How to wish in Genshin Impact
There are a few low-tier characters you get for free by playing the early Mondstadt story in Genshin Impact, but Wishing is the only way to get S-tier characters, or close to it.
You don’t need the best characters in the game to progress through the story, but having a decent team with save options will help you clear content faster and complete levels in The Spiral Abyss. This endgame challenge arena offers plenty of rewards for clearing its levels, including Primogems, Mora, Talent Materials, and Artifacts.
To wish in Genshin Impact, you are going to have to spend fate on banners
To unlock the possibility of Wish on your account, you will need to first complete the archon quest ‘Prologue, Act I: The Stranger Who Catched the Wind – Knights of Favonius’. Once you’ve done that, you can click on the “Wish” submenu when you bring up the main menu to take you to the Banners section. Or tap the Primogem icon at the top of the screen if you’re playing on mobile.
Here you can spend Acquaint Fate in blue color make a wish on Wanderlust Invocation and Beginners’ Wish, or the fate intertwined in pink and blue color on Character Event Banners and Epitome Summon Weapon Banner.
To see which characters are included in each banner right now, be sure to check out our next and current banner page.
The release of Genshin Impact 2.8 is here!

You can now spend Primogems on 5-star Yoimiya, and as always, you can visit our Genshin Impact tier list to see how your characters stack up, find out how the Pity and 50/50 system works when Wishing with Fate, and see who you can draw next and current banners.

How to get fate in Genshin Impact
Here’s how to get fate in Genshin Impact:
- x4 Intertwined Fate of the “Gnostic Hymn” premium battle pass tier on every refresh.
- x5 Familiarize yourself with the fate of the Free Battle Pass tier “Sojourner’s” with each refresh.
- x1 Familiarize yourself with fate to level up a character to level 20, 50, and 70.
- x2 Familiarize yourself with fate for each Adventure Rank Ascension quest completed.
- Purchase Acquaint or Intertwined Fate from the Paimon’s Bargains store with Primogems, Masterless Starglitter, or Masterless Stardust.
These are the best ways to get fate in Genshin Impact, but there are a few additional story and side quests you can complete for additional knowledge and intertwined fate, but above all Know. This includes the “Lumenstone Adjuvant” upgrade quest found in The Chasm and the “Sacred Sakura’s Favor” quest located in the Inazuma region.
With this spirit, the most reliable way to get fate in Genshin Impact is to buy it from the Paimon’s Bargains store. This doesn’t mean you have to spend real money in-game – you just have to convert some of your in-game currency to Fate. However, the option to buy Genesis Crystals for real money and convert them into Primogems is there if you really want to.
To access Paimon’s bargains, open the main menu and select the “Store” option. A new menu will appear, and in the options on the left side you will see “Paimon’s Bargains”. In the Paimon’s Bargains store, Intertwined and Acquaint Fate are always at the top of each tab’s offerings.
Here are the prices to buy Interlaced and Acquaint Fate at Paimon’s Bargains:
- x1 Interlaced or Acquaint Fate for x160 Primogems.
- x1 Interlaced or Acquaint Fate for x75 Masterless Stardust (limit of five of each Fate type each month).
- x1 Interlaced or Acquaint Fate for x5 Masterless Starglitter.
Masterless Stardust is obtained by firing a 3 star Wishing weapon at any banner. You will get x15 Masterless Stardust for every 3 star draw.
Masterless Starglitter is obtained by obtaining 4-star or 5-star duplicate characters and weapons. Here is how many Masterless Starglitter you get for each type of repeated draw in Genshin Impact:
Duplicate Extraction Type | Masterless starglitter got |
---|---|
4 Star Character (Incomplete Constellation) | x2 Star Sequins |
4-Star Character (Maximum Constellation) | x5 Star Sequins |
5 star character (incomplete constellation) | x10 Star Sequins |
5-Star Character (Maximum Constellation) | x25 Star Sequins |
4 star weapon | x2 Star Sequins |
5 star weapon | x10 Star Sequins |
Best of luck, Wishing on Banners in Genshin Impact!
