Genshin Impact 4.0 Primogems calculation: How many pulls can you get in Fontaine update?

The new 4.0 update of Genshin Impact is just around the corner. This patch will introduce the long-awaited region of Fontaine in the game. Along with the Hydro nation, multiple new characters like Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet will be released during this update. Players hoping to obtain either of them may be curious about how many Primogems they can get in version 4.0 of Genshin Impact.

Primogems are the main in-game currency that players can use to pull characters and weapons from the gacha banners. They can be accumulated via several methods, such as quests, events, and overworld exploration.

The 4.0 update will add the Fontaine map and a new chapter of Archon Quests for players to enjoy alongside events. So much new content in the game will surely lead to a hefty amount of Primogems for players.

This article will calculate how many of them can be obtained by players in the upcoming 4.0 Fontaine update of Genshin Impact.

Recently Uncle Tao has revealed an estimate of how many Primogems can be expected in the upcoming Fontaine update. He has considered all possible sources for Primogems to prepare a detailed report.

As per calculations for patch 4.0:

• F2P players can obtain - 13340 Primogems or 83 Intertwined Fates.
• Welkin Moon players can obtain - 17540 Primogems or 109 Intertwined Fates.
• Welkin Moon + Battle Pass players can obtain - 18860 Primogems or 117 Intertwined Fates.

Considering that Soft Pity in Genshin Impact starts from the 75th wish, F2P players at zero pity will certainly be able to snag a 5-star character in the upcoming update if the calculations are true.
