Genshin Top Up: Get Genesis Crystals

Why Buy Genesis Crystals?

Over the years, Genshin Impact has introduced a huge roster of characters, with new regions, storylines, and playable units continuing to expand Teyvat. Each new character can bring different abilities and team synergies, giving players plenty of reasons to save Primogems and pull on limited-time Event Wishes.

But getting the characters you want can require a substantial number of Primogems. While some characters are available through the Standard Wish, many of the most anticipated units appear on limited-time banners. If you miss a character's banner, you'll generally have to wait for a rerun before getting another opportunity to wish for them.

That's where Genesis Crystals come in. Players can purchase Genesis Crystals and exchange them for Primogems at a 1:1 ratio, giving them another way to build up their supply for upcoming wishes. A Genshin top up can be especially useful when you're preparing for a character banner and want additional Primogems available before it ends.

Players can also purchase Genesis Crystals from trusted sellers on PlayerAuctions. Having the currency ready before a banner arrives lets you plan your wishes around the characters, weapons, or constellations you're interested in.

Whether you're saving for a future character, going for constellations, or preparing for a new banner, Genesis Crystals give you another way to build your Primogem supply and plan your next wishes.

How Many Genesis Crystals Do Players Need?

How many Genesis Crystals you need depends on how many Primogems you're trying to obtain and how much you're planning to wish. Genesis Crystals can be converted into Primogems at a 1:1 ratio, meaning 1 Genesis Crystal provides 1 Primogem.

For Character Event Wishes, the pity system guarantees a 5-star item within 90 wishes. Since each wish costs 160 Primogems, reaching 90 wishes requires 14,400 Primogems, or 14,400 Genesis Crystals if you're obtaining the full amount through Genesis Crystals.

Limited Character Event Wishes also use a 50/50 system. If your 5-star character isn't the featured character, your next 5-star character from the relevant limited banner is guaranteed to be the featured one. Because of this, players who want to plan for the worst-case scenario may save enough for up to 180 wishes, requiring 28,800 Primogems or Genesis Crystals.

Players pursuing multiple constellations will need considerably more. The exact amount varies depending on luck, pity, and whether you win or lose your 50/50s, so there is no guaranteed number of Genesis Crystals that will cover every character's full constellation journey.

How Much Are Genesis Crystals?

Genesis Crystals can be purchased directly through Genshin Impact and are available in several bundle sizes. The amount of Genesis Crystals you receive depends on the package you choose, while first-time purchases may include additional bonus crystals.

Genesis Crystals can then be converted into Primogems, which are used for Wishes. When considering a Genshin top up, players can compare the amount of Genesis Crystals offered by different options with the standard in-game prices.

• 60 Genesis Crystals: $0.99
• 300 Genesis Crystals + 30 bonus: $4.99
• 980 Genesis Crystals + 110 bonus: $14.99
• 1,980 Genesis Crystals + 260 bonus: $29.99
• 3,280 Genesis Crystals + 600 bonus: $49.99
• 6,480 Genesis Crystals + 1,600 bonus: $99.99

Genesis Crystals are separate from Primogems until they are converted, but both currencies ultimately provide access to the same Wish currency. Whether you're preparing for an upcoming banner or simply want more Primogems available for future characters, keeping track of your Genesis Crystal balance can help you plan your Genshin Impact wishes.
