Bounties form one of the most reliable repeatable systems in Where Winds Meet, letting you progress, earn currency, and unlock exclusive looks just by playing the game. Whether you enjoy combat, tracking, or social encounters, bounties give you structured objectives with clear payouts.
What are bounties
Bounties are mission-style tasks that challenge you to hunt specific targets, resolve disputes, cure ailments, participate in social events, or assist other players.
Once accepted, you must complete the objective under the listed conditions to earn rewards, including the valuable Fourfold Coins. Note that when you reach the correct bounty location or area, you get a prompt to "Start Bounty."
Bounties scale in difficulty and variety, making them suitable for all playstyles. Bounties recommend the skills and weapons you may need to complete the objective successfully, on the left-hand side status bar.
Different types of bounties in Where Winds Meet
The bounty board displays several categories, each offering a different gameplay focus:
Combat - Vendetta
These involve defeating a specific player or NPC target. They're straightforward combat missions suited to fighters who enjoy direct confrontation.
Combat - Bounty Hunting
Similar to Vendettas, but focused on tracking and eliminating more evasive or dangerous targets. These often require movement skills, patience, and strong dueling ability.
Profession Bounties
These revolve around resolving illnesses, investigating claims, or clearing up false accusations. Profession bounties emphasize role-play and decision-making rather than pure combat.
Trials
Trials are challenge-style bounties designed to test your combat skill, timing, and mastery of your build. These often involve defeating waves, clearing an arena, or completing a fight under special conditions. Trials reward steady Fourfold Coins and Acclaim, and they’re perfect if you prefer structured combat scenarios over open-world hunts.
Fellowship Tasks
These require teamwork, asking you to join cooperative events to earn Adventure Slips and Fourfold Coins. Helpful for players who enjoy group content.
Fourfold Coins and why they matter
Fourfold Coins are the exclusive currency rewarded from bounty completion. They are essential because:
- They are the only currency used in the Bounty Shop.
- The shop contains unique cosmetics, outfits (such as Traveler’s Path), dyes, and special decorative items.
- Some high-tier items require not only coins but also a specific level of Fourfold Acclaim, earned by consistently completing bounties.
- Since coins are capped weekly, completing bounties regularly ensures steady progression toward the items you want.
Who gives these bounties
Bounties come from the Jianghu Bounty system, accessible from your menu. When you open the Jianghu Bounty screen, you’ll see tasks posted by:
- The game’s automated bounty system
- NPCs across the world
- Other players posting targets or assistance requests
You simply browse the bounty list, choose a mission, and start the objective.
How to approach bounties effectively
- Complete your weekly quota early to avoid hitting the Fourfold Coin cap at the last minute.
- Always read the bounty description to understand who to fight, where to fight, and what you get as rewards.
- Choose bounties suited to your strength — combat players should prioritize Vendetta and Hunting, while support-oriented players may enjoy Profession or Wandering Paths.
- Check the Bounty Shop first so you know how many coins you need and can plan your weekly objectives accordingly.
- Group up for Fellowship tasks if you want faster clear times and extra rewards.
Rewards from bounties
When you successfully complete a bounty, you typically earn:
- Fourfold Coins
- Coin (standard currency)
- Stored EXP
- Increase in Fourfold Acclaim (progress toward unlocking higher-tier Bounty Shop items)
- Occasional bonus loot depending on mission type
Bounties in Where Winds Meet are more than optional side jobs; they’re your ticket to exclusive cosmetic rewards and consistent progression. If you routinely complete them and plan your coin usage wisely, you’ll steadily unlock some of the best visual items in the game without spending premium currency.
