Is Gnostic Chorus Worth It in Malaysia? Genshin 7.1 Verdict
Published: 2026-09-29
The verdict first, for anyone deciding at 2am: if you were already buying Gnostic Hymn this Moontrace patch, upgrading to Gnostic Chorus for roughly RM 45 more is a decent deal — you skip 10 pass levels and get 5 extra Fragile Resin. If you were NOT going to buy the pass at all, Chorus at ~RM 90 is not the pack to start with. Version 7.1 Moontrace runs 23 September to 3 November 2026, so you have about six weeks to decide.
The Genesis Crystal ladder at REDX Game's Genshin Impact page currently opens at RM 3.60 for the starter pack. That figure sets the baseline for every value comparison below.
Genshin 7.1 Moontrace: the pass window that matters
Version 7.1 dropped on 23 September 2026 alongside HoYoverse's sixth-anniversary rewards, and the Moontrace Battle Pass sits inside that same patch cycle so its clock started on release day. Phase 1 features Vesna, the new Anemo Stellar-Swirl sword DPS, and Vodyanitsa on Hydro support, and Phase 2 brings back Skirk and Escoffier from 13 October, so daily players get twin rerun windows plus the anniversary Primogem shower that landed on 28 September for the sixth-year mark.
Every pass season locks to its patch, so if you miss the 3 November cut-off, Chorus disappears until 7.2 rolls in with a fresh Battle Pass reward track and a new BP-exclusive weapon selection. Buy on day one and you get the full ~42 days to grind pass points; buy on the last weekend and even the 10-level skip may not save you.
The pass has three tiers and the naming trips new players. Free = Sojourner's Battle Pass. Paid base = Gnostic Hymn, roughly USD 9.99 in the shop. Paid upgrade = Gnostic Chorus, roughly USD 19.99. Chorus contains every Hymn reward plus the 10-level skip and a small extras bundle.

The RM per primogem math, with numbers
Gnostic Hymn adds 680 Primogems, 4 Intertwined Fates, a level-30 4-star weapon selector, roughly 126 Hero's Wit, over 2 million Mora and 5 Fragile Resin on top of the free track. A full reward breakdown per patch lives at the Genshin Impact Fandom wiki.
Chorus stacks the same Hymn rewards plus an instant 10-level jump on the pass, a Namecard, a Furnishing Blueprint, Dust of Enlightenment ×1 and Fragile Resin ×5, and nothing else in the reward table changes between the two paid tiers.
Convert the 4 Intertwined Fates to primogem-equivalent (160 gems each = 640) and Hymn hands you a raw 1,320 primogems in wish currency. At USD 9.99 ≈ RM 45 on Play Store, that is about 29 primogems per ringgit before you count the weapon or the resin. Chorus at USD 19.99 works out to roughly RM 91 in the same shop; per-ringgit it drops to about 14.5 primogems per ringgit, because the extras are the point, not more gems.
The upgrade differential from Hymn to Chorus is the interesting number. Purely for the 10 pass levels, you're paying about RM 45 for what typically costs 10-14 days of daily commissions. Selangor Red Giants roster players will recognise the trade: pay for the ceiling raise, keep the floor.
Cost math: which cash bundle beats it
Set Chorus against a straight Genesis Crystal purchase. The 980-crystal Play Store pack costs USD 14.99 (about RM 68), delivers 1,960 primogem-equivalent at first-purchase, and includes no weapon selector, no resin refills, no Hero's Wit. Even at that first-buy rate, per-ringgit it is 28.8 primogems compared to Chorus's roughly 14.5 — but Chorus wins on materials, and materials are what actually raise a five-star ceiling in Fontaine content.
Now the local honesty test. REDX Game's ladder tops at RM 354.80 for 6,480 Genesis Crystals. App Store Malaysia's same-pack retail sits comfortably above RM 430 — a gap north of RM 75 you keep at checkout, and enough to fund one Chorus purchase outright. Buy Chorus once and Welkin twice this patch through REDX Game and you are already ahead of a pure crystal-only strategy for Moontrace.
Where the maths turns against Chorus
Casual account without daily commissions? The 10-level skip stops mattering. If you can only grind pass points twice a week, Hymn plus Welkin (~USD 4.99) beats Chorus flat. Senang gila to test: check your current pass level on day 14, halve it, project to day 42. If projection sits above pass level 40, skip Chorus.
FAQ
Adakah Gnostic Chorus perlu dibeli awal patch?
Ya, jika anda main harian. Beli hari pertama patch (23 September) memberi anda 42 hari penuh untuk kumpul mata pass. Kalau tunggu minggu terakhir, 10-level skip Chorus mungkin tidak cukup untuk selesai pass.
Berapa harga Gnostic Chorus dalam ringgit Malaysia?
Google Play Malaysia biasanya menunjukkan sekitar RM 90 untuk Chorus dan RM 45 untuk Hymn, tetapi harga tepat berubah dengan kadar tukaran USD-MYR. Semak dalam kedai Play Store atau App Store sebelum bayar.
Boleh naik taraf dari Hymn ke Chorus di tengah patch?
Ya, boleh. Upgrade differential adalah sekitar USD 11.99 (kira-kira RM 54), dan 10-level skip masuk sebaik anda bayar. Anda tidak rugi apa-apa kalau mula dengan Hymn dulu.
Apa yang tiada dalam Chorus berbanding Welkin Moon?
Chorus tidak beri Genesis Crystals harian. Blessing of the Welkin Moon (biasanya RM 22 di ladder REDX Game) beri 90 Genesis Crystals setiap hari untuk 30 hari plus 300 Crystal hari pertama. Untuk pull banyak, gabungkan Welkin + Hymn lebih murah per-primogem berbanding Chorus sahaja.
Berapa jumlah Primogem yang datang dari Chorus?
Chorus tidak tambah primogem terus di atas Hymn. Anda dapat 680 primogem plus 4 Intertwined Fates (nilai wish 640 primogem) yang sama seperti Hymn. Extras Chorus adalah 10-level skip, Namecard, Blueprint, Dust of Enlightenment dan 5 Fragile Resin tambahan.
Beginner tips for your first Battle Pass
Chorus is Hymn plus extras, so you can either buy Chorus directly on Day 1 or start with Hymn and upgrade later, because both routes cost the same total when the differential is added on. The Day 1 skip is worth more if you have a low starting pass level from missed dailies in the 7.0-to-7.1 gap week.
Pick your 4-star weapon selector carefully, because you only pick once per pass season. R5 The Catch remains the go-to polearm for Xiangling hyperbloom teams in Petaling Jaya server queues, while The Widsith stays a strong universal buff catalyst for Vodyanitsa support runs coming out of Ipoh guild discords.
Cash out Fragile Resin only on ascension days when your character-of-the-week needs the boss drop, because random resin dumps quietly waste the pass math over the six-week window. Save your order confirmation email too, since it doubles as a top-up receipt if the crystals stall on delivery and support has to trace the SKU manually.
Local buying tips: DuitNow, TNG, Boost paths
HoYoverse's own shop does not accept Malaysian e-wallets directly, so Shah Alam, Johor Bahru and Kuching players top up Genesis Crystals through REDX Game's Genshin ladder, then use the crystals to buy Hymn or Chorus inside the game shop. That MYR ladder runs RM 3.60 to RM 354.80 across six tiers, and delivery hits your account in 1-3 minutes on DuitNow QR after payment clears.
Payment methods on the checkout include DuitNow QR, TNG eWallet, Boost, ShopeePay, GrabPay and standard FPX bank transfer, which covers roughly 95% of active Malaysian banking rails at once. DuitNow QR clears fastest at about 15 seconds if your bank app is already open, whereas TNG eWallet carries no top-up fee for orders under RM 500 but does add a short handshake step.
For Kota Kinabalu players seeing latency during Fontaine world-boss fights, top up during off-peak windows (before 6pm MYT) to avoid CIMB Clicks slowdowns that hit peak-hour DuitNow.
Boleh tahan simple: check REDX Game's Genshin page, pick the crystal pack that covers your Chorus target (usually 980 + one Welkin refill), pay with DuitNow QR, wait 90 seconds, then buy Chorus inside the in-game shop. The Genshin Impact Fandom entry on the pass season notes it plainly: "Battle Pass is available for purchase during the active version and cannot be bought after the season ends". Set a phone alert for 2 November if you are still deciding.
