TranscriptIn the immersive world of Wuthering Waves, main quests not only serve as a conduit for rewards but also play a crucial role in the early gameplay, introducing players to the mechanics of the game, such as utility skills. These quests, while akin in rewards to companion story quests, hold a significance that surpasses exploration or side quests due to their comprehensive introduction to the game's mechanics and narrative.
A distinctive feature of Wuthering Waves is the Union Level requirement attached to certain main quests. This mechanic necessitates players to attain a specified Union Level—essentially the account's overarching experience level—before they can embark on these quests. For instance, to undertake the quest titled "Clashing Blades" in Chapter One, Act Four, players must have reached at least a Union Level of fourteen. Similarly, "Rewinding Raindrops," which is the subsequent quest in Chapter One, Act Five, requires a Union Level of at least twenty-one. This requirement underscores the importance of engaging with the game world, including exploring, defeating bosses, and completing other quests such as companion stories or side quests, to progress through the main narrative.
At the launch of Wuthering Waves, players are presented with a total of eight main quests spanning a 'Prologue' and 'Chapter One'. The initial two quests, constituting the prologue, offer players an introduction to the world of Wuthering Waves and basic game mechanics, serving as a brief yet significant precursor to the more complex narrative and gameplay elements that follow. The main quests in Chapter One delve deep into the lore of Wuthering Waves, featuring extensive cutscenes, intricate puzzles, and challenging combat situations that require both strategy and skill. Through these quests, the game unfolds its rich narrative tapestry, inviting players into a meticulously crafted world where every action contributes to the larger story being told.
