Why do primos dodge me

I absolutely despise farming primos in genshin. Its such a pain to explore every region in an open world game where most of the areas are quest locked so you gotta spend more time and sometimes the world quests matter and have insane lore so you gotta spend even more time paying attention to them. I care about alot about the lore of genshin and stuff so automatically quests alone are exhausting but the primos? Theyre js disgusting. Every single time i resort to exploration for primos i spend so damn long trying to figure out one chest from the other and what chest i have and havent opened yet. I explore with the interactive map, i finish the archon quest for a region and i try to finish every world quest in the region, i watch a bazillion yt tutorials and guides, heck i literally even have a stupid f2p exploration team (sayu, iansan, ifa, kachina for climbing until i get xilonen) i use this rarely for every region in general but specifically in natlan. My average primo per hour rate is so low (~350 primos per hour in natlan rn) and i cant seem to do anything about it but when my friend does exploration in her account she gets ~1400 primos per hour in natlan. Add to that ive been playing for almost a year (cause of my mans wriothesley) and i only have 8 5-stars (navia, lauma, nahida, furina, c1 tighnari, diluc, dehya which i lost to in xilonen banner this version, qiqi today from standard banner) i keep mfing losing in a row every single time at high pity never below 83 except for my first ever 5 star, navia, at 19 pity but still its so draining watching all my hard work go down the drain like that every single time makes me js wanna quit. The reason im saying this just now not earlier is cause that same friend just got 3 5-stars in one 10 pull about 15 minutes ago… and she got jean as her 3rd 5 star so shes now guaranteed columbina. Im happy for her and everything ofc but like xilonen’s banner is almost over and im on 26 pity with xilonen, i prefarmed everything PERFECTLYYY i js need to get her for my navia team and later neuvi team and im done w my account but no my luck decides to give me the worst time of my life. I spend sometimes a whole day for just primos and all i get is about 1100 primos. What am i doing so wrong in exploration that gives me so little primos per hour? Help me please😭 (completely f2p player status)

Your priority every region should be reputation, compass help a ton in completing the region, especially Nod-krai. You may be able to 100 nod krai in about 3 days or less. Regarding your primo per hour count, it's just like that, you are not supposed to be able to get 10 pulls in a hour, 5 pulls per hour is a excellent amount, take into account that the more you farm, the less primos you will have left, so expect a drop in farming quantity. If you are able to, end game modes help a bit, theatre easy mode is easily completed and stygian onslaught lowest difficulty is also pretty easy.
Also, plan your pulls, it should be a maximum of 3 or 4 5 stars per version, ideally, one on the first half and other on the second half with their weapons, if you want to pull two characters that come out at the same time, then start saving half a version in advance, research if they are good f2p options for weapons, which normally have, and think if you really need the weapon or not.

Im ar56 and i finished nod krai exploration ever since release so basically i did the early access to nod krai and farmed it dry of primos. And yes i am working on the compasses now especially the fontaine compass cause by the time i 100% natlan i want to work on fontaine next plus the compasses dont exactly provide thag much for me as i use the interactive map

BeginningMulberry5472026-01-07 01:21

Did you compete natlan, since natlan compass is the easiest one to get and natlan is also daily easy to complete. You can also just do missions, as world quest help slot with reputation, especially with this update.

MohamedPlayz_reddit2026-01-07 01:24

I mean im just about to get 100% on tetequa-whatever valley (entrance in natlan) im 89% now and im trying to finish the Pledge and Forgettance quest which needs like 2 other major world quests to be unlocked

BeginningMulberry5472026-01-07 01:27

If you are desperate, natlan anf Fontaine yield a pretty high primo count, but you prolly won't be able to get Varessa nor Xilonene if you are going for them.

MohamedPlayz_reddit2026-01-07 01:40

im trying my absolute best for xilonen i have to have her shes best in slot for 2 of my dpses which are navia and neuvi in the future plus shes an awesome universal

BeginningMulberry5472026-01-07 01:43

Damn, you in for some days of pure farming my guy.

Material-Pension41402026-01-07 01:19

I get it. Your priority should be reputation and the compass, esespecially in Nod-Kraii. Plan your pulls carefully.

BusEasy12472026-01-07 01:24

Lol I pulled one 5★ every couple version until Nod-Krai when I managed to pull Lauma, Nefer, Flins and Durin

The_Great_Ravioli2026-01-07 01:17

TLDR: OP hates playing the game.

MohamedPlayz_reddit2026-01-07 01:20

nah i enjoy the lore and building and collecting characters and the gameplay too but the exploration is just out of hand atp i have no idea what im doing wrong so i had to come rant here😭

No-Piano-9872026-01-07 01:26

You're not doing anything wrong. This is how the game is designed for f2p players. You either have the willpower to save roughly 160 wishes for the character you want or you leave it up to chance. That's it. Genshin is by far Hoyo's most stingy game in terms of free wishes given each patch. Check out all the leak subs for the estimated number of wishes for each patch in Genshin, HSR, and ZZZ. You'll see how far behind Genshin is.

My advice is to stop playing the game like it's a job. Take your time. Accept that you won't get everything you want unless you open up your wallet. You said you enjoy the lore, so do that. The reward is the enjoyment of the story, not the 30 primogems at the end.

Here's a rule of thumb when you want to write a lot: Use paragraphs. It's amazing how easier to read things become.

I mean, sure, it's just a wall of ranting, so no much lost in skim-reading, but still.

MohamedPlayz_reddit2026-01-07 01:28

i was writing this on my phone. Completely forgot those existed

"i despise farming primos" yeah that is all i need to hear.

Ravemst2026-01-07 01:26

Dude exploring is the main thing about this game and it's super easy. If you're so lazy that it's a pain go play something else or spend money those are your only options. Seriously getting primos isn't that hard and all it takes is a small bit of effort.

natiewow2026-01-07 01:35

Wow, some people play this game only to be miserable. If the speed of getting primos is so important to you, just wait till you run out of content and have to rely on daily commissions alone.

kazuyaminegishi2026-01-07 01:50

Tl;dr OP got salted by their friend and is now trying to rage pull but is being held back by the fact that they actually like the game more than the slot machine.

illoterra2026-01-07 03:35

This is such a weird way to handle exploration.

I get that there are people who speedrun their explorations, but generally you're supposed to take time exploring. Some people even dislike Fontaine because exploring it feels too easy and doesn't give you the satisfaction from completing intriguing and complex puzzles like in Inazuma or Sumeru.

You can't exactly treat Genshin like other simpler games where you can sweep the contents to farm for gacha currency. That's just not how the game is designed to be played.

Wanting to skip the story is understandable. But wanting to skip exploration in an exploration game is just beyond my comprehension.

Neospanner2026-01-07 17:01

If you hate grinding primos - don't grind primos.

Plenty of players have already cleared all the game's content. They CANNOT get more Primogems by exploration, because there aren't any to get. So how do they get Primogems?

Daily commissions. Periodic events. Some delve into endgame stuff like Spiral Abyss to pick up a few.

If you hate searching for chests, just stop, and enter this stage early. Limit yourself to the same Primogems that late-game players are limited to.
