Where Winds Meet Handbook is an independent reference for the question in front of you: what is this, does it matter, and what should I do with it?
Explanation before optimisation
We aim to define a system before recommending how to use it. A guide should tell you its intended mode and progression stage, put the answer near the top, and point to the systems it depends on.
How sources are used
Official announcements and in-game descriptions are the starting point. Community findings can help identify a question or a possible explanation, but should be labelled and checked before becoming a firm recommendation.
The starter reference pages are researched from official publications. They are not presented as hands-on tests. A source check confirms the scope of the cited material; it does not establish a best build.
Version and update policy
Game rules change. Each guide records its publication and material update dates. A version badge describes its verification state. A review warning appears when a previously checked version differs from the recorded current version.
Dates are changed only for meaningful edits. Unfinished research stays unpublished. We do not create a separate article for every alternate name or search phrase.
Corrections
Corrections should include the page, the affected text, your game version and evidence where possible. See the correction information.
