Two Genshin Impact events are still running — here’s what you’ll lose if you skip them

If you have been ignoring the event notifications piling up in Genshin Impact, you might want to open that menu before it is too late. Two limited-time events are still live: The Godforsaken Frostlands and When We Look Up at the Moon. Both hand out Primogems, Mora, and level-up materials, but neither will stick around forever. For free-to-play players saving for an upcoming character banner, these events represent one of the few reliable ways to stockpile Primogems without spending money.

Why these events matter right now

Genshin Impact’s patch cycle moves fast. Once an event window closes, those rewards are gone for good. With new character banners on the horizon, every Primogem counts — especially for players who do not buy Welkin Moon or Battle Pass. The Godforsaken Frostlands and When We Look Up at the Moon both offer exploration-based tasks that do not require resin, meaning you can complete them at your own pace without cutting into your domain farming. The catch is that HoYoverse has not published exact end dates in official materials, so the safest move is to check the in-game event page now rather than risk missing the cutoff.

The Godforsaken Frostlands: what to expect

This event sends players across the frozen northern regions of Teyvat to finish exploration objectives. If you have been procrastinating, the rewards justify the time investment. The tasks are straightforward: open chests, activate waypoints, and defeat specific enemies scattered across the frost-covered map.

How to join

• Meet the Adventure Rank requirement listed on the event page.
• Open the event menu and activate the tracking system.
• Work through the objectives in any order.

What you can earn

• Primogems (the exact count has not been confirmed in official materials)
• Mora
• Hero’s Wit and other character experience materials
• Possibly Intertwined Fate or similar Primogem-equivalent items — though this remains unconfirmed

When We Look Up at the Moon: photography meets exploration

This event leans into the moonlit atmosphere of Genshin Impact’s world. It blends exploration with light puzzle-solving and asks players to capture the night sky using the in-game camera or a special gadget. Some tasks require specific locations or in-game time conditions, so you may need to adjust your clock or teleport to certain areas to complete every objective.

Key mechanics

• Use the camera tool or a dedicated gadget to photograph moon-related subjects.
• Submit your best shots to claim rewards.
• Check each task for location and time-of-day requirements before setting out.

Reward breakdown

• Primogems (amount not specified in official sources)
• Mora
• Enhancement Ores for leveling weapons
• A Crown of Insight is possible but unconfirmed

What to do before the events end

If you have not started either event, here is the quickest path to grabbing the rewards:

1. Open the event menu immediately and claim any rewards that auto-completed from previous gameplay.
2. Prioritize tasks that reward Primogems above all else. Mora and ores are useful, but Primogems are the scarce resource.
3. Use the official HoYoLAB app to track your progress and set reminders so you do not forget the deadline.
4. Check your inventory for any event-specific items that might expire when the events end.

What remains unconfirmed

HoYoverse has not published exact reward amounts or firm end dates for either event in any official channel. The details listed above come from what is visible in the event menus and previous similar events. Treat any datamined numbers or leaked specifics as unconfirmed until HoYoverse makes an official announcement. The safest source for deadlines is the in-game event page itself.

Both events are still running. Log in, knock out the objectives, and grab those Primogems before the next patch arrives.
