The Strings Remember Unlock Conditions
To enter the event early, raise your Union Level to 14, then follow the main quest "The Wind Before the Storm" and activate the Four Chime Shaftpost. The official recommendation is to complete the prerequisite quest "The Nethermancer’s Requiem" for a more complete story flow; if you value the narrative, it's best to finish it before starting.
If you don't see the event entrance, first check your Union Level, main quest progress, and if the Shaftpost is activated, then reopen the event page. Do not rely solely on online time zone converters to determine if it's "not yet open"; the in-game countdown is the most reliable indicator.
How to Play the 7-Day Quests?
The event has 7 quests, with one opening daily at 04:00 (server time). The story setting is that after the Xuanfang lands return to peace, the Rover visits Qingxiao's mountain abode again. Qingxiao will personally teach guqin at different locations, and players can claim corresponding rewards upon completing the melodies.
Simple Participation Checklist
- First, confirm the remaining time displayed on the event page.
- Complete the new quest for the day, noting Qingxiao's location.
- After completing the melody, immediately verify that the rewards have been claimed.
- For unreleased quests, wait until the next server time 04:00.
The official post does not state whether continuous login is mandatory, so do not assume that "missing one day means permanently missing out." The safest approach is to complete them early to avoid rushing quests close to the deadline.
What are the Officially Stated Rewards?
- Astrites ×400
- Premium Resonance Potion ×15
- Premium Sealed Tube ×10
- Premium Energy Core ×10
- Shell Credit ×280,000
The above are the total rewards listed in the official event post. The order of individual quest payouts and the reward collection screen should be based on in-game displays. Do not misinterpret the total quantities as being awarded all at once on the first day.
Where to Download Qingxiao Official Wallpaper?
On September 1, KURO GAMES released the "Break all shackles." Qingxiao digital wallpaper, available in two sizes. To avoid outdated or recompressed image versions, this article will not re-upload the wallpaper; please first verify the official Wuthering Waves X post, then proceed to the official Google Drive folder linked in the post to download.
Wuthering Waves Game Event and Wuthering Waves: Taiketsu Physical Card Game Are Not the Same Product Line
"The Strings Remember" is a 3.6 limited-time event within the Wuthering Waves video game; MOONROAD's Wuthering Waves: Taiketsu is a physical card game product, including SD01, SD02 starter decks, and BP01 booster packs. Both share the Wuthering Waves IP, but their gameplay, content, and product availability are independent.
As of the last verification, all three MOONROAD Wuthering Waves: Taiketsu products are currently out of stock/pre-orders paused. The official announcement for this event also does not confirm if Qingxiao, event melodies, or Tiankui Jiesha have been included in any physical card products, so this article will not make any related inferences.
