The short answer is no, you cannot directly view your full pity history after 6 months in Genshin Impact. While the game meticulously tracks your wish history and associated pity counters, this data is only accessible for the most recent six-month period. After this time, older data is purged, making it impossible to visually confirm your exact pity count from wish pulls beyond that timeframe within the game itself. This article will delve deeper into how Genshin Impact’s pity system works, what you can still track, and answer a host of related questions to keep you fully informed.
Understanding Genshin Impact’s Pity System
Before we tackle the specifics of data retention, let’s quickly recap the core mechanics of the pity system in Genshin Impact. It’s crucial to grasp this to understand why the six-month cutoff exists.
- Pity: The pity system is designed to guarantee you receive a high-rarity item (a 5-star character or weapon) after a certain number of wishes, even if your luck is poor.
- Hard Pity: This is the maximum number of wishes you can make without receiving a 5-star. For Character and Standard Banners, hard pity is 90 wishes. For the Weapon Banner, it’s 80 wishes. Once you reach the hard pity, you are guaranteed a 5-star item.
- Soft Pity: Before hitting hard pity, your chances of pulling a 5-star item increase significantly. This is referred to as soft pity, which typically begins around the 70th-75th pull for Character and Standard Banners, and a little before the 70th pull on the Weapon Banner.
- 50/50 System: On limited-time character banners, you have a 50% chance to get the featured character when you pull a 5-star. If you don’t get the featured character on your first 5-star pull, your next 5-star is guaranteed to be the promotional character – this is known as a guaranteed 5-star.
- Banner-Specific Pity: Each banner – Character Event, Weapon Event, and Standard Banner – has its own independent pity counter. This means your progress on one banner does not affect the others.
- Pity Carryover: Importantly, pity carries over from banner to banner of the same type. So, if you pull 75 times on a character banner and a new character banner comes out, your pity is still at 75 for that new character banner.
Why Can’t I See My Pity Beyond Six Months?
While the system tracks every single wish you make, Hoyoverse only displays wish history for the past 6 months. This is likely due to storage limitations and the sheer volume of data generated by millions of players worldwide. While frustrating for players wanting long-term tracking, the policy maintains the game’s performance and manageability.
It means if you stopped playing for more than six months, your past wish history before that break will not be available on the game’s user interface, even if your pity count was carried over into the current banners. You will still have the same carry over pity but won’t see what number it is before getting your next 5-star.
What You Can Still See
Even though you can’t see your full pity history, you can still:
- Track Current Pity: By going to the Wish page and clicking “History,” you can see all your wishes for the last 6 months, and count the pulls since your last 5-star on that specific banner to determine your current pity.
- Benefit From Carryover: Pity does not reset because you haven’t logged in for a long period. It carries over across banners of the same type, so even if you haven’t played for over six months, whatever pity you had the last time you played will still be there.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are 15 FAQs to further clarify the intricacies of Genshin Impact’s pity system and its data retention:
How often does the pity reset?
Pity resets every time you successfully pull a 5-star character or weapon. Whether that pull is on your first wish or on your 90th, the pity counter returns to zero after you get a 5-star.
Does pity carry over between banners?
Yes, pity carries over between banners of the same type. For example, pulls on one character banner will carry over to the next character banner. However, it does not carry over between different types of banners (Character, Weapon, and Standard).
Does pity reset after losing the 50/50?
No. Your pity does not reset when you lose the 50/50. Losing the 50/50 means that you did not get the featured character. Your pity is only reset once you receive a 5-star character.
How do I check my pity progress in Genshin?
You can check your pity by navigating to the Wish page and clicking the History button. There, you can count the number of pulls since your last 5-star pull on each banner to determine how close you are to hitting pity.
Is there a hard limit to how far I can be from pity?
Yes, the hard limit for the Character and Standard Banners is 90 wishes and for the Weapon Banner, it is 80 wishes. If you reach this number without getting a 5-star, your next wish is guaranteed to be a 5-star item.
What is the highest pity you can get in Genshin Impact?
The highest you can count your pity is 89 for Character and Standard Banners, and 79 for the Weapon Banner. The 90th and 80th pull, respectively, is the hard pity, guaranteeing a 5-star.
What is soft pity, and is it real?
Yes, soft pity is real. It refers to the point where your chances of pulling a 5-star item increase significantly before you hit hard pity. Soft pity usually begins around the 70-75th wish mark on the character banners.
How many wishes do I need for a guaranteed 5-star character?
You need a maximum of 180 wishes if you lose the 50/50 on your first 5-star pull, and you reach hard pity twice in a row. Otherwise, you only need 90 if you win the 50/50.
Does spending Primogems affect my pity?
Spending Primogems directly influences your pity progress, since every wish you do requires Primogems. Each wish contributes to the pity counter.
How does the 50/50 system affect my pity?
The 50/50 system does not directly affect your pity count. Pity refers to how many wishes you have made before receiving a 5-star character. The 50/50 is about whether or not your 5-star is the featured character. If you lose the 50/50, you are guaranteed the featured character on your next 5-star pull.
Can I see my wish history from when I first started the game?
No. The wish history only keeps a record of your pulls for the last 6 months.
Does pity reset with each new banner in Genshin Impact?
No. Pity will not reset when a new banner appears as long as it is the same banner type. Your pity carries over from one banner of the same type to the next.
What happens if I get a 5-star before reaching hard pity?
If you pull a 5-star before reaching hard pity, the pity counter resets to zero. This can happen at any point after the 1st pull.
How does the weapon banner pity work?
The weapon banner’s pity works similarly to character banners but with a hard pity of 80 wishes. It also has an “Epitomized Path” system that guarantees your selected weapon after two 5-star failures.
Does my pity reset after 3 months or some other time limit?
No, pity does not reset due to the passage of time. It only resets when you pull a 5-star. Your pity will still be there if you take a long break from the game, as long as it is within the same banner types, and that the game’s server has not been down for six months.
Conclusion
While it can be frustrating that your wish history is limited to six months in Genshin Impact, it is a necessary measure for game management. Although you can’t view pity data from beyond 6 months, the core principle that your pity carries over across banners ensures you’re never truly starting from scratch. Make use of the in-game “History” function, and you’ll be able to effectively plan your wishes and strive for those coveted 5-star characters and weapons within the current banner cycles. Keep an eye on your pull history, and best of luck on your future wishing endeavors!
