How to Get Lemon Braised Pork and Sweet and Sour Pork in Wuthering Waves

Echo Farming is one of the most satisfying but grindy parts of Wuthering Waves. Unlike other gacha games, stamina doesn’t limit you from grinding Echoes. However, you’ll still want to raise your chances of getting rare Echo drops. Today, we’ll look at some food in Wuthering Waves that increases your Echo drop rates. Let’s go over how to get Lemon Braised Pork and Sweet and Sour Pork in Wuthering Waves.

How to Get Lemon Braised Pork

You unlock Lemon Braised Pork by purchasing the recipe from the Hongzhen Souvenir Store in Mt. Firmament. This requires you to complete the Wuthering Waves 1.1 story quest Age of Eons. After this, you can purchase the recipe for Lemon Braised Pork for 15 Wood Textured Shards.

After this, head to the Windchimer NPC and reach level 4 with her by submitting 30 Windchimers. You can find these all over the island and they’re marked with a Bell symbol on your map.

How to Get Ingredients

Getting ingredients is surprisingly simple in Wuthering Waves, however, it will cost you a bunch of Shell Credits. You can buy all the ingredients from Mahe’s Grocery store, which is located right behind the Panhua’s Restaurant in Hongzhou. Note that the Incense Oil in particular is pretty expensive.

Is Echo Food Worth the Investment?

Contrary to the in-game description, the bonuses from these foods are not additive. They are multiplicative in nature despite what you might assume. So, the 50% bonus from the Sweet and Sour Pork only gets your Echo drop rate to go from 20% to 30%. Adding the Lemon-Braised Pork on top of this only gets you from 30% to 36%. Overall, it’s a 16% increase for two fairly expensive items, assuming you’re at high enough data bank levels.

While disappointing, this is pretty standard practice in gacha games. However, with both food bonuses applied and stacked, if you’re going for a full 30 minutes of Echo farming, the difference is actually fairly noticeable. If you’re in desperate need of grinding a lot of Echoes and have plenty of Shell Credits, use the Lemon Braised Pork and Sweet and Sour Pork.
