What to know

In Where Winds Meet, sects play a major role in shaping how your character grows. Each sect functions like a faction, with its own rules, reputation system, and rewards. Knowing where to check your Sect Status helps you track progress and plan your next steps.
How to check sect status from the main menu
Step 1: Open the main game menu
Pause the game to bring up the main interface. This is where character, inventory, and progression systems are accessed.

Step 2: Select the Sects option
Look for a menu option labeled Sects or Factions. This usually appears once you have officially joined a sect through the story.

Step 3: Review your sect details
Inside the Sects screen, you can see your current sect, reputation score, rank title, and a progress bar showing how close you are to the next tier.

Step 4: Check unlocked benefits
Scroll through the same screen to view perks, items, or services unlocked at your current rank, along with previews of upcoming rewards.

Checking sect status through NPC interactions
After joining a sect, certain elder or authority NPCs associated with that faction can also reflect your standing. When you speak with them, dialogue options or quest availability often change based on your current rank. This acts as a secondary confirmation of your Sect Status, especially if you want narrative feedback rather than menu details.
What affects your sect reputation
Sect Status is tied directly to reputation. You increase it by completing sect-specific tasks, trials, and commands that align with the faction’s rules. Ignoring duties or breaking sect principles can slow progress or reduce standing, making it important to stay consistent with the sect you’ve chosen.

Sect status in progression
Checking your Sect Status in Where Winds Meet is straightforward once the system unlocks. Use the Sects menu for a full breakdown of your rank and progress, and pay attention to NPC interactions for additional context. Keeping an eye on this screen ensures you never miss out on rewards or advancement opportunities.
