What is Paimon’s Shop in Genshin Impact

Paimon can be an annoying companion, but there is no arguing that her shop is very useful. Prayers bought there with the last “cashback” sometimes play a decisive role in getting a five-star character. On the other hand, here you can find resources that are too lazy to mine or buy consts for purple heroes. Any way you look at it, it’s a great place!

What is Paimon store

This is an in-game store divided into three categories where you can exchange wandering stardust and starglitter for various items or resources. Some of the items remain the same, such as leveling resources, while others change every month. You can access the store from the pause menu or from the banner screen.

The third section sells goods for primogems. But there are only two of them:

As a rule, there is no point in going into this section, since you can purchase prayers for source stones right under the banner. On the other hand, the categories of items bought for glitter and dust have their own characteristics. We will talk about them later, but first about the currency used in this shop.

How to get currency for Paimon shop

You can only get it in banners or for a donation. 15 units of stardust are given for each dropped three-star equipment, and from 2 to 10 shine for four-star duplicates of weapons or characters. Maybe 25, but for this a copy of the legendary hero with a full constellation must drop. What can we say about the chances of such an event!

Creation crystals can only be obtained by donating money into the game. You can use them to buy character skins or resource packs. Or, as most users do, exchange them directly for primogems.

Stardust

These are mainly resources for leveling up, which can be bought starting from the tenth level of adventures. For example, “Broken Mask”, which is used to level up Xing Qiu’s talents. Their main feature is that the number of goods sold is limited. The same masks can only be bought in 30 pieces, but they only cost 5 star dust due to their low rarity. 

Most of the items here are not very expensive and can be obtained in the open world. However, when one Ghost Shell is missing, this shop allows you to breathe easy and not run to Inazuma.

The main interest here is, of course, the prayers. Both cost 75 dust and only 5 are sold per month. It is recommended to buy them immediately after the store’s assortment is updated – on the 1st of each month.

Also valuable is Nitrogen Dust, which allows you to recraft one type of Exaltation Stone into another. For example, excess Agnidus Agate Fragments into Vajrada Amethyst Fragment. This allows you to save resin and not farm bosses.

Star Shine

It is spent on four-star weapons, characters and rarer resources. However, the most important thing in this section is prayers, especially event ones. They are endless and along with purple characters are the most valuable commodity here. In some months, there is even a moral dilemma: spins or cons for Xing Qiu?

Heroes and weapons are updated once a month, and the community has had a schedule for this section for several years now. You can check it out below:

  • January . Fischl and Xiang Lin. Montenegrin;
  • February . Bei Doe and Noelle. Royal;
  • March . Ning Guang and Xing Qiu. Montenegro;
  • April . Razor and Amber. Royal;
  • May . Bennett and Lisa. Montenegrin;
  • June . Kaeya and Barbara. Royal;
  • July . Fischl and Xiang Lin. Montenegrin;
  • August . Bei Doe and Noelle. Royal;
  • September . Ning Guang and Xing Qiu. Montenegrin;
  • October . Razor and Amber. Royal;
  • November . Bennett and Lisa. Montenegro;
  • December . Kaeya and Barbara. Royal.

In many ways, it makes no sense to spend precious glitter on weapons, but it is better to create a gun yourself or get it from the battle pass, since these analogues are more effective and have more pleasant passive effects. It is also not recommended to buy resources, since they can be obtained in the open world.
