How to join the Training Terrace Preliminary Rooms
Step 1
Update your game to Version 1.8. The activity is only available after installing the latest patch released on June 25, 2026.
Step 2
Progress your character until you’ve unlocked the new Version 1.8 content. If the Training Terrace option is missing, complete any newly introduced prerequisite quests or tutorial prompts first.
Step 3
Open the Events or Activity menu and locate Training Terrace. Select the activity to view its available rooms.
Step 4
Choose Preliminary Room. If matchmaking is available, press Join to enter the queue. Once enough eligible players are found (or if solo entry is supported on your server), you’ll be transported into the instance.
Step 5
Complete the objectives inside the Preliminary Room to unlock access to the next stage of the activity.
Why you can’t join the Preliminary Rooms
If the Join button is unavailable or greyed out, check the following:
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Activity not visible | Update to Version 1.8 and finish required introduction quests. |
| Entry locked | Meet the required character level or progression milestone. |
| Event closed | Training Terrace may only be available during scheduled periods. |
| Matchmaking unavailable | Wait for matchmaking or try again during peak hours. |
| Server maintenance | Check official announcements for maintenance or temporary restrictions. |
Does the activity have level requirements?
While Everstone Studio has confirmed that Version 1.8 adds multiple endgame activities with level requirements—such as the Martial Path Domain, which requires Level 60—the developer has not yet published a separate official level requirement specifically for the Training Terrace Preliminary Rooms. If your character has not progressed through the latest story or activity unlocks, the mode may remain inaccessible until those conditions are met.
Rewards
Although the Preliminary Rooms are primarily an entry stage, completing the activity contributes toward Version 1.8 progression and event rewards. The exact reward pool depends on the current Training Terrace rotation and may include progression materials, event currency, or other seasonal rewards announced during the event period. Joining the Training Terrace Preliminary Rooms is straightforward once your character has met the unlock requirements. Update to Version 1.8, finish any required introductory content, open the Training Terrace activity from the event menu, and queue for the Preliminary Room. If you still can’t enter, the most common causes are unmet progression requirements or the activity not being active on your server yet.
FAQs
How do I unlock the Training Terrace Preliminary Rooms in Where Winds Meet?
First, update your game to Version 1.8, then complete any required introductory quests or progression milestones. Once unlocked, the Training Terrace activity will appear in the Event or Activity menu.
Why is the Join button missing or greyed out?
The Join button is usually unavailable because your character has not met the unlock requirements, the activity is not currently active, matchmaking is unavailable, or your game client has not been updated to Version 1.8.
Do I need to reach a certain level?
The developers have not announced a dedicated level requirement specifically for the Training Terrace Preliminary Rooms. However, you must meet the progression requirements needed to unlock the activity.
Can I enter the Preliminary Rooms solo?
This depends on the activity’s matchmaking settings. Some sessions may automatically match you with other players, while others may allow solo entry if supported.

Successfully clearing the Preliminary Room unlocks the next phase of the Training Terrace activity, allowing you to continue progressing through its challenges.
