Where Winds Meet: How to Switch Up Your Look Without Breaking the Bank
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A new guide outlines how players can swap outfits, update makeup, and alter facial features in Where Winds Meet, including a hidden trick for a free character redesign early in the game.
Customizing your protagonist is practically a ritual when diving into a new open world, and Everstone Studio and NetEase Games have built a flexible system for that in Where Winds Meet. According to a detailed guide by Marloes Valentina Stella on Polygon, swapping out your clothes, hair, and makeup is a straightforward process that you can handle directly through the in-game appearance menu. Outfits and hairstyles are tied to your equipment slots, meaning you can easily refresh your wardrobe as you unlock new gear through quests or pick up items from the shop.
When it comes to altering your character's foundational facial structure, however, the rules change slightly. Tweaking features like the shape of your eyes, nose, or mouth requires a specific consumable item called a Water Lady Script. These scripts run 200 Echo Jade apiece in the in-game shop. Thankfully, Echo Jade is the primary currency you earn naturally by completing quests and hunting down treasure chests, meaning you do not need to dip into real-world cash to fund your virtual makeover.
There is also a clever shortcut early in the campaign that lets you completely redesign your facial features for free. During the Still Shore quest line, interacting with an NPC named Cheng Xin gives you a one-time opportunity to enter the character creation suite at no cost. While Cheng Xin only offers this service once, taking advantage of the early game option saves you valuable currency while you are still establishing your resources. You can read the full breakdown over at Polygon to make sure you do not miss the window for your free redesign.
