Generally, it is not recommended to use Primogems for standard wishes as the pity system is separate for each banner, and the standard banner has a lower chance of getting a 5-star character. Using Primogems on the standard banner can be considered a waste, especially when there are character banners available with a higher chance of getting the desired 5-star character.
Understanding the Wishing System
The wishing system in Genshin Impact is designed to provide players with a chance to acquire 5-star characters and weapons. The standard banner has a pity system that guarantees a 4-star or 5-star item every 10 rolls, but the 5-star item can be either a character or a weapon.
