    Joining the Well of Heaven Sect in Where Winds Meet: Completing and Solving

    Sects are an important part of both the single-player and social aspects of Where Winds Meet. They give you rewards for following certain rules and punish you for breaking them. Luckily, there are many exclusive rewards available, like special Sect outfits.

    The Well of Heaven is a group of honest travelers who choose not to follow any powerful figures. Instead, they use their skills to protect the weak and help those in need. Below, we will explain all the ways to join the Well of Heaven Sect.

    How to Start the Initiation: Well of Heaven

    To begin this quest, go to Harvestfall Village in the western part of Qinghe. Talk to San Qian in the local restaurant. Pay him 200 coins for the information he offers, then follow the quest marker to head outside of town.

    How to Join the Well of Heaven

    Talk to the Well of Heaven Elder. Show your gratitude by paying him 999 coins. He will then ask you to steal a bag of valuable jewels from an old friend. However, this Elder is secretly a member of the Nine Mortal Ways in disguise, so you can ignore that request.

    Instead, approach Zhang Yihao and ask to join the Well of Heaven. To join, you need to collect three pieces of Ill-Gotten Wealth, which are stolen items. Some NPCs carry these items. You can get them either by using Celestial Seize to steal them back or by asking during the Gift of Gab mini-game.

    In Harvestfall Village, two pieces can be obtained from the Nine Mortal Ways member disguised as a Well of Heaven Elder, and one from San Qian at the restaurant. Another two can be found by stealing from Fu Lushou at General’s Shrine. You can find these items by using Wind Sense to check people’s inventories while walking through busy areas.

    Sometimes, you can also obtain Black Market Goods by drinking wine, which sometimes contains Ill-Gotten Wealth. You can buy this wine from Hao Jiu in Harvestfall Village.

    Once you have all three pieces of Ill-Gotten Wealth, take them back to Zhang Yihao. Turning them in will officially make you a member of the Well of Heaven, and you will instantly gain access to the Thundercry Blade martial art.

    Joining the Well of Heaven After Leaving Nine Mortal Ways

    If you previously stole from Zhang Yihao, returned his jewels to the fake Elder, and joined the Nine Mortal Ways, this quest method won’t work. Instead, you will need to leave the Nine Mortal Ways first.

    To do this, go to the Sect page and choose Betray Master. Find Ni Laoshan in Harvestfall Village, and pay 50,000 coins to leave the sect. After paying, return to Zhang Yihao and repeat the process by collecting the three pieces of Ill-Gotten Wealth to join the Well of Heaven again.

    How To Join The Nine Mortal Ways Sect in Where Winds Meet and Complete Its Secrets

    “Where Winds Meet” offers several Sects you can join to unlock new martial arts weapon skills, cosmetics, and other game features. However, these Sects can be secretive and selective with whom they accept as disciples, so you’ll need to find clues on your own.

    The Nine Mortal Ways is one of the more secretive Sects, but it’s also one of the most exciting, especially if you enjoy deception. Here, we’ll explain all the ways to join the Nine Mortal Ways.

    How to Join the Nine Mortal Ways

    Getting into the Nine Mortal Ways is similar to joining the Well of Heaven, with one main difference. Both recruitment processes start in the same way.

    First, go to Harvestfall Village in western Qinghe. Talk to San Qian at the restaurant and pay him 200 coins for a tip. After paying, follow the quest marker to the next objective.

    Next, speak to the Well of Heaven Elder outside the town. Pay him 999 coins to show your appreciation. He will then ask you to steal some valuable jewels from another Sect member.

    Follow the quest marker northeast to Zhang Yihao’s location. Use Celestial Seize to steal a large pile of jewelry from him, then return the bag to the Elder. Once you do, he reveals himself as a Nine Mortal Ways Elder, not connected with the Well of Heaven. You’re now officially a member of the Nine Mortal Ways. If you agree to go along with it, tell him you’re “going with the flow,” and you’ll gain access to the Mortal Rope Dart.

    Alternate Method

    If you’ve already completed this quest and refused entry, there is another way to join.

    You can join the Nine Mortal Ways by giving Icchantika of the Midnight Blades a Rogue Token. When joining the Midnight Blades, select the option “My heart is that of Asura Heart,” and he will give you a Rogue Token. You can present this token at any time to join the Nine Mortal Ways, even if you’ve previously completed the quest and joined the Midnight Blades. Icchantika will always be in the same spot at Halo Peak.

    Other Ways to Get a Rogue Token

    You can also obtain a Rogue Token from Hao Jiu, an honest merchant in Harvestfall Village. You can buy one token daily for about a thousand coins.

    How to Join the Silver Needle Sect: Completing and Solving in Where Winds Meet

    Discovering your path in Where Winds Meet opens the door to learning new skills, forging important alliances, and uncovering your background’s secrets. There are many routes to take, and each one offers valuable experiences. Choosing a sect to join is just part of the journey, with the Silver Needle being a good place to start.

    Before you can join this distinguished group of healers, you need to show you understand their beliefs and follow their rules. We’ll guide you through how to complete their initiation and stay in good standing so you can build a successful career as a doctor.

    How to Answer the Three Questions for Dr. Yuan

    When you hover over the Silver Needle option in the Sect menu, you’ll get a hint on where to find a contact for the group. Joining is straightforward: impress this person, and finding Dr. Yuan becomes easier than you might think. To meet him, head to Sage Knoll in the south part of Qinghe, not the northern clinic. Inside, you’ll see Dr. Yuan dressed in white robes behind a desk. Talk to him about joining the Silver Needle Sect, and he’ll ask you to answer three questions.

    These questions aren’t traditional. Instead, your responses are the payments you request from three patients you help. The main rule for Silver Needle disciples is “one life, one price,” emphasizing that healing is a sacred art, and you should ask for something meaningful in return for the priceless gift of life.

    What Payment to Choose for the First Patient

    The first patient is a sick merchant located south of you, in a bamboo grove. He’s in intense pain and clearly upset. Use Wind Sense to examine his illness, then choose a reward for your healing. The best option is the Ill-gotten Wealth: Artwork. Although the merchant protests, offering to give you anything else, maintain your stance and confirm your choice. After healing him, move on to treat another patient further down the hill.

    What Payment to Choose for the Second Patient

    Further south, you’ll find an intoxicated man who has fallen and hurt himself. He’s asking for help with a fracture but has little to offer. Pick the jar of Parting Tears as your payment. The man will protest, but confirm your decision and proceed with treatment despite his objections.

    What Payment to Choose for the Third Patient

    Higher up the mountain, a shivering orphan girl awaits your help. She has nothing valuable to offer as payment. You can even choose to treat her for free, but remember the rule of “one life, one price.” Select the scrap of fabric as your payment and complete her healing. Afterward, return to Dr. Yuan and give him your answers. He will then offer you a spot within the Silver Needle Sect.

    Silver Needle Sect Overview

    Joining the Silver Needle opens access to exclusive shop items and cosmetic options as you grow in the group. To remain in good standing, you’ll need to follow these rules:

    • Shared Healing: Successfully participate in multiplayer heals to earn +10 precept value.
    • Healing Bodies and Minds: Collect at least 15 likes weekly; otherwise, your precept value drops by 10.

    Your martial arts focus will be either the Panacea Fan or the Inkwell Fan, based on whether you prefer healing or damage-dealing.

    How to Leave the Silver Needle Sect

    You can leave the sect whenever you want by completing the required trial for exiting. Leaving will reset your titles and progress within the group, but you can rejoin later. Be aware that there might be cooldown periods before you can leave or rejoin again, depending on when you do it.
