Genshin Impact marks its sixth anniversary during Version 7.1, and the reward package is one of the most generous the game has offered. Two free 5-star character selectors headline the celebration, backed by enough Primogems and Intertwined Fates for a full 20 wishes, plus login and mail gifts. Version 7.1 goes live on September 23, 2026, with the anniversary itself falling on September 28, 2026.
Quick answer: You get two free 5-star selectors (one limited, one standard), 1,600 Primogems by mail, and 10 Intertwined Fates from the login event, totaling 20 free limited-banner pulls.
20 free pulls from Primogems and Intertwined Fates
The free wishes come from two separate deliveries. A batch of 1,600 Primogems arrives through in-game mail, which converts to 10 wishes. The anniversary login event adds 10 Intertwined Fates directly. Together that is 20 pulls on the limited character banners before you count anything earned from events, exploration, or endgame content.
Free limited 5-star character selector
This is the first time the anniversary hands out a free limited 5-star. You choose one character from a pool of six, and the pick is yours to keep at no cost. HoYoverse has also confirmed that a limited selector will return for every future anniversary, with a different character pool each year.
| Character | Element |
|---|---|
| Tartaglia | Hydro |
| Nilou | Hydro |
| Baizhu | Dendro |
| Chiori | Geo |
| Clorinde | Electro |
| Varesa | Electro |
The limited selector unlocks only after you finish the Version 7.1 Archon Quests, so the standard selector and the mail rewards will land before this one becomes claimable.
Free standard 5-star character selector
The standard selector has appeared at every anniversary since Genshin Impact’s fourth, and it continues this year. You pick one character from the eight available on the Wanderlust Invocation banner.
| Character | Element |
|---|---|
| Jean | Anemo |
| Diluc | Pyro |
| Qiqi | Cryo |
| Mona | Hydro |
| Tighnari | Dendro |
| Keqing | Electro |
| Dehya | Pyro |
| Yumemizuki Mizuki | Anemo |
Login and mail rewards
Beyond the pulls and selectors, the anniversary sends a stack of upgrade materials and a commemorative gadget. The Intertwined Fates and the bulk of the materials come through the daily check-in event, while the Primogems and gadgets arrive by mail after the anniversary date.
| Reward | Amount | Delivery |
|---|---|---|
| Intertwined Fates | 10 | Login event |
| Mora | 80,000 | Login event |
| Dust of Enlightenment | 1 | Login event |
| Hero’s Wit | 8 | Login event |
| Primogems | 1,600 | |
| Fragile Resin | 2 | |
| Sanctifying Elixir | 1 | |
| Anniversary gadget and pet | 1 each |
The gadget lineup includes a new Mini Trolley Problem gadget alongside a commemorative pet, delivered with the mail bundle.
Initial Top-Up Bonus reset
The double first-purchase bonus on every Genesis Crystal pack refreshes when Version 7.1 launches, following the pattern of past anniversaries. If you already claimed the doubled bonus on a tier before this update, the reset lets you receive it again on your next purchase of that same tier. Unused bonuses do not stack into two, and the reset does not grant any free Genesis Crystals on its own.
How to claim the anniversary rewards
You will know each reward has been applied when the character shows up in your party menu and the claimed mail entries disappear from your inbox. The daily login count advances one step per day, so the final Intertwined Fates arrive only near the end of the login event.
