Wandering Tales are hidden exploration quests scattered across the mountain trails around Heaven’s Pier and Moonveil Mountain. They never appear as golden markers, so you have to trigger them by talking to people, picking up items, and overhearing conversations as you walk. Once you know where each one begins, they are short and simple to close out.
Quick answer: Talk to the Wayfarer in the region first to reveal the map, then open your journal, go to Exploration, and check the Wandering Tales tab for the first clue. From there, follow the start location listed below for each mountain tale and complete the small task it gives you.

How Wandering Tales unlock on the mountain
You cannot pin these quests from the world map. The first step in any new area is finding the Wayfarer. Speaking to them unlocks that region’s map and drops the opening hints for its Wandering Tales into your journal.
After that, open your journal and look under the Exploration menu at the Wandering Tales tab. Each entry gives you a starting hint. Some tales do not need any menu at all. Walking close to two NPCs mid-conversation is enough to begin them, so keep your ears open as you move through the mountain paths.
Mountain-area Wandering Tales: locations and rewards
These are the tales tied to Moonveil Mountain, Battlecrest Slope, and the Heaven’s Pier trails around them. Use this to track which ones you still need.
Finally he demands a Large Jar of Parting Tears. Head up the stairs to the brewery storage area and grab the large jar from under a shed. Give Mu Bai all three to finish.
Return to Butter and feed it the bone. The man runs off but drops a Mysterious Token (Dragon Crest Token: Yin) on a crate. Its description tells you to give it to Unfated Tian or Tang Bao.
Use Celestial Seize (earned from the Foul Play quest) to grab the bag safely from the snakes, then return the Soaked Bundle to Grandpa Zhou. His wine is broken, so he asks for two fresh jars of Sacrificial Wine.
Visit the two bandit camps north and south of the ruins and take the wine off the cart in each one. Meet Grandpa Zhou at the Northern Vow Ruins Boundary Stone and give him the wine to finish.

Cant of the Jianghu
Requirement: You must be carrying the Dragon Crest Token: Wind, which comes from completing The Missing Funds. Without it, the exchange will not trigger.

How to confirm a tale is complete and rewards
A Wandering Tale is done the moment its journal entry moves to completed and the reward pop-up shows your payout. Most mountain tales pay in Echo Jades, Coins, and XP, with a few handing over items like a Dragon Crest Token that unlocks a later tale.
If a tale refuses to start or finish, it is almost always because a required item or skill is missing. Celestial Seize comes from the Foul Play quest and is needed for both A Toast to Heroes and The Missing Funds, while Cant of the Jianghu will not close without the Dragon Crest Token from The Missing Funds. Pick up the exact wine jar, bone, or token named for each tale before returning to the NPC, and the quest will register as complete.
