Wandering Sword News

Greetings Swordsmen,

In this update, we have implemented several fixes and optimizations. Here are the details:

[h3]New Additions[/h3]

• Added a one-click learning feature: Left-clicking on martial arts books or blueprints will open a menu with an "Learn All" option, allowing the character to learn all relevant skill books and blueprints in the backpack. Items that do not meet learning and usage requirements will be covered in a gray overlay.
  
• Added an option to swap shoulder and trigger buttons in the system’s additional settings during battles.
  
• Each unlocked achievement now grants +1000 inheritance points (details can be viewed on the Inheritance interface).
  

[h3]Optimizations[/h3]

• Optimized the inheritance library for Blazing Divination and Elusive Liuyao Swordplay. Upon inheriting these, the books will now immediately level up to level 10.
  
• Fixed the issue where NPCs triggering the Rebirth effect would not activate the self-destruct effect from Boundless Abundance at extended difficulty levels.
  
• Fixed the cooldown anomaly for certain skills in the "Challenge Myself" difficulty.
  
• Fixed the issue where players could still access the Shaolin Sword Duel side quest related to Wei Huo without completing the Sharpening Skills quest.
  
• Fixed the bug where Cheng Yu mistakenly appeared in Nanjing under the vengeance storyline.
  
• Fixed the issue where Ye Fei would still appear at Lotus Lake after completing the Shaolin Sword Duel.
  
• Fixed missing special effects for Radiant Grace Mastery and Three Karma Assailants.
  
• Fixed missing effects for the Alliance Leader Costume, Thirteen Spectral Swordplay, and Nine Manifestations.
  
• Resolved the inability for the protagonist to surrender in battles at Valley of Dragons' Slumber (except for tutorial stages).
  
• Fixed the issue where defeating Xuanli at Buddha's Hollow did not unlock the Xuanhuo Token in the compendium.
  
• Fixed the bug where failing in the battle against the Duan siblings at the periphery of Buddha's Hollow would end the game.
  
• Adjusted inheritance unlock requirements: now, all inheritance items will drop in Easy and Normal modes, and completing these modes will unlock the corresponding inheritances.
  
• Fixed the incorrect application of injury stacks with Proud Dragon Repents.
  
• Fixed the issue where strengthening Proud Dragon Repents through Dragonish Palm Strike did not apply the injury effect when repelling targets.
  
• Sped up the battle pacing in Buddha's Hollow’s second level where the protagonist does not participate, and removed the first-level battle where Red Eagle led Jianghu fighters to encircle the Beggars' Sect and Divine Eagle Gate.
  
• Fixed the abnormal health issue with Helan Chou and Murong Chuiyun at the periphery of Buddha's Hollow.
  
• Expanded the trigger box for the Yuanqi Broken Sword.
  
• Fixed the abnormal display of the victory conditions for the first battle with Mara Kama on the third level of Buddha's Hollow.
  
• Removed the martial points cost required to reset meridians in Hard and Very Hard mode.
  
• Corrected various typos.
  

Additionally, the features for a one-click meridian impact and auto-save during multi-stage battles are in the production plan. Please be patient!

[h2]Update Notes[/h2]
If you’re using mods, be aware that this update may cause compatibility issues, potentially preventing the game from launching or causing errors. To resolve this, we recommend uninstalling any mods, verifying the integrity of the game files, and then restarting.

You can continue your journey from existing save files. For the best experience with the new storylines, we recommend using save files from the Main Quest: Return to Wudang for the best story experience.

We’ve also prepared an official save file with more detailed progress and content. For those eager to jump straight into the new storyline, you can download it here:
