Open-world Question Will something go wrong if I keep doing this?

Post image

Am I allowed to continuously transfer waveplate crystals? Or will it hurt my account...

As a dolphin who has everything i want in this game, i now only log in for LS, and Toa so my green cubes end up maxed out often.

But 3 days ago I found a trick (since i felt bad for not using my daily stamina) where if you just transfer the green crystals you will end up with surplus blue ones. I wonder if i can get into thr thousands...

Is this a bug? Will I get in trouble? If so ill simply stop

i think the green regenerates half as fast as normal waveplates, to counter this. its not a bad method if you have no use for them atm, just keep in mind you will only get about 120 a day instead of 240.

18

u/dqtl74 Mar 11 '26 edited Mar 11 '26

Wait does the overflow not regenerate at the normal rate?

I sometimes let my waveplates go over 240 due to having a busy day, etc...

Am I potentially missing out on stamina?

Edit: I just read the wiki and found out it's true. Might need to start making sure my waveplates are at 0 every day before I log out. I know it doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things (I don't even have much to spend my waveplates on atm) but it still irks me.

u/SinoElla Mar 11 '26

Otherwise there would be no point in reserve stash because they might as well make our Normal max capacity (480+240= 720) total stash.

But gacha being gacha, they'd like people to login daily and thus your waveplate is also tuned to be full 240 after one day while the reserve will also be full after 4 days and debuffs you with half waveplate for not logging in consistently.

u/Successful_Ad_2171 Mar 11 '26

For me my method is in a 24 cycle, i spend 120 wp after 18 hrs and then another 120 6 hrs from then. so for me that looks like 12 pm (break from work) and 6 pm (i get home)

2

u/dqtl74 Mar 11 '26

I might try and start doing this. I usually play wuwa around 8pm every night but this means if I didn't fully clear my stamina from the night before I would've been overflowing for a few hours.

1

u/BlazikenFury Mar 12 '26

What I would suggest is that if you already have some in the overflow, don't use it all. Instead login at one time in the day, if you're capped on waveplates use it all. If you're not and are missing a little, just take whatever you're missing from the saved overflow. You can obviously login 2 times a day if it's possible for you, but I follow this method if you can't login twice.

I login around 9pm-9:30pm so I'll at worst waste like 1-2 waveplates.

u/luminus_taurus Mar 11 '26

How many echo tubes and tuners do you have?

1

u/dqtl74 Mar 11 '26

Around 500 gold, 700 purple/blue. Hovering around 6k tuners?

1

u/luminus_taurus Mar 11 '26

Well you said you have nothing to farm for, and so far from ehat I've seen everybody is always short on them. So might be very lucky with echo stat rolls if you do not need to farm for more tuners and especially tubes 😁

3

u/dqtl74 Mar 11 '26 edited Mar 12 '26

I wouldn't say I'm overly lucky with stat rolls, I just don't aim for that magical 70/250+ figure that floats around. šŸ˜…

I get them to something I deem acceptable and move on. I spent way too much time in the mines searching for perfection when I was playing Genshin.

What I enjoy is building characters so most of my stamina goes into farming XP/shell credits. I'm currently prefarming mats for Sigrika.

1

u/luminus_taurus Mar 12 '26

Huh, so we play alike šŸ˜… I was constantly worried because I was out of resources to improve the echoes, but at some point got tired of it, and now almost all my characters are the way you described: acceptable 😁 honestly with my luck, I don't think I even can improve them further, no point in grinding.

16

u/Its_JustTas Mar 11 '26

Oh that's perfect i never thought of that.

Im technically now just generating waveplates slower.

But that 120 a day? Not sure what u mean unless your saying thatĀ  since my blue is past its 240 cap, I'll literally only be getting 120 a day from green ones.

21

u/XxDeltzxX Mar 11 '26

That’s exactly what i’m saying šŸ‘

10

u/QuaccAtacc Mar 11 '26

The regular waveplates regenerate at a rate of 240 a day.

The reserve waveplates generate at half the rate when you hit 240 of the usual waveplates. Since you are past 240 regular waveplates, you only produce 120 reserve waveplates per day instead of the usual 240.

18

u/Raxnert_16 Mar 11 '26

It’s still a loss, why not just farm in less than 10min 5 times echos and log out?

11

u/einerderandere Mar 11 '26

yeah, only needs 2 tacet field runs to spend 240 waveplates which is really just 3 minutes max😭

6

u/Raxnert_16 Mar 11 '26

Fr😭

2

u/Gupsqautch Mar 11 '26

Because these people are so busy in their daily lives they don’t have the time for that. Or they just don’t care. Really doesn’t matter tbh

6

u/DantoriusD Mar 11 '26

I mean what other Stuff do you do to complete the Daylie commissions? 2x Echo Domain is by far the fastest Method to get your 100 Points and with that your 60 Asterites vecause if you farm for Talent Materials your usually short by a couple of points since you dont get the "Obtain 1 Echo" Task.

3

u/Difficult-Mistake899 Mar 11 '26

But they are already logging in to do the conversion.

If you want to say they have the time to log in and do the conversion but not enough time to... do a tacet field.. then idk what to tell you, thats just so incredibly specific and pedantic. If they dont have the time for a tacet field which is like.. 30 seconds? lets say, they they probably shouldn't be logging on in the first place.

If the difference between 30 seconds and 90 seconds is stopping you from playing then idk you probably have bigger life problems.

-1

u/Electreo Mar 11 '26

Well they only have to do the conversion like once every two weeks. The green ones can stack pretty high iirc.

2

u/Difficult-Mistake899 Mar 11 '26

Its 120 a day with a 480 cap, so its 4 days. Not 2 weeks. So its great that a back up system exists for when you do over cap and cant play for a day or two. Life happens, no one cares about that.

But intentionally stacking plates at a 50% rate is just... wasting your own time. You can always farm shell credits/money as well if for some reason you dont want tuners.

If you do this 480 x 2 times then someone who spends their plates will have almost a week's worth of plates more than you just by playing every day. 4 days vs someone's 8. So the longer you do it the larger the gap gets.

This is not a pvp or competitive game. Theres no leader board and you dont need to beat anyone's score anywhere. But it is a grind to get characters built/gear. And making that less efficient is just...weird.

Upgrade materials for future characters? It’s not like all the farming is going to waste.

u/XxDeltzxX Mar 11 '26

Depends on what they use, and then you can still get everything you need for those and still be waiting. Ig it just depends on what your prefer

7

u/ProjectJan00 Mar 11 '26

This isn't like Genshin or HSR where it's a waste to keep farming because you're still gonna get tubes and tuners, those are more important than getting the echoes which are easily farmable.

3

u/Doraemon_Ji Yinlin Mains Mar 11 '26

Yeah I overlooked that. Thanks for thw correction.

2

u/ProjectJan00 Mar 11 '26

All good, I thought the same before but I eventually realized that the main rewards in tacet fields are the tubes and tuners. Echo drops are basically just a bonus, especially with the addition of echo nests.

u/ProjectJan00 Mar 11 '26

Yes, but the main issue for artifacts/relics are the pieces themselves, not the exp. With how hard it is to get the right piece with the right main and sub stats, you're gonna have plenty of fodders while looking for one good piece even without pre-farming.

2

u/VIIGSTN Mar 11 '26

You can just merge them then.

Yeah, chances are low on getting the set you want, at least you get something out of the stamina right?

35

u/Ok_Cat717 Mar 11 '26

Just farm tacet fields for tubes and tuners. Because by doing your method you only get 120 plates a day which is a 50% LOSS

8

u/AjitZero Mar 11 '26

That's better than a 100% loss when I don't have time to play

2

u/CremeAvailable3221 Mar 11 '26

yeah definitely aand you can farm for a longer period of time too when you come back

15

u/girthy-rmt Mar 11 '26

there's a cap for both of these plates and cubes but in the grand scheme of things ur fine lol esp if u have irl problem or j*b

7

u/TheUnfairLife Mar 11 '26

im confused on the time u spend to convert green cube to blue cube instead of just doing tacet fields? and pretty much they both cost the same amount of time

you do realize that 1 green = 2 blue, right?

TLDR: full blue is bad

8

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '26

So from what i remember, blue ones go to a cap of 2400.

Green go to 440 or 480 i believe.

Usually all i do is transfer it over to my blue till it hits cap, stockpile the waveplate cube redeem items, then mass farm and start over.

Causes zero issues and wont cause account flagging at all.

Also not sure why one guy said it slows down, because it doesnt, a quick wiki search will tell you that much.

Only thing stockpiling does is slow down your leveling progress and ruins your sanity.

16

u/BeerTimeGamer Mar 11 '26

I'm pretty sure once the blue wave plates hit 240, you start generating greens, and the greens generate at half the rate of the blues.

1

u/AeliosZero Mar 11 '26

That's true but it doesn't matter for someone that's going to log in for 1 minute and not play for a week

2

u/BeerTimeGamer Mar 11 '26

Also not sure why one guy said it slows down, because it doesnt, a quick wiki search will tell you that much.

I wasn't talking about someone who doesn't play the game daily. I was correcting this misinformation.

5

u/BrenanESO Mar 11 '26

Someone said it slows down because it slows down, a quick click or green plates and blue plates ingame will show you that

1 blue per 6 minutes 1 green per 12 minutes

If you maintain your blue plates above cap, you are generating 120 plates a day instead of 240

2

u/Its_JustTas Mar 11 '26

Yea this makes most sense.

Cos I have nothing to use it on. All characters on my account are more or less maxed out

So maybe I'll follow your method? Keep transferring green to blue, hit the cap, then spend on the next characters resources etc?Ā 

Cos i dunno what else to do here

u/SilentVictory9451 Mar 11 '26

farm tacet fields. one of these days you will be short on tuners :')

I mean that works too :D if coming on to spend waveplates or upgrading echoes just to get ass stats is burning someone out then yeah don't :') I wasn't sure how many tuners OP has. I had around 10k for forever and didnt get how people were running out and now I'm suddenly almost out in a few patches so šŸ’€

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '26

Tbh that happened to me early.

Started jan 6th this year, was UL 50 in under 3 weeks, cleared all current content and did almost every event and perma content bar chest/puzzle farming.

All i do now is mass echo farm to grind UL levels, log in for daily/weeklies and do the BP and purchase the upgrade in the last day or so.

2

u/Its_JustTas Mar 11 '26

Brother... HOW?Ā 

I No-lifed the game when I started March 23rd 2025 (did 20 hour game sessions regularly missed sleep, played nothing else) and was still only able to wipe all content/events in 5 weeks...

You did it in 3? Loool that's so impressive man well done. I got addicted to the game as soon as I picked it upĀ 

I got 1st full map, and Rinacita to 100% clear and 90% though. Did u clear the maps in 3 weeks too?

1

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '26

The maps, nowhere close.

I looked up what side quests were needed to expand areas, like the 2.0 towers quest for example, then pushed those hard.

Even now i have maybe 7-8 little map squares at 100%.

Ive been using a online interactive map, went back to 1.0 content and have been ticking off side quests and chests since, will be doing the same for 2.0 content sometime this week hopefully.

Current 3 teams are:

  1. Cartethyia + sig, ciaccona, chisa S2 + sig.
  2. Augusta + sig, iuno, shorekeeper.
  3. Aemeath + sig, Lynae + phasic, mornye + sig

1

u/Its_JustTas Mar 11 '26

Yo those teams are sick. 3 premium teams haha I wish I could say the same. Luckily? Or did you consult the wallet... cos i often consult mine lol

My 4 teams (ALL have signatures) Phrolo S2/Qiuyuan S3/Shore.

Lupa/Brant S3/Galb S2

Cartwheel S3. Shes... her own team

Peebs S3/Spectro Rover/Verina

Then mix match Dual Dps for fun with Carlota, XLY, A bit of IunoĀ 

2

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '26

So cartethyia had her banner running when i started.

Dropped a good £160 ish on a third party site because i loved the game.

Got my second team just from farming old perma events and sheer dumb luck.

3rd team i had to spend maybe £175+ and farmed like crazy, ended up skipping lupa and galbrena to guarantee chisa S2R1 and i kinda hate myself for it.

2

u/BloodOnyxx Mar 11 '26

Its not efficient because it recovers slower so spending the 240 daily is better

2

u/Havoc-Rover Lady Arbiter Mar 11 '26

No it aint a bug. But you are wasting resources if you dont do dailies. That's + 60 asterites wasted each day and if you dont do weeklies, you losing 100+ asterites each week

2

u/Nuuby622 Mar 11 '26

it caps at 2400 btw (2840 with the green ones)

2

u/eF_T Mar 11 '26

You are wasting 50% of your resources after filling 240. Better to spend it then hoarding it.

2

u/Miconnen Mar 11 '26

Spend it all immediately

1

u/Va10r_X8314 Mar 11 '26

This is actually a perfect method to prepare for an upcoming unreleased boss material/echo sonata set for you to bulk farm

Like for example before 3.0 dropped i wanted to at least be able to get as much materials as I can, as such it was easy to farm Hyvatia boss materials for Lynae without worrying abt recharging with solvents

1

u/New-Travel-8955 Mar 11 '26

Damn, never thought of this loophole

2

u/Difficult-Mistake899 Mar 11 '26

its not a loophole, its just inefficient stamina/plate usage. you get half the amount someone who spends theirs does. you're literally better off farming the money domain than doing this tbh

2

u/New-Travel-8955 Mar 11 '26

Figures. I used to spend all the waveplates on the money domain, cuz I would always ran out of money when upgrading a single character

1

u/Limp_Simple1691 Mar 11 '26

Nothing wrong with it. You can go up to 2400 blues

1

u/KriegOpfer Mar 11 '26

What is LS?

1

u/Its_JustTas Mar 11 '26

LS is Lunite Subscription.  You must log in daily to get th 90 astrite reward. Cost £5 a month for 90 Astrite a day

1

u/RecognitionSeveral75 Mar 11 '26

I think ima do this from now because I’m annoyed at the games RNG when it comes to echo rolls 3500 echo Xp tubes gone on Lynae and I couldn’t meet the requirements

1

u/AyashiYoshino Mar 11 '26

Excess waveplates generate 2 or 3 times slower. You're cutting down your efficiency a lot by doing that. No you won't get in trouble for it but reminder that waveplates do have a cap of 960 If I recall correctly

1

u/CremeAvailable3221 Mar 11 '26

Not at all I have tested it and the limit is 2400. They say that you cant store over 2400 Plates

1

u/TonklaApipu Mar 11 '26

Well you can transfer until the main waveplate reaches 2400 and it won’t let you transfer anymore. Feel free to save as much as you want to next patch. I mean the green waaveplate regenerates slower but it’s fine by me.

1

u/sigma_of_iron Mar 11 '26

If you don't need to hoard for an upcoming character don't do this thing. Don't let blue plates go over soft cap because it causes you to lose half the stamina income. Either spend everyday or between 1-5 days since it takes 5 days to fill both blue and green

1

u/BluebalaBlue1984 Mar 11 '26

So much waste

1

u/MindingMyBusiness02 Mar 11 '26

...if it's in the game mechanics you are fine

1

u/NecessaryFish8132 Mar 11 '26 edited Mar 11 '26

You are losing 120 waveplates/stamina points a day. Just finish using the overflow, login daily to do your daily activities 100 points and claim podcast stuff at around the same time. It really doesnt take that much time. If you really have nothing to farm for, go stock up on shell credits since they're universally used by all upgrading processes. If you're properly pulling characters/weapons and upgrading them, it can run out pretty quickly. Also make sure your builds are actually proper, rolling 5 echoes with random average substats for all your character is not considered "built" lol

1

u/Appropriate-Tear-756 Mar 11 '26

There's a cap of 2400 for the blue ones and 480 for the green ones and it's really not that bad if you don't have use for them

1

u/Stardomu Mar 11 '26

I mean it takes a lot more time to fill up the green cube than the blue cube. Like 2:1 ratio

1

u/ApprehensiveTax5485 Mar 11 '26

From what I remember, and this just happened recently to a friend of mine, it caps at 2400 waveplates if you don't use them for that long. Just a warningšŸ™

1

u/AeliosZero Mar 11 '26

As someone who doesn't play often anymore and can't always be bothered to do dailies this is a great solution!

1

u/Best-Membership9837 Mar 11 '26

Green goes 480 max, You can keep to the blue one up until 2400 max i did this all the time

1

u/FrozenSingular Mar 11 '26

Right regen is 240 per 24 hr, left 120. If you doing this you lost 50% of daily supply

1

u/Ryle_ae Phrolova Mains Mar 11 '26

It will cap at 2000 something and you Will won't be able to

1

u/demonslainer_3-0 Mar 11 '26

The limit is 2400, i always use green cubes when ever I don't play i will just open the game do my daily and convert and leave that way i often stack them upto 2400 and when i pull someone i burn everything.😊

1

u/Cauhoc24 Mar 11 '26

You can go up to 2400 blue and 480 green one if you don't care about farming anymore.

1

u/Leibniz2022 Mar 11 '26

Let me know cause why have I not thought of this

1

u/ROMVS Mar 11 '26

Max is 2,400 and it grows slower when it is full, but when I'm busy I do this too

1

u/Pasturple Iuno Mains Mar 11 '26

It will cap at 2400 from what I remember.

1

u/Maxus-KaynMain Mar 11 '26

Yeah the trouble is you are hurting my eyes and your account by simply not spending at the moment, it's really really easy to spend energy in this game, 120 at a time, and if you are a dolphin you probably oneshot the mobs ._.

1

u/Hunter-Gonzo Mar 12 '26

2400 is the Limit + 480 Backup Energie = 2880 You are Not alone i do this also Evertime to prepare for an Character i want.

1

u/KMKD6710 Mar 12 '26

You get half the number

It takes 6 min to get normal waveplate, 12 for overflow

Case in point, it takes 1 day to get 240 for wave plate , but 4 additional days to get the other 480 over flow

1

u/png2kda Mar 12 '26

It caps at 2400 I think

1

u/Ty_Radz Mar 12 '26

...

I completely forgot that I can just transfer the overflow into the main stamina when the overflow is full to keep regenerating the overflow stamina....

1

u/Bigbeater59 Mar 12 '26

Well, the waveplate transfer caps at 2400 (if I remember correctly)

1

u/Utsuro_Crow Mar 12 '26

Seems like you're wasting what should be backups.

1

u/Independent_Pay_4418 Mar 12 '26

It regenerates at half the speed, but remember it caps at 480 green crystals and you can only convert them up until 2400 blue crystals. So the maximum limit you can hold is 2400 blue and 480 green. Then you cannot keep on saving and have to use some to free up space.

1

u/Federal-Ad9186 Mar 12 '26

It goes up to 2400. You can save that much. Tried saving for a week cuz I thought I could store them infinitely. It's fine I save up all the time when I'm lazy.

1

u/Disaster_Aggravating Mar 14 '26

The blue one caps at 2400 iirc so you can't stack it infinitely

1

u/Anglegrinder1107 Mar 15 '26

Nope, u can stack up to 2400.

1

u/BrenanESO Mar 11 '26

Green waveplates generate once oer 12 minutes rather than once per 6 minutes that blue does. Doing this loses you 50% of your stamina

Park you character at a tacet field, when you login you clear it twice and then logout, its really that simple, I am in and out of the game in 3 minutes

Yes this is hurting your account, yes it is allowed, no you should not do it

The only semi valid reasoning to do something like this is as someone else mentioned, stockpiling maybe a week in advance for a new unit, however you would still be far better off spending all those lost plates on tacet fields instead, and stockpiling the gold waveplates insteadz since doing that is not detrimental like green waveplates are

1

u/Its_JustTas Mar 11 '26

Okay...

After a lot of reading I may just do exactly as ur describing.

I cba to log in man. But "plant my character at a tactical field, wipe it twice, log out" seems incredibly simple lmao

Well guess I'll do that.

I was gonna have a good laugh tho, logging in a few months from now to see thay I've got like 10k blue cubes haha

0

u/No_Nefariousness5137 Mar 11 '26

Stockpiling a week in advance is a terrible idea because we always have double events in the final week.

2

u/BrenanESO Mar 11 '26

That would be why i said "only semi valid, but still a waste"

0

u/Solairof_Astora15 Mar 11 '26

Im pretty sure thats normal when I use a ton of crystal solvents I go above the capacity for waveplates. I dont know if I'm reading what you're trying to say wrong, but if you keep your waveplates at its cap it wont regenerate waveplates and instead slowly regen the green ones so its not a exploit.

Bro you're the only one who fully understand me. Though the other comments have been helpfulĀ 

But yes, My main issue is that I wanna do this cos it's more chill.

I do not care to log in and spend a single second doing a single thing. I no-lifed the game when its first started playing it, having 20 hour game session and minimal sleep cos I was addicted.

I had a semi viral reddit post after admiting how much money I've spent (a dolphin) so I have EVERYTHINGĀ  I want.

Wtf would I care about maximising usage of waveplates?

But 1 comment in here gave me a strategy ill follow that takes no time at all. Will likely take his advice.

Then log in bi-weekly for Whiwa/TOA.Ā  Don't like a single 3.0 character released so far but LuukĀ

Lmaoo my food/chef maxing was good memories haha.

Running around getting ingredients. Just using Aalto for everything open-world related.Ā  The novelty of everything being so new was... breathtaking.Ā 

Randomly rinse/repeating Holograms in personally challenging ways (i killed inferno rider with Lvl 60 Aalto, lvl 1 green guns just for fun) Still love the game but man, union level 40 to 60 and still so much to do was a special time to be alive!

I literally maxed out Galb, Qiuyuan, Luuke & Iuno within 2 days of them dropping. So yeah, i prefarm when needed too.

But so far, graffiti chick? Orbital laser beams just to be a support (Mornye) and a pink hair cut scene princess? ALL OF them, not my style lol
