Updated, December 30, 2025: By Luke Simons: The Where Winds Meet Global Server is approaching its year-end closign event, and players have a new opportunity to earn tons of rewards while hunting around for collectibles (Oddities) in the Qinghe, Jianghu, and Kaifeng regions. This update includes the location of every Oddity Trader in Where Winds Meet, so for those who have completed their Qinghe collection and are roaming around Jinaghu and Kaifeng Prefecture, they will find the detailed information below. Good luck on your hunt!
Melodies of Peace Explained: How to Find Oddities Trader Qi Sheng
Qi Sheng is a merchant that offers special services in the Qinghe region, in the starting zone of Where winds meet. He lies on the northern side of the verdant wilderness. His stall is placed between the General's Shrine Landmark Teleporter and that Wayfarer Campwhere players get their first map. Talking to him will complete one special mission called Melodies of Peacewhich is also a tutorial for the system of the same name.
This system allows players to exchange Oddities (collectibles) for special unlocks in the Harmony perk tree. These unlocks can be Stat boosts (HP, Precision, Critical, Base Damage), Special Martial Arts Manuals, Inner Way Passivesand some Quest items related to The world unlockssuch as the Bronze Bell Fragment needed to repair Demoncalm Bell (weakens World Bosses).
This is one of the best ways to unlock upgrades for the main character in Where winds meet as unlocked nodes will add to the overall stat values and increase the players martial arts level (Gearscore), allowing them to participate in more activities. Especially for beginners who are just starting their adventure, because these stat boosts will help them survive the challenging Bosses of the Main Mission.
To unlock each node of Harmony in Melodies of Peace, players must do so invest a certain number of specific oddities found in the Qinghe region:
-
Talk to Qi Sheng and choose: Submit Oddities.
- Select any of the nodesand check claim at the bottom right corner of the screen.
-
Players can choose: Add All (press F) or Activate (The space bar) to unlock the node.
Each node has a specific associated effect, for example The Music of Laiyi unlocks +4 bonuses to Minimum Physical Attack. It increases the minimum limit of damage dealt with each attack, and the total physical damage dealt (DPS).
Each completed node of Melodies of Peace is a permanent unlock, players cannot disable them once unlocked. The only way to activate every node of Harmony is to find all the collectibles in the Qinghe region.
What are oddities and how to find them
Oddities are special collectibles that players find while roaming the Qhinghe region, and each of them has an associated collection mechanic. For example: the Dagger General (locusts) are hidden in rocks or boxes that must be destroyed. The Enchanting Lotus will prevent players from collecting them by exuding Miasmaunless they destroy the clouds of purple butterflies protecting them.
Below is a complete list of all collectibles found in the Qinghe Region, and the associated mechanics for collecting them:
|
Dagger General |
Found hidden in piles of rocks, crates, barrels, crates and other breakable objects. |
|
Enchanting Lotus |
Players must eliminate Purple Butterfly clouds to approach and collect them. |
|
Ironwing Mantis |
It will flee when players approach it. Chase and catch it before it escapes. |
|
Red Mist Beetle |
They spawn above the circles of red mushrooms. Players must slide, double jump, or fall from higher ground to select them. |
|
Whisper Hive |
Found on trees, ledges, rocks and other high ground. Shoot a fire arrow and then climb to collect from them. |
Oddities can be found scattered throughout the Qhinge regionand can be found in almost every quadrant of the map (except Dungeons). Remember that Oddities only appear once, so when players collect them, they should go ahead and deliver them to Qi Sheng to unlock new Harmony Nodes.
For the Kaifeng (Jinaghu) region, players will need to look for a new set of oddities that can be delivered to Bai Ji in the northwest corner of Kaifeng City (inside the temple). Here are all the oddities in Kaifeng and how to get them:
|
Midnight Nibbler |
Found hidden in piles of rocks, crates, barrels, crates and other breakable objects. Destroy and pursue them to capture. |
|
Moonbeam toad |
Similar to Ironwing Mantis, but much faster. Some of these require players to use the ease ability to capture. |
|
Osmanthus sprig |
Players must shoot birds carrying these twigs to make them drop them to the ground and then collect them. |
|
The swallow's rest |
Usually located on high ground, on roofs and in trees. Climb and retrieve them by interacting with the nest. |
|
Thunder Fluff |
Interact with the plant, then run towards the fluff before it touches the bottom to catch it. |
Similar to Melodies of Peace Qhinghe, the Kaifeng collectibles will unlock stats, martial arts resources, manuals, and Inner Path pages that players can use to improve their characters.
