Intertwined Fates: Your Ticket to Limited-Time Hotties (and Husbandos)

How to Stockpile Intertwined Fates (Without Selling Your Soul)
So, how do you stockpile Intertwined Fates? Hoyoverse is not handing them out freely. However, ways exist to accumulate them:
- Primogem Exchange: 160 Primogems buys one Intertwined Fate. It’s an unlimited exchange in the Wishes menu. Save those precious gems!
- Masterless Starglitter: Trade 5 Starglitter for one Intertwined Fate. This is also an unlimited exchange.
- Masterless Stardust: 75 Masterless Stardust can convert to one Intertwined Fate. This is limited to 5 per month and refreshes monthly.
- Events, Glorious Events!: Hoyoverse offers freebies during events. Look for login events during celebrations like the Lantern Rite. For example, Lantern Rite 2024 gave players 10 Intertwined Fates!
- Stellar Reunion: If you’ve been gone 14 days, logging back in may trigger rewards, including Intertwined Fates. If gone for 45 days and no reunion in 60 days, you’ll get a larger reward!

Notice a pattern? Most paths to Intertwined Fates lead back to

- Daily Commissions: Completing daily tasks gives a steady stream of Primogems. Don’t skip your dailies!
- Exploration is Key: Explore Teyvat. Open chests and solve puzzles to find hidden Primogems.
- Events, Again!: Participate in every event; they offer Primogem rewards among others.
- Spiral Abyss: The Spiral Abyss is an endgame challenge that rewards good Primogems. Clear floors for stars.
- Achievements: Complete in-game challenges for easy Primogem rewards.
- Hangout Events: Unlock different endings in character stories for Primogems.
- Serenitea Pot Trust Rank: Increase your Teapot Trust Rank for various rewards, including Primogems.
- Gift Sets: Crafting Gift Sets for characters is another way to earn affection and Primogems.
The Pity System: Your Safety Net (and How it Works)
Gacha games can be cruel, but Genshin features a
The “soft pity” reportedly starts around wish 74 or 75. Many players say there’s an increased chance of a 5-star drop here. Many save primos until soft pity range to pull.
When pulling a 5-star character on an Event Banner, there’s a 50% chance it will be the featured character. If you lose the 50/50, the next pull on an Event Banner guarantees the featured character! This continues between events.
Pity counters are banner-specific. Character Event Wishes, Weapon Event Wishes, and Standard Wishes each have separate pity counters. Your Acquaint Fate pity does not accumulate into Intertwined Fate pity. They are different systems.
Fate Points: Weapon Banner Woes (and Warnings)
The Weapon Banner’s infamous
Stardust and Starglitter: Shiny, But Maybe Not for Fates
Masterless Stardust and Starglitter come from wishing. Stardust is common; you earn 15 from every 3-star weapon pulled. Starglitter is rarer, gained from 4-star and 5-star items. You
Starglitter benefits character ascension materials and constellation purchases. Save Starglitter for these instead of converting it into Fates. Primogems should be your primary source for Fates.
Resin: (Briefly) Mentioned
Resin is not directly related to Intertwined Fates but impacts overall Genshin progression. You need Resin to claim rewards from Domains and bosses for ascension materials and indirectly earn Primogems.
Event Rewards: Free Wishes Galore
Let’s circle back to events as they are crucial. Hoyoverse events are treasure troves of rewards like Primogems, Mora, and Intertwined Fates. Don’t miss out on
these limited-time chances to increase your Fate stash and get free pulls on your favorite banners.
The 10 Intertwined Fates from events turn into 10 free pulls on an Event Banner. That boost significantly improves your chances of getting that 5-star character. Events can reward Mora, Mystic Enhancement Ores, Hero’s Wit, and unique gadgets, like from past Lantern Rite celebrations.
Character and Weapon Banners: Understand Your Fates’ Purpose
Intertwined Fates are for those limited-time Character and Weapon Event Wish banners. They unlock powerful new characters and signature weapons that boost your Genshin Impact experience. Use them wisely then target banners featuring characters or weapons that benefit your team.
Watch out for Weapon Banners: Fate Points reset with each new banner. Think about your Weapon Banner wishes and be ready to commit if you’re after a specific weapon.
Wish History: Track Your Pity
Genshin keeps an accurate
The 50/50 System: Accept the Odds (or Trust RNGesus)
Finally, let’s talk about the 50/50 system. This is key in Genshin’s gacha. Each time you pull a 5-star character on an Event Banner, you get a 50% chance for the featured character and a 50% for a standard banner character. It’s a gamble, but that’s the fun (and pain) of gacha. The “50-50-90 rule” humorously suggests that even with a 50/50 chance, you might 90% lose. Not statistically correct, but it feels true!
So, should you use your Intertwined Fates? The answer is: it depends. Are you chasing a specific character on the current banner? Have you saved enough Primogems to really hit pity? Do you
