Where Winds Meet

Introduction

This guide compiles the essential weekly activities to prioritize in Where Wind Meets, especially for players with limited time. The focus is on maximizing progression and resource acquisition. 00:04, 00:16

1. No-Grind Store (Season Shop)

Your top weekly priority. You can earn up to 20,000 Mo Yu per week. Spend it on the following items in order of importance: 02:36, 02:44

  • Star Method Scattered Book Four Boxes: Cost 6,000 Mo Yu total. A must-buy for power progression.
  • 100 Gifted Jade for Disciple Training: Cost 1,500 Mo Yu. Becomes crucial around levels 51-56. 02:49, 02:57
  • Life Supplies Resource Box (x10): Cost 800 Mo Yu. Essential if you don't want to manually gather basic materials.
  • Martial Arts Self-Select Insights (x35): Cost 5,600 Mo Yu. Buy these if you actively play at least two different builds.
  • Equipment Treasure Chest (x25): Cost 2,500 Mo Yu. Buy the highest tier available for your level, especially important at levels 50/60.
  • Esoteric Arts Resource Breakthrough Box: Cost 500 Mo Yu each (5,000 for 10). Purchase based on your current need for these upgrade materials.
  • Forging Coins: Very cost-effective at 2,500 coins for 50 Mo Yu. Recommended.
  • Optional Items: Silver Body Cultivation, Appearance items, and Copper Treasure can be purchased based on your personal goals and resource needs. 03:59, 04:09, 04:34

2. Maritime Trade Office (Short Ink Money)

A weekly trading activity similar to a turnip market. The goal is to buy low and sell high.

  1. Rent a Warehouse: First, visit the Fengshi Yamen next to the Maritime Trade Office in Kaifeng. Rent a warehouse to increase your storage capacity from the base 20. For best results, rent the most expensive one (10,000 for 60 slots). 06:03, 06:34
  2. Check Price Fluctuations: At the Maritime Trade Office, use "Price Fluctuation View" to see which goods have changing prices in your world (local fluctuation).
  3. Check Remote Prices: Talk to the Maritime Trade Office and select the second option to view price fluctuations in other players' worlds (remote fluctuation). Look for items with a 200-300% increase. 07:34, 07:41
  4. Sell in Other Worlds: To sell your goods at a high remote price, send a polite inquiry to that player. If they don't respond in a minute or two, try a connection request. 07:52, 07:59
  5. Reduce Taxes: Join a Hundred Trades and upgrade the "Maritime Trade Tax Reduction" memory in the "Prosperity Through Commerce" section. This lowers the 11% trade tax when dealing with guildmates. 08:37, 08:44
  6. Trade with Guildmates: Go to your Hundred Trades stronghold, enter the door, turn left, and find the merchant at the end. Here you can see online members and their world's selling prices for easy, low-tax trading.

3. Abyss & Hundred Trades Abyss

A key source of weekly gear and upgrade materials.

  • Normal Abyss: Run the highest difficulty you can each week. Rewards include 10 weapon selection boxes and 2 guaranteed Tuning Stones for your level. Follow the mechanics (e.g., follow the donkey, move barrels). 09:30, 09:40
  • Hundred Trades Abyss: This is an extra weekly dungeon exclusive to guild members. It provides an additional set of rewards, making joining an active Hundred Trades highly recommended for faster progression. 09:51, 09:56

4. Manage Your Energy Systems

Two key resources recharge over time and must be spent weekly.

Mental Energy (Dungeon Energy)

  • Cap: 500 points. Recovers 1 point every 9 minutes (takes ~3 days to fully recharge).
  • Usage: Spend this on leader dungeons for Martial Arts breakthrough materials and equipment, and on the "Blood Power Green Horn" for Esoteric Arts upgrade materials.
  • Tip: Clear your Mental Energy twice a week. You can stockpile it just before a new level cap increase to power-level quickly. 11:09, 11:12

Stamina (Crafting Energy)

  • Cap: 2500 points. Recovers 450 points daily. 11:19, 11:22
  • Usage: Used for crafting arrows, cooking, medicine, etc.
  • Weekly Task: Clear your Stamina approximately every 5 days to avoid waste.
  • Preparation Tip: With no immediate goal, use Stamina to cook fish dishes. This prepares you for future features like the "Gold-Sink Den" (not yet on global servers). 11:38, 11:42
  • Efficient Fishing: Go to a multiplayer map for more fish variety. A recommended spot is on the Qinling Mausoleum map. Use the Taiji to fish efficiently. 12:01, 12:06

5. Battle Pass & Store

  • Battle Pass: Weekly experience is capped, but you don't necessarily need to max it out each week if you are active. The final season level is 80. 04:50, 05:03
  • Battle Pass Store: This season offers 104 coins total. For combat-focused players, consider the Martial Arts Breakthrough Selection Box, Martial Arts Upgrade Box, and the Esoteric Arts Breakthrough Resource Box (3 for 15 coins). 05:14, 05:22, 05:28
  • Jianghu Hundred Treasures Store: Remember to buy the two weekly "Bird's Eye" items here if you wish to pull for appearances in the gacha.

Final Tips

  • Join an Active Hundred Trades: This is repeatedly emphasized for benefits like the extra Abyss, tax reduction, and easier maritime trading.
  • Play at Your Own Pace: These tasks are for players looking to optimize progression. You can choose to engage with them based on your available time and goals.
  • Controller Consideration: For combat, a controller with features like auto-fire or macros can be helpful for executing combos. 00:49, 01:09
