1. Sending exploration teams
During the event, exploration runs last 8 hours. When a team returns, it can bring back Tidal Treasures based on drop rates, while some rewards are guaranteed.
Wavebound Voyage Guide
The core of this event is to gather as many Premium Tidal Treasures as possible and use them as merge materials for higher-tier treasures.

Low spenders should focus on steady run management and clean end timing, while high spenders can simply push straight to the 600-run max reward line.
This page covers team management, Nautical Compass usage, treasure drop rates, merge structure, the 196-run finishing route, and the 600-run max reward route.

Rules
2. Opening and merging treasures
Tidal Treasures can be opened directly, or merged into higher-quality treasures if you want to aim for bigger rewards.
3. Extra exploration teams
Each Lord starts with 1 exploration team by default. During the event, you can unlock more teams with Diamonds. The 2nd team costs 2,000 Diamonds, and the 3rd team costs 10,000 Diamonds.
4. Nautical Compass
You can speed up an active exploration with Nautical Compasses. Each Nautical Compass reduces exploration time by 1 hour. You get 1 free per day, and extra ones come from packs that include the item.
5. Total exploration milestones
The current total exploration milestone rewards go all the way up to 600 runs.
6. After the event ends
When the reward claim period ends, any unopened treasures are automatically opened and the rewards are sent to your bag.
7. Compass carryover
Unused Nautical Compasses stay in your bag until the next Wavebound Voyage event begins.
Total exploration milestone rewards
The more runs you send, the more total milestone rewards you can collect. These rewards include experience upgrade parts, Legendary Universal Hero Shards, and gem-related materials.

How to Run the Event
Since the event lasts 5 full days, the most efficient route is to start from day one and keep your exploration running consistently.
Base flow
From the first day of the event, keep exploring steadily without using compasses and build up your total run count.
Low-spend finish route
Near the end, adjust your total to 196 runs, then send 4 final exploration teams to finish cleanly.
High-spend route
Simply keep pushing toward the 600-run maximum reward milestone.
Basic flow
From day one, do not spend Nautical Compasses right away. Keep your exploration teams running as consistently as possible.
- Try not to leave exploration slots idle
- Use the first part of the event to build stable total runs
- Save compasses and speedups for the final adjustment phase
Low-spend finishing route
For low spenders, the important part is the final run adjustment on the last day.
- Adjust your exploration count to 196 runs
- If needed, use Nautical Compasses + speedups to reach 196
- Then send 4 final exploration teams to finish
Reward claim window
After the event countdown ends, the main thing left is treasure cleanup and reward claiming.
- There is a 1-day reward claim period after the countdown ends
- During this time, you can only open treasures and merge them
- No additional exploration can be started, but already deployed teams remain until they finish
Low-spend core idea: Build steadily from day one, adjust to 196 near the end, then send 4 final teams for a clean finish.

Quick Tips
1. Fewer teams means slower milestone progress
If you only rely on the default starting team, your milestone progress will be slow. If possible, opening up to 4 exploration teams makes the event much smoother.
2. Low spenders should start steady from day one
Keep your exploration running from the first day, then only patch missing runs on the last day. This is usually more efficient than burning compasses too early.
3. Save Nautical Compasses for the final adjustment
Do not use Nautical Compasses randomly. They are much more valuable when used to reach the 196-run target or cover your final gap before the event ends.
4. Do not rush to open Premium Tidal Treasures
Opening Premium Tidal Treasures right away is usually less efficient than saving them for merges into Exquisite Tidal Treasures or Majestic Tidal Treasures.
5. Time first, then plan, is the clearest way to read it
For public-facing guides, time and total runs are easier to understand than estimated spending. Choose your target range first, then decide between the Non-Merge Plan and the Merge Plan.
One-line summary: Low spenders finish by adjusting to 196 runs and sending 4 final teams, while high spenders simply push to the 600-run max reward milestone.
