What Wandering Tales mean in Where Winds Meet

Wandering tales are usually hidden or unmarked on your main map — you often need to discover them by exploring the world, listening to NPCs, or triggering events.

They reward exploration currency (like Exploration points)Echo JadeCoins, and EXP, making them worthwhile for leveling and progress.

Some are simple fetch-quests, others involve puzzles, stealth, or mini-games — this variety makes them fun side activities or breaks from the main storyline.

How do Wandering Tales work

Wandering Tales are collectible lore encounters scattered across the WWM open world. They act like micro-story quests that reward exploration rather than combat or progression gates. When you approach a Wandering Tale trigger, the UI shows a prompt (often after interacting with an object, spirit trace, inscription, abandoned gear, or scenic memory point). Activating it plays out a short narrative sequence—through text, voiced lines, or visual flashbacks—revealing hidden history about regions, sects, or forgotten figures.

Typical wandering tales progression
  • Find a trigger in the world.
  • Interact to activate the tale.
  • Watch/read the short story sequence.
  • Collect rewards instantly.
  • Entry saves to your Tales Codex/Archive.
  • Some unlock exploration or NPC branches.
  • Completion boosts exploration progress.
