Where Winds Meet's friendship system lets you befriend AI NPCs via a simple chat box for gifts and progression, unlocked by spotting golden icons on "AI Jianghu Friends" or "Old Friends." This guide shares easy steps to access it, exploit the AI's simplicity with quick replies or bracketed successes, and build bonds fast without hassle.

How to easily Befriend NPCs

To access the chat box for texting NPCs to befriend them in Where Winds Meet's friendship system, look for golden icons above "AI Jianghu Friends" or "Old Friends" NPCs.

Follow the steps below to befriend NPCs with ease:

Step 1

Approach eligible NPCs marked with a golden chat icon—these support AI-driven conversations.​​

Step 2

Click or interact with the golden icon to open the special chatbox; it shows a summary of the NPC at the top, including preferences and emotional state.​

Step 3

Since the AI chat isn't very smart, so skip spending minutes convincing them. Simply keep replying with the last word of their sentences to befriend them eventually.

Step 4

You can also write successful responses in brackets to quickly befriend them. For example, with a lumberjack struggling to sell firewood, type "(Convinced him to sell firewood to me)" instead of persuading through dialogue—it works instantly.
