Version 5.7 is officially live, and for many players, the first question is simple: how many free Primogems can I earn during Phase 1? Whether you’re planning to pull for Skirk, hoping for Shenhe, or saving for a future favorite, this breakdown will help you understand what to expect over the next few weeks.

Daily Commissions: 1,260 Primogems

Phase 1 of Version 5.7 runs from June 18 to July 8—a total of 21 days. With 60 Primogems per day from commissions, that amounts to 1,260 Primogems. It’s a small daily grind that adds up fast.

Quest Content: 340 Primogems

Two key quests are featured in this update: a new chapter of the Archon Quest (featuring Dainsleif and the Traveler’s twin) and Skirk’s story quest. Combined, these offer around 340 Primogems and are a must-play for lore and progression.

Paimon’s Bargains: 800 Primogems

With the shop resetting on July 1, players can spend Starglitter on up to five Intertwined Fates, equivalent to 800 Primogems. For those who’ve been saving duplicates or constellations, this is an easy way to add to your stash.

Imaginarium Theater: Up to 800 Primogems

Resetting on July 1, the Imaginarium Theater remains one of the best sources for Primogems. Completing all acts nets 800 Primogems, but even reaching Act 8 yields a respectable 620.

Achievements, Trials, Check-Ins: 100 Primogems

  • Minor Achievements: ~20 Primogems
  • Skirk & Shenhe Trial Domains: 40 Primogems
  • HoYoLAB Daily Check-In: 40 Primogems

Small, but consistent sources not to be overlooked.

Events: 1,290 Primogems

  • Battle of Imagined Arrays (June 20–July 7): 970 Primogems + free Sethos + Crown of Insight
  • The Traveler’s Tales: Gilded Chapter: 120 Primogems
  • Web Events ‘Through Yesterday, To Today’ & ‘Swing Your Sword with Skirk’: 200 Primogems total

Events are where a large bulk of your free wishes will come from this phase.

Stygian Onslaught (Permanent): 450 Primogems

This new endgame content awards 450 Primogems for clearing the first three difficulty levels. It’s permanent, so you won’t need to rush through it, but it’s a reliable Phase 1 source nonetheless.

Maintenance Compensation: 600 Primogems

As with every update, you’ll get 600 Primogems for server downtime.

Total Free Primogems in Phase 1

By adding all sources together:

  • Daily Commissions: 1,260
  • Quest Content: 340
  • Paimon’s Bargains: 800
  • Imaginarium Theater: up to 800
  • Miscellaneous (Achievements, Trials, Check-In): 100
  • Events: 1,290
  • Stygian Onslaught: 450
  • Maintenance: 600

Total: ~5,460 Primogems (about 35 wishes)

With Welkin Moon: Up to 7,350 Primogems

If you also subscribe to the Welkin Moon, you’ll gain 90 Primogems daily. Over 21 days, that adds another 1,890 Primogems, bringing the total to 7,350 Primogems, or around 46 wishes.

Should You Pull Now or Wait?

Looking ahead, we know that Mavuika and Emilie will return later in the patch. If you’re unsure about Skirk or Shenhe, waiting may be the smarter move. As always, pull for characters you love—not just for meta relevance. Your favorite character’s appeal won’t get nerfed.
