Genshin Ascension Gem Calculator

Enough gems for level 90? Tier-aware planning with Dust of Azoth conversion costs — and which elements are safe to convert away.

A free Genshin Impact ascension gem calculator. Load your GOOD export and see whether your Slivers, Fragments, Chunks and Gemstones are enough to take every character you care about to level 90 — counted per tier, because gems only craft upward — plus the Dust of Azoth cost of any cross-element conversions.

❓ How it works

How many ascension gems does a character need to reach level 90?

A full 1→90 ascension costs 1 Sliver, 9 Fragments, 9 Chunks and 6 Gemstones of the character's element — the same for 4★ and 5★ characters. Measured in Slivers that is 1 + 27 + 81 + 162 = 271. The planner only counts the ascensions a character still owes, so someone already at ascension 4 needs just the last two phases.

Can I convert ascension gems in Genshin?

Two ways, and the difference is the whole point of this tool. At the crafting bench you can combine 3 gems into 1 of the next tier up (3 Slivers → 1 Fragment, 3 Fragments → 1 Chunk, 3 Chunks → 1 Gemstone) for free — but never the other way. You can also convert a gem of one element into the same tier of another element for 1 Dust of Azoth each. There is no way to turn a Gemstone back into Chunks.

Why does it say I'm short when I seem to have enough gems in total?

Because gems only craft upward. If you own 30 Chunks but only 2 Gemstones and a character needs 6 Gemstones, the 30 Chunks can be crafted into Gemstones — but 40 Gemstones and 0 Chunks would leave you short on Chunks with no fix. Naive "total gems" calculators assume a downgrade path that does not exist. The planner resolves need tier by tier from Gemstone down, spending each tier's own stock, then cross-element conversions, and only then crafting up from below.

Which elements are safe to convert away?

The planner runs twice: once on the characters you selected (can you reach 90?) and once with a reserve of extra full ascensions per element added on top. Whatever surplus survives the second pass is labelled safe to convert, so you can feed a new character of another element without silently starving a future one. Adjust the reserve to be more or less conservative.

How much Dust of Azoth does it cost to convert ascension gems?

One Dust of Azoth per gem, at any tier — converting a Gemstone costs the same 1 Dust as converting a Sliver, which is why the planner converts at the highest tier it can and only breaks a need down to lower tiers when it must. Dust of Azoth comes from Paimon's Bargains and events. The conversion plan lists every conversion it needs and the total Dust, so it doubles as a Dust of Azoth calculator for your specific roster.

Which characters are selected by default?

Characters that still owe ascensions and rate S or higher on genshinRater's tier list. Planning gems for characters you will never build is noise, but you can widen the cutoff or tick anyone by hand. The Traveler is excluded: Brilliant Diamond sits outside the conversion economy and GOOD exports do not track it.
