Genshin Impact 5.0 live stream introduced us to lots of juicy details, calling the current players to celebrate and enticing new and old players that have quit the game before to hop into Genshin’s universe. Based on our previous article, Genshin Impact: Reasons Many Players Quit, major part of the reason why people quit was because of the tedious grinding system. All these in-game life quality improvements may bring back all the old players who have quit the game due to the heavy nature of RNG and its association with grinding for gears in the game. We compile all the important details revealed during the live stream to make it easier for all travelers.
In-game Rewards
- We are getting 10 pulls with 1600 primogems anniversary rewards.
- Archon quests from 5.0 onward give more primogems if you finish it before the next patch drops.
- 10 pulls for returning players who haven’t logged into the game for 45 days.
- Natlan chests give more primogems compared to the previous regions’ chests’ rewards.
- We are getting free Kachina, a new 4-stars character from Natlan.

Quality of Life Improvements
- Players get to choose the main stat and 2 sub-stats for the artefacts of their choice with a newly introduced item called Artifact Transmuter Gadget.
- Character story quests will give character upgrade materials to newly released characters up to level 60.
- The map will show regional specialities, making it easier for players to gather materials to level up their characters’ levels and talents.
- You will increase your stamina by leveling up the statues in all 7 regions, instead of only Mondstadt and Liyue.
Changes in the Gacha System
- They will reduce the weapon banner pity from 2 points to 1 point. So, you don’t have to spend as many primogems as you were if your luck is bad on the weapon banner.
- Introducing a new wishing capturing system. To explain it in layman’s terms, if your odds on the character banner are 50/50, the new system will increase your odds of getting the featured character from 50/50 to 55/45 probability of winning/ losing the banner character. The picture below shows the exact moment when the new system triggers.
Gameplay Updates

So, to all the old players that consistently play the game, you travellers are winning big in the upcoming patches. All the hard work, blood, sweat, and tears that go into trying to beat the hardest floor of Spiral Abyss will now be rewarded with more rewards than the rewards from the endgame content.
To the gamers who have been eyeing the game and players who have quit before, it’s a great time to return or start the game as the quality of life improvements on top of the rewards will definitely make your grinding easier and better. Remember, some rewards are time-limited so grab your Paimon and begin your journey in the land of Teyvat!
