Genshin Impact wants to win back lost players. Those who return will receive powerful weapons and even Primogems for free.
In recent weeks, many big games have been released. Releases like WoW: Shadowlands, Cyberpunk 2077, and many others have caused some players to lose focus on Genshin Impact a bit. However, the developers already have an idea of how they want to entice you back into the game with Patch 1.2 – with plenty of rewards.
Update: 12/23/2020: Today the developers released Update 1.2. The rewards are now active.
Who can receive these rewards? The rewards are for all players who:
- have not been online in Genshin Impact for at least 14 consecutive days
- have Adventure Rank 10 or higher
- have not benefited from this bonus in the last 45 days
If this is the case, you can benefit from the bonuses after the implementation of the patch and the expiration of the time.
Keep in mind that these 14 days will likely only begin with the launch of Patch 1.2 – starting from 12/23.
What are these rewards? The “Stellar Reunion” returnee event will be activated upon logging in if the requirements described above are met. The event consists of a total of 4 components.
- Reunion Rewards: During the event, players can collect Primogems, Resin, and other rewards. These rewards are one-time only.
- Passage of Time: These are login rewards available every day. They include Primogems, Resin, experience items, and more.
- “Homeward Path” quest rewards: Certain quests can be completed during the event to accumulate points. The points can be exchanged for various bonuses, including a prototype weapon. This bonus can only be claimed once.
- “Reunion Blessing” – Double Loot: Returnees receive 3 opportunities each day during the event to get double rewards from spheres and ley line outcrops.
After the event ends, progress will be reset and all unclaimed rewards will expire.
Isn’t that unfair? Those who are permanent players do not benefit from this event and may feel somewhat disadvantaged. However, the rewards are probably not so great as to surpass the items and rewards earned if one was an active player during the 14 days. The bonus is therefore mainly helpful in providing some incentives for players who have taken a break.
Have you played Genshin Impact in recent days? Or are you intentionally not playing now to take advantage of these bonuses soon?
