In Where Winds Meet there are a few restrictions on level and progress. MeinMMO explains what you need to know about the maximum level and daily reset.
Why is level important? Certain content in Where Winds Meet is tied to your level. You must reach a specific level for story missions in order to start the quests.
The developers have integrated a hard level cap in the game so that players do not reach the maximum level on the first day. MeinMMO explains what you need to know and where the level cap lies.
Maximum level and level cap explained
What is my current level cap? From the day you first play the game, there is a fixed upper limit for the solo mode level of the game world. Your first login counts, not the release date of the game. Every day, the maximum level increases by a certain level until the limit is eventually lifted (via game8.co):
| Day and Maximum Solo Level | Maximum Total Level |
|---|---|
| Day 1 (Level 2) | 20 |
| Day 2 (Level 3) | 30 |
| Day 3 (Level 4) | 40 |
| Day 5 (Level 5) | 50 |
| Day 9 (Level 6) | 55 |
| Day 18 (Level 7) | 60 |
Do I have to reach the maximum level every day? No, it is not strictly necessary to reach the level cap every day. The limit will also be raised even if you cannot reach the daily maximum level.
Where Winds Meet Daily Reset
When is the level cap raised? The daily reset occurs here in Germany at 10:00 PM. At this time, the level limit is also raised if it is time for that day.
At this hour, daily quests and dungeons are also reset.
Where Winds Meet: Increase Maximum Level
How to increase the maximum level: Once you have reached the current maximum level, such as level 15, you will get a hint that you need to achieve a so-called breakthrough. For this, you will be sent to an arena where you must defeat a certain number of waves of enemies within a specific time (10 minutes).
At higher levels, you must also have reached a certain level in the Taiping Mausoleum in addition to the character level. This will replace the arena you were previously sent to but must be completed before you can achieve a breakthrough.
If you succeed in this, the maximum level will be raised. Experience points you have gained beyond your previous maximum level will automatically be credited to your new level. So, no experience points are lost, even if you continue to gain experience and have reached the maximum level.
If you fail to successfully complete the breakthrough, then your maximum level in the game will not be raised. The overall level cap, which is increased daily, is not affected by this.
Why do I need to raise my level? Generally, it is not worthwhile to remain at a low level, as many story contents are tied to a minimum level. This means: You can only continue the story if you have reached the corresponding level. Without a breakthrough, this is therefore not really possible.
Do the enemies stay weaker if I don’t level up? No, in solo mode, enemies always stay around your level. If you successfully complete the breakthrough, the enemies will also become stronger. Therefore, you cannot overlevel the enemies. The popular trick in MMOs to level up to better fight a boss later only works to a limited extent.
