Wuthering Waves Version 1.1 system updates

Wuthering Waves Version 1.1 will introduce several system changes to make the game experience a lot better for players. Here are all the system changes being made:

Echo System

Players have complained that low-grade Tuners are piling up their backpacks even when they are in the end-game. As such, a brand new Echo Tuner system is being introduced where Medium and Advanced Tuners can be upgraded to higher grades.

Increased Union EXP for Echo Entries

In Version 1.1, you will receive Union EXP for adding new Echo entries to your Data Bank. Additionally, all the Echoes you have collected until now will get retrospectively rewarded with Union EXP in the in-game email in Version 1.1.

Higher Cost Range for Echoes Rewarded for Activity Points

The developers are removing Cost 1 Echoes from Activity Points and players will receive only Cost 3 and Cost 4 Echoes. Additionally, after finishing 100 Activity Points, a random Cost 3 or Cost 4 Echo will be rewarded.

Data Bank Level-Cap

In Version 1.1, the Data Bank level cap has been increased to 21 which will guarantee 5-star Echo drops.

Increased Convene Item Version Exchange Limit in the Oscillated Coral Store

In Version 1.1 and beyond, the number of Radiant Tides, Lustrous Tides, and Forging Tides will be increased to 7 instead of 5.
