THE Wuthering Waves Synthesizer is a way to convert materials and items you have collected during your travels into useful items such as healing items or stat boosts.

As with most things in Wuthering Waves, using this machine to create new items is not as simple as it seems as there are several things you can do, tabs to navigate and levels to navigate.

Without further ado, we are here to explain how to use the synthesizer in Wuthering Waves And where to find one.

How to use the synthesizer in Wuthering Waves

To use the synthesizer in Wuthering Waves, you need to find one and interact with it. You will then open the Synthesizer menu.

There are three distinct submenus in the synthesizer:

  • Potion making – To create healing, resistance, stat-boosting, and other enhancement items.
  • Build – To craft other materials needed for synthesizer or weapon upgrade.
  • Purification – To craft materials used for upgrades, skill upgrades and other enhancements.

You can navigate between the different menus using the tab highlighted in the image below:

Then you can hover over each item in your chosen section to bring up a menu on the right side of your screen that gives you the item’s details.

This menu will also tell you what materials you need to craft the selected item. If you have enough of the required materials, you can use the “Synthesizer” option at the bottom of this menu to create it. You can use the slider just above this prompt to adjust the number you want to create, although this depends on the amount of required materials you have in your inventory.

If you see something you want to create and you have the right level for it, we highly recommend doing it as soon as you have the right materials. The synthesizer is on a timer and will refresh from time to time. You can check how much time is left of this synthesizer cycle by looking at the lower left corner of the screen.

The more potions you synthesize, the more skills you gain. You need mastery to be able to increase your rank in the synthesizer and there are five ranks in total:

  • Beginner pharmacist
  • Assistant pharmacist
  • Practitioner
  • Expert pharmacist
  • Master Pharmacist

You can check your current rank and progress to the next one by selecting the “Summary Level” tab at the very top of the menu on the left side of the screen.

This opens the “Level Summary” menu where you can see your current rank, your skill level, how far you need to go to reach the next rank, and the rewards you will get for leveling up.
