What is the Battle Pass ?

Here's what you need to know about Genshin Impact's Battle Pass.

Missions to Claim Valuable Rewards

The Battle Pass will allow you to get more rewards as you complete various tasks in the game. By completing in-game tasks, you will earn Battle Pass EP (BEP) that is used to increase your BP Level. Each level rewards you with different prizes, which includes Mora, Enhancement Ores, Fragile Resin, and Fates.

Battle Passes lasts one whole patch cycle.

Complete Tasks for BEP

To get the rewards from the Battle Pass, Travelers must accomplish a series of Daily and Weekly tasks. Accomplishing these tasks will give you BEP, which allows you to complete each level and receive your rewards.

Free and Paid Battle Pass

Genshin Impact's Battle Pass has a free and paid option. Both grant you different kinds of rewards, with the paid option giving you more materials, and even a weapon.

Sojourner's Battle Pass

The Sojourner's Battle Pass is the free option. This is available to all players who have reached Adventure Rank 20, allowing you to receive materials, Mora, and free Wishes.

Gnostic Hymn

The Gnostic Hymn is the paid version of the Battle Pass. Purchasing this allows Travelers to receive all item rewards upon reaching the required levels.

Gnostic Chorus

Another paid option is the Gnostic Chorus. This allows you to receive all current Battle Pass rewards, along with instantly unlocking 10 levels worth of rewards. You also receive a special Namecard corresponding to the current event.

How Much is the Battle Pass?

Battle Pass Cost

The two paid Battle Pass tier prices and rewards are as follows (prices are listed in US dollars).

Battle Pass Weapon Analysis

Weapon	Weapon Info & Refinement Priority
The Black Sword	A good Main DPS weapon. Lets you run teams without a healer. Lower on the tier list because of the limited amount of characters who can properly take advantage of its passive. Refinements do not have a huge impact on its performance. Refinement Priority: Low
Serpent Spine	The best weapon in the Battle Pass because of its flexibility for any role. It can compete with 5-star weapons at higher refinements, just don' get hit! Refinement Priority: High
Solar Pearl	A strong Main DPS and a good Sub-DPS weapon. Usable by multiple characters and provides a unique buff from the weapon's passive. Refinement Priority: Medium
The Viridescent Hunt	A decent crit boost weapon for Main DPS characters. Performs better when against multiple enemies. There are lots of 4-star bows that are more specialized compare to this weapon, which makes it lower on the tier list. Refinement Priority: Low
Deathmatch	One of the best 4-star polearms in the game. It's excellent for Main DPS but also decent for Sub-DPS characters. Refinement Priority: Medium
Wolf-Fang	Great for most Sword users that rely on Elemental Skill and Bursts. Effect is even greater for characters that can repeatedly attack the enemies with the same attack. Refinement Priority: High
Talking Stick	Conditional weapon that requires a specific element to be applied to the character. Stat boosts are highly dependent on your team composition. Refinement Priority: Low
Ballad of the Fjords	Requires three or more unique elements and good on team comps that specializes with Elemental Mastery. Some Polearm users may prefer Energy Recharge weapons more. Refinement Priority: Medium
Sacrificial Jade	Weapon is more specific for characters who use both HP and Elemental Mastery, and are also off-field. There are better weapon options for most of the current Catalyst users. Refinement Priority: Low
Scion of the Blazing Sun	Great bow for characters specializing in Aimed Charged Attacks. CRIT Rate will be helpful for players who cannot do guaranteed CRIT from headshots. Refinement Priority: Medium

Is it Worth Buying the Gnostic Hymn Battle Pass?

Recommended for Active Players

If you actively play Genshin Impact, then it's recommended to buy the Gnostic Hymn Battle pass, since this package contains useful materials for enhancing your characters and equipment.

Finishing your daily tasks and at least half of your weekly tasks will help you gain levels quickly.

It takes Effort to Grind for Rewards

Grinding for items in the battle pass requires doing dailies and weeklies. If you cannot actively play everyday, buying this battle pass is not recommended.

Skip Gnostic Chorus

It is recommended to skip the Gnostic Chorus. While it contains an additional 5 Fragile Resin, it's best to hold off buying it until all the Battle Pass rewards have been unlocked. Getting the Gnostic Hymn is a much more cost-effective option, giving you all of the important rewards (Weapon and Materials) at a much lower price.

How to Level Up Battle Pass

Do Daily, Weekly, and BP Period Missions

In order to level up the Battle Pass, you need to complete Battle Pass missions that grant you EXP. Gaining 1000 EXP will level up your Battle Pass by 1. There are a total of 50 Battle Pass levels and you will need a total of 50,000 Battle Pass EXP to get all the rewards.

These missions can be daily, weekly, or missions that span the whole BP period.

Daily Missions

Daily Missions reset everyday at 4:00 AM, depending on the local server time. Any unclaimed missions will reset to zero and you will have to start over again for the day.

Weekly Missions

Weekly Missions reset every Monday at 4:00 AM, depending on the local server time. Any unclaimed missions will reset to zero and you will have to start over again for this week.

Battle Pass Period Missions

Along with these tasks, you can also accomplish special event missions. These missions will only be available for a certain time period, which means you have to accomplish them before they end.

Tips & Tricks to Level Up Battle Pass

Complete all the Daily Missions

Completing Daily Missions will give you 645 Battle Pass EXP, for a total of 4,515 EXP every week.

Some Weekly Missions are Easy to Complete

The following Weekly Missions can be completed without needing to use up Original Resin. Especially if you have a well-built Housing, these missions will be easier for you to complete.

For example, you can cook Teyvat Fried Egg 20 times with a cheap ingredient, to complete ''Cook 20 Dishes'' mission.

• Obtain a total of 1,000 Realm Currency
• Create a total of 10 furnishings
• Purchase 2 items from the Teapot Traveling Salesman in another player's Serenitea Pot
• Complete 3 Requests
• Complete 3 Bounties
• Cook 20 Dishes
• Forge 20 Items

Do Low Level Domains Without Claiming to Complete Missions

You can also complete bosses, domains, and Ley Line missions by simply defeating the boss or mobs without claiming the rewards, and it will add up to your BP mission count! Make sure to do low-level ones when doing this so it's faster!

• Defeat boss opponents 10 times
• Complete Ley Line deposit challenge 20 times
• Complete Trounce Domains or the Dominator of Wolves challenge 3 times

Use Primogems to Level Up Battle Pass

You can also use 150 Primogems to level up your Battle Pass by 1. While this is an option you can use, it is much better to save your Primogems and use it on Wishes.
