Where Winds Meet: Daily & Weekly Activities Checklist – Master Your Farming Routine

Why You Need a Solid Activity Routine

If you’re serious about progression in Where Winds Meet, jumping into activities randomly is a recipe for wasted time and missed rewards. The game rewards players who develop a consistent farming routine—the difference between someone grinding aimlessly and someone maximizing every currency, material drop, and cosmetic unlock is knowing which activities matter most and when to do them.

This guide breaks down every single daily and weekly activity available, what rewards you should prioritize, and how to structure your playtime so you’re not spinning your wheels. Whether you’re pushing for higher gear scores, hunting rare weapon drops, or collecting hairstyles, having a checklist keeps you on track.

Daily Reset Times & Planning

Before we dive in, here’s the critical info: All Daily activities reset at 4 PM EST each day, and Weekly activities reset every Monday at 4 PM EST. Plan your gaming sessions around these times if you want to optimize your rewards.

Where Winds Meet Daily Activity Checklist

Let’s start with what you should be grinding every single day. These activities use Mental Energy (your primary resource) and various seasonal currencies, so pace yourself accordingly.

Campaign Challenge – Your Main Reward Engine

What It Is: Repeatable boss fights unlocked after you beat them in Open World solo mode. Each boss fight grants rewards tied to that specific encounter—think weapon drops, Inner Path Manual Pages, accessories, and cosmetics.

How to Access: Main Menu → Wandering Path

Rewards: Gear, Sets, Weapons, Materials, Notes, Cosmetics, Martial Arts Chests

Resource Cost: 20 Mental Energy per clear (40 for 2x difficulty, 60 for 3x difficulty)

Why It Matters: These are your bread and butter for getting specific gear drops and building your character’s arsenal. If you’re targeting a particular weapon or set piece, Campaign Challenges are where you’ll spend most of your energy. The difficulty scales with your Solo Mode Level, but you can always join cooperatively through Assistance Signposts if you’re struggling.

Outpost Challenge – Group Grinding Made Easy

What It Is: These are renegade fortresses scattered across the Qinghe and Jianghu regions. Solo mode lets you clear one outpost at a time, while the cooperative version chains five outposts together in a single run.

How to Access: Main Menu → Wandering Path

What to Expect: Each outpost throws roughly 12 elite enemies at you before spawning a boss. It’s challenging but totally doable with a solid group.

Rewards: Gear, Sets, Weapons, Materials, Notes, Cosmetics, Martial Arts Chests

Best For: If you want variety without constantly fighting the same bosses, Outpost Challenges mix things up while still rewarding you generously. The cooperative version is efficient for farming multiple rewards in one session.

Sword Trials – High-Difficulty Cooperative Content

What It Is: Endgame cooperative activity where groups of two or more players assault and clear an enemy fortress. Think of it as Dungeon-level difficulty with matching rewards.

How to Access: Main Menu → Wandering Path

Rewards: Currency, Equipment, Useful Items

Fair Warning: These are legitimately tough. You’ll want to coordinate with your group, make sure everyone understands their role, and come prepared with decent gear. But if you’re looking for a challenge with worthwhile payoff, this is it.

Casual Activities – The Easiest Daily Reward

What It Is: Participate in one casual activity daily (Pitch Pot, Fishing Contest, Wrestling, or Archery Contest) and claim your bonus reward.

How to Access: Activities tab in Main Menu

Resource Cost: None

Pro Tip: Go with Pitch Pot if you’re lazy. It doesn’t consume any resources like bait or arrows, and it’s genuinely easy to win. You get the same rewards as the others, so there’s no reason to grind the harder ones unless you enjoy them.

Rewards: Oscillating Jade, Experience, Money, Resources

Daily Rewards (Events & Battle Pass)

What It Is: Free daily rewards handed out during each season through events and your battle pass.

How to Access: Main Menu → Battle Pass Tab or Event Tab

Why Don’t Skip This: Breakthrough Materials, pull tickets, and cosmetics are just waiting to be claimed. It’s literally free stuff—make it a habit to check in and grab these every single day.

Rewards: Money, Resources, Breakthrough Materials, Cosmetics, Pull Tickets

Guild Events – Community Farming

What It Is: Once you’ve joined a guild, your Guild Master or officials post daily activities that need completing. These often tie into other activities you’re already doing (like Campaign Challenges or Outpost runs).

How to Access: Main Menu → Guild Tab

Why It’s Valuable: The rewards stack on top of what you’re already getting. If you’re going to run Campaign Challenges anyway, completing the associated Guild Event is just bonus loot.

Rewards: Money, Resources, Breakthrough Materials

Note: You need to be in an active guild to access these. If your current guild is dead, don’t hesitate to look for a more active one—the difference in daily rewards is noticeable.

Jade Shop Daily Purchases – Smart Currency Spending

What It Is: A daily rotation of items you can purchase using Jade Fish and seasonal currencies you’ve earned from other activities.

How to Access: Main Menu → Shop → Offers → Exchange Shop

How to Maximize It: Don’t just buy whatever looks cool. Prioritize Breakthrough Materials first, then leveling items, then cosmetics. The shop rotates daily, so check in to see what’s available before you spend your currency on something suboptimal.

Rewards: Money, Resources, Breakthrough Materials, Cosmetics, Martial Arts Chests

Daily Cosmetic Unlock (Hair Combing)

What It Is: Use the Mirror in your home (Heaven’s Pier Safe House) twice daily to comb your hair and receive random hairstyles.

How to Access: Any Safe House with a Mirror

Frequency: Twice per day

Why Bother: If you’re collecting cosmetics, this is literally free hairstyles. Takes 30 seconds, so why not?

Rewards: Random Hairstyles

Bounties – PvP & Helper Tasks

What It Is: Work board in every major town offering repeatable tasks: catch criminals (PvP), heal other players (Healer role), or defend falsely accused players (Scholar role).

How to Access: Bounty Board in major towns (or Bounty Menu once you’re Level 20+)

Currency Earned: Bounty Tokens (used to post bounties or exchange for shop items)

Flexibility: No daily limit on PvP bounties, but weekly bounties have caps and offer better rewards.

Rewards: Bounty Tokens

Daily Wayspot – Community Spotlight Rewards

What It Is: Orange Butterflies scattered across the world mark special photo spots. Find one, take a screenshot at the marked location, and claim your reward.

How to Access: Explore and look for Orange Butterflies

Frequency: Once per day

Effort Level: Minimal, but encourages exploration

Rewards: XP, Money, Resources, Enlightenment Boost

Where Winds Meet Weekly Activity Checklist

Weekly activities reset every Monday at 4 PM EST and offer significantly better rewards than daily grinds. Prioritize these if you’re serious about progression.

Weekly Dungeons – The Premium Gear Source

Availability: First launches the week after Monday, November 24, 2025

What It Is: Group activities with assigned roles (Tank, Support, DPS). These require serious coordination, communication, and a solid understanding of your role.

Entry Requirements: Level 50 (Dreamscape) or higher + Martial Arts Level Score of 9000+

How to Access: Main Menu → Wandering Path (then Queue in cooperative mode)

Resource Cost: Mental Energy

Why They Matter: Weekly rewards are reset-locked, meaning you can only claim them once per week. Miss this window, and you lose out on potential gear or materials for the entire week.

Rewards: Gear, Sets, Weapons, Materials, Notes, Cosmetics, Martial Arts Chests

Stronghold Completion Rewards – Accelerated Growth

What It Is: Open-area dungeons packed with enemies and bosses. These are your playgrounds for testing new builds and farming valuable drops.

Prerequisites: Complete the Main Story and related Side Missions first

How to Access: Accessed first in Solo Mode, then Queue in cooperative mode

Weekly Bonus: Reset-locked bonus rewards renew with server reset

Resource Cost: Mental Energy

Best For: Pushing your character’s growth while having freedom to experiment with different strategies. Unlike structured dungeons, you can approach encounters however you want.

Rewards: Gear, Sets, Weapons, Materials, Notes, Cosmetics, Martial Arts Chests

Sect Activities – Exclusive Perks & Currency

What It Is: Join a Sect to gain access to exclusive Martial Arts, cosmetics shop, and Sect Token rewards through daily and weekly completion.

How to Access: Main Menu → Sect Menu

Additional Benefits: Sect membership unlocks cosmetics and Martial Arts unavailable elsewhere, plus a dedicated shop with rotating inventory.

Resource Cost: Depends on the quest

Rewards: Gear, Sets, Weapons, Materials, Notes, Cosmetics, Martial Arts Chests

Weekly Battle Pass Quests – Seasonal Progression

What It Is: Seasonal challenges that reward you for completing specific objectives throughout the week.

How to Access: Main Menu → Battle Pass → Weekly Quests

Rewards: Oscillating Jade, Experience, Money, Resources

Why It’s Worth Your Time: Battle pass progression tends to have cosmetics and premium rewards locked behind these quests, so staying on top of them keeps you from falling behind.

Guild Weekly Quests – Team-Based Rewards

What It Is: Your guild posts weekly challenges that mirror the types of overworld and cooperative activities you’re already grinding.

How to Access: Main Menu → Guild Tab

Completion Process: After finishing a challenge, click the respective tab to claim rewards

Rewards: Money, Resources, Breakthrough Materials

Pro Tip: These often run parallel to other content you’re doing anyway, so completing them is essentially doubling down on loot from activities you’d be doing regardless.

Jade Shop Weekly Resets – Strategic Purchases

What It Is: The Jade Fish Shop rotates its inventory weekly, restocking Breakthrough Materials, support items, Martial Arts chests, and cosmetics.

How to Access: Main Menu → Shop → Offers → Exchange Shop

Buying Priority:

1. First: Breakthrough Materials (essential for leveling)
2. Second: Martial Arts Chests and support boxes
3. Third: Cosmetics (if you have leftover currency)

Smart Budgeting: Don’t hoard currency. Spend what you earned that week on items that directly boost your character. Cosmetics are fun, but they don’t increase your power level.

Rewards: Money, Resources, Breakthrough Materials, Cosmetics, Martial Arts Chests

Final Thoughts

The beauty of Where Winds Meet’s activity system is that it rewards consistency over grinding marathons. By hitting the daily and weekly checklist items, you’re progressing your character steadily without burning out. The key is being strategic about where you spend your Mental Energy and which reward priorities matter for your character’s goals.

Track your resets, plan your week around Monday’s server update, and you’ll find yourself pulling better gear, unlocking stronger skills, and building a character you actually enjoy playing. That’s what separates players who hit progression walls and those who keep pushing forward.

Now get out there and start farming.
