What to know
- Clear 7 enemies at Mercy Heart Monastery outpost repeatedly by teleporting out and back in, ignoring the flower destruction objective.
- Use stealth assassinations, barrels, or bows for quick kills to maximize gear drops and mats like ointments.
- Beauty in the Shade quest unlocks a dense enemy area at Aureate Pavilion for 12-15 gear pieces per run, repeatable by exiting and re-entering.
- Pavilion outpost provides the fastest farm using fire arrows on barrels, but requires speed to avoid detection.
You can farm gear endlessly in Where Winds Meet without energy by exploiting repeatable outpost clears and partial quests, focusing on early-game spots like Mercy Heart Monastery in Qinghe region’s Sundara Land. These methods stack drops for tuning materials and gear pieces, helping you hit caps quickly.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Primary Spot | Mercy Heart Monastery (north of boundary stone, Qinghe) |
| Enemies per Run | 7 basic foes + potential elites |
| Reset Method | Teleport to boundary stone, then return (avoid full clears like bosses if needed) |
| Avg. Gear Yield | 10–15 gear pieces per run until daily cap |
| Best For | Early materials, ointments, money bags |
Key locations center on Qinghe: Mercy Heart Monastery for simple loops, Flower Expanse near Blissful Retreat to start Beauty in the Shade (leading to Tiger Fort, Grove Outpost, Buddha Fort, then Aureate Pavilion), and an unnamed pavilion outpost for explosive barrel speedruns.
How to farm at Mercy Heart Monastery
This is the go-to zero-energy spot due to its deturaflower objective, which you ignore for infinite resets.
Quick entry
Head north from the boundary stone in Sundara Land, Qinghe—enter as infiltrator or healer if prompted.
Combat tips
- Assassinate from behind or triple jump for instants.
- Shoot barrels to kill clusters of 2-3.
- Use bows for ranged picks without alerting.
Reset loop
Teleport out after killing all 7, then re-enter—the outpost respawns fully.
| Run Step | Action | Yield |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Assassinate 4–5 stealth kills | Gear mats, coins |
| 2 | Barrel/bow remaining 2 | Ointments, bags |
| 3 | Teleport reset | Repeat for cap |
How to unlock and farm Beauty in the Shade
Start this exploration quest for access to a packed Aureate Pavilion instance with 50+ enemies.
Step 1: Trigger quest
Spawn at Blissful Retreat, head to Flower Expanse flower fields toward mountains—find two NPCs chatting (light on ground), interact. Pick up flower earring nearby, then wagon for letter.
Step 2: Partial clear outposts
Clear enemies (no chests needed) at:
- Tiger Fort
- Grove Outpost
- Buddha Fort
Return to wagon for transport to pavilion—grab one-time chests if desired.
Step 3: Farm enemies
Clear ~50 mobs wrapping right from start, avoiding next objective (talking NPC far left). Exit instance (kicks you out), re-select quest via menu to reset.
| Rewards Table | Item | Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gear Pieces | 12–15 Legendary/Common | Enemy drops | RNG-based; recycle for tuning |
| Mats | Ointments, Ebon | Mobs | Daily cap applies |
| Chests | Materials (6 total) | One-time | Non-repeatable |
| Gold Bags | Coins | Elites | Stacks with oddity system |
How to speed farm pavilion outpost
For 5-7 minute cap hits, stock 20-100 fire arrows.
Step 1
Enter pavilion, wait for patrolling enemy to pass hut.
Step 2
Shoot explosive barrel to kill cluster, loot fast before others spot.
Step 3
Jump up, reset via air or leave/re-enter—repeat until no drops. Avoid killing extras or you’ll lock reset temporarily.
Maximize your gear progression
Combine these daily: Start with Beauty in the Shade for volume, loop Mercy Heart for ease, end at pavilion for speed—buy shop tuning packs with earned coins for legendaries. Energy stays for official outposts/bosses targeting specific sets.
Master these loops to bypass energy walls, tuning gear fast toward 20k mastery while devs tweak economies.
