PSA: Participate in Genshin Impact’s web event to earn free Natlan weapons (and Primogems)

A new web event for Genshin Impact takes us on a delightful tour of the new nation of Nathan. In addition to the usual Primogems, however, this web event offers an opportunity to win some brand-new Natlan weapons. Here’s how you can get in on the action.

How to participate in Genshin Impact’s Natlan web event

The Natlan-themed web event, titled “Off We Go to the Nation of Pyro!” lasts until September 24 and can be accessed via its official webpage. Wait for the page to load, then click or swipe through the animations to reach the end. You can also skip this initial showcase with a button in the top left corner. After getting through the showcase, there are two things you need to do to claim all of the web event rewards.

Cheer for the Natlan weapons

Scroll down or click on the middle tile to Cheer for the Sacred Flame Pilgrimage. This part of the web event will award the new Natlan weapons. To participate, log into your Genshin Impact account and press the Cheer button at the bottom. You’ll add anywhere between 1-8 Cheers to the total Cheer count. When the web event counts 30 million Cheers across all servers, all participants will receive three of the new craftable Natlan weapons at the start of Version 5.0, as well as some materials.

A little tip: You can Cheer once per UID. This means that if you used your account to create characters on multiple servers, you can Cheer again for each additional character you have.

Once Version 5.0 is live, all participants should receive their prizes via in-game mail. Be sure to log in after the Natlan update on August 28 to claim your prizes and check out the new content.

Are the Natlan weapons good?

The three weapons featured in the web event are 4-star craftable weapons from Natlan. The Polearm, Earth Shaker, has a DEF secondary stat and gives its wielder additional DEF when casting a Skill. The Catalyst, Ring of Yaxche, has an HP secondary stat and improves Normal Attack damage based on its wielder’s maximum HP. The Claymore, Earth Shaker, has an ATK secondary stat and gives its wielder additional Skill damage when triggering a Pyro reaction.

Given the weapon types, it’s likely that the Polearm, Catalyst, and Claymore will be good options for Kachina, Mualani, and Kinich, respectively. If you want to save some Primogems and billets, it’s a good idea to try to snag these weapons early. These weapons are especially nice since, even though they’re four-stars, the materials used to craft them are quite rare. Genshin Impact has never given out weapons as web event rewards before.

If you miss out on this web event, you can still obtain these weapons by playing Genshin Impact. After Version 5.0 releases, these weapons will be craftable at any smithy using weapon billets. Just be sure to buy the blueprints from Alom at Natlan’s smithy.

Free Primogems

Of course, no web event is complete without Primogems. From the main page, click on the right tile for the Version 5.0 Preview. Scroll until you get to the page showcasing three new Elite enemies. Click a button at the bottom of the screen to claim your Primogem rewards. Your Primogems will arrive in your Genshin Impact inbox immediately – no need to wait for 5.0!
