[Fuenden]A must-see for beginners! A complete guide to early stage strategy | Thorough explanation of the most important 17 points to become stronger as quickly as possible[Where Winds Meet]

Where Winds Meet: Where Winds Meet is an epic martial arts open-world ARPG set in 10th century China. This is a new free game that offers an exhilarating feeling of running around a vast field and mowing down enemies with brilliant action. If you are a beginner, if you make a mistake in the early stages, your development will be delayed, and you may be forced to struggle with the bosses and multi-content content in the later stages. Therefore, in this article, we will carefully select and explain in detail the 17 most important points that you should definitely keep in mind at the beginning. It covers main story priorities, efficient consumption of stamina, early release of movement skills, how to strengthen descriptions (skills), daily routines, and even billing elements with outstanding cost performance. If you practice this, you can quickly develop a strong character even without paying.

In the early stages of Fuenden, there is a high degree of freedom in exploration, so choosing an efficient route is key. Immediately after completing the tutorial, carefully create your character and create an appearance that will help you interact with other players. The map is vast, so rely on the cross marks and red frame instructions on the minimap to proceed. Let's start the strategy step by step right away.

1. Prioritize the main story and remaining missions | If you neglect this, all content will be delayed.

The basics of early stage development in Fuenden are to clear the main story that shines in gold and the remaining missions (side quests). Let's move forward towards Chapter 1, “The Shore of Weak Water.” By prioritizing this route, your character level will rise rapidly, and important content such as acquiring a horse, releasing talents/spirits, and guarding will be unlocked one after another.

Specific steps and rewards

• Clear Chapter 1/Remaining Chapter “Weak Water Shore”: Can be challenged during the story. Upon clearing, guardianship will be released, talents (magic slot increase/special skills), spirit (constant buff), and livelihood (NPC interaction skills) will be released. Earn enlightenment points and experience points by searching for treasure chests and exploring along the way.
• Obtaining a horse: Get it from the quest “Recover the Stolen Horse” or from an NPC. Exploration speed will be dramatically increased, making it easier to navigate across vast maps. If you ride a horse, you can drive automatically, which greatly reduces the stress of traveling in the early stages.
• Strengthen the medicine box at the Living Health Clinic: Give the medicine information to the NPC at the top of Kiyokawa and Mt. Ingetsu. Maximizes the number of portable wound medicines you have, greatly increasing your battle survival rate. Required for early boss battles.

priority mission	release reward	Recommended level
Chapter 1: Weak Water Shore	Guardianship, Talent, Spiritual Law	Around Lv.10
Horse acquisition quest	fast movement	After the tutorial
Living Medical Center	Medicine cabinet expansion	Upon reaching Kiyokawa

For the remaining missions, you can also obtain the passive skills “Yakugawa no Ougi'' and “Meimon Issen'' (assassination technique). Be careful of story branches and choose the efficient route.

2. Understand the mechanism of Shinryoku (shinryoku) | Prevent stamina depletion by exceeding the upper limit

Fuenden's Shinryoku (new power) is equivalent to stamina, and recovers 1 every 9 minutes. If the maximum value is low, it will be difficult to digest the content, so try to break through the level cap and strengthen the mental strength cap at the same time. It will increase naturally as you progress through the story and strengthen your equipment, but it is important to invest early.

• Recovery cycle: Full recovery takes more than 40 hours, so please raise it to 200 or more by Lv.20.
• Consumption destination: Efficiently collected at Takako (guard station/base) as described below.
• How to improve: Main story, hero's journey, and description enhancement.

If you overflow your mental energy, it will be wasted, so always be conscious of your consumption. Take advantage of automatic cap increases in single player mode.

3. Early release of movement skills “light body technique” and wall running | Search efficiency is increased by 10 times

Movement skills are vital in a vast open world. If you release it early on, it will be easier to climb cliffs and find treasure chests in high places.

Light body technique release procedure

• Location: Training menu → Description → Movement tab
• Conditions: Exploration Level Lv.4 (Obtain “Twilight Ball” in Kiyokawa area)
• How to use: Press and hold space to fly. You can fly in the sky and easily capture long-distance treasure chests and gimmicks.

Freedom of wall running

• Location: Give the key item to the NPC near the Heaven Craft/Fire Bonfire.
• How to use: Hold down Shift to run up walls and move vertically.

After unlocking these, if you aim for 100% exploration, your rewards will increase dramatically. Let's learn additional tricks by observing NPCs (observing NPCs' mysterious movements).

4. Make Wurinroku “Today’s Footprints” the center of your daily routine | Enhance your battles and exploration with descriptions

Wulinroku's “Today's Footsteps'' is the top priority daily routine in the early stages. You can get powerful descriptions, healing medicine materials, and passive skills as rewards.

Recommended writing skills

Skill name	effect	Acquisition priority
anti-kyokuken	Improved parrying performance	★★★★★
attack hand	Long-distance treasure chest capture	★★★★☆
esculin	long distance theft	★★★★☆
jump attack	For both exploration and combat use (General's Shrine)	★★★★★

Follow the footsteps and solve the gimmicks (puzzles/devices). Hints will be displayed in detective mode (hold down the right stick).

5. Exchange weekly lessons with academic points (level rise) | Secure valuable materials

Season → Exchange the academic points you have accumulated through Ascent every week. You can get reinforcement materials, currency, and equipment training items. Accumulate points by completing daily tasks, and exchange points systematically so as not to waste them.

Priority exchange: Torikane Tetsu (magic training), set equipment parts

6. Fully digest ancient content | A treasure trove of set equipment and growth materials

Gaogu (consuming mental energy) at the bottom of the menu is the key to growth in the early stages. Please prioritize 3 types.

Details and strategies

• Battle (solo boss): 1 reward per week. Defeat the boss alone.
• Base (solo small fish battle): Once a day after liberating Kiyokawa (reset at 14:00). You can get bird metal iron and appearance items. Re-rewards are possible on friend servers.
• Test (multi-base/boss): Maximum efficiency with 5 people working together. We will divide the roles (tank, healer, attacker). There are many gimmicks and you can get cooperation points.

content	consumerism	Daily limit	Main reward
base	fluctuation	1 time/base	Torikane iron/equipment
Guardianship	fluctuation	unlimited	set arms
test	High	Depending on your cooperation	growing material

Strategy Tips: Master parrying (reacts to red light attacks). Cuts the trunk gauge → Deals a large amount of fatal damage. Suitable for beginners with auxiliary ON.

Since Chinju has infinite laps, we recommend consuming all your mental energy.

7. Best value for money when paying 150 yen for rides | Autorun is a revolution in exploration

The 150 yen (60 charges) vehicle in the Shop → Appearance → Vehicle tab is a divine item. Auto-run, automatic transfer, automatic drop acquisition, and sharing with friends are possible, cutting exploration time in half. You can get the comfort that allows you to catch up with non-paying players. If you want to pay, this is your choice.

8. Priority of the entire Wurinroku｜Efficiency enhancement route

• Top priority: Today's footprint → Base (initial reward is strong) → Wild hunting (field boss)
• Postponed: Bad records, etc.

Please do the Hero's Journey (beginner mission) at the same time. You can collect all gacha stones and training items in 7 days.

Additional points: Strengthen the basics of combat | Parrying and deadly secrets

• Trunk Shaving: If you reduce the ash gauge below the enemy's HP to 0 by attacking or parrying, the gap will increase.
• Parry: Can respond to all attacks. Slow display when auxiliary is turned on.
• Deadly: Press the button to finish.

Multiplayer is available from player rank 10. You can strengthen your weapons with the introduction to the school.

Summary: With this routine, you will be mid-level in one week.

The golden routine at the beginning of Fuenden is the main story & remaining mission progression → full consumption of mental energy (Kogu) → today's footsteps → academic exchange. Accelerate your exploration with light body techniques and wall running, and make yourself more comfortable with 150 yen rides. If you repeat this every day, you can support PvE/PvP without paying. Please enjoy the vast world to the fullest.
