About Genshin Impact Battle Pass

According to the general definition, a Battle Pass is a system that provides additional content for a game, usually through a tiered system. It rewards players with in-game items for playing the game and completing specific challenges.

Genshin Impact Battle Pass Level — Unlock various rewards from completing the Battle Pass.

The first battle pass model was the season pass ticketing system that originated from Dota 2 in 2013. From there, the Battle Pass model started to gain more use as an alternative to subscription fees and loot boxes. Battle Passes tend to offer free passes to all users, and a premium pass that requires annual or seasonal charges in exchange for better items and cosmetics.

That's also the definition for the Genshin Impact Battle Pass model.

1. Unlock Requirement

Upon hitting Adventurer Rank 20, players will unlock Genshin Impact’s Battle Pass. They can start doing various daily, weekly, and BP Period missions in order to gain Battle Pass EXP (BEP).

Genshin Impact Girl Characters — Reach level 20 to access the Battle Pass.

2. Variations

The Battle Pass has two versions in Genshin Impact.

Sojourner’s Battle Pass is the free Battle Pass to all players. And there's a paid option: Gnostic Hymn's Battle Pass which costs $10 USD and will unlock second-tier rewards for the player. Anyone who purchases the Gnostic Hymn will also get an extra reward at BP Lv. 30. They can choose one of the 4★ weapons from the BP Bounty.

Genshin Impact Battle Pass Premium — You have 2 pay-wall options.

Last but not least, we have an upgraded version of the Gnostic Hymn's Battle Pass: Gnostic Chorus. It costs $19.99 USD (or $11.99 if you already bought Gnostic Hymn) and contains the following perks:

Include access to all Gnostic Hymn rewards for the current BR period.
Advance BP Level by 10.
Travel Notes: Midsummer Travel Notes: Midsummer Namecard style. Cool style for 1.6 summer update!
Furnishing Blueprint "Summer Forest Banquet".
Fragile Resin Fragile Resin ×5 (Recover Stamina).

Note: Variations for the BP system on PC are the same as those of Genshin Impact Battle Pass PS4 and Xbox One.

3. Rewards

The Battle Pass uses a separate leveling system that draws EXP from complete simple daily and weekly quests. Each quest will reward players with a set amount of Battle Pass EXP. Each BP level takes 1,000 BP EXP. The common quests will be doing are fighting Stormterror once a week, or logging in and doing daily four Commissions.

Genshin Impact Battle Pass Claimed — Multiple rewards are waiting for you to claim.

If you're an active player, you can level up your Battle Pass just by playing normally. You can earn up to 10,000 BP EXP a week. And since the Battle Pass caps at 50 levels, it will take you 5 weeks or more to complete and earn all of the rewards.

Genshin Impact Battle Pass Value is actually greater than it seems. Check out the rewards you can earn from the Gnostic Hymn's Battle Pass in the current period:

Should you buy Genshin Impact Battle Pass?

Must you buy the Battle Pass to enjoy Genshin Impact? Absolutely not! Genshin Impact is still a free-to-play game and there's content for F2P players to grind materials from. However, it would take longer compared to players who purchase the Battle Pass.

For just $10 USD, you can unlock all of the items we listed above from doing quests. Moreover, the quests are so easy and some of them you would end up doing anyway, so why don't get paid for it?

In our opinion, the value of the Gnostic Hymn's Battle Pass is much higher than its face value of $10 USD. Just a few materials alone have already cover that. So, if you want to power up your account fast, buy a Genshin Impact Battle Pass. For more guides and articles about Genshin Impact, visit our website at GuruGamer.com.
