Where Winds Meet is a free-to-play open-world martial arts action RPG released on November 15, 2025. In a vast world with beautiful graphics and magnificent BGM, you can use a variety of weapons such as swords, spears, twin swords, ropes, etc., join a school, and master unique martial arts as you go on an adventure.

Among them, Nine Schools is one of the most recommended schools in the early stages. The reason is simple. The joining route is relatively easy, the tricky performance of the special weapon “Rope Arrow'' that emphasizes the number of moves shines at intermediate players and above, and rewards such as back decorations are easy to obtain even without paying. In addition, the weekly quota is easy to achieve with the light content of “Confectionary Games,'' and you can feel free to try it out thanks to the rule that you will be expelled after being imprisoned 10 times.

In this article, we will explain step-by-step the fastest route that even beginners can use to officially join the Nine Ryumon. It also covers details of the martial arts that will be released, how to clear quotas, precautions for withdrawal, and comparisons with other schools. If you read this, the range of battles will expand at once with the addition of Nine Ryumon, and the struggle in the early stages will be resolved.

Overview and charm of Kyuryumon: Why is it recommended in the early stages?

Nine Ryumon is a school whose main weapon is a rope chisel, and is characterized by agile movements and medium-range attacks. In-game schools can be introduced at player rank 10, and once you join, martial arts exclusive to that school will be unlocked. In the case of Nine Ryumon, high-speed consecutive attacks and pulling attacks using a rope chisel are powerful, and can be used from PvE (boss battles) to PvP.

Performance details of rope iron

The Rope Sword is one of the top recommended weapons, and while it has an attack speed close to that of a twin sword, its greatest strength is that it can extend the weapon and attack from medium distance. Damage accumulates quickly because there are many moves and the chance of hitting is high. The parrying motion is also smooth, making it suitable for players who prioritize avoidance. However, in the early stages, the acquisition of martial arts tends to be slow, so use it mainly for basic attacks. It shows its true value for intermediate players and above, and is ideal as a main weapon.

item	detail
attack speed	It's like a twin sword (high speed).
reach	Compatible with medium range (extend attack).
Strengths	It takes a lot of moves, has a high conversion rate, and is easy to parry.
weakness	The period without skills in the early stages is long.
Recommended players	A player who likes tricky mid-range combat.
Ranking	It is S rank.

As a specific example of equipment, “Wind Smoke Rope” (30 realm, 16 grade, foreign attack 6-14, core requirement 5) is excellent. With the set effect “Asuka Setki”, when you activate Kaii, you can increase the attack by 2% (up to 5 stacks), and it is also possible to inflict down damage with heavy aerial attacks. You can obtain it by challenging Wulinroku, trying swords, and subjugating enemies.

Benefits of joining Kyuryumon:

• Martial arts release: Combos will be strengthened with rope-specific skills.
• Free reward: This is the only way to obtain a back decoration.
• Light quota: Can be cleared immediately with Kashigi.

Disadvantages: It is difficult to join stealth, so the official route is recommended.

Prerequisites for joining: Reach player rank 10

Player rank 10 or higher is required for the introduction to the school. Here's how to proceed in the beginning:

1. Clear Chapter 1 “The Shore of Weak Water” (Also improvise remaining chapters and chivalry).
2. Obtain a horse (quest “Recovering a Stolen Horse”).
3. Increase the amount of wound medicine at the Living Health Clinic.
4. Earn experience points by progressing through the story (by exploring and finding treasure chests).

You will now reach rank 10 and will be able to join the nine schools.

Complete explanation of the Nine Ryumon joining route: 99% recommended the official route

There are two joining routes. Official route (via Sansen) and stealth mission. Stealth is not recommended when equipped early on as it has a high failure rate. We will thoroughly guide you through the official route.

Official route: Step by step (duration: 15-30 minutes)

Step1: Move to Toyosaku Village.

Aim for Harvest Village in the southeast of the map. Horses allow you to travel at high speeds.
Look to the right of the building with the gold symbol in the center of the village. It is a prominent location in the Tabata area.
Tips: Clear the surrounding area of ​​enemies before arriving at the village. Let's advance the story so that you don't have to struggle due to lack of level.

Step2: Talk to Sanzen and accept the request.

On the right side of the gold-marked building, find the NPC “Sansen” (a man who looks like a small store).
Conversation selection: Give the treasure (mission instructions will appear). If you don't give it, you won't get a hint.
Tips: If you don't have a Treasure Drop, it will drop from a nearby enemy. Bring out “Elder Oizumi's request'' in the conversation.

Step3: Check the details of Elder Oizumi's request.

Guided by Sansen, we will move to Elder Oizumi (house in the back of the village).
Request: Collect the “treasure” from Zhang Yihao. The location is on a mountain road on the outskirts of the village.
Tips: The elder's house is on the north side of the village. Many small enemies will appear along the way, so prepare in advance with swords and spears.

Step4: Collect the treasure from Zhang Yihao (Combat Tips)

Zhang Yihao is in a camp on the outskirts of the village. We recommend around level 10.
Combat Tips:

• Emphasis on parrying. Counter Zhang Yihao's rush with a parry.
• If you do not have a rope iron, you will compete for the number of moves with twin swords.
• If you can call your allies, they will support you in multiplayer mode (after rank 10).
• Failure pattern: If you charge head-on, you will die instantly. Turn around and attack from behind.

After obtaining the treasure, you can collect it immediately.
Tips: Treasure will be added to your inventory automatically. We recommend saving so you don't drop it.

Step 5: Give the treasure to Elder Oizumi and officially join.

Submit it to the elder and select “Existing Noriyasuyuki'' to confirm your membership.
Rope sword martial arts will be released instantly. A training quest will be added.

Common mistakes and countermeasures

Failure example	cause	countermeasure
I can't find three sen	Misunderstanding of location	Look at the fields on the right side of the gold marked building.
Lose to Zhang Yihao	low level	Proceed through the story and reach level 10 or higher.
Request is not progressing	No treasure	Collect enemy drops.
No martial arts after joining	selection mistake	Be sure to select “Yasuyuki”.

Stealth route: For advanced users (not recommended)

The method is to infiltrate the village and attack the elder directly, but it's easy to fail because of the high level of vigilance. The official route is sufficient.

What to do immediately after joining: Martial arts release and training

Immediately after joining, you will be able to use the rope martial arts. Level up through training quests.

• Liberation martial arts example:
  1. Basic continuous attack: 3 high-speed attacks.
  2. Pull Throw: Pull the enemy towards you.
  3. Agree skill: Damage + stacks.

Training: Repeat with the sect NPC. Strengthen with enlightenment value.
Tips: Collect materials by going around the shrine (consumes mental energy).

Guryumon's weekly quota “Kashigi” strategy

Contents: A light mini-game. You can clear it in a few minutes.
Reward: Back ornament (the only way to obtain it without paying).
There is no penalty for not reaching the goal, but there is a bonus for continuing.
Tips: You can easily achieve this by logging in every day. You will be automatically expelled after 10 incarcerations (re-joining is easy).

Notes on leaving the school: 50,000 yen required, easy to rejoin

Withdrawal: Pay 50,000 yen at the faction NPC.
Note: Martial arts will be lost. If you are imprisoned (violated) 10 times, you will be deported.
