Collecting precious Primogems in Genshin Impact is always a worthwhile endeavor, particularly when players aim to obtain a specific character or weapon. There are numerous opportunities for both paying (P2P) and non-paying (F2P) players to accumulate Primogems, such as completing World Quests, Archon Quests, and engaging in area exploration, among other methods.
In the upcoming version 4.2 of Genshin Impact, exploration will prove to be especially lucrative in terms of Primogem rewards. To unlock new areas in Fontaine, Travelers must thoroughly explore both the land and underwater layers of the same location, resulting in a significant Primogem yield.
