, players can obtain Mora and talent level-up materials.
Playing Genshin Impact TCG
Version 3.3’s newest game mode, the Genshin Impact TCG, offers free Primogems as one of its rewards.
As you gain player experience and level up, you’ll receive other in-game items as well like new cards and lucky coins, which you can exchange for more cards.

Participating in limited-time in-game and web events
The annual grand event in Liyue, Lantern Rite Festival, gives tons of rewards to players including free Primogems, Mora, and Hero’s Wit. In 2021, the web event “Wish Upon A Lantern”, in particular, even had the whole community joining in as HoYoverse gave away a billion Primogems split among players.
Each player claimed 108 to 288 Primogems with just a few clicks after the event.

Doing Daily Commission Quests
If you’ve been playing the game since its launch in 2020 and are now at Genshin Impact World Level 8, you are probably done with all World Quests and Story Quests. However, you can still earn Primogems through the Daily Commission Quests which refresh every single day.
There are four Daily Commission Quests which give 10 Primogems each. An additional 20 Primogems await you at the Adventurer’s Guild after completing all four quests. You can get a total of 60 Primogems a day just by doing the dailies. In a month, you can get a maximum of 1,860 Primogems which is more than enough for one 10x Wish. Now that’s basic Genshin math!
Check in through the HoYoLAB Daily Check-In
HoYoLAB is HoYoverse’s official community hub where players can post Genshin Impact photos, stories, questions, and even publish their own fan art.
The site’s Check-In feature lets you claim all sorts of free stuff, from Wish essentials like Primogems to the in-game currency, Mora.
By checking in for a whole month, you can get a total of 60 Primogems, 67,000 Mora, and 16x Fine Enhancement Ore for free!

Opening chests
If you haven’t explored Teyvat at 100%, you are missing out on a lot of Primogems from opening chests. These are the four types of chests in Genshin Impact and the number of Primogems that they yield:
- Common chest – 0 to 2 Primogems
- Exquisite chest – 2 to 5 Primogems
- Precious chest – 5 Primogems
- Luxurious chest – 10 to 40 Primogems
You can find chests hidden around Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru, locked by mechanisms or enemies, and sometimes by completing missions.
Redeeming Genshin Impact codes
The easiest way to get free Primogems in Genshin Impact is through redemption codes.
To thank all the players and fans for their support, HoYoverse gives out freebies every once in a while in the form of codes. These codes are usually revealed during official Genshin Impact livestreams or through social media events and can be redeemed through the game’s website.
