Genshin Impact 7.1: Every Event and Anniversary Reward

The Moonchase flagship, three side events, 20 free pulls, and two selectable 5-star characters land with Version 7.1.

The Moonchase flagship, three side events, 20 free pulls, and two selectable 5-star characters land with Version 7.1.

Version 7.1 pairs the continuation of the Snezhnaya storyline with Genshin Impact’s sixth anniversary, so the reward payout is larger than a typical mid-cycle patch. The update goes live on September 23, 2026 and runs through early November, spread across four limited-time events and a stack of anniversary freebies.

Quick answer: Version 7.1 includes four limited-time events plus sixth-anniversary rewards worth 20 free pulls, and it lets you pick one standard 5-star and one limited 5-star character for free.

Sixth-anniversary rewards and 20 free pulls

The anniversary payout totals 20 pulls once you combine the login rewards and the mail drop. A cumulative check-in event delivers most of the wishing currency, while the Primogem lump and cosmetic items arrive through in-game mail.

Free 5-star character selectors

Two separate free 5-star selectors return for the anniversary. The first lets you claim any standard banner 5-star, and the second gives you a limited event 5-star of your choice.

Standard 5-star selector

You can pick one character from the standard pool as it stands after Version 7.0:

  • Jean (Anemo)
  • Diluc (Pyro)
  • Qiqi (Cryo)
  • Mona (Hydro)
  • Keqing (Electro)
  • Tighnari (Dendro)
  • Dehya (Pyro)
  • Yumemizuki Mizuki (Anemo)

Limited 5-star selector

The limited selector adds one event-exclusive 5-star from this group:

  • Baizhu (Dendro)
  • Varesa (Electro)
  • Nilou (Hydro)
  • Tartaglia (Hydro)
  • Chiori (Geo)
  • Clorinde (Electro)

The limited 5-star selector unlocks only after you finish the Version 7.1 Archon Quest, so the standard pick is available first.

All Version 7.1 limited-time events

Four events run alongside the anniversary content. Each mixes different gameplay, and the flagship is the only one that hands out a new weapon.

Silverwing in Pursuit of the Moon

The flagship event takes you to Liyue for the Moonchase Festival and splits into three game modes: a block-breaking minigame, a time trial, and combat challenges. Clearing it awards the event-exclusive 4-star sword Silver Light, plus the Tea-Scented Tassel material used to refine it.

Full rewards include:

  • Primogems
  • Crown of Insight
  • Hero’s Wit
  • Character ascension materials
  • Mystic Enhancement Ore

Carefree Snowball Fight

A co-op event set in Snezhnaya, where you throw snowballs against other players for a high score. Completing it grants Primogems, character talent upgrade material, Sanctifying Unction, Hero’s Wit, Mora, and weapon ascension material.

Predictive Victory Dynamics

This combat prediction event has you bet on which team wins a given fight and earn points from your calls. Rewards cover Primogems, Sanctifying Unction, Adventurer’s Experience, Mora, and weapon ascension material.

Overflowing Favor

Overflowing Favor returns as a resource event. You can claim double artifact drops three times a day by spending Original Resin, making it the fastest way to farm artifacts during the patch.

Livestream Primogem codes

Three redemption codes from the Version 7.1 program each grant 100 Primogems. They expire on September 15, 2026 at 12:00 AM UTC-4, so redeem them promptly.

CodeRewards
Rekviem100 Primogems, 10 Mystic Enhancement Ore
Vesna0923100 Primogems, 5 Hero’s Wit
PrimaDonna100 Primogems, 50,000 Mora

Redeem them on the official gift page once your account reaches Adventure Rank 10, then collect the items from in-game mail.


How to claim everything

Log in each day of the 7-day cumulative check-in card after the update goes live. The Intertwined Fates, Mora, Hero’s Wit, and Dust of Enlightenment are split across those days, so a missed day leaves that slot empty.
Open your in-game mail to collect the 1,600 Primogems, Fragile Resin, Sanctifying Elixir, and the two cosmetic items. Mail rewards expire 30 days after they arrive.
Go to the Events menu and use the anniversary event card to pick your free standard 5-star. The choice is final once confirmed, so decide before tapping.
Finish the Version 7.1 Archon Quest to unlock the limited 5-star selector, then claim the character you want from that pool.

You will know each reward landed when it appears in your inventory, wish currency count, or character roster. Claim the events before the patch ends in early November, since unfinished event rewards do not carry over to Version 7.2.
