[Fuenden]2025 latest complete early stage strategy guide | Thorough explanation of all points that beginners will never regret and must not overlook

Legend of Wind Yan: Where Winds Meet is an epic wuxia open-world ARPG set in 10th century China. The adventure of freely exploring a vast field and running through turbulent times using a variety of weapons and martial arts is appealing, but due to the number and depth of the systems, the structure is such that beginners can easily get stuck in the early stages. Especially immediately after release, the number of players increases rapidly, so it is important to get an efficient start.

In this guide, we will explain in detail every element that you should never overlook, from login management to livelihood enhancement, collecting oddities, cooking settings, inventory optimization, and exploration techniques. By mastering these, you will be able to smoothly overcome the difficult points in the early stages and advance to the end content in the latter half with plenty of time to spare. The game, which is basically free and compatible with PS5 and PC (Steam), can be enjoyed from single play to multiplayer, but mistakes in the early stages will delay your progress, so please take advantage of this article.

1. A complete manual for login management that you must perform every day

In the early stages of Fuenden, the most easily overlooked aspect is obtaining login rewards. Simply logging into the game is not enough; rewards will not be reflected unless you press the dedicated button in the Events tab or Battle Pass. If you neglect this, you will miss out on valuable gacha stones (currency) and training materials every day, which can make a big difference in just a few days. Especially for beginners, please thoroughly manage the following points in addition to the cumulative login reward.

Procedure for pressing the attendance button on the event tab

1. Open the Events tab at the top of the screen.
2. Select an event such as “Chooseki ~” on the top row.
3. Be sure to tap or click the Attend button that appears in the bottom right.

If you fail to do this, your login account will not be activated and you will not be able to receive limited items. Events are updated daily, so make it a habit to check twice, once in the morning and once at night.

Battle Pass Mission “Select” Operation

The “Login Achievement” mission will be displayed on the Battle Pass screen, but it will not be reflected automatically and you will need to press the “Select” button yourself. This allows you to accumulate points and earn experience items and currency as free pass rewards. The paid pass is for advanced players, but the free pass alone will greatly contribute to raising your level in the early stages.

Additional daily login element: Hero's Journey Mission

A mission is automatically released once a day, and you can earn gacha stones and weapons by logging in and doing simple battles. The content is suitable for early stages, such as cumulative login, character level, and main story progression. If you clear this, you will have stable resources every day.

Just by perfecting your login management, you can get tens of thousands of items worth of free items in a week. It prevents idle play and can be completed within 5 minutes every day, so be sure to make it a routine.

2. Top priority for livelihood enhancement: Detailed usage of medical techniques and Japanese techniques

Livelihood is a life skill system outside of combat, and is the top priority reinforcement target in the early stages. It will be unlocked after you clear the remaining chapter “The Shore of Weak Water'' and focus on leveling up your medical and Japanese techniques. If you ignore these, exploration and combat will become painful due to insufficient recovery and lack of buffs.

Role and method of medicine

Medicine allows you to make your own high-level recovery medicines (such as medicine for wounds), treat illnesses for NPCs and players, and increase the level of your medical deck. You can start working immediately after purchasing your main business equipment from “Okairaku Shoten”.

detail effect

• Make it easier to conquer NPC treatment events and earn limited rewards.
• Multi-cooperation will be strengthened through player treatment, and rescue requests will be possible.
• Card battles become more advantageous by leveling up your deck.

Treatment battle procedure (turn-based card battle)

1. Approach the target NPC or player and select the treatment.
2. Create a 20-card deck (up to 5 of the same card, with a good balance of 1-cost attack and defense).
3. Reduce the opponent's HP to 0 within 10 turns and 20 minutes.
4. Each turn, you select a card with a cost of 3 (Devotion value) and predict your opponent's pattern (e.g. specific turn recovery).
5. If you win, your symptoms will be completely cured, but if you lose, there is a risk that they will get worse. Recommended force confirmation is required.

If you obtain the “Medicine Information'' from the Living Medical Center and give it to Cho Yakuin, the maximum number of medicines you can carry will increase.

Role of Japanese techniques and production guide

Japanese technique specializes in creating marks (5-step marks) and strengthens combat and gathering. You can collect free materials in the field and use them immediately.

Main sign examples

• Increases recovery effect by 15% (lasts for 10 minutes)
• You can get the firepower buff for Heavenly Crafts and Fire.
• Mining aids improve material efficiency

Production procedure

1. I choose Japanese techniques as my main occupation.
2. Secure materials by collecting in the field (free plants, ores, etc.)
3. Select the mark and consume it to activate the buff

This will instantly improve battle stability and material collection.

Livelihood enhancement can be completed around player rank 10 and will solidify your foundation in the early stages.

3. Get exclusive hairstyles for free: Complete steps to use mirrors at home

You can change your appearance even after character makeup, but don't rely on paid gachas to get free hairstyles. The private house mirror you are exploring is the key.

Where and how to get it

• Look for mirrors inside private houses such as in the Kiyokawa area
• Examine the mirror and select “melt paper”
• You can get random hairstyles only twice a day.

Specific spots such as Bosenkyo Hill are also effective. If you visit every day, you can get a wide variety of items without paying anything.

With this, you can maintain motivation and achieve multi-photography.

4. The key to recovery outside of combat: A complete guide to automatic cooking system settings

Cooking is your lifeline for automatic recovery outside of combat, and is essential for conserving stamina. A bonfire is required.

Setting procedure

1. Light a bonfire in the field
2. Tools → Consumables → Create a dish (materials are collected)
3. set to automatic use
4. Set the activation HP percentage (e.g. automatic when below 50%)

This will enable automatic HP recovery while exploring. Prevents mental exhaustion and enables continuous laps.

5. The key to super-strengthening abilities: collecting strange things and using extraterrestrial NPCs

Strange things (glowing insect icons) are scattered on the map, and by collecting them, you can unlock cheat-level abilities such as high-speed map movement, wall-running reinforcement, energy cap increase, and advancement unlocking from the alien visitor NPC. This is the most important element for stability in early battles.

Collection flow

1. The map will be released in the first conversation with the Tengai visitor.
2. Prioritize search for insect icons on the map (use wall running/high speed movement)
3. Passing on the wonders to the outsiders
4. Immediately releases abilities (e.g. infinite stamina)

You can fully strengthen it by conquering the Kiyokawa area. You can also share it with multiple users.

6. Efficient inventory management: Expansion and equipment recovery techniques

Lack of inventory is the enemy of exploration. Expand with currency and collect unnecessary equipment.

Optimization procedure

1. Menu → Expand inventory (using in-game currency)
2. Convert unnecessary items to materials by collecting equipment (obtain reinforcement materials and super materials)

Equipment is mass-produced during the patrol and recycled repeatedly.

7. Boost your search efficiency: Tips for map display, signposts, and operation settings

Streamline your vast maps.

How to open the map

• Xbox: Press Menu button → A
• PS5: Touchpad → Press OK

You can have a clear view by setting the signpost to hide. Obtain a horse (stolen horse quest) to speed up movement.

Don't forget to manage your mental strength (1 recovery per 9 minutes, upper limit depends on single level).

Additional early tips: Horses, leveling up, content release

• Horse: Can be obtained from the quest before the General Shrine
• Level: Story + remaining chapters and guardianship laps are efficient
• Chinju: You can obtain weapons and armor sets.
• Base: Will be reset once a day after Qingkawa is liberated

Summary: Completely clear the beginning with this

The early stages of Fuenden are full of pitfalls due to the large number of systems, but all of them can be resolved if you prioritize login management, strengthening your livelihood (medicine/Japanese techniques), collecting oddities, and automating cooking. Please practice these within one week and aim to reach player rank 10. I sincerely pray that you will be able to enjoy life in the river and lake without any regrets.
