The Wanderer's First Steps
From your first login to your first weekly reset. A practical roadmap to surviving Jianghu without the confusion.
Setup & Controls

Where Winds Meet opens with a string of setup screens. Starting from a strong baseline means fewer restarts.
Recommended Settings Checklist▼
Guidance: Detailed (Keep markers visible)
Control Mode: ARPG (Camera follows movement)
Difficulty: Recommended (Balanced baseline)
Social: Shared Journey (Enables co-op)
#Combat Setup
Put defense on the mouse and offense on the keyboard.
Core Basics
#Character Creation
Pick an Aspiration Talent that matches your curiosity (e.g., Drunken Precision for mini-games). Don't stress about min-maxing here.
#Reading the HUD
- Qi Bar: If it breaks, you can't block. Back off.
- Enemy Qi: Break this to trigger an Execution.
- Mystic Arts: Flexible abilities for CC or puzzles.
The Journey
#Main Story First
#Exploration Habits
- 🗿Unlock Boundary Stones early for fast travel.
- 🔥Talk to Wayfarers at Campfires to reveal the map.
- 🎒Pick up everything. Herbs and ores become bottlenecks later.
Growth & Routine
#Daily Checklist
#Weekly Priorities
Caps matter more than errands. Prioritize Weekly Dungeons and buying out limited shop items (Internal Arts, Upgrade Boxes).
#Resource Habits
Dismantling unused gear gives permanent account power.
Use materials to upgrade. Power now = faster farming later.
