In order to build the best character possible in Wuthering Waves, players will need to upgrade and advance a number of things. Grinding for materials can be a bit of a hassle when it comes to certain upgrades as the further players begin to take their characters and weapons, the more materials they will need for ascension purposes. A lot of these materials can be picked up as players explore the world, but some of them only drop from enemies. A good example are Howler Cores, an important upgrade material that comes in four distinct rarities. Thankfully, there are many enemies that can drop these items, and a few other ways to snag them. Here's an expanded look at how to get Howler Cores in Wuthering Waves.

Where To Purchase Howler Cores

- LF Howler Cores can be snagged for 1500 Shell Credits each.
- MF Howler Cores cost 3500 Shell Credits each.
Players can also sometimes grab Howler Cores from the Store Page in the Item Exchange area. The items available here will rotate and use a special currency called Oscillated Coral to purchase. It is not recommended to waste Oscillated Coral on these as they're relatively easy to farm and the currency can be hard to come by.
