In the immersive Wuxia world of Where Winds Meet, developed by Everstone Studio, a feverish hunt is underway for “antiques” – hidden collectibles scattered across sub-regions that promise exclusive rewards. These aren’t mere trinkets; completing sets unlocks Concealed Edges, transforming low-level weapons into permanent cosmetic backpieces, alongside masks, achievements, and exploration milestones. As the game surges past 250,000 peak players on Steam amid its global rollout, forums and X buzz with tales of missed spawns and puzzle triumphs.

Antiques blend lore, puzzles, and platforming into the game’s fluid parry-combo combat. Found in chests, behind breakable floors, or post-boss, they register retroactively via “Traces of the Past” – narrative threads unlocked by reading clues or fulfilling item hints. Players filter their bag to “Traceable” for incomplete sets, boosting sub-region exploration from 80% to 100%. Recycle by mistake? Reclaim for 500 coins at the Incense Burner on Halo Peak, activated by Qinghe Memories (Qinghe Exploration Lv. 6 reward).

The crown jewel: Concealed Edges, one per major Qinghe region (Verdant Wilds, Sundara Land, Moonveil Mountain). Collect all antiques in a region’s sub-areas, then visit storyteller Qingxuan at Halo Peak for the edge. Apply to a Lv. 31 sword or spear (cheap from Season Shop jade fish chests) for dual-weapon back cosmetics – a subtle flex visible in raids and PvP. No stats, pure prestige; 24-hour cooldown on reverts via breakthroughs.

Verdant Wilds demands four sub-collections:

Sub-Region
Key Antiques & Locations

Bamboo Abode
Ritual Crown (chest in main area); Old Spear (objective marker); Echoes in Shrine (statue climb post-quest).

General Shrine
Bus Skins of Loyalty (top stairs chest); Lee Yan’s Final Words (Northern Vow Ruins table post-puzzles).

Battlecrest Slope
Specific chests post-enemy clears (details via Incense).

Stonewash Strand
Artisan Bracers (landmark shack chest; shared with Blissful Retreat house).

Sundara Land’s trio: Bodhi Sea (E1 Shan’s Dagger, tower table); Mercy Heart Monastery (Imperial Jade Hook, wolf post-outpost; Dull Edge Blade, NPC corpse post-“Silent Assassin”); Halo Peak (monk interactions).

Moonveil Mountain overflows with ~16 sub-areas, but Blissful Retreat’s seven dominate: Old Bracers (story wine cellar); Willow Leaf Blade (drawers + campsite); Cicada Armor (house exit + river jar); Colorful Longevity Thread (peninsula tree); Crescent Ring (clinic well); Lovesick Handkerchief (ambushed house + 6 clues via elder bell ringer dialogues); Artisan Bracers. Puzzles abound – statues, buttons, ghost eavesdropping.

Later zones like Palace of Annals (Engraved Bow, Dusty Thumb Ring, Well-Kept Promise Letter, boss plaque), Crimson Cliff (Lunar Bracers via statue sequences; divine craft dungeon), and Gleaming Abyss (Silver Longevity Lock, Tank Palace Hair Pin, Elegant Letter) offer bonus completions sans edges, aiding overall Qinghe progress.

Beyond antiques, “secret items” fuel the grind:

Phantom Thief Mask: Triple wins as jailbreaker in co-op “Response to Every Prisoner” – escort through labyrinth vs. PvP teams; queue full squad with healer.
Silver Fangs Mask: “Shu” hour Wolf Maiden in Desolation Ridge; buy “useless log” from Ghost Light Market, interact cave.
Classic Axe (Cigarette Extension): Secret Edict Chamber via Old Village Ruins/Jade Mirror Pond; clear camps, ladders, gaps for chests + “Privateer of Loot” achievement.

Free unlocks abound via quests and sects:
