In Where Winds Meet, you not only take damage from attacks but also from various environmental factors. Healing costs gold, which is why players simply meet in an “online clinic.”
What kind of clinic is this? In single-player mode, you will find an NPC healer in Qinghe called the “Clinic of Eternal Care.” She takes care of your fractures, illnesses, and stings, but for a proud 10,000 coins. And even though you can quickly gather this money while exploring and questing, this amount can easily be saved.
A player shows on X what it looks like in online mode, and for many, this is an absolute game changer. Not only do you save coins, but you can also practice your healer profession and earn rewards.
Both sides benefit from healing in online mode
If you’ve caught an illness, been stung by bees, or suffered fractures, you can specifically search for healers in the menu. Simply click on the illness icon next to the minimap. There you will find a description of your ailment and can choose whether to look for a player healer or travel to the NPC healer.
How does healing between players work? To be healed by other players, switch to online mode in the menu (via the mode switch icon at the top) and travel to the “Clinic of Eternal Care” west of Qinghe at the same waypoint. It’s usually crowded with players, and among them are numerous healers who are happy to patch you up again.
And both sides benefit from a successful healing: The injured player is free from their suffering, and the healer receives a small reward. Healers also set in advance what they want for it, such as 500 coins, a few likes, or a specific emote in response.
In the clip on X, you get an impression of what it looks like:
How do you become a healer? In Where Winds Meet, you receive a quest that requires you to go to the “City of Mercy” in Qinghe. Additionally, you must be at least level 13. There, the quest begins that unlocks the healer profession. In the open world of the action RPG, you will also encounter NPCs that you can heal. However, you cannot heal yourself.
For each treatment, you need healer experience, as you will face a small mini-game. You and the patient each have “life points.” Using cards, you attack the ailment or create shields and bonuses. The goal is to bring the life points of the illness to 0 before your own points run out. As you gain more experience, you can later skip the mini-game and perform a quick healing directly.
In Where Winds Meet, there are also sects that focus on specific play styles, interests, and professions. The Silver Needle sect, for example, specializes in healing. Members of the Silver Needle sect receive rewards for healing, but also small penalties if they do not fulfill their duties.
