Fortune Coins are a special event currency in Genshin Impact that players often search for during limited time festivals and regional celebrations. These coins are not part of the permanent world economy like Mora or Primogems. Instead, they appear during specific events and are tied to unique rewards. Understanding how they work saves time, reduces confusion, and helps you clear event shops efficiently.
Fortune Coins usually exist as an event only currency. When an event introduces them, they are used to purchase items such as character materials, weapon upgrades, talent books, and cosmetic rewards. Once the event ends, unused Fortune Coins disappear, so planning matters.
Key points to remember include:
-
They are limited to certain events
-
They cannot be farmed outside the event period
-
They are spent in a dedicated event shop
-
They reset after the event ends
Because of this structure, players must focus on event objectives rather than normal exploration routes.
Events That Reward Fortune Coins
Most Fortune Coins appear during seasonal festivals or region themed events. Popular examples include lantern style celebrations, cultural story events, or mini game focused updates. While the event name may change, the structure remains familiar.
Common event activities include:
-
Completing event story quests
-
Participating in time limited combat challenges
-
Finishing exploration tasks in temporary areas
-
Playing mini games with score based rewards
Each completed task usually grants a fixed amount of Fortune Coins, making progress predictable.
How To Start Earning Fortune Coins
To begin collecting Fortune Coins, you must first unlock the event. This normally requires meeting basic conditions such as Adventure Rank requirements and completing certain Archon or Story Quests. Once unlocked, the event menu becomes available from the main interface.
Steps to start earning include:
-
Open the event overview from the menu
-
Read the event rules and objectives
-
Track tasks that reward Fortune Coins
-
Prioritize high value activities first
Following the event guide helps avoid wasting time on low reward tasks early on.
Best Strategies To Collect Fortune Coins Faster
Efficiency matters because events are time limited. Smart planning allows you to clear the event shop without stress. Focus on activities that offer the highest Fortune Coin payout for the least effort.
Effective strategies include:
-
Completing daily event missions consistently
-
Saving harder challenges for later when buffs unlock
-
Using trial characters provided by the event
-
Playing co op friendly tasks with friends when allowed
Avoid ignoring daily missions, as they often provide the best effort to reward ratio.
Spending Fortune Coins Wisely
Earning coins is only half the process. Spending them correctly ensures maximum value. Event shops usually contain limited items that cannot be obtained elsewhere during the same patch.
Priority purchases often include:
-
Crown or rare talent materials
-
Character ascension materials
-
Weapon enhancement resources
-
Event exclusive items
If you cannot clear the full shop, focus on rare items first and leave easily farmable materials for last.
