Leaks reveal the full list of Qiuyuan materials required for ascension and skill upgrades, helping fans pre-farm for the upcoming 5-star Aero sword user.
The highly anticipated Qiuyuan is set to debut as a 5-star Aero Resonator in Wuthering Waves, representing the Huanglong province. Recognised as a master swordsman, he has already become one of the most anticipated releases for Version 2.7. Reliable leakers, including @Jiyan0117, have shared comprehensive details of his ascension and skill level-up materials, allowing players to start farming ahead of his banner.
Wuthering Waves Qiuyuan Ascension Materials
To fully ascend Qiuyuan to his maximum level, the following materials will be required:
- Truth in Lies ×46
- Wintry Bell ×60
- LF Whisperin Core ×4
- MF Whisperin Core ×12
- HF Whisperin Core ×12
- FF Whisperin Core ×4
- Shell Credits ×170,000
Farming Guide for Ascension Mats
- Truth in Lies: Dropped by Fenrico, a new overworld boss located in the Lumen Tower, Fabricatorum of the Deep. Players can track him under the Boss Challenge menu.
- Wintry Bell: A flower resource found in Huanglong, near the Gorges of Spirits. It grows in clusters and can be farmed by teleporting to the closest Resonance Beacon or Nexus in the area.
- Whisperin Cores (LF–FF): Dropped from overworld enemies like Clang Bang and Zig Zag, or purchased from the in-game Weapon Shop.
- Shell Credits: Can be gained through exploration, quests, and domain challenges.
WuWa Qiuyuan Skill Level-Up Materials
To maximise Qiuyuan’s Forte (Skill) trees, investing in level-up materials is essential. Here’s the leaked list:
- LF Whisperin Core ×25
- MF Whisperin Core ×28
- HF Whisperin Core ×40
- FF Whisperin Core ×57
- Inert Metallic Drip ×25
- Reactive Metallic Drip ×28
- Polarized Metallic Drip ×55
- Heterized Metallic Drip ×67
- Unknown New Boss Material ×26 (leaks suggest it will be introduced in 2.7 through a new supply pack or weekly boss)
- Shell Credits ×2,030,000
Farming Guide for Forte Mats
- Metallic Drip variants (Inert to Heterized): Obtainable from Forging Challenges such as Flaming Remnants and Garden of Salvation, or crafted into higher rarities using the Synthesizer.
- Whisperin Core variants: Same as ascension, but in higher quantities.
- New Boss Material: Expected to release with Version 2.7; details TBA, but likely linked to new bosses or domains appearing alongside Qiuyuan’s banner.

Wuthering Waves Qiuyuan Weapon Materials (Emerald Sentence)
Since Qiuyuan comes with his signature 5-star sword, Emerald Sentence, players might also want to farm the following:
- LF Howler Core ×6
- MF Howler Core ×6
- HF Howler Core ×10
- FF Howler Core ×12
- Inert Metallic Drip ×6
- Reactive Metallic Drip ×8
- Polarized Metallic Drip ×6
- Heterized Metallic Drip ×20
- Shell Credits ×330,000
These materials can be collected from Howler enemies across Jinzhou, Forging challenges, or crafted via the Synthesizer.
In summary, the leaked Qiuyuan materials highlight how farming-intensive he will be compared to earlier releases. With multiple rarities of Whisperin Cores, Metallic Drip series, and Truth in Lies as a boss drop, dedicated players should begin stockpiling now. The release of his Emerald Sentence weapon adds another farming layer for those committed to unlocking his full potential.
If these leaks hold true, Qiuyuan is shaping up not only as a powerful Aero Resonator but also as a resource-hungry one.
