How to Build a House in Where Winds Meet

Building your first house in Where Winds Meet starts with unlocking Construction Mode through the "One Last Job" quest, which hands over starter materials and a hands-on tutorial. From there, dive into Solo World to build freely using the Construction Mode or place blueprints like the Low-Level Inn, auto-complete material checks, craft materials, and piece it together step by step.

How to unlock Construction Mode

To unlock Construction Mode, complete the Building: One Last Job Exploration Quest—it serves as your building tutorial and activates the feature. Finishing the quest also grants a generous bundle of starter materials so you can begin building without any early grinding.

Key requirements:

• You must reach around level 25 to unlock the building feature.
• Look for the “Building: One Last Job” quest in your Exploration → Quest menu.
• This quest sends you to Halo Peak and to speak with an NPC named Yang Yuan.
• You’ll collect items (like Pebbles) and craft a Stone Pagoda Piece to kickstart the building lesson.
• Once done, you’ll unlock the construction mode and building mechanics.

How to farm materials effectively

Player Housing vs Open-World Building

Player Housing (Rental)

• After you unlock Kaifeng City in the main story, you can rent a home inside the city.
• Visit the vendor on Southern Gate Avenue to choose from apartments, small houses, or mansions (with monthly Commerce Coin rent).
• These rented homes serve as private spaces with decorative building features inside them.

Open-World Building

• Use construction mode anywhere appropriate to build structures and your custom house with full freedom.
• This mode supports placing structural pieces and furniture directly in the world.

Tips for Building Fast

• Choose a good spot near fast travel or important NPCs.
• Farm materials in advance (timber/stone).
• Use auto-complete in the build menu to spend materials for quick placement.
• Save blueprints to reuse builds anywhere.
