Here are the Astrite rewards for each Union Level milestone:

  • Level 5 - 200 Astrites
  • Level 10 - 400 Astrites

3. Explore the map!

The open-world of Wuthering Waves is massive but with every step you take, you can earn Exploration Progress. To check your Exploration Progress and claim rewards, interact with Maqi at the Pioneer Association in the center of Jinzhou. Click "About my Exploration Progress."

You'll see the percentages of your progress for every part of Huanglong - the main map of the world. More exploration means more EXP for your Pioneer Level. With every Pioneer Level increased, you will get 50 Astrites on top of other rewards! If you complete the map exploration, you can get 5,000 total Astrites!

While exploring the map, you'll also encounter tons of valuable materials and items such as Supply Chests and Sonance Caskets. These items can earn you a ton of extra Astrites! So make sure to continuously interact with everything on the map.

Doing a ton of explorations will ALSO unlock some achievements in the Trophies tab which again, equals to more Astrites! Overall, exploring the map is the main source of farming Astrites but it is time consuming and slower than most other methods.

There are permanent and limited-time events where you can collect tons of rewards by achieving certain to-dos. For example, in the Echo Hunters event, you'll need to reach Data Bank level 10 to get 30 Astrites. Completing the Solitary Path quest which is Yinlin's Companion Story, earns you 100 Astrites. Note that even though all this current events are permanent, they give a one-time only reward.

  • Echo Hunters - 100 Astrites
  • Ascendant Aces - 20 Astrites
  • Solitary Path (Yinlin's Companion Story) - 100 Astrites
  • Awakening Journey - 1,600 Astrites

The more you complete, the more Astrites you can claim. You can get a total of 60 Astrites from Activity Points daily. But don't forget to CLAIM the rewards otherwise it'll be swept away after the daily reset.

These will give you a humble amount of Astrites but require very simple tasks! For every Resonator's tutorial complete, you'll earn 10 Astrites.

8. Collect more Echoes - Data Bank

The Data Bank is a progress tab specifically for collecting Echoes. The more types of Echoes you unlock, the more Data Bank EXP and level you can get. So go out there and hunt some Tacet Discords to gain Echo drops. If you unlock up until level 20 in the Data Bank you can earn a total of 960 Astrites!

9. Unlock achievements - Trophies

In the Terminal > Trophies tab, you can find a bunch of challenges to achieve. These are categorized into the Exploration, Journey, Battles, and Voices trophies. There are a variety of simple and more advanced challenges. Simple ones include using all 10 markers on the map and inspecting a peach tree in Qishi Villange. The tougher ones usually calls for completing quests and solving puzzles.

10. Mail

Don't overlook the perks of your Mail! It often contains gifts, rewards, and compensations from developers including a ton of Astrites. You have to claim these from the Mail, otherwise it can disappear once the mails expire.

An example above shows a mail from the Wuthering Waves devs to show their gratitude after the game reached a pre-registration and social media follower milestone. This grants you a whopping 200 Astrites!
