Intro
Your character’s true power in Where Winds Meet comes from Inner Ways—the passive abilities that reshape your build, amplify your damage, and unlock unique combat mechanics. Many of these passives are transformative, dramatically boosting weapon performance and enabling advanced combos.
This guide covers everything about Inner Ways:
• which ones are best for your build
• where to farm Inaway Note boxes
• weekly vs one-time sources
• conversions, tips exchange, and optimization
• hidden menus many players miss
If you’re working on weapons, bosses, or progression alongside your Inner Ways, Onlyfarms can help you speed things up with:
👉 Weapons Unlock Boost
Why Inner Ways Matter
Inner Ways directly modify your combat abilities. Some passives completely change how a weapon behaves:
Sword Morph
A must-have for Nameless Sword. Allows firing multiple energy beams instead of one, and each upgrade makes the skill far easier and faster to use.
Sword Horizon
Nearly doubles strategic sword damage.
Exquisite Scenery
A game-changing passive for Mo-blade players: blocking once every 10 seconds triggers a fully charged heavy attack with zero animation time once upgraded, it triggers every 5 seconds instead
These passives are not optional—they are your build’s backbone.

Choosing the Right Inner Ways – How to Know What Fits Your Build
A critical in-game tool exists under:
Develop → Improvement Guide
Here you can view:
- recommended builds
- weapon combinations
- Inner Ways tailored to each weapon set
These recommendations are accurate for the most part—especially for legendary weapons.
But the #1 Inner Way every build should include:
⭐ Morale Chant
It provides free bonus damage and is recommended across DPS, tank, and healer builds.
How to get Morale Chant
Travel to Blissful Retreat → speak to Tang Bao → buy pages for 500 jade each and combine them.
This is one of the few Inner Ways obtained entirely through page purchases.
How Many Pages You Need
Higher tiers require dozens to hundreds of pages. For example:
- Tier 2 → 30 pages
- Tier 6 → hundreds
Understanding where to farm these pages efficiently is essential.

All Sources of Inaway Note Boxes (Repeatable and One-Time)
Below is a complete breakdown of how to acquire Inaway Notes. Some sources are weekly; others can only be cleared once.
Weekly / Repeatable Sources
1. Season Shop
Under Season Menu → Season Shop, you can buy:
- 20 Inaway Note Chests (normal)
- 20 additional ones requiring 10,000 jadefish
Jadefish is extremely easy to farm from nearly all activities.
If you’re short on time, the fastest jadefish methods include:
• Trials (Abyss difficulty, even if you die)
• Vendetta
• Bounty hunting
2. Sword Trial and Joint Battle
Under Wandering → Trials → Sword Trial:
- First-time clear → bonus boxes
- Every run → 3 boxes
- Joint Battle → 1 box per chest, more if you spend additional energy
Important: Don’t let your energy cap at 500—run content to convert it into Inaway boxes.
3. Kiang City Fireworks (Multiplayer)
A small weekly bonus—1–2 boxes—rewarded during the fireworks event (weekends).
Timing varies by region, so some players may not be able to attend.
One-Time Sources (Large Majority of Your Notes)
1. Zhao Feiyan’s Shop – 20 Boxes
After bribing the guard to enter the premises, travel to the top of Kyifung City and buy the boxes.
2. Food Stall Owners
Each stall owner gives 2 boxes once you reach Kindred Spirits reputation.
How to farm rep quickly:
• buy their food repeatedly
• build rep until the top option becomes available
These NPCs do not appear on the map—you must visit them manually.
3. Chess Players
Unlock chess via the NPC in Heaven’s Pier.
Best strategy for reputation:
→ Lose instantly by walking your commander into theirs.
Losing yields +15 reputation, while winning only gives +10.
Each chess NPC provides Inaway boxes at max reputation.
4. Blue Book Side Quests
Many of these quests reward boxes. Always check the quest description when browsing the map.
5. World Bosses
World bosses drop specific Inner Way pages required to unlock certain passives.
For example:
- Puppet Master → Exquisite Scenery
- Tang Lun → 10 Morale Chant pages
Even if you don’t plan to run the associated Inner Way, clearing their shop stock is beneficial for conversions later.
If you’re struggling with world bosses:
👉 Story & Bosses Boost
6. Rivalry Hall (Hidden Menu)
Inside Kyifung → Velvet Shade, completing Rivalry Hall quests gives up to 6 boxes.
Easy to miss—make sure to check this area.
7. Improvement Guide – All Path Challenges
A huge reward source.
Completing challenges across all categories yields:
→ 140+ Inaway Note Boxes
Some challenges require expensive weapon upgrades to level 60–65, so complete them gradually.
If you need weapons unlocked quickly for challenge progression:
👉 Weapons Unlock Boost
8. Boss Challenges in Trials
Defeating any Kiang boss and completing two listed challenges grants 5 boxes.
9. Events
These rotate over time and may include:
- Login rewards
- Luminina Guide
- Chrono Exploration
- Twitch Drops
Always check event menus—there is almost always something awarding boxes.
Converting Unwanted Inner Ways – Tips Exchange Explained
After farming dozens of Inner Ways, your inventory will overflow with passives you don’t need.
Step 1 — Lock the Inner Ways You Want
Use the lock icon to protect your main passives.
Step 2 — Recycle the rest
Under Develop → Inaway → Tips Exchange, select:
→ Obtain Book Tokens
This transforms unwanted passives into tokens.
Step 3 — Buy Custom Swap Chests
These are the best value and refresh weekly. They allow targeted farming for the exact Inner Ways you want.
Examples include boxes for:
- Nameless Sword (Sword Morph)
- Strategic Sword (Sword Horizon)
- Tanks (Exquisite Scenery)
- Healers (Umbrella/Fan sets)
After exhausting the weekly boxes, you can purchase other, less targeted boxes.
Conversion Rules
- Legendary Inner Ways convert only into other legendary ones
- Neutral Inner Ways convert only into other neutral ones
- Class-specific challenge rewards cannot be converted
When to Use Conversion Cooldowns
The conversion system used to be part of an advanced strategy to temporarily swap to another build and open its boxes—but now that golden boxes exist, this is mainly useful only if you’re permanently switching builds.
