Wuthering Waves recently released for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Mobile, PC, and Mac and features a similar gacha mechanic to HoYoverse's highly popular game, Genshin Impact.
The gacha system in the new game works by using Tides to draw on Convene Banners where new Resonators and weapons can be acquired. However, in order to get Tides, you need the special currency Astrite, which is somewhat difficult to get if you don't know what you're doing.

Fortunately, this simple guide can help you learn about where to get Astrite and how to farm it for more chances of getting new characters and powerful weapons. This process is especially difficult for players who have not purchased the Lunite Subscription or Lunite.
The first thing you need to know is that you need 160 Astrites to buy a single Radiant Tide, Forging Tide, or Lustrous Tide.
Wuthering Waves has a pity system as well that is set to 80 on all Convene banners. This means that you would need 12,800 Astrites to get a guaranteed Five-Star Resonator or weapon, according to OneEsports.
As a free-to-player, there are a few options that you can do to farm Astrite and while they may take some time, they are achievable through several methods. The first way is through Daily Quests and completing all of them will net you 60 Astrites every day. This is the simplest way of farming Astrite.
The next method is by exploring Wuthering Waves' expansive world as Astrite can be found by opening chests and finding Tidal Heritages that can contain up to 10 to 20 Astrites each. When you activate Resonance Nexus and Beacons, you will get 30 and 5 Astrites each, respectively.

Another way is by clearing the Data Bank because whenever you level it up, which is done by absorbing echoes from defeated monsters, it will reward you with more than 30 Astrites per level.
On top of these, you can also finish daily, weekly, or monthly Guidebook missions to get more Astrites whenever they reset. They also provide you with 2,000 Union EXP, which lets you gain Union Level quicker, said Rock Paper Shotgun.
How To Get More
While exploring can reward you with Astrite through chests and Tidal Heritages, there is also a Pioneer Associated in Jinzhou that rewards you for exploring different regions of the map. The bigger area that you travel through, the more Astrite you can get, with level 10 alone paying out 500 Astrite.
Other, non-repeatable ways to get Astrite include codes that can be redeemed, in-game mail, defeating bosses for the first time, completing tutorials, completing main and side quests, and unlocking and collecting trophies.
The Tacet Field or Tactical Hologram can be unlocked as you progress through the story in Wuthering Waves which can also reward you with Astrite. When you first clear these areas, they will provide some rewarding resources.
Tacet Fields are generally used to farm echoes using players' waveplate and you need to keep yourself from spending any of what you have to get the Astrite reward. The Tactical Hologram also asks you to fight various difficult bosses that give out rewards, according to TheGamer.
