What to know
- Earn 5 Path Trial attempts weekly on Sunday reset, storing up to 10, consumed only on successful clears.
- First clears per path grant Inner Way notes (purple, golden) meltable into Vintage Book Plates for your main build.
- Limited Path Challenges run 2 weeks; aim for 35 stars via Chapter 8 on one path plus Chapter 1 on three paths.
- Legacy Exchange shop uses trial points for Mystic Skill breakthroughs, resetting weekly.
You step into Path Trials expecting familiar combat like Foundation Trials, but with smarter attempt management and bigger progression payoffs. These trials test your builds across paths, rewarding smart routing during the ongoing event.
How attempts and clears work for Path Trials in WWM
You get 5 attempts per week, and they refresh every Sunday at reset. Only successful clears consume an attempt—you can fail, quit, or restart a chapter as many times as you want without penalty.
This setup encourages experimentation. You’re free to test builds, learn enemy patterns, or practice special conditions before committing to a clear. Once you’ve cleared a chapter, you can replay it freely at no cost, which is useful for practice but doesn’t grant additional first-clear rewards.
Each chapter includes simple special conditions—for example, landing airborne knockouts on enemies like Silkbine Jade. These conditions scale naturally as chapters progress and directly tie into earning stars, which are essential for rewards.
The key takeaway: attempts are only spent on first-time clears, so plan them carefully.
Maximizing Path Trial rewards
The Path Challenges event runs for two weeks, making attempt management critical. With limited weekly attempts, you want to prioritize first clears that generate stars and Inner Way notes.
Optimal clear strategy
- Push your main path up to Chapter 8 for 8 clears.
- Clear Chapter 1 on two additional paths.
- This route earns you 35 stars, which is enough to unlock all event rewards, including 10 Ebon Iron.
Each chapter can award up to 3 stars by completing its conditions. If you can’t reach the full 35 stars, hitting 30 stars still unlocks most of the high-value rewards, making it a solid fallback goal.
Smart attempt usage
- Spread early clears across multiple paths to unlock multi-path star milestones sooner.
- Avoid replaying already-cleared chapters during the event unless you’re practicing—replays don’t consume attempts but also don’t progress rewards.
- Focus attempts on chapters you’re confident you can fully star to avoid wasting clears.
Best Path Trial runs tips
- Access Path Trials via the event tab; select your strongest build and preview enemy traits.
- Start with Chapter 1 on three paths (your main plus two alts) for multi-path points; use smart fill for gear if needed.
- Push main path to Chapter 8, clearing each with 3 stars—ignore failures, as they don't cost attempts.
- Claim first-clear rewards per chapter (e.g., 10 purple notes, 510 Echo Jade total per path) and Path Challenge progress.
- Spend Legacy points (earned per clear) in the exchange: prioritize Mystic Skill boxes, then notes; cap at 600 Uncut Jade.
