Genshin Impact: Primogems Calculation Version 5.3

Here is the estimation for Primogems one can obtain in Genshin Impact version 5.3! The first thing you need to know is that version 5.3 will have a duration of 42 days, starting from January 1, 2025, to February 12, 2025. Remember that this is speculation based on the previous versions’ events and gameplay, and by no means official!

How to Get 11020/15480 Primogems in Genshin Impact Version 5.3

From the infographic I created above, F2P players will get around 11030 Primogems, 21 Acquaint Fates, and 15 Intertwined Fates. On the other hand, P2P players will get even more with the addition of Gnostic Hymn and Welkin, resulting in a total of 15480 Primogems, 25 Acquaint Fates, and 15 Intertwined Fates.

Game Update Compensation

The update maintenance for version 5.3 will begin on January 1 at 06:00 AM (UTC+8) based on the previous maintenance update, and once the maintenance is complete, all players will get 600 Primogems from their in-game mail. You have lots of time to claim it because it will expire in 29 days.

Daily Commissions

Now for the usual stuff, since we will have 42 days in version 5.3, multiply that by 60 Primogems per day, and you will get a total of 2520 Primogems. Of course, that is if you manage to do all the commissions without skipping a day.

Paimon's Bargain

For Paimon's Bargain, I include the Fates you can buy from both January and February, so you can get a total of 10 Acquaint Fates and 10 Intertwined Fates from Paimon's Bargain Shop.

Spiral Abyss + Imaginarium Theater

There are 2 cycles of Spiral Abyss and 1 cycle of Imaginarium Theater in version 5.3. As usual, Spiral Abyss and Theater will give 800 Primogems per cycle, so you will get a total of 2400 Primogems in one version.

Battle Pass

There are 2 types of Battle Pass here: Sojourner's Battle Pass (Free) and Gnostic Hymn (Paid). Obviously, both give different rewards.
✦ Sojourner's Battle Pass - 5 Acquaint Fates
✦ Gnostic Hymn - 4 Intertwined Fates & 680 Primogems

Blessing of the Welkin Moon

Another P2P option is where you will get 90 Primogems daily for 30 days. If you continuously have the Welkin Moon for the entire version 5.3, you will get a total of 3780 Primogems (Not including the Genesis Crystal).

Archon Quest

There is 1 new act for Archon Quest in version 5.3, and it will give you 60 Primogems and 1 Intertwined Fate.
If you don’t remember where did that Fate come from, it’s from the Tour Guide in Adventurer’s Handbook that will give you 1 Intertwined Fate from each Archon Quest you’ve completed.

Aside from that, Archon Quest will also give you a time-limited 500 Primogems which you can claim from the event page like in the image above.
In total, you will get 1 Intertwined Fates and 560 Primogems from the Archon Quests in version 5.3.

Story Quests

There are 2 new Story Quests in version 5.3; one for our Pyro Archon and another one for Master of the Night Wind. Each of them will give you around 120 Primogems if not more.

Why 120 Primogems you ask? Well, completing one Story Quest will give you 60 Primogems. And by completing it during the first half of the version will give you another 60 Primogems (this is time-limited rewards). In short:
Mavuika's Story Quest: 60 Primogems + 60 Primogems (time-limited)
Citlali's Story Quest: 60 Primogems + 60 Primogems (time-limited)

In total, you will get 240 Primogems by completing the two Story Quests in the first half of version 5.3.

New Achievements

While we don't get any new area, we did get a new permanent gameplay which is the rhythm game and usually, the new permanent game will give you some sort of achievements (like Envisaged Echoes) that gives you Primogems. Let's be positive and assume they will give us around 200 Primogems for exploring the new permanent event!

Character Test Runs

There are 4 5-star characters in version 5.3, meaning there will be 4 character test runs that provide 20 Primogems per character. You will get a total of 80 Primogems by completing all test runs.

New Events

There are 5 new events in version 5.3 that give out Primogems, totaling up to 3860 Primogems & 10 Intertwined Fates. Here’s how you get that number:
1. Springtime Charms: ~1000 Primogems
2. Emblem of Steadfast Valor: 420 Primogems
3. Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl: 420 Primogems
4. On the Trail of Behemoths: 420 Primogems
5. Thank You Gift: 1600 Primogems & 10 Intertwined Fates

HoYoLAB Daily Check-In

There will be 5 times when you will get Primogems from the Daily Check-In, which are on January 4, January 11, January 18, February 4, and February 12 (If you check-in everyday without missing a day). In total, you will get 100 Primogems.

HoYoLAB Web Events

There will usually be 1-3 web events in the duration of one version of Genshin Impact. The thing is, it is mostly random and cannot be predicted. So, the only way you can notice these kinds of events is by keeping up with the Genshin Impact announcements.
Long story short, you may get more or less ~100 Primogems by playing any web events available whenever it’s released.

V5.4 Livestream Redeem Codes

As usual, there will be a Special Program 2 weeks before the update maintenance, and version 5.4 is not excluded from the trend. In the live stream, you will get 300 Primogems after claiming three new redemption codes.

New Version Code

After a few hours of update maintenance, one new redemption code will be available for you to redeem. This occurs every version and I don't think the developer will stop anytime soon. The said code will give you 60 Primogems and usually will stay available until the end of the said version.

And with that, you can obtain the number of Primogems I calculate for Genshin Impact 5.3. Once again I want to stress that this calculation is merely an estimation of how many Primogems and Fates you will get in the next update. It is by no means official!
