Wuthering Waves incorporates a variety of gameplay into its exploration quests. Players not only have the chance to try out various gameplay mechanics, but they can also learn more about the lore that Wuthering Waves is built upon. Usually, the main exploration quests unlock certain areas on the map for players, but there are side quests that dabble in the exploration mechanic as well.

When The Moonlight Shines In The Forest is one of these side quests. It takes Rovers on a mission to find artificial moons scattered around the region. The side quest is only available after completing the main exploration quest: When The Forest Is No Longer Dim. It is only after completing it will the side quest pop up on the map near Violet Banyan.
