Every Genshin Impact spender ends up comparing the same two shop items: Blessing of the Welkin Moon at US$4.99 and the Gnostic Hymn Battle Pass at US$9.99. Both pay out Primogems, both have a real use case, and the right pick depends on where your account sits. Below is the 2026 math for Welkin Moon vs Battle Pass, plus where Singapore and other Asia-server players can buy Welkin and Genesis Crystals on Elitedias.
TL;DR:
- Welkin Moon (US$4.99): 300 Genesis Crystals on purchase plus 90 Primogems a day for 30 days, 3,000 Primogems in total. The best Primogem rate in the game.
- Gnostic Hymn (US$9.99): 680 Primogems and 4 Intertwined Fates across 50 levels (1,320 Primogems of wish value), plus a 4-star Battle Pass weapon and levelling materials.
- Welkin wins on Primogems per dollar. The Battle Pass wins on materials for accounts still building characters.
- Buy both if you log in daily and pull on most banners.
- Singapore and Asia-server players: Elitedias sells Welkin Moon and Genesis Crystals on its Genshin Impact USA listing, which tops up accounts on the Asia, America, Europe and TW/HK/MO servers. Pick Asia at checkout.
What each subscription actually delivers
Blessing of the Welkin Moon
- Price: US$4.99 in the in-game shop. On Elitedias the SGD price is shown on the product page before you pay.
- Upfront reward: 300 Genesis Crystals, which convert 1:1 to Primogems.
- Daily reward: 90 Primogems a day for 30 days. You have to log in to collect each day's Primogems, and a missed day is gone.
- Total: 300 + (90 × 30) = 3,000 Primogems per 30-day cycle, or 18.75 wishes at 160 Primogems each.
- Stacking: you can buy several Welkins in a row and the days add up, so buying ahead keeps the daily claims running without a gap.
Gnostic Hymn (paid Battle Pass)
- Price: US$9.99 per Battle Pass, which runs alongside each game version, roughly six weeks.
- Wish currency: 680 Primogems and 4 Intertwined Fates across levels 1 to 50, worth 1,320 Primogems in wishes.
- Weapon: a choice of one 4-star weapon from the Battle Pass weapon selection at level 30.
- Materials: extra Mora, Hero's Wit, Mystic Enhancement Ore and talent books on the paid track.
- Gnostic Chorus: the US$19.99 tier is the same pass with 10 levels unlocked immediately and a bonus bundle. It adds no extra Primogems or Fates.
The Primogem math: which actually gets you more wishes?
Measured purely on cost per wish, Welkin Moon wins by a wide margin. Using the US dollar shop prices:
- Welkin Moon: 3,000 Primogems for US$4.99, about US$0.27 per wish.
- Gnostic Hymn: 1,320 Primogems of wish value for US$9.99, about US$1.21 per wish.
- 1,090 Genesis Crystal pack: US$14.99, about US$2.20 per wish, or about US$1.10 per wish when the first-purchase double bonus applies.
That puts Welkin more than four times ahead of the Battle Pass on Primogem efficiency. If your only goal is pulling on banners, Welkin is the obvious first purchase every cycle.
The Battle Pass is not really competing on Primogems, though. Its 4 Intertwined Fates, a free 4-star weapon, and a steady flow of Mora, Hero's Wit and talent books save weeks of Original Resin on an account that is still levelling characters. For that player, the materials are worth more than the wishes.
When Welkin wins, when Battle Pass wins
The answer depends on your Adventure Rank and what is holding your account back:
- AR 20 to 45: Battle Pass first. You are short on Mora, Hero's Wit, talent books and weapons, and the Gnostic Hymn covers all four.
- AR 45 to 55: mixed. Artifact farming starts to eat your resin, so the Battle Pass materials still help, but Welkin's Primogems matter more each version.
- AR 55 and above: Welkin first. Mora and Hero's Wit pile up on a mature account, and Primogems for the next limited banner are what you actually need.
- Only buying one thing: Welkin. Its 3,000 Primogems per month is the most sustainable spend in Genshin.
When NOT to buy either
- You log in a few times a week. Most of Welkin's value is the daily claim, and missing ten or more days a month makes it worse than a straight Genesis Crystal pack.
- You will not reach level 50 on the Battle Pass this version. The Fates and Primogems sit near the end of the track, so a half-finished Gnostic Hymn returns little.
- Nothing on the next two banners interests you. Save Primogems for a banner you want rather than spending to keep a subscription running.
- You are brand new. Clear the free beginner wishes, Adventure Rank rewards and early exploration chests first; they pay out far more Primogems than any purchase.
Combined: worth buying both?
Running Welkin continuously and buying the Gnostic Hymn each version is the standard "committed but not a whale" spend. Over a six-week version that works out to roughly:
- About 4,200 Primogems from Welkin (daily claims plus the upfront crystals across 1.4 cycles).
- 1,320 Primogems of wish value from the Battle Pass.
- The Battle Pass weapon, Mora, Hero's Wit and talent books on top.
That adds up to around 5,500 Primogems, roughly 34 wishes per version, for about US$17. Casual players get by on Welkin alone; players chasing every limited 5-star usually run both.
How Singapore and Asia-server players top up Genshin on Elitedias
Elitedias lists one Genshin Impact product: Genshin Impact USA. Despite the name, it is not limited to American accounts. The order form tops up accounts on the Asia, America, Europe and TW/HK/MO servers, and Asia is the server most of its orders go to. If you followed an older link to a Genshin Impact Singapore page, that listing has been retired and this one replaces it.
Your UID tells you which server to pick. UIDs starting with 8 are on Asia, 6 on America, 7 on Europe and 9 on TW/HK/MO. Most Singapore players are on Asia, so they select the Asia server at checkout. Genesis Crystals are credited to the UID on the server you choose, so check it against the login screen before paying.
The listing carries Blessing of the Welkin Moon and Genesis Crystal packs from 60 to 8,080. It does not carry the Gnostic Hymn, which you buy from the Battle Pass screen in game. Prices are shown in SGD, and the payment methods available for your currency are listed at checkout. The order form asks only for your UID and server, and the top-up is credited after payment confirmation.
Is it safe to top up Genshin Impact from a third party?
Yes, as long as the platform sources its top-ups through authorised distributors rather than reseller codes, gift cards or account-binding shortcuts. Elitedias tops up through authorised distributors, so the currency is credited to the UID you enter and you never share a login.
Key red flags with unknown top-up sites: asking for your account password, requiring you to share your Facebook or Google login, promising 30%+ discounts on in-app pricing (almost always a scam), and no visible review history. Elitedias is reviewed publicly on Trustpilot at trustpilot.com/review/elitedias.com. If you are unsure which server your account is on, message Elitedias on WhatsApp or Telegram before you pay.
Verdict
Pick Welkin if you just want wishes. Pick the Battle Pass if you are still building characters and need materials. Pick both if you log in daily and pull on most banners. Singapore and other Asia-server players can buy Welkin and Genesis Crystals on the Genshin Impact USA listing by selecting the Asia server; the Gnostic Hymn stays an in-game purchase.
