Instead of waiting, you can use Crystal Solvent to restore Waveplates and continue farming for more materials. It is a rare in-game resource that will help you quickly advance to higher Union Levels.

You can either use the inventory or open the in-game map and click on Waveplates to consume Crystal Solvents. Each solvent will provide you with 60 additional Wavesplates.

If you're wondering about the right time to use the Crystals, that would depend on your gameplay. If you want to progress to higher Union Levels and build your characters quickly, use them early. However, if you wish to use them optimally, it's better to wait until you reach a higher Union Level and then spend the Crystals for efficient farming.
