Genshin Impact version 2.4 to grant free Primogems

Genshin Impact 2.4 events such as Lantern Rite rerun will shower the community with Primogems, a free four-star character from Liyue, Intertwined Fates, and more. However, to get these attractive rewards, players will have to take part in mini-games and complete tasks.

Before the events begin, the developers will also give free Primogems to players as compensation for the downtime. It is worth noting that 300 Primogems are given for maintenance, and 60 Primogems/ hour are rewarded additionally for the server maintenance time.

If the server maintenance lasts for 5 hours, Genshin Impact will give a total of 600 Primogems (300+300) to the community. If the servers remain offline for more than five hours, players can expect even more Primogems.

The compensation will be sent via in-game mail, which expires in 30 days.

All in all, the upcoming update in Genshin Impact is arguably one of the best in the game's history. The developers recently confirmed the character and weapon banners, and players were delighted to learn that all featured five-star characters will be accompanied by their signature five-star weapons in the Epitome Invocation banners.
