Genshin Wish Calculator
Plan character banner wishes using current pity, guaranteed status, Primogems, Intertwined Fates, Starglitter value, and 50/50 risk. This calculator helps you decide whether to pull now, save for a rerun, or stop before a banner drains your next patch.
Calculate your wish plan
Character event wishes commonly use 90 hard pity, with many players treating the mid-70s as soft pity territory. This tool models planning needs around those assumptions and the 160 Primogem cost per wish.
How to think about Genshin wishes
A wish plan is partly math and partly self-control. The math tells you how many wishes you have, how far you are from pity, and how much a worst-case featured character could cost. The self-control part decides whether you keep pulling after an early win, whether you risk a 50/50 when the next banner matters more, and whether you stop at a planned limit instead of chasing a feeling.
For character event banners, players often plan around 90 hard pity and a 50/50 featured chance unless the next 5-star is guaranteed. If you are not guaranteed, the worst-case path to one featured character can require two 5-star pulls. That does not mean you will always need the worst case. It means the worst case is the safest budget if you do not want the banner to surprise you.
Pity
Pity is the count of wishes since your last 5-star on the same banner category.
Guarantee
Guarantee means the next 5-star on that banner type is expected to be featured after a lost 50/50.
Wish budget
Wish budget combines Primogems, fates, and any exchange wishes you are comfortable using.
Wish planning reference
| Planning item | Common value | Why it matters | Player note |
|---|---|---|---|
| One wish | 160 Primogems | Converts saved Primogems into usable pulls. | Always count fates separately so you do not understate your budget. |
| Character hard pity | 90 wishes | Conservative ceiling for one 5-star on character event banners. | You may get a 5-star earlier, but plan safely if the target matters. |
| Soft pity | Often planned around mid-70s | Many players expect odds to feel better in this range. | Use it as a comfort signal, not a guarantee. |
| 50/50 risk | Featured or standard 5-star | Determines whether one 5-star is enough for the target. | If not guaranteed, protect enough wishes for a second 5-star when possible. |
| Stop point | Your chosen limit | Prevents one banner from consuming the next plan. | Write it down before pulling. |
How to avoid regret pulls
Decide the banner's role before you pull. Is the character essential to a favorite team, a comfort pick, a collection goal, or just hype? A favorite can be worth a deep investment. A maybe character might be better saved for a rerun. If you cannot explain why the pull improves your account or enjoyment, the safer answer is usually to wait.
Set a stop point in wishes, not in mood. For example, you may decide to pull until the next 5-star only, stop after one 50/50 loss, or save a fixed number of wishes for the next patch. When the stop point is clear, you avoid turning a small plan into a full savings wipeout. This is especially useful for players who stream pulls because chat excitement can make restraint harder.
If you create gaming content, live pulls can be entertaining when expectations are honest. Viewers enjoy the suspense, but responsible planning makes the stream healthier. BIGO LIVE's game streaming platform guide can help you turn gaming moments into interactive shows without making every moment about spending.
FAQs
How many Primogems do I need for 90 wishes?
Each wish costs 160 Primogems, so 90 wishes cost 14,400 Primogems if you have no Intertwined Fates or exchange wishes.
What does current pity mean?
Current pity is the number of wishes made since your last 5-star on the same banner type. Higher pity means fewer wishes remain before hard pity.
What does guaranteed mean in Genshin wishes?
Guaranteed usually means you lost the previous 50/50 on that banner type, so the next 5-star is expected to be the featured character.
Why does the worst-case number look so high?
If you are not guaranteed, the conservative route to one featured character may require losing one 50/50 and then reaching another 5-star.
Does this simulate exact pull odds?
No. It is a planning calculator, not a probability simulator. It focuses on worst-case wishes, available budget, and practical stop points.
Should I spend Starglitter on wishes?
That depends on your account goals. The calculator lets you include extra wishes from Starglitter only if you are comfortable using them for the banner.
Healthy pull planning
A good wish plan also respects your future account. Keep a reserve for characters you already know you want, and avoid turning every new banner into an emergency. If you enjoy collecting, define what “enough” means before the banner opens. If you care about Spiral Abyss or combat comfort, ask whether the new unit improves teams you actually play. If you mainly want the character because everyone is excited, wait a day and see whether the desire survives outside the launch rush.
When you stream pulls, say the budget out loud at the start. Viewers can still enjoy the suspense, and the clear limit helps the session feel fun rather than pressured.
