All Daily Quests and How to Unlock

Complete In-Game Quests

Wuthering Waves - Quest Menu

Quest Type EXP Gain
Main Quest 200~2000 EXP per quest
Companion Quest 2000 EXP per quest
Exploration Quest 200~1000 EXP per quest
Side Quest 20~500 EXP per quest

We recommend prioritizing Main Quests first, as they offer the highest Union EXP rewards. Next, complete any available Companion Quests for their generous EXP gains.

After that, tackle Exploration Quests, which not only grant solid EXP but also make meaningful changes to the map. Lastly, take on Side Quests when you have spare time. They’re plentiful but offer only modest EXP, making them ideal for filler progression.

List of Quests

SOL3 Ascension Phase Quests

Overworld Enemy Difficulty Rises

Wuthering Waves - SOL3 Phase and Union Level

The higher your Union Level is, so does the SOL3 level, causing all the monsters in the overworld to also increase in average level.

It should match around your current level that fits the current Union Level, and the Union Level will not have its level cap increased until the SOL3 level matches that of your Union Level.

How to Raise Your SOL3 Phase Level

Harder Tacet Fields for Rarer Materials

More difficult versions of Tacet Fields will become available for the player to farm with, as long as they meet the Union Level prerequisite.

Changes includes higher overall damage, more HP and more moves added to its attack patterns, so be fully prepared when going up against stronger bosses.

Earn Rewards from Awakening Journey Event

You can get the rewards from the Awakening Journey event for increasing your Union Level. You will get Astrite, Lustrous Tide, Crystal Solvent, and even Rank 5 Weapon Supply Chest from this event!

pretty sure Guidebook Daily is 2,000 exp now, not sure if it used to be 1,500 but it's definitely gone up to 300/300/400/400/600 (2,000 total)

while companion quests give 2k xp, they also take quite a while to complete... shouldn't there be a comparison for xp per 15mins gameplay? maybe even comparing a full run (no skips) vs speedrun (skip everything skippable)... no need to redo the quests yourselves, i believe you can find most of them on youtube/twitch vods; but it will still take some effort to go thru a few examples and get some numbers to establish baselines/averages
