All 40 Mystic Skills Where Winds Meet Guide & How to Get Them

Judging from how many Mystic Skills are in Where Winds Meet, it’s normal if players feel lost or unsure which one to start chasing first. These abilities affect combat, mobility, stealth, crowd control, traversal, and even exploration. One of the biggest goals in the game right now is unlocking the Dragon Head Mystic Skill, and to do that, players must collect a total of 35 Mystic Skills first. Because of that requirement, it makes sense to tackle all of them step-by-step while playing. This guide breaks everything down clearly so you don’t miss any requirements or hidden quests along the way.
