Genshin Impact version 2.4 to grant free Primogems

The community will be showered with Primogems, a free four-star character from Liyue, Intertwined Fates, and more during Genshin Impact 2.4 events like the Lantern Rite repeat. However, in order to receive these appealing rewards, players must participate in mini-games and accomplish objectives.

To compensate for the downtime, the creators will give players free Primogems before the tournaments begin. It's worth mentioning that 300 Primogems are awarded for maintenance, with an additional 60 Primogems per hour awarded for server maintenance time.

If the server maintenance lasts 5 hours, Genshin Impact will reward the community with 600 Primogems (300+300). Players should expect even more Primogems if the servers are down for more than five hours. Compensation will be delivered via in-game mail with a 30-day expiration date.

Overall, Genshin Impact's next update is likely one of the best in the game's history. Players were ecstatic to find that all highlighted five-star characters will be accompanied by their characteristic five-star weaponry in the Epitome Invocation banners, which were recently verified by the devs.
