The world of Where Winds Meet is vast and shared with other travelers. One of the key social features that allows players to interact and leave their mark is the Signpost system. These player-created markers serve as a dynamic message board across Jianghu, allowing for communication, cooperation, or just a bit of fun. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about placing, managing, and using signposts.
How to Get Signposts
Before you can leave a message for others, you need to acquire signposts. They are not an unlimited resource.
Purchase from NPCs: The primary way to obtain signposts is by buying them from various NPC merchants scattered across the game world. Keep an eye out for vendors during your travels if you enjoy leaving messages in many locations.
How to Place a Signpost
Placing a signpost is a straightforward process directly from your inventory.
Open Your Inventory: Access your character’s bag.
Locate the Signpost Item: Find the signpost in your list of usable items. The interface will show your current available quantity.
Select and Place: Choose the signpost item and confirm your action to place it in the world at your current location.
Using Photo Mode with Signposts
You can create more visually engaging signposts by integrating the game’s Photo Mode.
The Process: When you decide to place a signpost, you can first enter Photo Mode to frame the perfect shot.
Attach the Image: The picture you take in Photo Mode will be attached to your signpost.
Add a Message: Just like a standard signpost, you can still add a short text message to accompany your image.
Resource Cost: Remember, creating a Photo Mode signpost still consumes one signpost from your inventory.
How to Manage and Delete Your Signposts
Once a signpost is placed, you have full control over it through the Social menu.
Access the Social Menu: Open the main menu and navigate to the Social section.
Find Your Signposts: Look for a tab or category that manages your placed signposts.
Manage Interactions: From this menu, you can:
View all comments left by other players on your signpost.
See the number of likes it has received.
Reply to comments directly.
Delete any signpost you no longer want to maintain in the world.
Social Features and Communication
Signposts are more than just markers; they are an interactive communication system.
Global Interaction: Any player passing by your signpost can read, like, and comment on it.
Auto-Translate Feature: The game includes an automatic translation feature, which helps break down language barriers. This allows messages written in various languages to be understood by a global audience.
Community Use: Players use this system for various purposes, including leaving helpful information (like boss tips or hidden item locations), sharing positive messages, or simply posting mischievous or humorous notes.
How to Disable Signpost Visibility
If the world becomes too cluttered with messages for your taste, you can clean up your view.
In-Game Settings: Head to the game’s settings menu.
Toggle Visibility: Look for an option related to “Signpost Visibility” or “Player Messages.”
Selective Disabling: You can typically choose to disable the display of all signposts, only other players’ signposts, or just your own signposts.
