How Many Primogems Can You Earn Per Month in Genshin Impact?
Whether you're saving for a specific character or just curious, knowing your monthly Primogems income is the foundation of any pull plan. Here's the full breakdown.
The baseline (F2P)
A free-to-play player earns roughly 6,000-7,000 Primogems per month in Genshin Impact, from:
- **Dailies**: 1,800/month (60/day)
- **Events**: 2,400-2,600 per patch, prorated monthly
- **Endgame modes**: 1,200-1,600/month for full clears
- **Free battle pass**: 800 equivalent (5 pulls)
- **Maintenance & streams**: ~900/month
That's about 40-45 pulls per month — enough for one 5★ every other month.
With the $5 monthly pass
The Genshin Impact monthly pass (~$5) adds 3,000 Primogems/month (90/day + 300 upfront). Total jumps to roughly 9,000-10,000 Primogems ≈ 60+ pulls/month.
Per patch (42 days)
A standard patch gives about 1.4× the monthly figure:
- F2P: ~10,000-11,000 Primogems ≈ 62-68 pulls
- With pass: ~14,000 Primogems ≈ 87 pulls
What that means for pity
- **90 pulls = hard pity**: at ~42 pulls/month (F2P), that's roughly one pity cycle every 2 months
- **{hard * 2} pulls = guaranteed featured**: 2-3 months of saving as F2P
- Events, new exploration zones and anniversary rewards can add 2,000-5,000 extra
