All relevant information is stuck behind the "History" and "Details" buttons on the Event Wishes page in Genshin Impact. The details of the mechanic are presented in the form of a wall of text that some gamers might have missed, especially since they need to click through several tabs to understand it all. This article will first discuss how to count Pity before getting into aspects.

An example of a Traveler's Wish history (Image via HoYoverse) Once you've clicked on "History," you'll be greeted with a screen similar to the one shown in the image above. Counting Pity is actually very simple. Do you see how everything is arranged in several rows? In the image above, you can see five items. None of those are five-star items, so that counts as adding five to your current Pity counter. Obviously, there are more Wishes than just the ones shown above. At the bottom of this page is an arrow that points to the right. Click on it to see more windows. Keep counting until you see a 5-star character or weapon. Don't forget to make a note of the 5-star here (Image via HoYoverse) Look for your last orange item and the number at the bottom of the window. Using the above image as an example, it's Keqing who is in the seventh window. In this case, that means the current Pity would be 31. Here is an explanation regarding how this number was obtained. Six windows of five items equal 30, and the Raven Bow in the seventh window is an extra item to add to 30. Note: You count from top-to-bottom in when it comes to calculating Pity. You can also click on the Wish Type drop-down menu to see other banner types, all of which have different Pities. It is worth mentioning here that it takes an hour for the history page to update after any new Wish you use. If you're continually pulling on a banner, you will have to make a mental note of your current Pity.
