What the Childhood Reverie quest is, how its Exploration category works, and how to find and track it.

Childhood Reverie is an Exploration side quest in Where Winds Meet, the free-to-play wuxia open-world RPG set during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms era. It belongs to the same family of quests that open up fresh parts of the map, so completing it is tied to reaching and clearing a specific area rather than following a long story chain.

Quick answer: Track Childhood Reverie under the Exploration category in your quest log, travel to the marked area on the map, and clear the quest objectives there to receive its rewards. You know it is done when the quest entry moves to your completed list and the linked area registers as explored.

What Childhood Reverie is in Where Winds Meet

Childhood Reverie is filed under Exploration, one of the optional quest types in Where Winds Meet. Quests in this category are built around discovery. Each one points you to a part of the world and unlocks new areas as you finish it, which makes them the main way to expand how much of the map you can freely reach.

Because it is an Exploration quest, the focus is on getting to the right location and completing the objectives placed there. The quest carries its own set of objectives, an unlock condition, and rewards that are granted on completion.


How Exploration quests work

Exploration quests sit alongside other optional content such as Side Quests, Wandering Tales, and Encounters. What sets Exploration apart is the payoff. Finishing one opens access to a new area, so these quests double as map progression rather than pure narrative filler.

How to find and start Childhood Reverie

Open your quest log and switch to the Exploration category. Childhood Reverie appears here alongside the other Exploration entries once it becomes available to you.
Select the quest to set it as your active objective. This places a marker on your map so you can see exactly where the quest area sits.
Travel to the marked location using fast travel or the game’s wuxia traversal, then complete the objectives there to finish the quest and claim its rewards.

How to confirm the quest is complete

You can verify completion in two ways. The quest entry moves out of your active Exploration list and into your completed quests, and the area it unlocks becomes available for free movement. If the quest is not progressing, the most common reason is that you have not reached the exact marked spot or have not cleared every listed objective yet.

Childhood Reverie is one piece of a much larger map full of Exploration quests, so once it is done, you can return to the Exploration tab and pick the next area to open up.
