The Genshin Impact 7.1 banners and events share a single ten-day window. Version 7.1 "Requiem for the Underworld" launched on September 23, 2026 . Late October holds three events and two character banners: Carefree Snowball Fight from 10:00 on October 21 to 03:59 on November 2, Starstruck Stroll from 10:00 on October 19 to 03:59 on November 2 with a mission window ending 04:00 on October 29, the Starry Gathering web event from 08:00 on October 22 to 04:00 on November 3, and the Skirk and Escoffier banners closing at 14:59 on November 3.
Applicable version: 7.1 "Requiem for the Underworld" (live since 2026-09-23)
Genshin Impact 7.1 overview: three deadlines side by side
Separate the three by type. Predictor's Wager is already in its results window and ends at 09:59 on October 23 . Starstruck Stroll has two different cutoffs: the event runs to 03:59 on November 2 but missions stop at 04:00 on October 29 . Frostball runs October 21 to November 2 with a phased score cap .
Which to do first
Shortest window first. Predictor's Wager ends today, Starstruck Stroll missions end October 29, and Frostball can wait until the final week. Frostball's score cap opens in stages, so grinding early does not get you ahead.
Why the web event sits outside the three
Starry Gathering runs from 08:00 on October 22 to 04:00 on November 3 and pays rewards by in-game mail valid for 30 days . It does not consume resin or in-game progress, so schedule it separately.
Genshin Impact Starstruck Stroll: encounter caps and mission window
Starstruck Stroll pays "Sightseeing Notes" on a phased cap: 800 on day one, plus 400 every two days, capped at 1,600 . The design means day one and two cannot exceed 800 no matter how long you play, so the right move is daily progress, not a weekend grind.
Missions and notes are two tracks
Missions stop at 04:00 on October 29 while notes accumulate until 03:59 on November 2 . So finish all missions first, then spend remaining time on notes. Doing it the other way round means a final day with unfinished missions and notes that cannot convert.
Event tokens expire
The event's "Vivid Crystal" tokens have an expiry . Check the event shop as soon as you get them.
Genshin Impact Frostball: the score cap rises from day three
Frostball's cap opens in stages: 2,000 on day one, raised on day three and day five, with a final cap of 6,000 . Today is day three, so the cap has entered its raised phase; the official notice does not state the intermediate values, so check the in-game UI.
How scoring works
Matches use the co-op matching mode. Throw snowballs at the Owl-Bots inside the time limit, and stand next to the "Genius Beet" to cheer, which grants an extra boon . Cheering is not optional; it is the source of the extra buff.
Entry requirements
Adventure Rank 20 or above, plus the Archon Quest Prologue Act 3 "Song of the Dragon and Freedom" and "The Shot in the Silent Land" from Chapter 7 Act 1 . Accounts that have not pushed Chapter 7 cannot even open the event.
Genshin Impact 7.1 double Cryo banners: timing and pity
Both banners run from 18:00 on October 13 to 14:59 on November 3. The limited five-star Skirk (Cryo) runs on "Froststar Crossing" and the limited five-star Escoffier (Cryo) runs on "Berry Aria", with four-stars Talia (Hydro), Candace (Hydro) and Mika (Cryo) on both .
The two banners share pity
Character Event Wish and Character Event Wish-2 share the same pity counter, which accumulates across both and stays independent of other wish types . So switching between the two banners never wastes pity: pull for the one you want first, and if you lose the 50/50, move to the other.
Set your Epitomized Path
The concurrent weapon banner features the one-handed sword Azure Glory and the polearm Fragrant Minstrel, and Epitomized Path lets you lock one of them . Weapon banners carry more risk than character banners, and Epitomized Path is the only lever that reduces it.
Genshin Impact 7.1 Primogem math for late October
Late October Primogems come from three places: Frostball score rewards, Starstruck Stroll note rewards, and the Starry Gathering web event. The first two are fixed by stage, while the third pays 100 Rebirth Crystal Clusters, the "Heart of Luminance" makeup and 20,000 Mora .
The web event does not pay Primogems
Starry Gathering pays crystal clusters, makeup and Mora, not Primogems . That is easy to misread: a web event sounds like Primogems, but this one is cosmetics and materials. Exclude it from pull budgeting.
Leave margin for the early-November gap
7.1 ends in early November and the Cryo banners close at 14:59 on November 3 . Primogem income drops between patches, so if you plan to pull next version, do not spend everything here.
