Shell Credits are the universal currency in Wuthering Waves, used for all upgrades and shopping needs. While they may seem abundant initially, players soon realize that each upgrade, level-up, and ascension demands substantial sums of money. As a result, players often feel the need to start farming Shell Credits. To assist with this, the following guide lists multiple money-farming methods and teaches players how to exchange their unwanted resources for Shell Credits.

As a Gacha game , Wuthering Waves isn't generous with resource distribution, making it challenging to farm specific items like Shell Credits with exploits. Therefore, it's essential to understand that the methods introduced in this guide are simply best practices for maximizing the player’s passive and active earnings.

Navigate to the Guidebook and search for green-colored missions labeled "Exploration Quests." These adventure-oriented objectives assist players in exploring the overworld, unlocking new locations, and accessing previously unreachable areas. The best part is that all Exploration Quests come with substantial money prizes ranging from 12,000 to 60,000 or even more.

Tackling Forgery Challenges

Forgery Challenges are time-restricted battles with Echoes that reward participants with Shell Credits. Although repeating these objectives is unprofitable as the money prize is exclusive to the first clearance, Forgery Challenges remain a quick way of collecting hundreds of thousands of Shell Credits in a few minutes, especially if the player has already assembled a META team.

Doing Side Quests
