Acquiring these skills early to customize your warrior is important part of your journey. Do you prefer distance, healing, or close combat? Learn every weapon will make you truly unstoppable.

Essential Preparation

Before looking for advanced martial arts, get the two important Mystic Skills. These let you use Skill Theft. It is the main way to unlock most weapons.

First, reach Level 8 and go to Peace Bell Tower. You must play the skill theft minigame by watching your target and pressing the observation button when you see gold rings. You’ll be able to unlock Veil of Stillness. This helps you sneak into martial sanctums.

Next, finish the side quest “Echoes of Old Battles” at Northern Vow Ruins. You need to defeat the enemies in the big courtyard with a circular symbol. Then you must light the flame device there and another on a nearby tower. After that you must solve the underground puzzles to find a gold chest with the Touch of Death.

Some underground Sanctums need Dragon Keys to enter. You can obtain these keys by reaching Solo Mode level two. Another option is, you can also get it by finishing the Skill Theft: Unearned Lesson quest, or clearing outposts for the first time.

Default and Early-Game Martial Arts

Nameless Sword is your starting martial art. It offers a fast melee style with quick slashes and skills to lunge at enemies or backflip away while attacking. After that, you can unlock the Nameless Spear soon after. It is another agile melee option with precise thrusts and a skill that stuns targets briefly and restores endurance.

You will submit your first Oddity after learning Tai Chi from the bear and giving a beehive to Qi Sheng, and pick one of four martial arts: Panacea Fan, Thundercry Blade, Infernal Twinblades, or Vernal Umbrella.

Check your letter tab to claim the Stormbreaker Spear as a free reward from the Raging Tides General once you are Level 3. This tank-style martial art is great for taunting enemies, absorbing damage, and controlling crowds.

Advanced Martial Arts Through Skill Theft

You can also unlock advanced martial arts by just watching masters and stealing their skills at special sanctums around the map. The Strategic Sword is a smart, bleeding-focused weapon found at the Lone Cloud Sanctum near Encircling Lake. Watch the master and press the observation key when golden rings appear.

The Heavenquaker Spear is known for strong spinning attacks and causing bleeding. You can learn it by sneaking into the Raging Tides Sanctum in eastern Qinghe. If you like fighting from a distance, the Inkwell Fan has powerful wind attacks and can knock enemies into the air. Find it at the Silver Needle Sanctum in northern Qinghe, near Bodhi Sea.

Players who like to help others can look for the Soulshade Umbrella. It gives you healing turrets and healing that follows you, hidden in a village west of Mistveil Forest in Kaifeng. Just enter the open building, go downstairs, and meet the master below.

The Mortal Rope Dart lets you grapple, pull enemies, and even summon rats. Go to the Nine Mortal Ways hall in southern Kaifeng to get it and talk to the elder about disguises. Then visit Wuyan at Lin’s Cosmetics in the Fairgrounds. Complete her request to craft a disguise, photograph the disciple outside the hall, return to Wuyan, and re-enter the area from a different route to avoid detection.

Unlocking Through Sect Membership

Aside from stealing skills of masters, you can also steal sect’s. This gives you instant access to certain martial arts after joining the Sects. Here are each weapon that matches a Sect:

Silver Needle Sect – Panacea Fan and Inkwell Fan
Well of Heaven Sect – Thundercry Blade
Midnight Blades Sect – Infernal Twinblades
Raging Tides Sect – Stormbreaker and Heavenquaker Spears
Hollow Vale Sect – Soulshade Umbrella
Velvet Shade Sect – Vernal Umbrella
Lone Cloud Sect – Strategic Sword
Nine Mortal Ways Sect – Mortal Rope Dart.

The advantage is that you can leave any Sect after learning their martial art and join another right away, keeping all your rewards and cosmetics. You must survive the Perception Forest escape challenge to be able to leave. It is where other players hunt you for bonus rewards. You cannot rejoin the Sect you just left.

Conclusion

Mastering all martial arts weapons in Where Winds Meet takes many quests. Learning each weapon helps you become one of the strongest fighters. Be sure to plan your route before you go and try to master every technique you can find.
