• Afterglow Pendant (Qinghe) at Exploration Level 4: enables Lightness/flight skills in Qinghe (e.g., Meteor Flight, Fan Glider, Thousand‑Mile Flight, Wind Rider). You also get Wallstride improvements while sprinting and climbing.
• Region‑specific equivalents in later regions (e.g., Kaifeng’s flight unlock) allow Lightness skills there too. Your movement skills are global, but free use is region‑gated by the item you’ve earned for that region.

Wayfarers (flame icon). Talking to a Wayfarer unlocks the fogged portion of the map. Wayfarers often double as fast‑travel anchors and reveal local fast travel points.

Boundary Stones. These obelisks become fast travel once you interact with them in the world at least once. After activation, select them on the map to teleport.

Oddities (fairy/butterfly proximity icon). These are collectibles—wildlife, curios, and environmental interactions that power Melodies of Peace and unlock additional Mystic Art slots and mobility upgrades. Turn them in to an Oddity Collector NPC (e.g., Qi Sheng in Verdant Wilds) to rank up the tree and earn permanent boosts.

Chests & Pagodas. Classic treasure chests award Echo Jade, coins, materials, EXP, and Exploration Points. Pagoda chests are puzzle‑gated: manipulate incense/butterflies or mechanics to open the doors.

Outposts. Enemy strongholds with first‑clear rewards (often Dragon Keys, materials, unique tomes) and repeatable loot. Some unique movement skills (like Safe Mighty Drop) are tied to clearing a particular outpost once.

World Bosses & Elite Hunts. Named bosses such as Snake Doctor in southern Qinghe grant achievements, materials, and a chunk of exploration when discovered/cleared.

Jianghu Legacies & Side Tales. These short questlines unlock signature abilities (e.g., Afterglow to enable flight) and open new traversal routes.

AI‑Chat & Befriending NPCs. Some NPCs can be befriended for recurring rewards; they’re also marked as map points.

Essential Prep for 100% Sweeps

1. Unlock the first three Wayfarers in Qinghe (Verdant Wilds, Moonveil Mountain, Sundara Land) to reveal sub‑maps and place you near early Boundary Stones.
2. Grab universal movement basics: Threefold Skywalk and Skywalk Dash are baseline; push the Afterglow Jianghu Legacy early to unlock Meteor Flight and make map‑wide traversal dramatically faster once you reach the Afterglow Pendant threshold.
3. Carry utility: bombs/explosives (for rock walls), fire arrows (for vine burns), and a spare rope dart or archery set for ranged triggers. Many pagoda and dungeon chests assume you can burn, blast, or shoot a mechanism.
4. Use Wind Sense whenever the minimap flickers with fairy/butterfly pings—those are Oddities nearby. Catch now; they respawn later for turn‑ins, but sweeping early accelerates your Pendant.
5. Plan your fast travel web: As you traverse, touch every Boundary Stone you pass—even if it’s a detour—so the rest of your sweep is teleport‑efficient.

The Fastest 100% Route for Qinghe (Starter Region)

Step 1 — Reveal the Map: Speak to All Three Wayfarers

• Verdant Wilds Wayfarer → reveals the eastern lowlands and bamboo valleys.
• Moonveil Mountain Wayfarer → reveals the western lakes/ridges and puts you close to Encircling Lake.
• Sundara Land Wayfarer → reveals the northern mesas and towns across the river.

Talking to a Wayfarer lifts fog for that subregion and highlights many interactables, including Boundary Stones. Do this before you begin any fine‑grained collectible loop.

Step 2 — Activate Boundary Stones (Fast‑Travel Spine)

Run a shallow S‑curve through each subregion and touch all Stones you pass. A good order:

1. From the Verdant Wilds Wayfarer, tag the shrine‑side Stone, then General’s Shrine and Stonewash Strand.
2. Cross to Moonveil Mountain: tag the lakeside and cliff‑edge Stones around Encircling Lake; visit the Mysterious Outpost Stone for later.
3. Sweep into Sundara Land: tag the river‑crossing Stones, the Jadebrook foothills, and the northern hamlets.

Once these are active, the rest of Qinghe is a sequence of quick warps rather than marathon runs.

Step 3 — Rush Your Qinghe Afterglow Pendant (Flight)

Your immediate goal is Exploration Level 4 in Qinghe (Afterglow Pendant). The fastest points per minute:

• Wayfarers (talking gives a chunk instantly).
• Boundary Stone activations (fast and on your path).
• Outpost first‑clears near Stones (double‑dip with loot + points).
• High‑density chest clusters (see the General’s Shrine breakdown below).
• Quick Oddities near your routes (capture whenever your minimap pings).

With Level 4 achieved, complete the Afterglow Jianghu Legacy trial to enable flight. From now on, you can use Lightness Skills in Qinghe: glide huge gaps with Fan Glider, dash‑soar with Meteor Flight, and sprint‑climb smoother with Wallstride.

Pro Tip: Lightness flights extend on rhythmic jump prompts while airborne. Hit the timing windows to triple your distance; miss a prompt to drop exactly where you want.

Step 4 — Verdant Wilds 100% (The Best Early Treasure Return)

Why here first: Verdant Wilds concentrates pagoda/dungeon chests and an early Oddity Collector (Qi Sheng), letting you immediately convert Oddities to Melodies of Peace upgrades.

General’s Shrine chest circuit (20/20)

• Expect multiple basement levels (B2/B3) below the compound and a secret behind the main statue.
• Typical mechanics include: burning vines with fire arrows, blasting weak rock walls, and performing bows on a mat to reveal a hidden compartment.
• Rewards trend toward Echo Jade, Oscillating Jade, Ebon Iron, EXP, and Qinghe Exploration ticks.

Other Verdant Wilds hits

• Stonewash Strand scaffolds: elevated chests on cranes and beams—use Fan Glider once unlocked or rope dart shortcuts.
• Battlecrest Slope camps: first‑clear outposts for Dragon Keys and upgrade mats.
• Qi Sheng’s Oddity exchange: turn in your sweep for Melodies of Peace ranks; this snowballs your mobility and combat economy for the rest of the region.

Step 5 — Moonveil Mountain 100% (Safe Mighty Drop & Bossing)

Mysterious Outpost → Safe Mighty Drop. Clear the Mysterious Outpost in western Moonveil to earn Safe Mighty Drop (prevents fall damage on landings and negates certain ailments on impact). This pairs perfectly with exploration flights.

Encircling Lake → Snake Doctor (World Boss). Find the cave entrance on the west side of Encircling Lake and challenge Snake Doctor. Bring disease cures or innate cleanses, learn the tail swipe tells, and leverage aerial re‑positions from Lightness skills to reset his patterns.

Cliff‑edge chest perches. Lakeside and ridge paths hide chests that are much easier once you have flight timing down. Use Mighty Drop to dive safely to awkward ledges.

Step 6 — Sundara Land 100% (Northern Sweep)

River‑crossing Stones first, then circle clockwise along the mesas and hamlets to mop up the chest and Oddity density in town clusters.

World boss island (northwest coast). There’s a boss arena out on a small offshore island; flight and Stones make the approach trivial.

Puzzle pagodas in valleys. Expect incense/butterfly guidance puzzles—draw butterflies to light each incense in sequence until the pagoda doors open and the chest spawns.

Step 7 — Oddity & NPC Finishing Pass

When your fast‑travel lattice is complete and flights are online, run a compass sweep in each subregion specifically for Oddity pings:

• Do circles around Boundary Stones and town perimeters—Oddities love to sit just outside settled edges.
• Turn in batches to an Oddity Collector to unlock Wallstride – Swiftstride/Shadowdash and extra Mystic Art slots. Movement increases cut your remaining time to 100% by half.
• Chat up AI‑enabled Wayfarers and town NPCs until Befriending thresholds trigger; weekly rewards are a nice passive drip and count for your personal progression goals.

Kaifeng 100% (How to Unlock It & Clear It Fast)

First: Unlock Access to Kaifeng

• Reach Level 32, finish Chapter 1: Heaven Has No Pier, and follow the Begin the Journey main quest thread. You’ll read a mail (“To Han Xiangxun”) and speak to a Boatman at the dock, who ferries you to Kaifeng for good.
• Early in Kaifeng, resume the standard rhythm: Wayfarers → Boundary Stones → first‑clear Outposts → chest clusters → Oddity sweeps.

Kaifeng’s Subregions (orientation)

• Kaifeng City – dense rooftops and alleys; vertical chest placements; many Befriendable NPC hubs.
• Granary of Plenty – agricultural belts and warehouses; expect Outposts guarding supply caches.
• Jadewood Court – temple gardens and artisan quarters; pagoda puzzles and ceremonial nodes.

Enable Flight in Kaifeng

Kaifeng has its own regional flight unlock item (functionally equivalent to Qinghe’s Afterglow Pendant). Push exploration to its threshold, then complete the associated legacy/trial to enable Lightness skills in Kaifeng. Your manuals carry over; the permit is what flips them on.

Efficient 100% Route

1. Wayfarers first: Start at the river docks Wayfarer, then the inner‑city Wayfarer on the east ward, then the northern farmlands.
2. Stones & skyline: Activate boundary Stones along the city perimeter, then traverse rooftop spines with Wallstride to tag elevated chests and signage.
3. Outposts: Clear warehouse yards in Granary of Plenty and guard posts along the main causeways—these award Dragon Keys and rare mats you’ll need for gear breakpoints.
4. Pagodas & courts: In Jadewood Court, do the incense/butterfly pagodas in sequence; most layouts are three to four incense stands—guide the butterflies deliberately so each incense lights before you move to the next.
5. Oddity pass: Finish with a ring around city walls, gardens, and outlying mills. The NPC density means minigame and Befriending triggers are frequent; grab these for steady weekly yields.

Icon & System Cheatsheet (Know What You’re Seeing)

• Flame icon – Wayfarer: talk to reveal the sub‑map and, in many cases, unlock fast‑travel to that hub.
• Diamond obelisk – Boundary Stone: activate once in the world; then teleport from the map.
• Fairy/Butterfly ping – Oddity nearby: use Wind Sense, chase/catch/collect.
• Dungeon gate/roofed pagoda – Pagoda/Dungeon chest: expect environment mechanics (burn vines, bomb walls, bow on mats, light all incense with butterflies).
• Swords/monster crest – World Boss/Outpost: first‑clear rewards and achievements; return clears for materials.
• Chat head – NPC: some are AI‑chat enabled; befriend for weekly rewards and special items.

Advanced Techniques for Faster 100%

Lightness mastery

• Meteor Flight timing. Launch, then watch the rhythm prompts at the bottom of the screen. Hit three perfects for a map‑length glide; intentionally miss a prompt to drop precisely on a roofline.
• Wallstride chaining. With Swiftstride and Shadowdash learned, rotate sprint → wall‑run → leap → dash to cross alleys and water surfaces without losing speed.
• Safe Mighty Drop usage. Once acquired from Moonveil’s Mysterious Outpost, you can drop from any height to tag low ledges and secret caves, then spring right back into a flight.

Oddity efficiency

• Oddities respawn; if you pass a high‑density area, do a quick circuit every time you teleport in. Convert to collector upgrades immediately—Melodies of Peace ranks are the single biggest QoL unlock for open‑world routing.
• Some Oddities chase or scatter. Use short dashes, rope dart tugs, or glide‑drops to herd them into an easy catch path.

Pagoda puzzle logic

• Pagoda doors open when all incense stands are lit. Butterflies are the activators: lure them close (walk, glide at low altitude, or hop in short bursts). If a stand doesn’t light, make a smooth figure‑eight so the swarm passes the wick tip.
• For vine‑bound hallways, fire arrows are the cleanest solution; for cracked walls, bombs/explosives.
• Bow mats and ceremonial floors usually demand three bows; face the main statue, bow thrice, and listen for the click before searching the hidden compartment.

Outpost clearing

• First clears grant unique rewards such as Dragon Keys, rare crafting metals, and tomes. If you’re under‑leveled, kite packs, abuse verticality with Wallstride, and pick off ranged elites first.
• Repeats are for gear roll fishing and currencies; don’t grind repeats until your Stones are all active.

World boss notes

• Snake Doctor (Encircling Lake, south Qinghe): Resist disease/poison, punish the double‑lunge window, and reset position with a short flight if he corners you.
• Maniacal Goose (early quest fail state): if you provoke it, it upgrades to a red‑named mini‑boss with a surprisingly lethal peck. Either toss it into deep water or kite and punish between charges. Defeating it grants an achievement.

Troubleshooting Common Completion Snags

• “I have flight skills but can’t fly here.” Flight is per‑region permit. In Qinghe, that’s the Afterglow Pendant (Exploration Lvl 4 + Afterglow legacy). Kaifeng needs its own permit item at its exploration threshold.
• “Boundary Stones don’t work.” You must touch them in the world once. After activation, select the Stone on the map and confirm the teleport.
• “Oddities won’t appear on my map.” They don’t pre‑mark. Use Wind Sense whenever the minimap shows fairy/butterfly pings, then capture and turn in.
• “Still taking fall damage when diving.” Make sure you’ve earned Safe Mighty Drop from Moonveil’s Mysterious Outpost and have it equipped.
• “Kaifeng still locked.” Ensure you’re Level 32+, completed Chapter 1, and progressed Begin the Journey (mail → Boatman → sail).

Micro‑Routes You’ll Use Constantly

General’s Shrine (Verdant Wilds) → 20/20 chest path

1. Clear surface patrols; grab the locked‑room surface chest after key pickup.
2. Descend to B2 via the southwest stairs; bomb the cracked wall to a side room for a medium chest.
3. Proceed to B3 boss chamber; loot two large chests post‑fight.
4. Backtrack toward the statue hall; on the grass mat, bow three times to reveal the statue’s hidden compartment with a high‑value chest.
5. On exit, crouch through the crawlspace to snag another tucked chest before resurfacing.

Encircling Lake cave approach (Moonveil Mountain)

1. Teleport to the lakeside Stone west of the lake.
2. From the Stone, face the rocky outcrop with vine curtains; glide to the cave mouth.
3. Burn the vines, drop to the lower cavern, and follow snake clusters to the boss arena.

Pagoda chest (generic sequence)

1. Identify all incense stands around the pagoda.
2. Lead the butterfly swarm past each incense until it lights—don’t sprint; use gentle arcs.
3. When all are lit, the pagoda doors open; claim the chest.

Frequently Asked Questions (WWM Map Completion)

Q: What exactly counts toward Exploration in each region?

A: Speaking to Wayfarers, activating Boundary Stones, opening chests (including pagoda chests), clearing Outposts (first time), discovering/defeating world bosses, finishing local legacies/side tales, and collecting/turning in Oddities all contribute. The precise values per activity vary, but routing for high‑density clusters (Wayfarers/Stones/chests) accelerates early levels the most.

Q: Why can I glide in Qinghe but not in Kaifeng?

A: Lightness moves are global skills, but using them freely is gated by a region permit—Afterglow Pendant for Qinghe, an equivalent permit for Kaifeng. Earn each region’s item by reaching its exploration threshold and completing the associated legacy/trial.

Q: Do Oddities show up on the map?

A: Not until you’re close. Watch for fairy/butterfly pings on the minimap, pop Wind Sense, then interact, chase, or catch. Turn them in to an Oddity Collector for Melodies of Peace upgrades.

Q: Can I re‑farm Oddities?

A: Yes—Oddities respawn. They’re perfect for topping off Melodies of Peace ranks between longer activities.

Q: What’s the quickest way to reach Qinghe Exploration Level 4?

A: Wayfarers + Boundary Stones first, then General’s Shrine chest route and one or two Outpost first‑clears. Sweep easy Oddities you pass. That’s usually enough to hit Level 4 fast and unlock Afterglow.

Q: How do I use Boundary Stones to fast travel?

A: Interact with a Stone once in the world to activate it, then open the map, highlight the Stone, and confirm the teleport prompt.

Q: Where do I get Safe Mighty Drop?

A: Clear the Mysterious Outpost in western Moonveil Mountain once to claim it as a first‑clear reward.

Q: Where is Snake Doctor?

A: In a cave on the west side of Encircling Lake (southern Qinghe). Burn vines at the cave mouth, then head deeper to the arena.

Q: What’s up with the hostile goose everyone mentions?

A: If you fail an early goose rescue, it can transform into the Maniacal Goose, a red‑named mini‑boss that hits way above its weight. Tossing it into water or spacing its charge pattern are reliable answers. There’s an achievement if you defeat it.

Q: I have the manuals, but Lightness still won’t trigger.

A: You must both own the skill and hold the region’s permit (e.g., Afterglow Pendant). Without the permit, the skill won’t activate in that region.

Q: Can BoostRoom clear just the annoying parts (like pagoda puzzles)?

A: Absolutely. We offer à la carte clearing for Pagodas/Dungeons, Oddities, Wayfarers + Stones, or full 100% packages per region—plus optional coaching so you can do the next region solo.

Why 100% Map Completion Is Worth It

• Traversal freedom: Once flight and Wallstride are enabled in each region, the entire map becomes a playground—you’ll pick up stray icons in seconds instead of minutes.
• Power curve: Melodies of Peace ranks (from Oddities) add stats and extra Mystic Art slots; outpost clears and chest routes shower you with upgrade materials.
• Content unlocks: World bosses, legacies, puzzles, and Befriending rewards all sit behind exploration. 100% ensures you don’t miss unique cosmetics or tomes.
• Endgame readiness: A fully opened map is the best springboard into late‑game bosses, sect challenges, and cosmetic farming.
