What to know
- Tiny Gourd is an antique found in the Lost Crossing area of Hexi.
- You must use the Celestial Seize ability on the merchant Tang Qi to obtain it.
- The antique will not count until you trigger its backstory.
- Interact with a shelf inside a nearby boat-building structure to register it.
Tiny Gourd is one of the collectibles tied to the Lost Crossing Antique set in Where Winds Meet. Like several other antiques in the region, obtaining it involves a mix of stealth mechanics and exploration. While stealing the item from Tang Qi gives you the object itself, the antique will not officially count toward your collection until you activate its lore by interacting with a specific shelf inside a nearby building.
Understanding both steps is important because many players mistakenly believe the antique is bugged when it does not immediately register after stealing it.

Location of Tiny Gourd antique in Where Winds Meet
The Tiny Gourd antique is located in the Lost Crossing section of the Hexi: Jade Gate Pass region. The nearest fast travel point is the Karez boundary stone, which makes reaching the area relatively quick.
From the Karez landmark, you will find a merchant named Tang Qi standing around the Lost Crossing marketplace area. This NPC carries the Tiny Gourd, but you cannot obtain it through normal interaction or purchase. Instead, you must use the Celestial Seize technique to steal the item directly from him.
Once you successfully steal the item, you must head toward a large boat-building structure located nearby in the same settlement. Inside this building, there is a shelf you can interact with. This interaction reveals the antique’s story and officially registers it in the Lost Crossing antique collection.
How to get and complete Tiny Gourd antique in Where Winds Meet
Step 1
Travel to the Hexi: Jade Gate Pass region and fast travel to the Karez boundary stone. This is the closest landmark to the Lost Crossing settlement where the antique can be found.
Step 2
Move toward the Lost Crossing market area and locate the merchant NPC named Tang Qi. He usually stands near the trading area within the settlement.
Step 3
Activate the Celestial Seize ability and target Tang Qi. This ability allows you to stealthily steal items from NPCs without initiating combat.
Step 4
Use Celestial Seize on Tang Qi to steal the Tiny Gourd antique from him. After a successful steal, the item will appear in your inventory.
Step 5
Head toward the large wooden boat-building structure located nearby within Lost Crossing. This building is easy to recognize because of the construction materials and large wooden frames.

Why the tiny gourd might not register at first
Many players obtain the Tiny Gourd through Celestial Seize but notice that it does not immediately appear in the antique progress list. This happens because the game requires you to trigger the item’s historical lore.
The shelf interaction inside the boat-building structure serves as the lore trigger. Once you activate it, the antique becomes fully registered in the Lost Crossing antique set.
If you skip this step, the game treats the item as an unverified collectible rather than a completed antique.
Completing the lost crossing antique collection
Tiny Gourd is one of several antiques scattered throughout Lost Crossing in the Hexi region. Each antique requires a slightly different method of acquisition. Some are found through exploration, others through combat encounters, and a few—like Tiny Gourd—require stealth abilities.
Completing the entire set contributes to exploration progress in Hexi and provides additional lore related to the region’s history and characters.
