Floating Cloud Cover is one of the many Injustice quests in Where Winds Meet. These are short, self-contained side tasks that pop up in fixed spots across the world, and they usually ask you to step in and help an NPC who is being wronged, tricked, or troubled in some way. Because they are grouped under the Sentient Beings encounters, they behave the same way wherever you find them, which makes them quick to clear once you know the pattern.
Quick answer: Approach the quest marker, talk to the affected NPC, and finish the task it prompts using the mystic skill it calls for. The quest closes on its own once the objective is met and pays out Echo Jade, Oscillating Jade, coins, and EXP.
How Injustice quests trigger in Where Winds Meet
Injustice quests start when you walk into a specific location and get close to the NPC tied to that encounter. Most begin the moment you accept a short dialogue prompt, and some can appear more than once in different spots across a region. They are spread through Qinghe, Kaifeng, and Hexi, so the same quest name can show up in several areas.
A handful of these encounters only unlock after you clear a prerequisite. Certain Kaifeng Injustice quests, for example, require you to finish related campaign or worldly affairs chapters first. If a marker is on the map but the quest will not begin, you likely still have a gating quest to complete, or you have not yet reached the area exploration percentage that reveals it.
Mystic skills you will use
Most Injustice quests hinge on one of a few mystic skills or on straightforward combat. The prompt on screen tells you which one the situation needs, so read the objective before acting.
| Skill or action | What it does in these quests |
|---|---|
| Meridian Touch | Heals or immobilizes NPCs, used to cure ailments or freeze a target so someone can be caught or helped. |
| Celestial Seize | Pulls objects toward you from a distance, such as snatching coins or retrieving a lost item. |
| Wind Sense | Turns the screen grayscale and reveals glowing footprints so you can track a missing person. |
| Combat | Defeat bandits, thugs, wolves, or bears that are harassing an NPC, then speak to them again. |
Rewards for clearing an Injustice quest
Injustice quests pay out a consistent bundle when you finish them. Completing one also boosts your Compendium points, and each reward track hands over more Echo Jade as your accumulated points hit higher milestones.
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Echo Jade | 8 |
| Oscillating Jade | 2 |
| Coins | 1,000 |
| Character EXP | 1,000 |
| Regional Exploration | 5 |
Note: A small number of Injustice encounters pay out a slightly different mix, such as a reduced Echo Jade count alongside a crafting material like Ebon Iron. The bundle above is the standard payout for the majority of these quests.
How to confirm the quest is complete
You will know Floating Cloud Cover is done when the objective clears and the reward pop-up appears on screen listing Echo Jade, Oscillating Jade, coins, and EXP. The quest then leaves your tracker automatically, and the encounter is marked as finished in your Injustice log. If the objective will not advance, check that you are using the exact skill the prompt asks for and that any required NPC or target is still in the encounter area.
Because Injustice quests are quick and grounded in the same handful of mechanics, Floating Cloud Cover comes down to reaching its marker, reading the prompt, and applying the right skill or clearing the fight. Once the reward screen shows, you are free to move on to the next encounter.
