The Basics of Top-Ups in Genshin Impact
In Genshin Impact, you can only top up Genesis Crystals, which are exchanged 1:1 for Primogems (you can’t buy Primogems directly!). Alternatively, you can purchase Chronal Nexus, a currency available in Miliastra Wonderland. Primogems are used for Wishes, Resin, and skins.
Top-Up Products
- Standard Genesis Crystal Packs (60–6480). Perfect for quick, one-time top-ups.
- Blessing of the Welkin Moon. A monthly subscription: 300 Genesis Crystals upfront + 90 Primogems daily for 30 days (totaling ~3000 Primogems). The best option for regular players.
- Battle Pass. A larger top-up option that lets you earn weapons and materials through daily and weekly tasks. Ideal for consistent players.
- Bundles. Higher-priced options that include more items.
Server Compatibility for Purchases
Top-ups are always tied to a specific server. Make sure your UID prefix matches the server:
1 – Asia
2 – Americas
3 – Europe
4 – Taiwan / Hong Kong / Macau
The platform supports all servers—just make sure to enter your UID correctly!

Can You Get Free Genesis Crystals?
No—Genesis Crystals are a premium currency and cannot be obtained for free. However, you can earn bonus Primogems through:
- Opening chests in new areas during exploration
- Daily commissions (up to 60 Primogems per day)
- Participating in events (varies by event)
- Clearing Spiral Abyss (up to 600 Primogems every two weeks)
Avoid “free crystal” scams—they can jeopardize your account’s security!

Genshin Impact Top-Up Strategy: To Buy or Not to Buy?
Buy Often:
- Blessing of the Welkin Moon
A must-have for regular players, offering the best value for consistent gameplay. - Standard Genesis Crystal Packs (above 300)
Always a good choice when you need a quick top-up. - Bundles with bonus Genesis Crystals
It’s the best option as it offers extra Genesis Crystals at a lower price. - Bundles with character-specific bonuses
Higher chances of getting your dream character, plus extra Genesis Crystals on first-time purchases.
Buy Occasionally:
- Bundles with first-purchase bonuses
Extra Genesis Crystals on your first pack purchase. - Standard Genesis Crystal Packs (below 300)
Only when you really need a specific character or weapon. - Direct Primogem purchases in the in-game shop
The least value for the highest price—only use this as a last resort.

Which Package Should I Choose?
We offer a wide range of products to suit your needs. If you’re unsure, here are our recommendations:
Top 3 Packages for Regular Players:
- Blessing of the Welkin Moon
A regular player logging in daily gets a total of 3000 currency (300 Genesis Crystals + 2700 Primogems). This is the foundation for saving up for your dream characters. - 6480 + 1600 Genesis Crystals
Perfect for dedicated players aiming for a specific banner or weapon, thanks to the highest bonus (1600 extra crystals). - Blessing of the Welkin Moon x3
Buying a 3-month pack is convenient and gives you an instant boost of 900 Genesis Crystals (great for skins) while ensuring a steady flow of Primogems for the next three months.
Top 3 Packages for Casual Players:
- 980 + 110 Genesis Crystals
The ideal “mid-tier” pack. Not as pricey as the top-tier options but still allows for a few extra pulls. - 300 + 30 Genesis Crystals
A great choice for those who play occasionally and don’t want to commit to a subscription (Welkin requires daily logins to avoid losing currency). Here, you get crystals instantly and can spend them whenever you like, without time pressure.
60 Genesis Crystals
The cheapest option, perfect for casual players who just need a few more Primogems for a single Wish.
