Genshin Impact’s sixth anniversary is folded into Version 7.1, “A Rekviem for the Underworld,” and the gifts go well beyond the usual login card. The rewards include 1,600 Primogems, 10 Intertwined Fates, a companion pet called the Conductor of the “Ya-ho,” and two free five-star characters — one standard and one limited. None of it lands in a single button press, so it helps to know where each piece shows up.
Quick answer: The anniversary gives 1,600 Primogems, 10 Intertwined Fates, and the Conductor of the “Ya-ho” pet through in-game mail and a login track, plus two free five-star characters — a standard pick and one limited pick gated behind the Version 7.1 Archon Quest.
What’s in the 7.1 anniversary reward bundle
The currency and material giveaway is delivered partly through commemorative in-game mail and partly through a daily login track. Combined, the 1,600 Primogems and 10 Intertwined Fates work out to roughly 20 event wishes once you convert everything at 160 Primogems per Fate.
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Primogems | 1,600 |
| Intertwined Fate | 10 |
| Mora | 80,000 |
| Hero’s Wit | 8 |
| Sanctifying Unction | 8 |
| Sanctifying Elixir | 1 |
| Fragile Resin | 2 |
| Conductor of the “Ya-ho” (pet) | 1 |
| Mini Train Puzzle (gadget) | 1 |
The daily login track is where the 10 Intertwined Fates come from, along with a Dust of Enlightenment and part of the Mora and Hero’s Wit. Missed login days do not roll over, so a skipped day is a slot you never collect. The 1,600 Primogems arrive through mail rather than the login card.
HoYoverse framed the package around inviting two five-star characters plus the Primogems, Fates, and a reset of the Genesis Crystal first top-up bonus.
The second cosmetic, the Mini Train Puzzle, is a placeable gadget that spawns puzzle boxes you interact with using the standard prompt. It has no combat use — it is purely a field toy that fits the anniversary’s train theme.
The Conductor of the “Ya-ho” companion pet
The Conductor of the “Ya-ho” is the anniversary’s signature cosmetic — a tiny Jack Frost in a Transport Bureau-style conductor’s hat, driving its own miniature train. It reaches you through commemorative mail titled “Missive of Grace: A Thank-You Gift,” which arrives in installments. The first message carries both the pet and 400 Primogems, and sits in your mailbox alongside other seasonal notes such as a character birthday letter.
Choosing Claim All drops the pet straight into your Gadget bag along with the 400 Primogems and a couple of bonus materials. You know the claim worked when the mail entry empties out and the Primogem counter in the top-right ticks up.
Once equipped from the Gadget tab, the pet floats beside your character while you run, dash, jump, and idle. It periodically summons translucent blue toy train carriages that circle or drive near it, flipping and hovering as they move, complete with soft train sound effects.
Mail attachments expire after their stated claim period, so pull the gift out rather than leaving the message unopened.
Free limited five-star selector: Tabletop Troupe: Adventure’s Eve
The most valuable reward this year is a limited five-star selector. The “Tabletop Troupe: Adventure’s Eve” event lets you invite one character that has only ever appeared on Character Event Wishes, with no pulling involved. The pool holds six names:
- Baizhu
- Nilou
- Tartaglia
- Chiori
- Clorinde
- Varesa
The gate is the Version 7.1 Archon Quest, “A Rekviem for the Underworld.” Until that story is finished, the selector stays locked, so there is no way to grab the character on day one and skip the quest. If the option is greyed out while the rest of the anniversary menu is visible, your Archon Quest is not actually complete.
The limited pick is confirmed once and cannot be swapped afterward, so a missing character is usually worth more than a small constellation on one you already own.
The returning standard five-star selector
Separate from the limited event, the annual free standard five-star returns and draws from the permanent Wanderlust Invocation pool. It is a pick-one list, not a random pull, handled through the anniversary event card. The choices are:
- Diluc
- Jean
- Mona
- Keqing
- Qiqi
- Tighnari
- Dehya
- Yumemizuki Mizuki
Claiming one selector does not consume the other, and neither invitation counts as a Wish. That means picking either character leaves your pity, guarantee, and Wish history untouched, so you can claim everything first and decide on banners afterward. A confirmed pick appears in your roster as a fresh, constellation-free entry.
Genesis Crystal first top-up bonus reset
Version 7.1 also refreshes the first-purchase bonus on Genesis Crystal packs, so every tier pays its doubled amount again. The reset applies per tier, and unused doubles do not stack into a larger bonus. If you were already planning to buy a tier, it makes sense to hold it until after maintenance so the doubled amount lands. Wish history and pity counts are not affected by the reset.
Free four-star event sword
The version’s event track also hands out a free four-star sword. Its stat sheet shows 510 Base ATK with a 41.3% ATK substat, and its passive is built around Elemental Mastery. That points it toward reaction-driven characters rather than raw single-target damage.
Anniversary schedule and claim windows
The version launched first, and the anniversary gifts arrive on top of content you already have access to. The key dates line up like this:
| Date | What happens |
|---|---|
| September 23, 2026 | Version 7.1 goes live with the Archon Quest and event track |
| September 28, 2026 | Sixth anniversary; mail and login rewards open around this date |
| October 1, 2026 | Daily login track begins |
| Around November 3, 2026 | Version 7.1 window closes |
Each anniversary card carries its own deadline, and the mailbox, login track, and character selectors do not share one interface. That is exactly how players collect one part of the package and overlook another. Before logging out, it is worth confirming that the mailbox is empty, the login step is claimed, both characters sit in your roster, and the Fate and Primogem balances have updated — that is how you know every piece landed.
