How to Unlock Weapon Martial Arts in Where Winds Meet

Most martial arts demand either sneaky Skill Theft from hidden masters or pledging to a Sect for instant access—automatic unlocks handle the basics early on. Skill Theft shines for that rogue thrill: prep with Mystic Arts like Touch of Death and Veil of Stillness, slip into a sanctum (grab Dragon Keys for locked doors), dodge guards, and hit interact when the gold ring pops up to fill the progress bar. Sects are straightforward loyalty swaps—you can leave anytime via Perception Forest, then jump to another.
Pro tip: Submit your first Oddity to Qi Sheng for a free pick from Panacea Fan, Thundercry Blade, Infernal Twinblades, or Vernal Umbrella—huge early-game boost when heals are scarce.
All Weapon Martial Arts Unlock Methods
Here’s every martial art broken down with unlock paths. Prioritize based on your playstyle—mix Nameless basics with Sect steals for versatile early combos.
- Nameless Sword: Starts automatically—fast slashes and mobility make it your go-to for quick melee opens. Pairs perfectly with Nameless Spear for beginner dominance.
- Nameless Spear: Auto-unlocks early too, emphasizing agile thrusts to poke while dodging. Baseline duo crushes initial foes without extra effort.
- Panacea Fan: Top early healer for co-op or solo survival—area heals and self-restores save the day. Grab via Qi Sheng’s Oddity choice or Silver Needle Sect join.
- Thundercry Blade: Heavy sword powerhouse with 25% HP shields and enemy-pulling AOE slams. Options: Qi Sheng pick, Well of Heaven Martial Camp infiltration in Moonveil Mountains (Kaifeng path), or Well of Heaven Sect.
- Infernal Twinblades: Aggro frenzy with Karmic Flame meter for crit spikes. Qi Sheng, Midnight Mercy Sanctum steal in Qinghe, or Midnight Blades Sect.
- Stormbreaker Spear: Tank special—taunt, absorb, crowd control. Silver Needle Sanctum theft or Raging Tides Sect.
- Strategic Sword: Bleed-tactical upgrade over Nameless. Lone Cloud Sanctum near Encircling Lake (southern Qinghe) or Lone Cloud Sect. Watch for the gold ring during master demos.
- Heavenquaker Spear: Sweeping spins and bleeds for drama. Raging Tides Sanctum steal or same Sect. Check our Heavenquaker Spear build.
- Soulshade Umbrella: Support star with healing turrets and homing aids—co-op essential. Hidden ladder in Kaifeng village west of Mistveil Forest or Hollow Vale Sect.
- Vernal Umbrella: Ranged crowd control with immobilize, turrets, and swaps. Qi Sheng or Temporal Pavilion quest in Kaifeng—collect 5 clues (cat, women pairs, guard) for warehouse key. Also Velvet Shade Sect.
- Inkwell Fan: Wind blasts and air juggles, umbrella synergy. Floral Expanse Beyond sanctum (northern Qinghe) or Silver Needle Sect.
- Mortal Rope Dart: Pulls, flings, rat summons. Nine Mortal Ways Hall in Kaifeng—disguise craft via Wuyan at Lin’s Cosmetics, bypass guard. Or Nine Mortal Ways Sect. See unlock guide.
Stealth feels rewarding but risky—save before Sanctums. Sect hops expand options fast; explore all sects guide.
