Hidden Mountain sits north of Qinghe behind mist and stacked cliff cities. Clear Haven Astray at Lv.32 and the vertical map opens for the rest of this checklist.
Nine Arrows mystic skill ranks and PvP value
Nine Arrows ships with Hidden Mountain. You fire a glowing bow volley that taxes every dodge for extra stamina, so Arena and open-world PvP fights end sooner.
Rank | Payoff |
|---|---|
Lv.3 | Second Arrow Rain + refreshes the debuff |
Lv.4 | Lower skill cost; easy to re-cast |
Lv.5 | Extra hit on the second rain; breaks enemies faster |
Lv.6 | Large damage boost |
Cosmetic mystic skill skins in the showcase hit premium prices (about 300 Echo Beads or 3 Sound Jades for phoenix / golden bow VFX). Rank the combat tree first. Buy VFX after you commit to the skill.
Free Level 5 outfit and Mohist Reputation shop
Start with the Level 5 progression reward: a full dark-green set with gear charms, marked free in the appearance preview. Maxing Hidden Mountain exploration rank drops a second free outfit on the local Lightness track.
Mohist Hill / Universal Love Shop spends standing instead of cash:
~600 Reputation for lighter outfit pieces
~1,000 Reputation for mechanical wing / glider cosmetics
~1,200 Reputation for dark armored combat looks
~6,000 Reputation for a full male/female shop pair
Battle Pass and limited event outfits
Day-one premium track holds one Battle Pass outfit (cream floral / black-crimson variants) plus a limited Special Event celestial set with tailored color versions. Clear free and Reputation rows first. For paid pieces, use the Where Winds Meet Echo Beads guide or the safe top-up guide.
Heavenwill Gauntlets and Skygrasp Rope Dart
Heavenwill Gauntlets put close-range punches on Path Bamboocut: Kite. You stack Heaven’s Will, call falcon follow-ups, then spend the bars on charged strikes. Pair them with Skygrasp Rope Dart from Haven Astray for mid-range snares. Trial the path in New Armament Drill (through Aug 20, 2026) after Lv.3 before you spend breakthrough materials.
Hidden Mountain ziplines, railways, and cat house
Travel carries as much weight as combat in this region. Pre-placed and player-built ziplines cut across gorges, and Local Lightness at Exploration Rank 2 lets you climb almost any face you can see.
Wooden railways and elevator carts link cliffs, waterfalls, and camps into your own loop. Build the lines once, then ride them with friends instead of mashing fast travel.
Cat house / Meow Meow builds sit in the same construction kit if you want a home base between runs. For map layers, bosses, and sect ranks, read the Where Winds Meet 2.0 Hidden Mountain guide and the Version 2.0 patch notes.
