Paimon’s Bargains: Your Guide to Stardust and Starglitter in Genshin Impact
Paimon’s Bargains serves as a central exchange point for players of Genshin Impact, allowing them to trade Stardust and Starglitter for characters, weapons, and other items. These two resources play distinct roles within the game, and understanding their differences is crucial for optimizing your gameplay strategy.
While both Stardust and Starglitter may sound similar, they are not interchangeable. Stardust is earned through acquiring 3-star weapons, whereas Starglitter is specifically tied to the monthly rotation of characters and is obtained by acquiring duplicate 4 or 5-star items. The ability to collect and utilize these currencies effectively can greatly enhance your gameplay experience.
How to Acquire Stardust & Starglitter
Both Stardust and Starglitter can be gathered through the Wishes system in Genshin Impact. Specifically, each time you receive a 3-star weapon from a wish, you are rewarded with Stardust. In contrast, Starglitter can only be earned by obtaining duplicate 4 or 5-star characters or weapons. Since duplicates are less common early in the game, understanding how to manage these resources is essential.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that Paimon’s Bargains refreshes its inventory on the first day of every month, making it important to check regularly.
Exploring the Starglitter Exchange
Starglitter ranks as one of the rarest currencies in Genshin Impact, owing to its limited availability. Players can save their Starglitter for a myriad of permanent items, including Intertwined Fates and Acquaint Fates.
The Starglitter Exchange features a fixed rotation of characters and weapons. Each character costs 34 Starglitter to acquire, while weapons are available for 24 Starglitter. Keep in mind that players cannot trade Starglitter for characters they already possess, making strategic planning essential.
Character and Weapon Rotation
| Months | Characters | Weapons |
|---|---|---|
| January & July | Fischl & Xiangling | Blackcliff Weapon Series |
| February & August | Beidou & Noelle | Royal Weapon Series |
| March & September | Ningguang & Xingqiu | Blackcliff Weapon Series |
| April & October | Razor & Amber | Royal Weapon Series |
| May & November | Bennett & Lisa | Blackcliff Weapon Series |
| June & December | Barbara & Kaeya | Royal Weapon Series |
To gain access to all permanent items in the Starglitter Exchange, players must reach Adventure Rank 35.
Understanding the Stardust Exchange
The items available in the Stardust Exchange are similar to those found in the Starglitter Exchange, but they require a slightly higher amount of Stardust for trades. The items here are more accessible, as players can start exchanging them from Adventure Rank 10.
One of the unique offerings of the Stardust Exchange is the discounted rate for both Intertwined Fates and Acquaint Fates each month. However, be mindful of the monthly limits imposed on these resources. It is advisable for players to acquire the maximum number of Fates as a priority, allowing for more flexible choices concerning other materials later on.
