How to Get More Mystic Arts Slots in Where Winds Meet

Mystic Skills or Arts are the backbone of Wuxia combat, platforming, and puzzle-solving as you travel through Jianghu in Where Winds Meet. You start the game with only one Mystic Art slot, but as you progress through the character upgrade tracks and invest Talent Points, you can unlock up to 8 Mystic Art slots for your arsenal.

How Do Mystic Art Slots Work

Your loadout can max out at eight active slots split into two wheels of four.

• Top Palette (Row 1): Usually assigned to quick reaction tools, crowd control, or direct combat brawlers like Lion’s Roar and Leaping Toad.
• Bottom Palette (Row 2): Best used for situational abilities, utility, and environmental puzzle-solvers like Meridian Touch, Celestial Seize, and Cloud Steps.

You can switch between both palettes mid-fight on the fly using the D-Pad (Up and Down) on a controller or your assigned hotkey on mouse and keyboard, eliminating the need to pause or dig through menus during boss encounters.

How to Unlock Mystic Skill Slots in Where Winds Meet

Earn Enlightenment Points

To unlock more Mystic Art slots, you first need to earn Talent Points. Every 1,000 Enlightenment Points converts into 1 Talent Point, and you can collect Enlightenment Points either when you finish Main Story chapters and regional Side Quests across Qinghe and Kaifeng or from loot chests in the countryside, like scouring ruins, unlocking puzzle containers, and finding hidden treasure caches in caves and rooftops.

Spend Talent Points and Unlock Prerequisite Skills

1. Open the pause menu and select Develop.
2. Go to the Talents tab.
3. Find the diamond-shaped nodes marked with Mystic Skill Slot +1.
4. Purchase the prerequisite combat, stat, and passive nodes leading to that slot.

Mystic Skill slots are bound to specific nodes along this path, and you must spend your Talent Points to purchase prerequisite skills before you can unlock more slots.

The Talent tree includes hard progress gates linked to your current account standing. Later branches and advanced slot nodes will remain locked behind higher World Tiers, like reaching World Tier 3 at character level 20. When a branch grinds to a halt, focus on regional clearance, level up your character, and advance the storyline to break past the world difficulty threshold.

Talent Point Cost Milestones

Note: These totals assume you take the shortest path to each slot on the tree. Total required points increase if you branch off into optional side passives instead of beelining toward the slot nodes.

How to Equip and Change Mystic Arts

Once you equip a slot on the tree, this is how to assign your Mystic Skills:

1. Open Develop and head to Abilities.
2. Select the Mystic Skills sub-menu.
3. Highlight an unlocked slot on either the primary or secondary wheel and assign your chosen skill.
4. In the field, hold RT / R2 (or the numeric key on PC) to activate the wheel, press the assigned face button to cast, and tap Up / Down on the D-Pad to toggle between your main and secondary skill rings.
