How much is 100$ in Genshin Impact?
As of mid-2025, spending $100 USD on Genshin Impact’s in-game currency, Genesis Crystals, yields approximately 8,080 Crystals, which you can convert at a 1:1 ratio into Primogems for Wishes. This calculation is based on the official package structure: a ¥648 purchase grants 6,480 base Crystals plus a 1,600-Crystal bonus, totaling 8,080 Crystals per equivalent $100 USD transaction.
At a prevailing exchange rate of about 1 USD = 7.17 CNY, $100 converts to roughly ¥717, but the game’s pricing tiers align most closely with the ¥648 tier for $100, ensuring you receive 8,080 Crystals. Understanding this breakdown helps Travelers maximize their value when buying Genesis Crystals or Primogems.
Understanding Genshin Impact Currency
Genshin Impact’s premium currency system hinges on Genesis Crystals, which players purchase with real-world money and then convert into Primogems at a 1:1 ratio. Primogems serve as the key reagent for Wishes, Genshin’s gacha mechanic for acquiring new characters and weapons, and for replenishing Original Resin, which is needed for weekly bosses and domains.
The game bundles include bonus Crystals to incentivize larger purchases, making it crucial to know which tier aligns best with your budget.
Breakdown of What You Get for $100
Package Tiers and Bonuses
- Base Conversion: The official store uses CNY tiers; at ¥648, you receive 6,480 base Crystals plus 1,600 bonus Crystals, yielding a total of 8,080 Crystals
- USD↔CNY Exchange: As of June 30, 2025, the USD/CNY exchange rate averaged 1 USD = 7.17 CNY, meaning $100 USD ≈ ¥717, but the game’s tiers cap at ¥648 for $100 purchases, so you pay $100 for the ¥648 bundle
Primogems Equivalent
- Since 1 Genesis Crystal = 1 Primogem, 8,080 Crystals = 8,080 Primogems, enough for 50+ single Wishes or 8 Intertwined Fates (at 1,600 Primogems each)
How to Maximize Your Value
- Align with Bundle Bonuses: Always target the highest bonus tier your budget allows, here, the ¥648 tier for $100, rather than spreading purchases across smaller bundles.
- Watch for Promotions: Occasional events or first-time top-up bonuses on HoYoLAB or official livestream channels can grant extra Primogems beyond standard bonuses; stay tuned to the official Genshin Impact site and social media for announcements
- Regional Pricing Variations: Some regions see slight pricing differences, consult the in-game shop to confirm the exact amount you’ll be charged and the Crystals you’ll receive.
