In the sprawling world of Wuthering Waves, a handful of wandering NPCs offer Astrite for remarkably little effort. These characters—Rong'an, Xingbai, and Cheng—reappear across Huanglong with small tasks that never feel tied to the main story. A Rover who stumbles upon one may wonder whether it is a one-off coincidence, but the truth is far more generous: each encounter grants 10 Astrite, and there are thirteen documented interactions from version 1.0 of the game. But where exactly do these familiar faces appear, and what do they ask in return? The following guide walks through every known location, describing each exchange in the order it was originally discovered.
| NPC | Location | Task | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rong'an | Southeast of Sea of Flames, near waterfall | Inspect shiny object under waterfall | 10 Astrite |
| Xingbai | Far west of Settle Range | Defeat 3 Tacet Discords | 10 Astrite |
| Xingbai | Facility west of Donglu Research Station | Defeat Tacet Discord | 10 Astrite |
| Xingbai | Southeast of Sea of Flames | Speak with him | 10 Astrite |
| Cheng | Near Lollo Warehouse, road east toward Plateau Ruins | Give any food | 10 Astrite |
| Cheng | On a broken bridge | Defeat extorting enemies | 10 Astrite |
| Xingbai | Northeast of Qichi Village | Answer questions | 10 Astrite |
| Rong'an | North of Jinzhou | Defeat TDs, give Wintry Bell | 10 Astrite |
| Cheng | South of previous Rong'an, near boulders | Recover backpack from TDs | 10 Astrite |
| Xingbai | Near Resonance Beacon in Hermit Settlement | Follow blue sensor line | 10 Astrite |
| Rong'an | North of Jinzhou city | Salvage backpack from water | 10 Astrite |
| Cheng | Later encounter (enemy rescue) | Defeat enemies | 10 Astrite |
| Rong'an | Northwest of Fallen Grave, on bridge | Speak with him | 10 Astrite |
The Rong'an Encounters
The first Rong'an stands near a waterfall southeast of the Sea of Flames. After a brief conversation, he points out something shiny hidden under the falling water. The Rover inspects the indicated spot and then returns to Rong'an to report the discovery. This simple act yields 10 Astrite.
Another Rong'an can be found north of Jinzhou, surrounded by hostile Tacet Discords. The enemies must be defeated first, and then Rong'an requests a Wintry Bell. Handing over the item completes the exchange and rewards the player with 10 Astrite.
A third Rong'an waits north of Jinzhou city, troubled by a backpack lost in the water. Salvaging the bag from the water and speaking with him grants another 10 Astrite.
A fourth Rong'an appears on a bridge northwest of Fallen Grave. In this case, no combat or item is required. Simply talking to him is enough to receive 10 Astrite. Is there any easier way to earn premium currency? Arguably not.
The Xingbai Encounters
Xingbai is perhaps the most frequently seen generous NPC in the early version. West of Settle Range, he asks the Rover to deal with three Tacet Discords. It is important to speak with him before engaging the enemies, otherwise the interaction may not register correctly. After the fight, returning to Xingbai grants 10 Astrite.
He appears again near a facility west of Donglu Research Station with the same request. Defeat the Tacet Discord and talk to him afterward for another 10 Astrite.
Southeast of the Sea of Flames, another Xingbai simply gives away Astrite for free after a friendly conversation. There is no errand, no enemy wave, and no hidden condition.
Northeast of Qichi Village, a fourth Xingbai asks a handful of questions that have no wrong answers. After the dialogue, the player receives the usual 10 Astrite. Could this be the most relaxed Astrite farm in Wuthering Waves? Quite possibly.
The most memorable Xingbai encounter takes place near the Resonance Beacon in Hermit Settlement. He mentions his missing dog, and the player must use the Sensor to reveal a glowing blue line in the air. By following that line until it fades and then returning to report the direction, the Rover earns 10 Astrite without ever actually locating the animal. Yes, the dog does not need to be found.
The Cheng Encounters
Near Lollo Warehouse, a hungry Cheng waits beside a road east toward Plateau Ruins. Giving him any food item from the inventory is enough to receive 10 Astrite. It is a simple transaction that rewards even the most common meal.
On top of a broken bridge, another Cheng complains that enemies are trying to extort him. Defeating those enemies and speaking with Cheng again grants the standard 10 Astrite.
Just south of the second Rong'an near Jinzhou, a third Cheng stands beside some boulders. He asks the Rover to recover his backpack from a crowd of Tacet Discords. Clearing the area and retrieving the bag leads to another 10 Astrite.
A later rescue encounter has the Rover saving Cheng from enemies once again. The exact coordinates are less clearly marked than the others, but the routine remains identical: clear the threat, talk to Cheng, and collect 10 Astrite.
Taken together, these encounters offer a quiet but valuable stream of early Astrite. Are all thirteen available at the same time, or must they be completed in a strict order? The original explorer could not confirm a fixed sequence, so new Rovers should feel free to visit the locations in any order. Even as Wuthering Waves continues to evolve, this kind of low-effort reward hunt remains a pleasant way to explore Huanglong while padding the currency stash. Veterans who cleared these spots long ago may have moved on, but anyone starting a fresh journey can still follow the trail and claim a healthy stack of Astrite without spending a single penny.
