What Are Genesis Crystals and How Do You Buy and Use Them?
Learn what Genesis Crystals are, how to convert them to Primogems, compare packs and complete a safe Genshin Impact UID top-up.
Genesis Crystals are Genshin Impact's premium currency purchased with real money. They convert to Primogems at a 1:1 rate and can also buy eligible cosmetics. Conversion to Primogems cannot be reversed.
What are Genesis Crystals used for?
You can convert them into Primogems for character or weapon wishes, or spend them directly on eligible cosmetics. One wish costs 160 Primogems, so check your current Primogem and Intertwined Fate balance before choosing a pack.

First top-up bonus
HoYoverse may periodically reset first top-up bonuses. Eligible accounts may receive an extra bonus on the first purchase of each base tier, but it is not guaranteed on every order. Check the relevant tier in your in-game top-up screen before buying.
Genesis Crystals vs Primogems
Genesis Crystals are purchased premium balance; Primogems can also be earned through quests, events and codes. Crystals convert to Primogems, but Primogems cannot convert back. If you want cosmetics, verify which currency they require before converting.
