Genshin Impact 3.5 F2P Primogems calculation: How to get 85+ wishes as free-to-play user

Genshin Impact 3.4 update is expected to offer F2P players the opportunity to obtain over 85 wishes, a considerable number that could help them reach "Hard Pity" at least once.

This estimate is based on the value of the in-game currency, Primogems, and Intertwined Fates. To obtain this impressive number, players must participate in every event, complete all World Quests, and engage in other activities within the game.

However, it's important to note that those who do not have as much time to devote to the game should expect to earn fewer Wishes. The number of Fates obtained will depend on the effort put into this endeavor.
