Where Winds Meet: Mirage Boat Event Complete Guide (Fortune Points)

The Mirage Boat is one of the most unique social events in Where Winds Meet—a floating party where you can hang out with other players, compete in mini-games, and earn exclusive rewards based on how many Fortune Points you collect. Think of it as the game’s version of a luxury cruise ship, except it happens in-game every week and requires zero packing.

If you’ve seen that golden sparrow notification pop up on your screen and wondered what it’s all about, or if you’re trying to figure out the fastest way to hit 1000 Fortune Points, this guide breaks down everything you need to know about the Mirage Boat event.

What is the Mirage Boat Event in Where Winds Meet?

The Mirage Boat is a server-wide social event that takes place in multiplayer mode. Players gather on a luxurious boat to participate in various activities, earn Fortune Points, and claim rewards provided by the boat’s owner.

Event Schedule:

• Every Sunday evening
• Monday morning (before the daily reset)

The event typically runs for a set amount of time once you board, with a countdown timer visible on your screen. Your goal? Accumulate 1000 Fortune Points to unlock the maximum reward tier.

How to Unlock the Mirage Boat Event in Where Winds Meet

Before you can participate in the Mirage Boat event, you need to meet a couple of prerequisites:

Requirements:

1. Complete the Introductory Qinghe Quest (early story content)
2. Unlock the Kaifeng Region (progresses naturally through the story)
3. Set toward the Jianghu (part of main progression)

Once these are completed, you’ll start receiving Mirage Boat event notifications when it goes live. If you’re still working through early content, our guide on how to get to Kaifeng can help you progress faster.

How to Board the Mirage Boat in Where Winds Meet

When the event becomes active, you’ll receive an invitation notification on your screen. Here’s exactly how to join:

Step-by-step boarding process:

1. Look for the Golden Sparrow Icon in the upper left corner of your screen
2. Click the ‘Limited Time Event’ notification
3. A pop-up appears asking if you want to switch to Multiplayer Mode
4. Click ‘Yes’ to be teleported directly onto the Mirage Boat
5. A countdown timer appears showing how much time remains
6. Fortune Point collection begins automatically

You don’t need to manually travel anywhere—the game teleports you straight to the boat. Just make sure you’re not in the middle of combat or another activity when you accept the invitation.

How Fortune Points Work in Mirage Boat Event

Fortune Points are the currency that determines your reward tier during the Mirage Boat event. The more points you collect, the better your rewards.

Fortune Point Mechanics:

• Goal: Collect 1000 Fortune Points for full rewards
• Passive earning: Points accumulate automatically every 2 minutes while on board
• Active earning: Participate in activities to earn points much faster
• Rewards scale: Based on the boat owner’s investment in supplies

The passive earning rate is extremely slow—if you just stand around, you’ll barely hit 1000 points before the event ends. The real strategy is actively participating in the various mini-games and social activities scattered around the deck.

How to Get Fortune Points Fast in Where Winds Meet

Here’s where things get interesting. The Mirage Boat offers nine different activities, each rewarding different amounts of Fortune Points. Let me break down each one so you can maximize your point collection.

Optimal Fortune Point Strategy

If you want to hit 1000 points as fast as possible, here’s my recommended priority:

1. Start with Instruments in Chorus (+50) – highest value
2. Hit up Archery and Fireworks (+30 each) – quick completions
3. Queue for Mahjong or Madiao (+30/+20) – while waiting, do other activities
4. Watch Dancing Performance (+20) – passive points while resting
5. Wrestling Contest (+20) – if you enjoy combat mini-games
6. Fill downtime with Beauty Rest and Swing (+10 each)

This rotation should get you to 1000 points well before the event timer expires. For more tips on mini-games, check out our beginner tips and tricks guide.

How to Claim Mirage Boat Event Rewards

Once you’ve accumulated 1000 Fortune Points, claiming your rewards is straightforward:

Reward claiming process:

1. Click the Boat Icon in the upper right corner of your screen
2. Review available rewards (based on boat owner’s investment)
3. Claim your rewards directly from the menu
4. If you don’t claim before leaving, rewards are automatically sent to your in-game mail

The beauty of this system is that you won’t lose rewards if you forget to claim them manually—the game has your back.

Bonus Feature: Try On Boat Owner’s Outfit

From the reward menu, you can also try on the boat owner’s outfit at any time during the event. This is purely cosmetic and temporary—the outfit disappears once you leave the boat. It’s a fun way to preview fancy cosmetics without committing to a purchase.

How to Get the Mirage Boat Mount in Where Winds Meet

Here’s where things get expensive. The Mirage Boat is also a premium mount that players can purchase and deploy to start their own private Mirage Boat event.

Cost: 170 Mirage Torn Pages

How to obtain Mirage Torn Pages:

• Exchange Harmonic Cores at a rate of 1 Page per Core
• You’ll need 170 Harmonic Cores total
• This is one of the most expensive items in the game

To put this in perspective: 170 Harmonic Cores is a massive investment. Unless you’re a dedicated collector or whale, this mount is more of a long-term goal than an immediate purchase. For more affordable transportation options, check out our how to get a horse guide.

Why would you want the Mirage Boat mount?

• Start your own multiplayer events
• Show off premium status to your server
• Provide rewards to other players who join your event
• Exclusive prestige item

The boat owner controls the reward pool by investing in supplies, so owning the mount means you’re essentially hosting the party and determining how generous the rewards will be for attendees.

Tips for Mirage Boat Event Success

Based on my experience with this event, here are some helpful tips:

• Join early when the event starts to maximize your time
• Prioritize high-point activities first (Instruments, Archery, Fireworks)
• Queue for table games early since they require other players
• Don’t just AFK—passive point gain is way too slow
• Coordinate with friends for activities that require multiple players
• Check the timer regularly to ensure you hit 1000 points before it ends
• Try the boat owner’s outfit for fun screenshots

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Mirage Boat Event

The Mirage Boat is easily one of the most enjoyable social events in Where Winds Meet. It’s a refreshing break from combat and questing, offering a space where players can just hang out, compete in mini-games, and earn solid rewards without the pressure of difficult boss fights or complex puzzles.

The Fortune Point system is well-designed—passive earning ensures casual participation works, but active players who engage with all the activities can max out rewards quickly. The variety of mini-games keeps things interesting, from musical performances to card games to archery contests.

As for the Mirage Boat mount itself? It’s undeniably cool, but that 170 Harmonic Core price tag is steep. Unless you’re already sitting on a mountain of cores or plan to whale hard, this mount is more of a prestige flex than a practical purchase.

My recommendation: participate in the event every week for easy rewards, focus on high-point activities to hit 1000 Fortune Points fast, and only consider buying the mount if you’re serious about hosting your own events and have cores to spare.
