Where Winds Meet Weapons
Where Winds Meet has 20 weapons in Version 2.2, two for each of its 10 martial paths. A martial path pairs two specific weapons, and the table below shows each weapon with its partner. 8 of them came with updates in 2026: Everspring Umbrella and Unfettered Rope Dart in Version 1.4 (March 6, 2026); Snowparting Blade and Phalanxbane Blade in Version 1.5 (April 2, 2026); Heavenwill Gauntlets and Skygrasp Rope Dart in Version 2.0 (July 23, 2026); and Skystrike Gauntlets and Riven Twinblades in Version 2.1 (September 3, 2026).
The "How to get" column gives the official steps for the 6 weapons whose update overview lists them. For 12 more, it gives only what at least two independent sources agree on: written guides, and players' videos that show the game's own screens. Guides still disagree on Snowparting Blade and Phalanxbane Blade, so those stay open. Joining a sect also teaches its weapons; our sects guide lists which sect teaches what and how to join it.
Weapon pairs checked as of October 6, 2026; the sources for every pairing are in the Build Planner. Unlock steps checked as of October 11, 2026.

"Added" is only filled in where an official update overview introduces the weapon. In "How to get", the first Oddity you hand to Qi Sheng in Qinghe lets you pick one of four weapons; where guides name different places for the same Skill Theft, we leave the place out. Every path and its tier list placings are on our Builds page.
