6 Habits that DESTROY your Primogems!

many people feel like they'll never have enough Primo gems and that's by design genjen impact's business model is for you to not have enough resources to keep up with the constant stream of new characters and then capitalize on your fomo to get you to spend this can lead people to spend literally thousands chasing characters weapons and more and even if it's not that extreme for most people under the system it is easy for people to spend way more Primo gems and money than they ever intended and of course there are a lot of people who are totally free to play and feel like they never have enough Primo gems either and while this may be by Design there's also some bad habits I see tons of players make that totally destroy their hard-earned Primo gem savings and I know firsthand just how bad these habits are because I did most of these when I first started and once I stopped then my Primo gem count kept going up and up and up hey everyone shark here and in this video we're going to talk about the six bad habits that will destroy your Primo gems in an impact the first of which is chasing a specific four-star character or weapon on a banner I am totally guilty of this even as of just recently I posted a video of me wishing for Mika a limited rate of 4 star and let's just say it didn't go very well I ended up getting kaching and shenha before I ended up getting Mika I ended up using over 15 000 Primo gems worth of wishes before I got a single copy of this four star character Mika and oh that hurts to say keep in mind this is a rate up 4 star character meaning you have a lot higher chance to get him on this limited Banner about 33 percent over 20 wishes but RNG can be very very cruel and if you're wishing on The Limited weapon Banner for a specific 4 star weapon it's even worse because it means you only have about a 20 chance to get that weapon in 20 wishes or in other words you have about an 80 chance to get something you don't want on a limited weapon Banner if you're only going for one 4 star weapon this is also also compounded by the fact that the rate Up characters and weapons on these limited banners have no pity so you can keep wishing and wishing and wishing and still not get the character or weapon you want I've seen so many comments and heard so many horror stories about people Wishing on the recent Sino Banner to get Bennett and unfortunately not getting any of him using 60 70 even 80 wishes or more and a lot of times they not only burn through so many Primo gems but they also ruin their pity for a limited 5 Star character that they may really want so if you only want one four star character or one four star weapon on one of these limited rateup banners it's definitely not a good idea to chase them as you can burn through a ton of Primo gems which leads us to the second bad habit which can completely annihilate your Primo gems and that is Wishing on the weapon Banner regularly the weapon Banners are a giant trap and more often than not people sink tons of Primo gems into them just to get one single copy of a limited weapon they want because there's one extra 5 star in The Limited rate of pool and one extra four star in The Limited rate of pool the odds are even more against you than the character Banner for getting what you really want this also means you may need to go to pity in extra time and spend even more Primo gems just to get the five-star weapon you want imagine this you've saved some Primo gems and a character you want comes out and you throw a bunch of wishing onto them you see the gold light flash across the sky and it's a deluke not the character you were going for but you still have some Primo gems left and it's early in the patch so you can earn some more from events you save up some more Primo gems which again see another gold Flash and are relieved you're getting the limited character you want but imagine if you weren't guaranteed and the next gold flash you saw was a gene and not the limited character you want that's basically the weapon Banner because you can go to pity twice before you're guaranteed to get the limited weapon that you want and if you already got two 5 stars and the next one's guaranteed how could you not go there you're already so far but this is the sunk cost fallacy which is when you throw good money after bad or good Primo gems after bad and while this may be a logical fallacy it is very effective at marketing using the fear of missing out and this is exactly what the weapon Banner is designed to do it is designed to drain your Primo gems get you to a point where you feel like you're going to get exactly what you want coming soon or just on the next five star the next few polls you spend some you don't get it you spend more and then you get closer and closer to that guarantee not realizing exactly how much you spent or feel like you're too close to not get it and then you spend a little bit more it's a little bit Insidious but this is how this works my recommendation is that free to play players completely avoid the weapon Banner unless you already have a majority of the characters that you want you like both weapons on the five star banner and you also like at least three out of the five four stars that are on the banner if that sounds like you then feel free to put a few wishes into the weapon Banner but otherwise realize that it can definitely drain your Primo gems very quickly the third bad habit that will completely annihilate your Primo gems forever is wishing as soon as you get enough Primos to make a single wish this is a super common habit especially early on in the game but it's a really bad one it gets you in the habit of wishing as soon as you can and just rolling the dice hoping you get something good instead of saving a lot of Primo gems and guaranteeing yourself something you really want when you're new you can easily get thousands of Primo gems from all the world quests exploration and story quests but once those run out you need to save Primo gems for about two patches to guarantee yourself one limited five-star character so it can easily take over two months doing your daily commissions and getting the Primo gems from events just to get a limited 5 Star character and while luck can certainly be a factor the odds are very heavily stacked against you so instead of making wish every single time you get 160 Primo gems save them up for the characters that you really want pretend like they're not even there and just work on the characters that you have and save for characters that will make your teams really strong or the ones that you really really want and we'll talk more about that later but for now we're moving on to the next bad habit the fourth thing that can completely melt your stash of Saved Primo gems is Wishing on the standard Banner this is a mistake I definitely made when I was newer and I know a lot of new players make this mistake as well I've also seen more veteran players do this where they think they're close to pity they throw in some Primo gems to the standard banner and it turns out they actually weren't that close to pity and this is where your patience will really be tested you shouldn't ever wish on the standard Banner because we get free wishes from the battle pass from leveling up characters from reaching certain Adventure ranks and we can also exchange for these wishes in the monthly Stardust shop so only wish from the standard Banner when you're getting those free wishes from those sources don't use your hard-earned Primo gems on the standard Banner this is especially hard because we only get a few wishes for the standard Banner per month but just think of them as like an extra little bonus you'll get one here or there you don't really count on it and when you do it's like oh we'll throw a wish in there but if you have a habit of using your Primo gems on the standard Banner you will probably regret it there will be a character that comes out that you really want and you won't have enough Primo gems to wish on them because you've used them on the standard Banner make sure to save your Primo gems for limited character banners not the standard Banner because that's permanent and it's never going away the next bad habit I've seen is one that hurts my soul and I can proudly say that I've never personally done this but it is a gigantic drain on your Primo gems and that is using Primos for resin refreshes genshin does allow you to spend Primo gems to refresh your resin so you can do a few more domains or Ley lines but this is a really bad idea first of all you only get 60 resin which a allows you to do three domains or Ley lines or one world boss and one domain or leyline and this costs 50 Primo gems but every time you refresh it also increases the cost all the way up to 200 Primo gems but the amount of resin you get is still 60. this is way too high of a price for something that doesn't give you a lot of rewards and only takes a few minutes to complete spending your Primo gems on resin is like going to a vending machine and buying a single chip not a bag of chips but like a single Pringle for one dollar and then you're like well that Pringle is pretty good but I need more so then you buy the Pringle again but this time it doesn't cost one dollar it costs two dollars for a single chip and then you're still hungry so you buy a third one but this time it costs five dollars and then you still want more so then it costs ten dollars for a single chip and then the vending machine locks you out and it's like Yo dude do you have a problem you should stop doing this that's basically what it's like to use your Primo gems to refresh your resin consider wondering that we can get transient and fragile resin weekly and monthly respectively it's better to just never spend your Primo gems on resin refreshes and the sixth and final bad habit that completely annihilates your Primo gems is one that I see a lot but it's one a lot of people don't realize that they're doing but they don't realize this because you need a fairly deep knowledge of this game in order to understand what you're doing and why it's a bad habit and this bad habit that completely destroys your Primo gems is wishing for characters that don't synergize with your account especially now there are a lot of characters that need special supports or teams to really work I would not recommend Wishing on certain characters unless I already had their supports or specific characters that they needed for example I would not wish on hutau's Banner unless I already had your lawn or xincho likewise I wouldn't wish on jow's Banner unless I already had Zhang Lee Bennett or farazan or some combination nation of all three it's very typical for characters in genjin to require other characters to work well so I would avoid that these types of typically on-field damage dealers unless I had the specific supports they really wanted and while most of the garden variety damage dealers need specific supports the really good supporting characters like nahida kazua Bennett and xincho and so on can be used in almost any team that's why it's a really good idea to use your hard-earned Primo gems on characters that you can put into almost any team that will help you out basically everywhere instead of just using them on another on-field damage dealer that are kind of just a dime a dozen and again understanding which characters are best for you takes a little bit of game knowledge but there are some incredibly strong supports and other characters that basically make any account better and if you're curious about which characters will make your account better and are just generally really really good I have a video on that which I'll leave at the end of this one and if you'd like some more personalized help you can always check me out live on stream and ask me specific questions there just tell me which characters you have and I can tell you a team that would be really good for you I'm live daily in the mornings Eastern Standard Time so drop by and if you have any questions feel free to ask and if
