Wandering Sword Update Addresses Quest Progression and Combat Bugs

The latest Wandering Sword update fixes progression locks with characters like Leng Wuqing and Ye Fei, adjusts enemy spawn counts, and resolves multiple skill and status immunity bugs.

A new update for Wandering Sword rolls out bug fixes across quest lines, interfaces, and combat mechanics. The patch targets several progression blocks, adjusts spawn densities for specific wildlife, and resolves skill interactions that previously bypassed status immunities.

Quest and Party Fixes

Several party member recruitment and departure triggers now function correctly. Leng Wuqing and Ye Fei automatically rejoin the party after the Aftermath at Pili School sequence. Shang Tingzhu now leaves the party properly prior to the Southern Border quest line. Additionally, Heart-Piercing Dust drops have been added to Liux Khat during the Southern Border seclusion segment, and drops are now included for the first battle against Bai Weiyi at Perpetual Sanctum.

Combat and Skill Adjustments

Stringless Silence no longer causes normal, special, mighty, and unique moves to become ineffective when used against characters equipped with Zhenwu Sword or Evergreen Vitality Mastery. Vibrant Cloud Swordplay cooldown reductions now apply correctly. The level 10 effect of the Illusion Gu Mental Sutra no longer increases stacks when killing non-poisoned targets, and Cloudform Tai Chi level 4 no longer deals abnormal damage against Wudang Swordplay and Xuanxu Saberplay. Furthermore, Immortal's Unforgiving Sword manuals are now stackable.

World and Interface Cleanups

Enemy populations have increased, with more Rabid Bear encounters at the Precipice and additional Rhinoceros in Shiwan Dashan. Ore positions inside White Tortoise Cave have been shifted to prevent players from getting stuck in the environment. Interface corrections include fixing a bug where clicking back on the Meridian Map automatically selected the main character, alongside multiple text and stat description errors for Thunderclap Slash, Tai Chi Enchancement, Tai Chi Marvel Force, and critical strike resistance.

Why this patch matters

This update resolves softlocks and unintended skill interactions, making Wuxia playthroughs more stable from early exploration through late-game Southern Border quests.
