Wuthering Waves Jingran Pre-Farm Guide: Every Material You Need
Jingran, the 5-star Fusion Broadblade damage dealer, debuts on Where Santu Beckons when 3.6 Phase 2 opens September 10. Every material she needs is already known, and almost all of it is farmable right now, including her boss material and her weekly-boss drop.

The wiki's character page went up in late August, so the table above is solid. What is not published yet: her kit numbers (no wiki Combat or skill pages exist as of this writing), her signature weapon's stats (Absolute Pulsation: Thousandfold Deliverance has no wiki page either), and no official Resonator Review. That is normal at this point in a patch cycle. It means this is a material pre-farm guide, not a build guide. Build decisions come after her kit lands in the patch notes.
Everything Jingran needs
Full totals from the wiki character page, Shell Credit included per category:
| Category | Shell Credit | Materials |
|---|---|---|
| Ascension (0→6★) | 170,000 | 46 Forged Empyrean's Sigh, 60 Cloudperch Seed, Whisperin Cores (4 LF / 12 MF / 12 HF / 4 FF) |
| One main Forte (1→10) | 280,000 | Carved Crystals (5 LF / 5 MF / 8 HF / 11 FF), Whisperin Cores (5 LF / 5 MF / 5 HF / 9 FF), 4 Skyward Glazed Heart |
| All Inherent Skills (0→2) | 30,000 | Carved Crystals (3 LF / 3 MF), Whisperin Cores (3 LF / 3 MF), 2 Skyward Glazed Heart |
| One Stat-Bonus strand (0→2) | 150,000 | Carved Crystals (3 HF / 3 FF), Whisperin Cores (3 HF / 3 FF), 1 Skyward Glazed Heart |
The core package — ascension to 90, one maxed main Forte, both inherent skills, one stat strand — comes to 630,000 Shell Credit and 7 Skyward Glazed Heart (4 + 2 + 1). The ascension and core materials are the bulk of the farming. The weekly-boss hearts are the real bottleneck because of the claim cap, so the timing below matters.
Where each material comes from
| Material | Source | Available now? |
|---|---|---|
| Forged Empyrean's Sigh (46) | Calamity Effigy — new Overlord boss in the Mengzhou region, 60 Waveplates per claim | Yes, live since 3.6 launched |
| Cloudperch Seed (60) | Overworld collectible in the Land of Xuanfang (Mengzhou); no vendor sells it | Yes, collect while exploring |
| Whisperin Cores | Whisperin-class Tacet Discords | Yes |
| Carved Crystals | Forgery Challenge domains (weapon and skill materials) | Yes |
| Skyward Glazed Heart (7) | Thousand-Puppet Pavilion in the Court of Shackled Souls weekly challenge, 60 Waveplates, max 3 reward claims per week | Yes, the domain is already in the game |
The waveplate math: start the boss farm now
Forged Empyrean's Sigh drops from Calamity Effigy, the Overlord boss added with Version 3.6. The 46 ascension copies at 60 Waveplates per claim add up to 2,760 Waveplates. Natural regen is 240 per day (one per 6 minutes), so that is roughly 11.5 days of full natural regen just for her boss material, and Phase 1 banners end September 10, about 11 days from now. Farm a few copies a day, or plan to spend Crystal Solvents.
One combat note for the grind: the boss takes 100% more Electro Flare DMG and +20% damage for 6 seconds under any Negative Status, so Electro Rover and Buling clear it noticeably faster. Full mechanics and the echo drop are in the Calamity Effigy guide.
The weekly heart: bank it before September 10
Skyward Glazed Heart comes from Thousand-Puppet Pavilion, the boss of the Court of Shackled Souls weekly challenge in Eastern Xuan Peaks. It unlocks after the Chapter IV Act II main quest "Xuanling Sings, Storm Quelled", and the domain has been in the game since Version 3.5 — no waiting required.
Weekly challenges cost 60 Waveplates per claim and are capped at 3 reward claims per week (you can fight the boss as often as you want; only the claim is capped). The wiki's community drop table averages roughly 1.5 to 3 boss materials per claim depending on your SOL3 Phase, with a note that the sample is small. The claim counter resets every Monday 04:00 UTC+8 on Asia servers. Between now and her banner there are two resets — August 31 and September 7 — for up to six claims. Even at one heart per claim that covers six of the seven she needs; at the sampled averages it clears all seven with room to spare. If you start after September 7, you will be farming hearts during her banner week instead of playing her.
What to skip pre-farming (for now)
Three things are not worth preparing yet:
- Her echo set. Her kit numbers are not published, so nobody can say which sonata wins. If you want a head start anyway, the classic Fusion DPS set Molten Rift (2-piece: Fusion DMG +10%; 5-piece: Fusion DMG +30% for 15s after using Resonance Skill) is the safe default — but re-check her kit before spending tuners.
- Her signature weapon. Absolute Pulsation: Thousandfold Deliverance has no published stats yet. Do not plan pulls or weapon-EXP spend on assumptions.
- Sequences. Nothing to evaluate until the kit and official Resonator Review drop.
What is always safe to stock: Resonance Potions, weapon EXP, Tuners, and Shell Credits. Those are universal and never go to waste no matter which direction her kit leans.
Phase 2 around her
Jingran's debut runs alongside Hiyuki's first rerun (Thousand Futures Mirrored in Snow) and Mornye's third run (Distant May the Starlights Be), with Thousandfold Deliverance, Frostburn, and Starfield Calibrator on the Absolute Pulsation weapon banner. Whether she beats those for your Astrite is the Phase 2 pull guide's job. Budget math if you are planning: a guaranteed 5-star costs 80 pulls, which is 12,800 Astrite at 160 per pull per the official Convene Details, and the patch-wide income breakdown lives in the Astrite per patch article.
FAQ
Where Santu Beckons opens September 10, 10:00 server time (UTC+8) with the rest of 3.6 Phase 2 and runs to September 29, 11:59. The wiki infobox lists the same release date.
Calamity Effigy, the new Overlord boss in the Mengzhou region, at 60 Waveplates per claim. It is live right now, so all 46 copies can be farmed before her banner if you start soon.
No. The wiki lists no shop for it. It is an overworld collectible in the Land of Xuanfang, so pick it up while exploring the new area.
Four for one maxed main Forte, two for the inherent skills, and one per stat-bonus strand: seven for the core package. The weekly challenge caps claims at three per week, so banking before the September 7 reset keeps her banner week free.
Materials, yes. Build, no. Her kit numbers and signature weapon stats are not published yet and there is no official Resonator Review. Expect them in the patch notes around launch. The safe move is to have the mats banked and decide the build then.
