In Where Winds Meet, “QR codes” are more than a meme from the launch livestream. They are a built-in way to save and share character faces, outfits, and appearance presets across accounts and platforms. If you have seen people trading face QR codes or long face data strings, they are using the game’s share system, not a hidden gacha trick.
Where Winds Meet QR codes vs. redeem codes
Two different code systems exist in Where Winds Meet, and they are easy to mix up:
| Type | What it does | Where you use it | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redeem / exchange code | Grants rewards like Echo Jade, items, or cosmetics. | Settings → Other → Exchange Code (in-game). |
WWMGO1114 for 100 Echo Jade and 1 Resonating Melody. |
| Face / appearance QR code or share code | Stores character appearance data (face, makeup, dyes, etc.). | Character creation / appearance editor share interface. | QR image or a long string such as wwm_facedata_R37_... |
Redeem codes are one-time global promo codes that arrive during streams or milestones and are entered through the “Exchange Code” option. The launch livestream code, for example, is WWMGO1114 (often mistyped as WWMG01114), which delivers 100 Echo Jade and a Resonating Melody.
Face QR codes and share codes never give currency or items. They simply recreate another player’s appearance on your account.
How face sharing codes and QR codes work
Where Winds Meet lets you export your current appearance into a code any time you are in an appearance editor. That includes:
- Initial character creation after the intro sequence.
- Later face adjustments.
- Clothing dye and color presets.
Each export generates:
- A text “share code” (a long string that starts with something like
wwm_facedata_...). - An optional image file that encodes the same data as a QR code.
You can choose to share only certain layers of your look. For example, you can export just your clothing dye settings without your facial structure, or only makeup details.
How to generate a Where Winds Meet face QR code
The game’s UI labels are simple, and the share flow is always accessed from the appearance screen. The path is effectively the same whether you are using character creation or a later customization point.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Finish adjusting your character’s appearance in the editor (face, makeup, hair, outfit, or dyes). |
| 2 | Click the Share button on the right side of the appearance screen. |
| 3 | In the share menu, select the first option at the top, which is the preset/appearance share option. |
| 4 | Press Share to generate a share code. The text code is copied automatically to your clipboard. |
| 5 | Optionally use Save Image to create a QR code image file for the same appearance data. |
Paste the copied text into a note app or message before leaving the game so you do not lose it. The saved image can be posted on a message board, shared in a Discord, or uploaded wherever players trade appearances.
How to use a Where Winds Meet face QR code or share code
The game supports both scanning QR images and pasting share code strings, but the exact on-screen prompts vary slightly between platforms. The basic idea is always the same: you open the appearance editor and import instead of editing from scratch.
| Scenario | What to do with the code |
|---|---|
| You have a long text share code | Copy the code to your clipboard, open the appearance editor, choose the import/face sharing option, and paste the code into the text input to apply it. |
| You have a QR code image | Open the appearance editor and look for the QR/import option; select it and follow the prompt to read the QR code so the game can apply the appearance. |
| You only want part of the preset (e.g., dyes) | Before confirming, deselect unwanted layers if the import screen allows it, then apply only the relevant components. |
On PC, importing usually involves a paste field or a file picker. On PS5, you may rely more on QR scanning via a connected device or using text input for share codes that others have posted as plain text.
Where Winds Meet redeem codes and where they fit in
While face QR codes handle appearance data, redeem codes are still worth knowing about because they are often shown in the same livestreams and social posts.
The launch code tied to the global livestream is WWMGO1114. Redeeming it gives:
- Echo Jade ×100
- Resonating Melody ×1
Redeem codes are entered in-game:
| Step | Menu path |
|---|---|
| 1 | Launch the game and load into your character. |
| 2 | Open the main menu and select the gear icon to open Settings. |
| 3 | Go to the last tab, labeled Other. |
| 4 | Under Account Info, choose Exchange Code. |
| 5 | Enter the code (for example, WWMGO1114) and confirm. |
| 6 | Open your in-game mailbox from the main HUD and claim the reward mail. |
These codes work on both PC and PS5 versions of the global release. They are one-time per account and may expire without notice.
How QR codes, face sharing, and cross-progression fit together
Where Winds Meet supports cross-progression between platforms as long as you link your accounts before creating characters on the new platform.
| Cross-progression detail | What it means for QR codes |
|---|---|
| Single account across PC, PS5, and future platforms | You can apply the same face share code or QR preset on multiple devices, as long as they log into the same account. |
| Account linking required before character creation | Link accounts from the title screen via User Center → Link Account first; then import faces on the new platform. |
| Two accounts with existing characters cannot be linked | QR codes still work to mimic appearances, but cross-progression of progression data will not merge. |
Face QR codes are purely cosmetic, so they do not bypass any of the cross-progression rules. They simply let you keep a consistent look even if you start over on another platform.
Why Where Winds Meet QR codes are everywhere on social media
The game leans heavily into visual identity and cosmetics rather than pay-to-win power. You can earn full outfits, accessories, and dyes through events and gameplay without spending money. On top of that, weapon skins have multi-slot customization systems where you roll colors, patterns, accessories, and visual effects.
Because so much of the experience revolves around how your character looks, players have started treating face share codes and QR images as a kind of trading card: creators post presets, others import them, tweak them, and repost variations. That is why “Where Winds Meet face QR code” clips have flooded platforms like TikTok.
When you see a QR grid on a stream or a social post labeled with character names or anime references, it is almost always an appearance preset generated from the in-game share feature described above. Scanning or importing it will not give you currency or items; it will just reconstruct that exact face or outfit layout on your character.
If you are searching for “where winds meet QR code” to claim free currency, you are probably looking for redeem codes like WWMGO1114 and the Exchange Code option in Settings. If you are chasing a specific look you saw online, you want the face sharing system: generate or import share codes and QR images from the appearance editor, then make them your own.
