NetEase’s Where Winds Meet, the free-to-play Wuxia open-world action RPG that launched globally on November 14, 2025, for PC and PS5, has captivated millions with its Sekiro-inspired parry combat, seamless solo-to-multiplayer shifts, and a vast Jianghu brimming with sects, skill thefts, and traversal feats like wall-running and gliding. Amid over 2 million Steam concurrents, new players often waste hours grinding undergeared, missing permanent power spikes that pros exploit early. This guide delivers a <5-hour blueprint in Qinghe region: Qi Sheng freebies, skill thefts, oddities, and talents for OP sustain, mobility, and DPS – no endless farms, just smart plays for Lv30 readiness.
