If I start today can I possibly get enough primo to guarantee Ineffa?

If so, what will be the best way?

Last time I played Inazuma was the latest region, and I completed all the archon quest till there.

Was always in the fence on starting again, especially with how lore heavy all the patches have been. Opportunity to gamble for Ineffa is a good reason now.

there's 10 days left in the banner so it's a maybe there is a lot of primo out there

h2odragon002026-01-03 09:46

I think they are referring to the Ineffa banner next patch

djkaerf3242026-01-03 10:04

yes i know that op was asking if they had enough time to guarantee ineffa (which is 180 pulls) if they started playing today... so i gave them the time they had left till the next patch

thwrlsgenshin2026-01-03 11:37

but Ineffa's banner lasts 21 days so OP has over than a month to grind.

Awkward-Surprise2026-01-03 08:58

Kinda, if you grind your ass off. You have 10 days before 6.3 plus with Ineffa banner duration lasting about 20 days. You have 1 month of time to grind those 25600 primos

cosmosRANDOM2026-01-03 18:43

Seems like beeg number, but think I might have *some* pity. And hopefully rngesus is with me.

Also 20 days is a lot of time, sort of.

Awkward-Surprise2026-01-03 21:16

You will get there no worries. There are a lot of free pull and primo laying out there.

dearmusic2026-01-03 09:00

>Last time I played Inazuma was the latest region

Oh yes, definitely. Open every single chest, do every single world challenge, do the current events, do the abyss and theatre, go through sumeru, natlan, nod krai, Fontaine, it's all just how much time you have and how much will you have.

jotenha12026-01-03 13:54

Calm down, you're going to overwhelm them way too easily if you start like that. It may not sound like a lot but you just went through 4 years of content, 70% of the map and what's probably 20+ hours of quests not to mention end game. That's not the right way to convince someone to come back. That's the right way to get them burnt-out 1h into the game.

dearmusic2026-01-03 13:57

I mean... The next banner is in 10 days, and then they get 6 weeks afterward, total of 52 days...

But you right, that's quite a lot of content.

jotenha12026-01-03 14:06

I've always found that the right way to do it is to try and relive what first got them into genshin, which pretty much boils down to go to any region and walk around looking for stuff.

If you stop thinking about grinding and just focus on enjoying the game, you'll eventually open up your bag and realize you just so happened to end up with 1000 pulls without realizing.

Then, and only then, can you consider recommending Archon Quests and World Quests, to try and get to meet the newer characters and stuff like that.

quizzically_quiet2026-01-03 18:12

The patch is 6 weeks, Ineffa's banner is only phase 1 so 3 weeks. They will burn out immediately if they go through so much content in such a short time.

cosmosRANDOM2026-01-03 18:42

Got what you mean. Just need to spend enough time..

*Am professional unemployed anyways lol*

Equivalent_Shoe_62462026-01-04 01:51

Is columbiny banner extra long?

parthmestry2026-01-03 09:22

Definitely. The new regions, Fontaine, Natlan, Nod Krai are very rewarding and easy to explore. We're also gonna get around 60 pulls in the first phase of 6.3, so you're good.

cosmosRANDOM2026-01-03 18:44

Oo more stuff is also nice. And the daily rewards will also stack up.

BlackTemplarKNB2026-01-03 09:29

You have quite a lot of potential gems, but ofc you would have to play a lot to catch up.

cosmosRANDOM2026-01-03 18:44

Time the grind, nothing new!

IcySignificance53402026-01-03 09:38

Oh absolutely. Exploration gives so so many pulls. I recommend doing all archon quests then exploring two regions. That should be more than enough and you've also got more than enough time.

omegavolt92026-01-03 10:07

There's a lot of region's worth of sigil content that will get you standard banner wishes in addition to the normal primogems you'll get from exploration/quests, and the stardust and starglitter can also get you a few extra wishes. You might have to grind pretty hard and pretty consistently to do it but I am certain there's more than enough primogems available to you with 3 complete regions and an incomplete region completely unexplored.

cosmosRANDOM2026-01-03 18:49

Didn't do enkanomiya either am pretty sure, so more moni there!

Stardust-Sparkles2026-01-03 10:09

If you are ready to no life for a week or two and grind absolutely every single area that now exists since you quit you can definitely make it

nerd_reader_51592026-01-03 10:15

plenty. I'd worry for your time though

cosmosRANDOM2026-01-03 18:50

Factorio has taught me how to survive losing 20 hrs a day, am ready!

Melantha_Hoang2026-01-03 10:31

Can you guarantee her? Yes

Is it difficult? Moderately, assuming you put around 2 hours every day for about 30 days, Archon quests, Story quests and world quest will take probably 2-3 weeks and you need to do exploration during that time as well

lostn2026-01-03 10:42

yes but it will take ages and be exhausting.

natzo2026-01-03 11:33

You technically only need 1 pull.

cosmosRANDOM2026-01-03 18:44

Amen

thwrlsgenshin2026-01-03 11:39

Focus on Natlan and Nod Krai exploration, trade pyro sigils to lvl up table of tona in Natlan, you get 50 gems each lvl and it's up to 50 so you get 2500 primogens there.

cosmosRANDOM2026-01-03 18:44

Gotcha o7

LOwOJ2026-01-03 11:41

kinda if you grind all the chest in the game its more than enough lol

alberich212026-01-03 12:29

Use a guide on YouTube to make sure you get all chests

Bunktavious2026-01-03 18:20

Its certainly doable, especially if you lost your last 50/50.

I started saving for Varesa and Xilonen at the start of Durin's banner. I pulled Varesa and I had to top up about $30 to pull Xilonen, but that was right at the start of their banner. Had I just played through the banner I would have made earned enough to get her without the top up.

Now I'm saving for Ineffa, and then I'll probably hold for Zibai - because I expect to see Columbina back fairly soon.

cosmosRANDOM2026-01-03 18:39

Hm, the only 5 star I have is Ayaka I am pretty sure lol. So might even have some pity

Tron_bonneLoFi2026-01-03 18:27

Try your luck, but don't rush sumeru main quest. It's the best in genshin and good enough to rival other popular games in quality. Completely different from the trash that is the first 3 archon quests.

The story starts to get really good from now on and if you rush to get ineffa you'll regret later.

Now about primos, the best regions to guarantee a huge amount of them would be natlan and nod krai, but unfortunately those regions are slightly locked behind quest lines. So I would recommend you to start playing the main quest in sumeru and skip everything else. Sumeru has a huge amount of primos and rewards, but the quest lines are GIGANTIC.

Do the main quest in Fontaine too (it's not bad, the good moments are amazing but the boring parts are terrible). Ignore Fontaine exploration and quests too.

Now natlan you should do the main quests and the tribes so you can get your compass, here you'll make A LOT OF PRIMOS. If you get bored or burn out by natlan mechanics and exploration, go to nord krai, is the easiest region to 100%, the quests are nice and the main story might even surpass sumeru. Doesn't have as many rewards as natlan but you can get a lot of primos here.

I think playing around 4 hours per day it'll take around 20 days to do everything I said, this should guarantee you ineffa and leave some pulls for columbina.

cosmosRANDOM2026-01-03 18:47

Story is the stuff am coming back for. Also the main factor for any gacha I play, ~~except gambling of course~~.

I won't skim through main quest don worry!

Tron_bonneLoFi2026-01-03 19:10

You'll be eating good then, you have no idea how much better the story is from sumeru onwards.

a7mdar12026-01-03 22:59

20 pulls from lunar new year's gifts + 11 pulls from dailies (in 30 days ) and a crap ton of pulls from everywhere else

Yes you can get enough as long as you play hard enough

Supreme-Machine-V22026-01-04 03:34

Definetly start from Natlan sigils also give primos here

zhonglisorder2026-01-04 08:55

Just a quick tip, look up and do the expansion maps like Girdles of the Sand or Chenyu Vale (there's quite a few of them). Imo they are by far the most compact and quickest burst of primos.

Don't be tempted by archon quests, they're like 4+ hours each for maybe 2 pulls.

jonnevituwu2026-01-04 18:25

If you literally do everything? Yeah problably.
