Genshin Impact is an open-world action RPG with a gacha–like system, called “Wish,” for acquiring new characters and high-tier weaponry. The gameplay consists of collecting a unique in-game currency (which can be gathered through several in-game tasks) named Primogems or Fates and then doing “pulls” on different limited and permanent banners. Given the overall randomness of Genshin Impact banners and how disappointed the players can get, many end up using a Genshin Impact wish simulator to see what they could get without having to spend way too much IRL money.
What is a Genshin Impact Wish Simulator?
Genshin Impact wish simulators are unofficial websites or applications that can mimic Genshin Impact’s gacha. These simulators allow you to make an endless number of “wishes” on virtual tickets without wasting real in-game currency or real money. They aim to emulate the thrill of the wishing process, as well as the way in-game pulling looked and sounded.
How Do Genshin Impact Wish Simulators Work?
Wish simulators just perfectly simulate the gacha probability system behind those wish categories in Genshin Impact. One of them is doing the core mechanics:
- Banners: As a majority, if the sim is for a current or previous in-game banner, it generally contains between 2 to 4 banners and the different banners based around that banner. This includes Character Event Wishes, Weapon Event Wishes (Epitome Invocation), and the Standard Wish banner.
- Pity System: There is a pity system on most banners. Stars appear r a guaranteed 4-star item every 10 wishes and a guaranteed 5-star item every 90 wishes, with h great pity system. Simulators replicate this “pity” counter.
- 50/50 Chances: You’ll only receive the 5-star standard if you are your ‘five’; if you ‘lose’ that 50/50, you are guaranteed to get the 5-star character exactly as this 50% chance to receive the 5-star character, which will be seen in the character event banner used in a wish. Wish simulators integrate this probability.
- Drop Rates: They optimally align with the official drop rates of 3-star, 4-star, and 5-star items
As a player, do a one-pull or 10-pull action, and see before you the virtual inventory of characters and weapons that exist within your grasp. Some even attach cash values to what those pulls would have cost in real life had they been done in-game.
Why Use a Genshin Impact Wish Simulator?
Players utilize wish simulators for several reasons:
- Entertainment: It is a free of cost way to gamble and kill time.
- Testing Luck: the user can try to take as much as he wants to see if the luck helps!
- Strategy Planning: Discussing your pulls and how to use your characters is always easier with simulators, as it allows players to get the gacha under their belts. They can test how many pulls it takes to get a specific character or even get a jump on their Primogem saving plans for upcoming banners.
- Avoiding Overspending: If anyone got their gacha scratch by catching virtual fish, they may be less inclined to spend money on the actual one.
It’s important to remember that while these tools closely mirror the in-game system, they are unofficial and the results obtained in a simulator do not transfer to a player’s actual Genshin Impact account.
