😱 STUCK AT BREAKTHROUGH 9 WITH NO RARE MATERIALS? THIS INSANE FARM HACK UNLOCKS ALL HUGE UPGRADES IN HOURS—NO ENERGY WASTED! 💥

Picture this: You’re grinding Sword Trials for Ebon Iron, but after 50 runs, you’ve got ZERO level 3 shards and your Mystic Arts are gathering dust. Meanwhile, whales are flexing 13k mastery, god-tier Legendaries, and BT10-ready builds while you’re wiping on basic bosses. Reddit’s exploding with rage: “Best farm for Attunement Stones? I’m capped and broke!”

But devs hid the ULTIMATE loophole: Infinite gold/material loops in Mist Forest outposts that spit 100+ raw ores, Ebon Iron, and Mystic Shards per hour—ZERO energy cost. Combine with noodle buffs and joint battles for 2x drops. I went from 11k to 13k mastery overnight.

In the dynamic wuxia realm of Where Winds Meet, where martial prowess and gear define survival amid ancient China’s turbulent landscapes, endgame progression hinges on rare materials for breakthroughs and upgrades. With Breakthrough 9 (BT9) unlocking level 70 caps and BT10 looming in early 2026, players are scrambling for Ebon Iron, Attunement Stones, Mystic Shards, and Oscillating Jade to max Mystic Arts, Inner Ways, and Legendary gear. Developed by Everstone Studio and published by NetEase, the game—now boasting 15 million players since its November 14 global launch—rewards smart farming over brute grinding, but inefficient methods have left many stuck at power plateaus.

The core challenge? Rare materials drop sporadically, with rates as low as 3-5% in standard runs, demanding targeted farms. Ebon Iron (for Mystic breakthroughs) tiers from Level 1 (basic upgrades) to Level 3 (Tier 3 Arts), Attunement Stones tune gear affixes, Mystic Shards boost skill tiers, and Oscillating Jade enhances weapon/armor slots. Recent December updates, including Timeless Bonds and anniversary events, boosted drop pools in Roaring Sands and new Hero’s Realms, but community forums like Reddit’s r/WhereWindsMeet_ highlight bottlenecks: “How to farm Ebon Iron fast? I’m at BT9 with nothing.”

Ultimate guides converge on hybrid strategies blending zero-energy exploits, energy-efficient bosses, and buffs for maximum yield. Top creator AKingsCreation’s “Get ALL HUGE Upgrades & Rare Materials EASY” video (over 100k views) champions the “elevator technique” in Mist Forest outposts: Build a wood pillar, glide down to reset spawns, and Dragon’s Breath barrels for instant 4-kills. Each cycle (5-8 seconds) yields gold, materials, and gear—infinitely, no cooldown. “Hit daily caps in 4-5 runs,” players report, netting 100+ raw ores and Ebon Iron chunks hourly.

For Ebon Iron specifically, Joint Battles (multiplayer outposts) shine with boosted rates: Level 5+ difficulties drop Level 2-3 ores (up to 5 per clear), while Solo Mode caps at basics. Switch shards via mode toggles to avoid crowds. Ulfhednar’s guide adds: Eat “Lucky Noodles” for +20% gathering buffs, then mine in high-density spots like Qinghe quarries (respawn every 5 minutes in Online Mode). Drop rates? 10-15% per node, scaling to 30% with buffs.

Attunement Stones demand precision: Sword Trials offer 3% Legendary chances in Path Chests, but campaign bosses (Void King, Gleaming Abyss) in co-op hit 12-13% for targeted sets. “Campaign > Trials,” consensus holds—600 energy yields 8 Legendaries. For free farms, season shops trade Jade Fishies (20k weekly cap) for stones, while armories recycle dupes.

Mystic Shards and Oscillating Jade? Food stalls in Kaifeng provide daily buffs (+gathering), marking resource hotspots on maps. Hunt in expedition mode for endless spawns: Mushrooms drop Toxic Essence (for shards), ores yield jade. Reddit tip: “Build a farming tower in outposts—respawn soldiers before 27/27 kills, queue co-op to reset.” This nets hundreds accidentally.

Breakthrough prep accelerates everything. Before BT9, max Inner Ways (equip yellows for temp power spikes, unequip post-upgrade) and Mystic Arts (use higher-grade Ebon to supplement). Steam guides stress daily checklists: Spend Mental Energy on strongholds, buy vendor-limited items (15 raw ores daily), complete Pitch-Pot for quick XP. Post-BT9, focus 2-3 gear slots—salvage trash for tuning materials.

Community shares success: “From 11k to 13k mastery in days,” one player boasts, crediting joint battles and noodle buffs. X threads from @iron_ulfhednar hype “insane farms” like Kayfang outpost loops for gold/materials. NetEase’s roadmap teases BT10 with new zones, but warns exploits may nerf—farm now.
