When Moonlight Shines in the Forest is a side quest you receive in Wuthering Waves after the “events of the Dim Forest”. Qiaomu and Hoohoo have decided to stay around the Violet Banyan and investigate the moons around the area.
Once you accept the quest, you will be required to search for the four moons in the area. You will get some hints regarding their location, however, finding them can be a bit tricky.
It’s a very short quest if you know where to look, and the rewards for it are pretty decent. You will gain a good bit of Union EXP, Astrite, Advanced crafting materials, and Shell Credits.
So make sure that you try and complete the Moonlight Shine in the Forest in Wuthering Waves when you are looking to take a break from the main story.
