Greetings Swordsmen!

We hope that you have been well. We’re back with Issue #3 of our Development Progress & Update series! In this update, we’ll be sharing three new things: upgraded inventory sorting options, intuitive NPC icons and dynamic item gathering animations.

[h2]Upgraded Backpack Sorting Options[/h2]



First off, we've upgraded the backpack sorting features. We know that as adventurers, your inventory can get cluttered after many battles and explorations. Previously, items could only be sorted based on rarity. Now, we've introduced two additional sorting methods – by time and by price. Whether you want to prioritize your newest loot or the most valuable pieces, the choice is yours! This would provide you with greater versatility and convenience when organizing your inventory.

[h2]Quests, Sparring, Party Icons For NPCs![/h2]

Next up, we've given NPCs a brand new look.



Quest Givers - Need a quest? Look out for the NPCs with a ‘scroll’ icon above their heads and get sent on petty errands or grand adventures.



Sparring Partners - If you are itching for a fighting match, simply look out for NPCs with a ‘saluting fist’ icon to find a sparring partner.



New Recruits - Looking to recruit new heroes to join your cause? Keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive ‘tiger talisman’ icon for potential martial artists ready to join you on your journey.

With these new icons, every opportunity to spar, recruit, and experience the multitude of side quests is now at your fingertips!

[h2]New Item Gathering Animations[/h2]



Last but not least, we’ve introduced new gathering animation to liven up the item-collection experience. This subtle touch is aimed to inject a little realism and fun into these moments.

This concludes Issue #3 of our Development Progress & Update series! We can't wait to reveal more exciting updates to you in the coming weeks. Here's to many more shared adventures, thrilling journeys, and memorable camaraderie in the incredible world of Wandering Sword!

Greetings Swordsmen!

In this article, we would like to introduce you to the diverse martial arts sects that form the backbone of Wandering Sword's rich storyline. Amongst the numerous sects each with its own unique charm, we will be focusing on four main sects today: Wudang Sect, Shaolin Monastery, Xuanhuo Cult, and Mingjian Manor. Get ready to set foot on a fascinating journey as you discover the history behind these sects!

[h2]Wudang Sect
[/h2]

Firstly, we invite you to the serene mountain peaks of Wudang, a sect revered for its esteemed reputation in the martial arts world. Wudang Sect embodies the principles of Tai Chi and Yin Yang in their martial arts, crafting an aura of tranquility amidst strength. Such principles are reflected in their swordplay techniques, which strike a perfect balance of grace and power. As you embark on your martial arts adventure in Wandering Sword, the opportunity to ascend and lead this prestigious sect might just be around the corner!

[h2]Shaolin Monastery
[/h2]

Next, we embark on a journey to the historical and influential Shaolin Monastery. As the leading institution of orthodox martial arts schools, Shaolin carries a profound history that spans a thousand years. The distinctive skills of Shaolin lie in their potent hand-to-hand combat and polearm techniques, making it the undisputed "North Star" of the martial arts world. As you venture deeper in your journey, mastering these techniques could lend you the strength of a thousand-year-old lineage, solid as the mountains and continuous as the rivers.

[h2]Xuanhuo Cult
[/h2]

Next, we venture beyond the frontier, delving into the mysterious Xuanhuo Cult. Known for its unrivaled sabreplay techniques and unconventional practices, Xuanhuo Cult has earned the label of a "demonic sect" by the Central Plains martial arts community. Despite their controversial reputation, Xuanhuo Cult provides a challenging path for those who aren't afraid to diverge from tradition. Here lies the opportunity to master the unique sabreplay techniques that have marked them as such an infamous presence in the world of Wandering Sword.

[h2]Mingjian Manor
[/h2]

Finally, we arrive at the esteemed Mingjian Manor, celebrated far and wide for their unparalleled swordsmanship and legendary sword forging techniques. Every legendary sword weapon that echoes in the tales of Wandering Sword has been crafted by the masters of this sect. Wielding a sword from Mingsword Manor opens up the exciting possibility of mastering these revered techniques, intertwining your path with the timeless art of swordplay that the sect is renowned for.

Throughout your journey across the lands in Wandering Sword, you’ll engage with these distinct sects, allowing you to master their unique weapons and skills. But the journey doesn’t end here. Beyond these four main sects, a wealth of other sects awaits your discovery, each with its own martial arts technique, captivating storyline and intriguing interactions!

We're thrilled to share the extraordinary lore of these sects with you and look forward to the adventures you'll undertake in their midst. Thank you for your unwavering support, and we look forward to seeing you immerse yourself in the fascinating martial arts world of Wandering Sword! ⚔️
