Genshin Impact’s Masterless Starglitter should not be spent on extra Intertwined Fates for wishes. Despite the fact that players can use the special in-game currency for that purpose, they should reserve it for other reasons. Masterless Starglitter can be obtained with every 4-star and 5-star weapon or repeated character players pull in the banner system, both the limited-time ones and the standard one.

Masterless Starglitter in Genshin Impact can be exchanged at the Paimon's Bargains in-game shop. Besides the permanent items, such as the Fates and Ascension Materials, the Characters and Weapons change monthly, offering players a chance to max out a few Genshin Impact character Constellations and obtain weapons that they can use. The catalog refreshes at the start of every new month, so anything that has a purchase limit is reset.

Getting More Wishes With Starglitter Seems Enticing In Genshin Impact

When an enticing 5-star character arrives in the limited-time banners, it may seem like a good idea to use Masterless Starglitter in Genshin Impact to acquire more Intertwined Fates. Nonetheless, it is not. Obtaining Primogems is the main way players should use to acquire Fates. Considering how often and how many Primogems can be obtained through events, quests, and web events, this should be the primary resource used for wishing in Genshin Impact’s limited-time banners. Of course, if players are in their pity and need an extra wish, there is no harm in using Starglitter, but this should not be the primary source of Fates.

Genshin Impact’s Starglitter Should Be Spent On Ascension Materials & Characters

The Masterless Starglitter players obtain in Genshin Impact should be saved and used on the other offerings in Paimon’s Bargains. If players are looking for a good weapon, they can get one through the shop. In fact, they can acquire multiple copies to ensure the weapon’s Refinement Level goes up. The same can be said for characters. With Starglitter, they can obtain a 4-star character they possibly do not yet have or increase their Constellation level if they already do.

Too often players get stuck with a character’s leveling due to the lack of Ascension Materials in Genshin Impact. If they do not have the patience to follow farming routes every day, using Masterless Starglitter to buy such materials is a life-saver. Some items are particularly harder to farm than others because their drop is simply not guaranteed. Players can defeat a whole group of Nobushi, for instance, and drop only a few Handguards, which can be rather frustrating and time-consuming. Players should ensure they have the option to use Genshin Impact’s Masterless Starglitter to obtain these items, especially the higher-tier ones.

Masterless Starglitter is harder to obtain in Genshin Impact than Stardust, and its status should be treated as much. Fates are easily acquirable with Primogems and, in moments of desperation, up to five can be bought with Stardust. Nonetheless, players should keep their Starglitter preserved to eventually buy materials they do not have and Ascend any 5-star Genshin Impact character whose progression they got stuck on.
