What are exploration quests
In Where Winds Meet (WWM), Exploration Quests are optional world-discovery missions that reward curiosity, map interaction, NPC relationships, and environmental puzzles rather than main-story progress.
How exploration quests work in Where Winds Meet
- Not part of the critical path — you find them by roaming, revisiting landmarks, or talking to NPCs after meeting conditions.
- Triggered by discovery — interacting with unusual objects, rumor spots, inscriptions, shrines, supply caches, view points, spirit traces, antiques, or NPC dialogue branches.
- Quest-log based — unlike Wandering Tales (instant codex entries), these stay in your quest log until completed.
- Region-focused rewards — reputation, currencies, XP, crafting access, merchant perks, cosmetics (titles/avatars), map intel, or unlocks like sect interactions or resource tools.
- Dynamic world dependency — some only appear at certain times of day, weather, or after NPC trust/story flags.
- Encourage backtracking — many zones change subtly after updates or story beats, revealing new quest triggers.
