The best weapon for you to use during the early game of Where Winds Meet is Panacea Fan. It is basically a Chinese wind fan that you can use to deal damage from a distance. The advantages of this weapon are two-fold. Firstly, it protects you from melee damage since it is a ranged weapon that maintains a distance between you and the enemies.

Secondly, Panacea Fan can also heal you. This can be quite useful during early game encounters, where you are limited to only one or two Healing Flasks. As such, an extra source of recovering HP will ensure your survival as you familiarize yourself with the ropes of the game.

Apart from Panacea Fan, we recommend equipping a Spear for your character in WWM. It is also a solid option for a ranged fighting style, as it provides you with a bigger range than swords. Moreover, it is also efficient at depleting the enemy's Qi.

• During the first main mission, you will be tasked with locating and fighting a bear. Within its proximity, you will receive the prompt to save a person in distress.
• Get close to the person who is stuck and rescue them. They will then introduce themselves as Qi Sheng.
• The NPC will then ask you to recover an oddity hanging from the tree in front of you. Just use a flaming arrow to attack the beehive on the tree and recover the item.
• Give the oddity to Qi Sheng, who will then let you pick between any of the four available weapons.
