The world of Where Winds Meet is vast, beautiful, and full of detail. From misty mountains to bustling classical cities, the exploration experience becomes far more exciting when players can do it from the air.
In this game, the ability to fly is available, but it cannot be used right from the beginning.

There are several requirements and steps that must be completed first. This article explains how to unlock the flying ability, the quests that must be completed, and tips to make the process faster.

1. Understanding the Flying System in Where Winds Meet

Aside from horses and Boundary Stones as fast travel tools, flying is the most exciting form of exploration. The flying system uses Lightness Skills, iconic Wuxia techniques for gliding or soaring.

There are four Lightness Skills that can be used for flying:

• Meteor Flight
• Thousand-Mile Flight
• Fan Glider
• Wind Rider

They function the same, but the animations differ. Meteor Flight is usually the first skill players acquire because it is tied to an early quest. Activating it is very simple: just hold the Jump button.

2. Steps to Unlock Meteor Flight as Your First Flying Skill

Starting with the Afterglow Side Quest

Meteor Flight can be obtained through a side quest called Afterglow, found in the Jianghu Legacy tab of your journal. It is the fifth quest on the list and does not require completing other quests beforehand. The quest begins when the player meets a martial arts master disguised as a fisherman near Moonveil Mountain.

Stages of the Afterglow Quest

First, go to the marked point to find the fisherman near a pond. After speaking with him, he will demonstrate Meteor Flight. Players will instantly get a brief flying experience before fully learning the skill. After that, the player will land on the beach near Blissful Retreat and meet the fisherman again, who is already waiting there.

The fisherman then gives a challenge to jump to his boat using floating wine jars as platforms. The game's mechanics prevent players from overshooting, making the platforming segment easy. After reaching the boat, speak to him again, then take the technique manual and long spear placed beside him.

However, Meteor Flight cannot yet be fully used even though the quest is completed.

3. Why Meteor Flight Is Still Locked

If players try to use Meteor Flight after finishing the quest, the screen will fade to black, and they will be teleported back to the beach. The fisherman then explains that flying in the Qinghe region is restricted and that a special item, the Afterglow Pendant, is required to use it.

4. How to Obtain the Afterglow Pendant

To get the Afterglow Pendant, players must reach Exploration Rank 4 in the Qinghe region. To do this, open the map, select the exploration level indicator on the bottom-left side, and check the requirements for rank 4. The Afterglow Pendant will appear as one of the rewards.

Fast Ways to Increase Qinghe Exploration Rank

Several effective methods to speed up rank progression include:

• Completing side quests
• Completing Encounters
• Collecting Oddities and giving them to Qi Sheng
• Discovering new Boundary Stones
• Exploring new areas and unlocking landmarks

The more players interact with and explore Qinghe, the faster their rank will increase. The Afterglow Pendant can be obtained as soon as rank 4 is reached.

5. Important to Know Each Region Has Its Own Rules

Once flying is unlocked in Qinghe, players must understand that flying does not automatically work in other regions. When moving to Kaifeng or later areas, Meteor Flight will be locked again. To reactivate it, players must reach Exploration Rank 4 in that region as well. The Lightness Skills themselves remain unlocked; only the flying permissions differ per region.

6. Tips to Unlock Flying Faster

These tips can help players unlock flying earlier:

1. Focus on exploring Qinghe first before moving to another region.
2. Complete all side quests because they contribute significantly to exploration progression.
3. Unlock as many Boundary Stones as possible to boost exploration points.
4. Collect Oddities and deliver them to Qi Sheng.
5. Log in for four days to obtain Thousand-Mile Flight as an additional Lightness Skill.

With these combined activities, exploration rank will increase faster, and flying permissions can be unlocked sooner.

Flying in Where Winds Meet is not just an extra feature but an essential part of the Wuxia experience the game aims to deliver. Because the world is extremely vast and vertically designed, the ability to glide through the air provides significant mobility freedom. However, achieving it is not instant. Players must go through a series of processes including completing quests, increasing regional exploration ranks, and understanding the Lightness Skill system.

One key aspect of the flying mechanism is the separation of permissions by region. This means players cannot rely on a single quest but are encouraged to truly explore and understand each area in the game. This system indirectly deepens the overall gameplay experience, pushing players to complete side quests, collect Oddities, and unlock Boundary Stones as part of exploration progression. As a result, players are not merely chasing a flying skill but also uncovering lore, characters, and hidden secrets scattered throughout the world of Where Winds Meet.

With Meteor Flight as the starting point, players get to feel how the game blends action and exploration with classic Wuxia style. After obtaining the Afterglow Pendant and unlocking flight, the journey becomes more dynamic. However, players must be prepared to repeat the Exploration Rank process when entering new regions such as Kaifeng. This ensures each region maintains its own exploration value and cannot be bypassed easily.

Ultimately, flying in Where Winds Meet is a reward for players who are eager to explore the world thoroughly. By following the guide above, you can unlock flight more quickly, save travel time, and enjoy epic scenery from the sky. This mechanism provides a strong sense of accomplishment and opens the opportunity to enjoy the game's world more freely and cinematically. In the end, flying is not only about mobility but also about the character’s journey, reflecting growth and mastery of high-level martial arts techniques.
