Greetings Swordsmen,

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

• 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).

• 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 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.

Greetings swordsmen,

After six months of hard work, we’re excited to announce that the Echoes of Ash and Dust update for Wandering Sword is now live!

This major update brings new branching storylines, a thrilling conclusion to the main story, Steam achievements, expanded difficulty options, a new inheritance system, and much more. Whether you’re returning to the martial world or starting fresh, we invite you to dive in and experience these new adventures.

In celebration of the update, Wandering Sword will be available at a 15% discount—its lowest price yet—starting from October 25th, 1:00 AM until November 8th, 1:00 AM. If you’ve been waiting to join the journey, now’s the perfect time!

https://node2.projectplanet.cn/@store.steampowered.com/app/1876890/Wandering_Sword/

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:

The Echoes of Ash and Dust User Save File Guide[coconutisland.feishu.cn]


The young master of the TianJian Sect, Xiao Hanguang, has emerged from seclusion and issued a challenge to the Shaolin Temple. Meanwhile, rumors about his connections to the Tianji Palace are swirling. But on the day of the duel, an unexpected event shakes Shaolin to its core... What choices will Yuwen Yi, caught in the middle of this storm, make? What is the fate of the martial world? What does it truly mean to be a hero? The answers await in this new chapter.

At long last, Steam achievements have arrived! Thank you for your patience and support. After updating, your achievements will unlock based on your game progress. These can also be completed across multiple save files, so feel free to enjoy the challenge!

Please note: Due to the inability to read the records before Southern Chronicles version, early archives may not be able to unlock achievements. You can consider starting a brand new journey.

• Inheritance Library: In the "Extreme" difficulty setting, you can now select additional expansions that increase your difficulty score by 0.2 upon completion.
  
• New Inheritance Page: Unlock powerful inheritances after completing the game in hard or extreme mode.
  
• Additional Features: Convert excess meridian points, access a battlefield surrender option, and take on the Five Elements Challenge, where you’ll face tougher opponents for rarer rewards—or opt for safer, easier battles. The choice is yours!

As a thank-you for your incredible support, we’ve prepared a special anniversary gift! After the update, head to Hero Jiang’s home and open the treasure chest located to the left of his entrance to claim your reward. The chest will remain there, waiting for you to claim it whenever you’re ready.
We’re truly grateful for your continued support—it’s because of you that we’ve been able to come this far. We hope the Echoes of Ash and Dust update offers an unforgettable experience.
