Moonlit Path is returning in Wuthering Waves 3.7 after first appearing in Version 3.1. During the event, eligible spending earns Moonlit Rings, with rewards unlocked as you reach each milestone. The highest tier requires 980 rings and includes a five-star selector.
The event is expected to run from around September 30 to November 11, and any unused rings will reset once it ends. Below, we'll go through all reward tiers, what purchases count toward Moonlit Rings, and whether the event is worth spending for.
If you're already planning to spend during 3.7, you can also save on Lunite through a Wuthering Waves top up at GamsGo instead of paying the full in-game price.
What Is the Moonlit Path?
Moonlit Path is a spending event rather than a gameplay event. There are no stages to clear or Echoes to farm. Instead, qualifying purchases made during Version 3.7 earn Moonlit Rings, which are added automatically to your event progress.
Reach a required number of rings and the corresponding reward becomes available to claim.
The basic system is the same as the Moonlit Path event from Version 3.1, including the milestone requirements. For 3.7, the main changes are the characters available from the 980-ring selector and the version-specific rewards included at some of the earlier milestones.
Moonlit Path Release Date and Duration
Moonlit Path was confirmed during the WuWa Version 3.7 preview broadcast and is expected to begin when the update goes live. The event lasts throughout the patch, giving you roughly six weeks to build up Moonlit Rings and reach whichever milestone you are aiming for.
📌 Keep the event end date in mind. Moonlit Rings reset as soon as Moonlit Path ends on November 11, so any progress you have not used will not carry over. Unclaimed milestone rewards are treated differently: rewards you already unlocked can still be sent by mail and remain available for 30 days after the event ends.
How to Earn Moonlit Rings
Moonlit Rings only come from eligible purchases marked for the event. If an item does not have the Moonlit Path tag, it will not add any rings to your total, regardless of its price.
Eligible purchases are generally found in the following areas:
- The Lunar Observation Card and selected top-up bundles.
- Offers listed in the Special Offer section of the Gift Center.
- Eligible outfits and wardrobe items included in the event.
- Other event-specific shop items introduced during Version 3.7.
The number of rings you receive depends on the purchase, with higher-priced eligible items generally awarding more rings. If Version 3.7 follows the same structure as the 3.1 event, some of the more common options should look roughly like this:
Every Moonlit Path Reward Tier
Moonlit Path has nine reward milestones, starting with a single pull and eventually reaching a selectable five-star Resonator. The ring requirements follow the same structure as the Version 3.1 event, while the rewards at 88, 328, and 1600 Rings have been updated with Version 3.7 cosmetics.
The two milestones to pay the most attention to are 450 Rings and 980 Rings. The first gives you a selectable standard five-star weapon, while the second lets you choose one of three five-star Resonators.
The final 1600-Ring reward is cosmetic, so there is much less gameplay value in pushing beyond 980 unless you specifically want that set.
Which 5-Star Can You Choose at 980 Rings?
At 980 Moonlit Rings, you can choose Shorekeeper, Carlotta, or Phoebe. Unlike the earlier milestones, this reward can make a noticeable difference to your roster, so the right choice depends more on what your account is missing than on which character is strongest in isolation.
You can also check our Wuthering Waves tier list to see where Shorekeeper, Carlotta, and Phoebe fit compared with the rest of the current roster.
How to Choose Your 980-Ring Reward
Shorekeeper is the easiest of the three to fit into different teams. Her kit combines healing with team support, so she makes the most sense if your account still needs a flexible support rather than another dedicated damage dealer.
Carlotta fills a very different role. She is an on-field Glacio DPS built around serious single-target damage, making her more useful when you already have the supports you need but want another main carry to build a team around.
Phoebe is more dependent on team setup. She works as both a Spectro damage dealer and Frazzle enabler, so she becomes much more attractive if you already play Spectro teams that can take advantage of that part of her kit.
If you do not have any of the three and are not building around a specific team, Shorekeeper offers the broadest use across different lineups. Carlotta makes more sense when you specifically need another main DPS, while Phoebe is better suited to an account that is already invested in Spectro and Frazzle teams.
🧠 One restriction to check first: you cannot select a Resonator who is already at maximum Wavebands. If one of the three is already maxed on your account, you will need to choose another eligible Resonator or take the 8 Transducers instead.
Is Moonlit Path Worth It?
Moonlit Path is most useful when its rewards line up with spending you already planned for Version 3.7. The event does not reduce the amount you need to spend on banners or top-ups; it simply adds extra rewards as eligible purchases build up Moonlit Rings.
That makes the value very different depending on how far you were already planning to go. A player who only buys the monthly pass may pick up a few early rewards, while someone spending on Hsin, Suoming, or the rerun banners can naturally reach some of the more valuable milestones.
Free-to-play players can also keep an eye on active Wuthering Waves codes for extra Astrite and other free rewards during Version 3.7.
In practice, the easiest way to judge the event is to look at where your normal Version 3.7 spending would leave you on the reward track. If you are already close to 450 or 980 Rings, those milestones can add meaningful value.
If reaching them would require spending substantially more than you originally planned, the extra rewards may matter less than they first appear.
Final Thoughts
Moonlit Path works best as an extra reward track for players who already expect to spend during Version 3.7. The early milestones add a few smaller bonuses, while the main rewards are concentrated at 450 Rings with the five-star weapon chest and 980 Rings with the selectable Resonator.
If you are aiming for the 980 milestone, it is worth deciding in advance whether Shorekeeper, Carlotta, or Phoebe would actually improve your roster. That gives you a much clearer reason to pursue the selector than simply trying to complete every tier.

FAQ
Do Moonlit Rings Carry over to the Next Version?
No. Moonlit Rings expire the moment the event ends on November 11, and they do not convert into Lunite, Astrite, or anything else. Whatever total you are sitting on when the clock hits zero is simply lost, so spend and claim while the event is live.
Why Is Shorekeeper Only Available Through Spending Events?
Shorekeeper has not received a rerun banner since her debut, so the Moonlit Path selector has become one of the only reliable ways to add her to your account. That is a big part of why this particular event draws so much attention every time it returns.
Which Selector Character Should I Choose?
If you own none of them, Shorekeeper is the safest pick thanks to her universal support kit. Take Carlotta if you need a top-tier Glacio main DPS, or Phoebe if you already run Spectro teams and want a strong Frazzle enabler. Remember you cannot select a character you already have at maximum Wavebands.
