Mastering Genshin Impact as a F2P Player: The Ultimate Guide Explaining Primogems & Mora 🎮✨

Genshin Impact, HoYoverse's open-world RPG, captivates players with its stunning landscapes, engaging story, and strategic combat. Even as a free-to-play player, I've found that Primogems and Mora are essential to progress: Primogems are mainly used for Wishes to unlock characters and weapons, while Mora is used for leveling, upgrading weapons, crafting, and other activities.

Over more than a year of playing, I've discovered that careful planning, consistent gameplay, and using in-game features efficiently are the best ways to steadily collect resources without spending money. Here's my approach.

1. Daily Commissions: A Steady Routine

Every day, the Adventurers' Guild provides four commissions. Completing them gives:

• Primogems
• Adventure Rank (AR) experience
• Mora and crafting materials

How I approach it:

I make it a habit to complete all four commissions daily. Doing this consistently provides a steady flow of both Primogems and Mora.

2. Main Story and Side Quests

Archon Quests (main story) and Story Quests offer structured rewards for progression.

My routine:

• Complete Archon Quests to collect Primogems from chapters
• Complete Story Quests and character story quests for Primogems and upgrade materials
• Unlock new regions to access more domains and enemies

3. Exploration: Chests, Secrets, and Statues

Exploration is both enjoyable and rewarding.

Key activities:

• Chests: Common, Exquisite, Precious, and Luxurious chests give Mora and occasionally Primogems
• Statues of The Seven: Offering Geoculus or Anemoculus rewards Primogems, Mora, and stamina
• Elite enemies and weekly bosses: Drop materials and Mora for character and weapon upgrades

My approach:

I keep track of chest locations and revisit areas regularly. Exploring every corner ensures I collect resources that accumulate over time.

4. Resin Management: Bosses and Domains

Original Resin is required to claim rewards from bosses and domains. Using it efficiently maximizes resources.

How I use it:

• Spend Resin on weekly bosses for ascension materials and Primogems
• Farm Ley Line Outcrops for Mora and character EXP
• Clear domains for artifacts and weapon enhancement materials

5. Limited-Time Events

HoYoverse frequently releases events offering Primogems, Mora, and other in-game rewards.

Activities I participate in:

• Login events providing Primogems
• Puzzle or challenge events with Mora rewards
• Seasonal story events unlocking cosmetics, weapons, or materials

6. Adventure Rank Rewards

Increasing Adventure Rank unlocks higher-level content and provides additional rewards.

How I approach it:

• Complete quests, explore domains, and defeat elite enemies to gain AR experience
• Use AR rank-up rewards to supplement daily commissions

7. Battle Pass (Free Track)

The Battle Pass provides free rewards through daily and weekly challenges.

How I use it:

• Complete daily and weekly tasks consistently
• Focus on tiers that provide Primogems, Mora, and upgrade materials

8. Login Rewards & Anniversary Gifts

Logging in consistently provides additional rewards:

• New players receive welcome bonuses
• Anniversary events provide Primogems, Mora, and materials

How I approach it:

I set reminders to log in every day and track anniversary campaigns to make sure I don't miss rewards.

9. Achievements

Achievements reward exploration, combat milestones, and domain challenges.

Activities:

• Explore new areas
• Defeat bosses
• Complete domains and story challenges

My routine:

I regularly check my achievement tab to claim all available Primogems.

10. Spiral Abyss

The Spiral Abyss is the endgame challenge with substantial rewards.

How I approach it:

• Clear floors aiming for higher star ratings
• Optimize character teams and artifacts to maximize performance

11. Efficient Resource Planning

My strategies:

• Save Primogems for banners with preferred characters
• Use Mora and ascension materials on actively used characters and weapons
• Plan Resin usage for optimal farming routes

12. Combining Methods

By completing daily commissions, quests, exploration, domains, events, and Spiral Abyss, I maintain a steady flow of Primogems and Mora.

13. Final Thoughts

Patience and consistency are essential in Genshin Impact. By completing daily commissions, progressing in quests, exploring, managing Resin efficiently, and participating in events, I steadily collect Primogems and Mora without spending money.

Key takeaways:

• Focus on daily and weekly tasks to maintain a steady flow
• Prioritize resources on characters and weapons you actively use
• Regular exploration and achievement completion compound over time
• Plan pulls, upgrades, and events to maintain balance and efficiency
