As players engage with the social and sect systems in Where Winds Meet, red notices and recruitment messages frequently appear in chat. While some are legitimate, many are intentionally deceptive. These misleading messages, commonly called Red Fake Letters or Fake Recruitment, are primarily tied to sect mechanics rather than rewards.
Purpose of Red Fake Letter
Red Fake Letters exist almost entirely to generate Trick Points for sect progression. They are most commonly used by members of the Nine Mortal Ways sect, known for their trickery. Trick Points directly contribute to increasing sect virtue, which in turn supports sect rank advancement.
Each successful interaction provides only a small amount of progression, which is why these fake notices are often sent repeatedly or in large volumes. The low individual gain encourages mass posting rather than meaningful interaction, leading to frequent chat clutter.
How Red Fake Letters work
Red Fake Letters operate through simple, player-driven interactions. A Nine Mortals Sect member posts a message that mimics a legitimate red envelope or recruitment notice. Other players interact with the message under the assumption that it will provide rewards or useful opportunities.

Once interacted with, the sender receives Trick Points that count toward sect virtue progression. The player who clicked the message typically receives no benefit. Because this interaction favors the sender almost exclusively, the system is widely viewed as an annoyance rather than a rewarding feature.
How to identify a Red Fake Letter
Identifying a Red Fake Letter largely comes down to checking the details of the message. The most reliable indicator is the sender’s sect, as the majority of fake notices originate from the Nine Mortals Ways sect. Messages that are vague, repeatedly posted, or lack specific details are also strong warning signs.
During periods of heavy chat activity, fake notices are often mixed in with legitimate announcements, making them easier to miss at a glance. Taking a moment to verify the sender before interacting is the most effective way to avoid being tricked.
