Commerce Coins are currency in Where Winds Meet that gates a lot of mid-to-late progression. You need to buy rare crafting materials, furniture, recipes, and rent property. While regular Copper Coins rain down like autumn leaves, Commerce Coins require some effort to accumulate. In this guide, I’ll explain how to get Commerce Coins by all possible means and where you can spend them in-game when you have a good amount in hand.
How to Get Where Winds Meet Commerce Coins
Commerce Coins can be collected from main story quests and side content. Once completed, Campaign quests, Wandering Tales, and Lost Chapters reward Commerce Coins alongside EXP and Echo Jade. Small world activities like minor odd jobs, puzzles, riddles, and NPC challenges across Qinghe and Kaifeng often provide the currency.
You need to explore the world to collect the maximum loot, which is easy to miss if you fast travel a lot. Though the coins you earn from the main story and these side activities are limited, you will want to look for better ways to farm more Commerce Coins. So, here are all the methods that can give you a lot of currency.
Buy Small Boxes from Meow Meow Temple Shop
Head to Halo’s Peak in Qinghe and find the Meow Meow Temple just northwest of the Path of Void Boundary Stone. Speak with the Meow Meow Priest to open the Meow Meow Temple Shop, where you can exchange Cat Bells for Small Boxes of Commerce Coins.
You can obtain the bells by completing Meow Meow puzzle challenges scattered across the region. The shop stocks a maximum of 10 Small Boxes total with no restocks, giving you 25,000 Commerce Coins if you clear out the complete inventory. Knock out the cat puzzles early to jumpstart your currency reserves.
Purchase Small Box in the Season Shop
The Season Shop sells a Small Box of Commerce Coins for 50 Jade Fishes, which nets you 2,500 coins per purchase. You can purchase one coin box every week, but it costs 20,000 Jade Fishes. Jade Fish can be earned from daily bounties, sect tasks, vendettas, multiplayer activities, and events.
Sell Horses to Merchant at Finesteed Hamlet
At Finesteed Hamlet in Qinghe, you can find horse trader Wen Pu near Boundary Stone, who buys horses with Commerce Coins currency. Better horses with high ratings fetch better prices, so hold onto your premium steeds until you can get the good rate.
Trading System at the Trade Commission
Kaifeng’s Trade Commission operates like an in-game stock market where prices change daily. At the South Gate Avenue in Kaifeng City, Feng’s Tradehall sells weekly trade goods at fixed prices in your game world.
Each week, three goods are selected for market activity. You can buy up to 30 units of one item each week and must store them. Once the week starts, prices become volatile. In your own game world, only one of the three goods fluctuates. The other two items stay locked at base price, but their prices fluctuate in other players’ worlds.
- Weekend Strategy: Buy all available trade goods during the weekend when prices reset to their normal rates. Visit Feng’s Tradehall to purchase items including Ramie, Porcelain Jars, and Storax.
- Weekday Strategy: You will notice that prices will start to fluctuate when weekdays begin. Sell the volatile good in your own world when it spikes (prices can jump up to 300%). For the other two items, sell them in other players’ worlds, where the goods fluctuate instead.
You can check Remote Prices at the Trade Commission to see which players have high percentages, which show how much above (or below) the base price that item is selling for in their lobby. Message them first, ask to join, then enter their world and sell your items at their Trade Commission. You cannot buy items in their worlds—only sell.
If you find someone who is selling over 100% (ideally 200-300%), click their name, and message them asking to enter their world to sell the goods. Most players will accept if you explain what you want to do upfront. Go to their Trade Commission and offload the inventory at their inflated prices.
Tip: Message other warriors before you send co-op requests. Use the message icon to send something like “Can I join to sell Ramie at your prices?” Random invites get ignored, so it’s better to do clear communication to get response.
To monitor the market, talk to Zhang Qiyue and select the Price Fluctuation Announcement option in the dialogue. It tells you which three items are active for the week and tracks the daily price shifts. Prices peak around Wednesday in most cases, so time your sales. Buy less on weekends, monitor prices during the week, and sell high when percentages spike. Rinse and repeat every week.
Storage Capacity
The base storage is only 20 units, but items can stack to 30, so it can be hard to keep things organized. To expand it, you must rent a house from Feng’s Tradehall or join a guild with warehouse upgrades.
- Basic property: Small storage increase
- Medium house: 50 slots
- Mansion: 60 slots
- Guild level 6 upgrade: +20 slots
- Total possible: 100 slots (20 default + 60 from mansion + 20 from guild)
With 100 slots, you can buy all 90 trade goods available each week (30 units of every three fluctuating items) and level up your profit mean.
Where to Spend Commerce Coins
- Merchants: In crowded markets and streets, food merchants and vendors sell goods for Commerce Coins. You can stock up on powerful meals with stat buffs, rare crafting materials not found in the wild, and exclusive furniture pieces.
- Feng’s Tradehall: Buy trade goods to flip at the Trade Commission, or rent property to increase the storage to run trading operations.
- Property Rental: Renting houses in Kaifeng costs Commerce Coins but pays for itself through increased trading capacity.
- Riddle NPCs: Pay entry fees to access riddle challenges and complete them to earn rewards such as Coins, Echo Jades, Exploration Points, and EXP. The initial Commerce Coin investment pays back with the other rewards and progression.
Besides these, many sect promotions and disguise commissions can also drain Commerce Coins in Where Winds Meet. Avoid draining your wallet on non-essential stuff until you have a stable weekly income.
