Free-to-play games with in-game microtransaction is an ongoing trend. Hoyoverse exploits this strategy pretty well, offering exclusive resources, weapons, and character enhancement with unique abilities. The Genesis Crystal is all you need to achieve that.
But how do you get your hands on these?
This is what I’m about to explore meticulously in this article. So, without wasting a moment, let’s get cracking.
What are Genesis Crystals in Genshin Impact?
The Genesis Crystals are the premium currency in Genshin Impact, just like money in real life. These are used to buy in-game resource bundles or can be exchanged with Primogems. The conversion rate between Genesis Crystals and Primogems is 1:1.
These Primogems are key to obtaining Acquaint Fate and Intertwined Fate that are used in wishes. And you can win a whole lot of powerful rare weapons, abilities, and characters.
In all of these, the Genesis Crystals act as the fundamental element, to begin with in-game purchases. So, to acquire valuable items, where do you get the Genesis Crystals in the first place?
Well, in the following section, we’ll have a thorough look at how you can have Genesis Crystals in Genshin Impact.
How to Get Genesis Crystals in Genshin Impact
You can get Genesis Crystals in Genshin Impact by purchasing them with real money. Obtain the Blessing of the Welkin Moon subscription to get 300 Genesis Crystals. Besides, purchase from an in-game shop or PlayStation store to get more Genesis Crystals.
Below, I’ve discussed the process to earn Genesis Crystals in detail.
Here’s how you can get Genesis Crystals in Genshin Impact:
1. Acquire Genesis Crystals from Blessing of the Welkin Moon
Buying the Blessing of the Welkin Moon subscription in Genshin Impact will reward you with 300 Genesis Crystals in a jiffy and 90 Primogems daily for 30 days. That’s a total of 2700 Primogems.
The Blessing of the Welkin Moon costs $4.99. And it’s not an auto-renewable subscription.
To buy the Blessing of the Welkin Moon, open the Paimon menu in the game > Access Shop and get to the Recommended tab.
Now Click on the Blessing of the Welkin Moon and hit the Purchase button. Complete the subsequent process by providing your card information.
2. Buy Genesis Crystals from Genshin Impact In-Game Shop
Throw your money and get what you want— that’s how you can acquire Genesis Crystals from the Genshin Impact shop. But Hoyoverse has a trick up its sleeve, which is a 100% Genesis Crystal bonus for the first purchase. It is applicable to any plan.
To buy Genesis Crystals from Genshin Impact in-game shop:
- Access the Paimon menu.
- Get to the Shop.
- Select Crystal-Top-Up.
- Click on your preferred pack.
- Complete the purchase process.
A successful purchase will instantly award you with a similar number of Genesis Crystals that you bought. On the second time and afterward, the Top-Up, however, you’ll not receive the 100% bonus. We’ll take a look at that in a moment.
Speaking of Crystals, multiple Top-Up plans are available to get. Below, I’ve accumulated all the plans and their pricing for your convenience.
Here are the Genesis Crystals purchase plans in Genshin Impact:
| Genesis Crystals Amount | Price | First Time Bonus | Bonus Afterward |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60 | $0.99 | +60 | None |
| 300 | $4.99 | +300 | +30 |
| 980 | $14.99 | +980 | +110 |
| 1980 | $29.99 | +1980 | +250 |
| 3280 | $49.99 | +3280 | +600 |
| 6480 | $99.99 | +6480 | +1600 |
3. Purchase Genesis Crystals in PS Store
Unlike PC and Mobile, you can not buy Genesis Crystals within the game on PlayStation, whether it’s a PS4 or PS5. You need to buy from the PS store.
Simply launch the PS store on your console and search for Genshin Impact Add-Ons. Under this, you’ll find all the bundles of the game, along with the Genesis Crystals sale packs. Choose and purchase the one that appeals the most to you.
If you ask for an expert opinion, I would suggest you get the 1980 Genesis Crystals for $29.99. Not to mention you’ll get 1980 more Crystals as a bonus.
