So, You’ve Got Glitter Coming Out Your Ears in Genshin Impact? Let’s Talk Starglitter.
Alright, Genshin Impact player. Let’s discuss something shiny. This shiny thing is mostly useless if you don’t know how to use it: Masterless Starglitter.
You see it after wishing. You might have noticed it in the shop. But have you ever asked, “What is this and am I using it correctly?” Probably not, because few read details in Teyvat. But don’t worry. We will explore this glittery topic and find answers for your Starglitter.
What in Teyvat is Masterless Starglitter Anyway?
Think of Masterless Starglitter as Genshin’s way of saying, “Oops! You got another one!” It’s the consolation prize when gacha gods decide you need your fifth Bennett. In technical terms:
- Masterless Starglitter is what you get for pulling a duplicate 4-star or 5-star character. You already own it.
- If the game gives you multiple Bennetts like Pokémon cards, it gives you Starglitter as a “thanks, but no thanks” for the extra copy.
Starglitter Math: How Much Sparkle Do You Get?
Now let’s get into the details. How much Starglitter do you earn? Here are the numbers, because shiny things are fun:
- Duplicate 4-Star Character/Weapon (Pre-Constellation 6): You will earn 2 Masterless Starglitter. Consider it a small “better luck next time” in glitter form.
- Duplicate 4-Star Character at Constellation 6 (C6): Maxed out that character? Here’s a better reward: 5 Masterless Starglitter. It’s like the game is saying, “You really don’t need another. Here, have some extra glitter.”
Each time you see that golden flash and expect a new character, remember that Starglitter will arrive! It’s the silver lining in the world of duplicates.
Starglitter, Wishes, and a Big Fat “NOPE”
Now let’s discuss a common temptation. Spending your Starglitter on Intertwined Fates. You see that option in the shop. Those shiny fates promise new characters and weapons. Resist! Just say no.
Why reject wishes-for-glitter? Simple:
- A single wish costs 5 Masterless Starglitter. Seems reasonable, right? Wrong.
- You can convert Starglitter into wishes, but this usually wastes your sparkle-dust.
- Remember: you get Starglitter from wishes when you get duplicates. Using it to buy more wishes is pointless. It yields little gain.
Starglitter from 10-Pulls: The Math in Bulk
Let’s chat about those satisfying 10-pulls. You gather Primogems, hold your breath, and do ten wishes at once. Besides the character lottery, what about Starglitter?
- On average, every 10 wishes on an Event banner gives you about 2 Masterless Starglitter.
- This happens because you’re likely to pull a duplicate 4-star at some point. Each of those gives you 2 Starglitter.
So, while you’re hoping for a 5-star character, bits of Starglitter accumulate quietly, like savings for… well, we will discuss spending it later (however, the suspense is building!).
For now, remember: Starglitter is a byproduct of your wishing adventures. It is not the main prize, but it is not useless either. Spend it wisely. It can be useful for better things than buying wishes. Trust me on this one.
