Side quests in Wuthering Waves are usually marked with a light blue marker on the map. They’re highlighted in the same color in your quest log. Though some side quests appear over time automatically, you won’t run into most side quests unless you’re diligent enough to walk near the quest marker and open the map. If you’re trying to level up your Resonator or get extra rewards from the Pioneer Podcast battle pass, here’s every side quest you can complete in Wuthering Waves.
Every side quest in Wuthering Waves 1.0
Below is a table with every side quest you can complete in the current version of Wuthering Waves. None of them are mandatory, meaning you won’t miss any relevant story sections from the main plot by ignoring them. That said, they reward Union EXP, which is a must to unlock other main quests from the game.
