How Many Pulls Can You Save Per Patch in Genshin Impact?
F2P players can plan around a predictable income of primogem per patch. Here's the realistic breakdown.
What most patches give
- Daily commissions/quests: ~60 primogem/day
- Event rewards: 1,000-1,600 primogem per major event
- Endgame content (abyss/mode equivalent): 600+ per cycle
- Maintenance compensation: 300 per patch
A typical F2P player saves 55-70 pulls per 6-week patch without spending. With a monthly card / battle pass tier, that rises to roughly 90-100 pulls.
Budgeting for a target character
If you want a specific limited character, plan for 90 pulls max, ~75 pulls average. That means 1-2 patches of saving per 5★ you truly want. Skip banners you only kind of want — every wasted pull is ~1/75 of your next guaranteed character.
