🤯 BT9 LEGENDARIES DROUGHT? I FARMED 7 GOLDS IN 680 ENERGY—WHILE PUGS WIPED 50X IN SWORD TRIALS FOR ZERO! 😤
Breakthrough 9 unlocked god-roll Hawkwing sets in Where Winds Meet, but 90% of players are torching energy on faceroll Sword Trials queues, getting trash purples and rage-quitting after hours of donkey hell. “0 legendaries from 36 chests—RNG is BRUTAL!” Reddit screams.
EASIEST FIX? Solo campaign bosses spitting 12%+ golds—target Void King for chests/hands, NO pugs needed. One loop crushes trials 4x faster. Whales hiding this?

Where Winds Meet, the wuxia sensation from Everstone Studio and NetEase Games, has players hooked on Breakthrough 9 (BT9)—a game-changer unlocking level 70 caps, tier 4 mystic skills, and long-awaited Legendary (gold) gear. Since the global launch on November 14 for PC and PS5, with mobile cross-play added December 12, the title has drawn 15 million players into its parry-focused Souls-like combat across 10th-century China. BT9, rolled out in the Timeless Bonds patch, introduces gold gear with guaranteed purple minimums, extra tuning slots, and 100+ mastery per piece—essential for pushing past 1,800 mastery and melting raids like Hero’s Realm.
But farming these powerhouses? A battlefield of frustration. Sword Trials—new 10-man instances with bosses like Sleeping Daoist and Murong Yuan—promise golden chests, yet player reports paint a grim picture: zero legendaries from dozens of runs, thanks to uncoordinated pugs ignoring mechanics like vine prisons, donkey transformations, and barrel explosions. “18 golden chests, 0 legendaries,” one YouTuber blasted after 180 energy, calling it “unreliable RNG hell.” Reddit echoes the pain: “36 chests, one leg” or “480 energy for three—two useless.”
Enter the easy path: solo campaign challenge bosses, hailed across guides as the undisputed king. Videos like P4wnyhof’s “Easy Legendaries with Breakthrough 9” (35K views) and drop tests prove it: 680 energy on campaigns yielded seven golds, versus zilch from Sword Trials. Target specific bosses for sets—Void King/Heartseeker for Hawkwing chest/hands (sword/spear/umbrella meta), Gleaming Abyss for more Hawkwing, Palace of Annals for Jadewire, Blissful Retreat for Swallow Call. Triple energy claims (60 each) net 1-2 golds consistently; 600 energy often bags eight (12-13% rate). “Campaign > Sword Trials 4x,” creators agree, thanks to solo control and set targeting.
No-energy loops amplify efficiency. AKingsCreation’s “FULL GUIDE* NEW LEGENDARY GEAR FARM LOOP” spotlights Mercyheart Monastery and Tiger Fort: Kill mini-bosses, reset via jumps/lightning skills, loot infinitely for Ebon Iron (tier 4 mystics), raw ores, and recyclable gear. Pair with joint battles (lv1-6) for level 65 drops hitting daily caps in two runs. Still Shores world bosses (River Master, Feng Ruzhi) shine too: 320 energy for four legendaries via wandering paths.
Season shop offers guarantees: Jade Fishies (bounties/vendettas) buy tier 61 chests—first free, second 10K Fishies—but RNG bites (10 chests, zero golds in tests). Prioritize Inner Ways notes, mystic tips first. Hero’s Realm (Twin Lions) rewards supreme chests weekly; guilds snag 6-10. Crafting bows/rings (3% legendaries) via holy hawk plants (multiplayer 5-min respawns) and Nether merchants supplements.
Tuning gold gear? Slam attunement stones (arena for PvP overkill) for purple+ guarantees—no epic cores needed. Divine Craft to +4 (+1% damage), breakthrough mystics (Dragon’s Breath: 40% mitigation; Drunken Poet: tenacity). Baji’s Music of Benevolence passive adds 20% gear from boxes. Buffs like Lucky Noodles/Chicken Soup boost drops; stamina pills for BT10 prep (14 days out).
