Where Winds Meet wraps a big-budget wuxia RPG around a free-to-play style economy. If you want new outfits, convenience perks, or a little less grind, you eventually hit the same fork in the road: how to top up, what to buy, and where to pay.
The game’s premium currency is Echo Beads, and it sits alongside time-limited passes and a monthly subscription-style card. Everything funnels through that system, whether you’re on Steam, Epic, the official PC launcher, or PlayStation.
Where Winds Meet top up basics: Echo Beads, monthly pass, battle pass
Where Winds Meet revolves around three paid layers:
- Echo Beads – the core premium currency used for in-game shop purchases and high-value packs.
- Monthly Pass – a recurring product that usually mixes a one-time bonus with daily log-in rewards.
- Battle Pass – progression track with extra cosmetic and resource rewards, sold in Elite and Premium tiers.
Echo Beads are sold in fixed denominations. On official direct top up, those include 60, 180, 300, 600, 900, 1,800, 3,000, 6,000, and 12,000 Echo Beads, plus separate entries for the Monthly Pass and both Battle Pass tiers.
| Product | Example denomination | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Echo Beads | 60–12,000 | Item shop, bundles, event packs |
| Monthly Pass | 1 unit | Daily Echo Beads or resources over 30 days |
| Elite Battle Pass | 1 unit | Unlocks paid reward track for the current season |
| Premium Battle Pass | 1 unit | Higher tier pass with extra rewards and boosts |
Spending is largely pointed at cosmetics, convenience, and progression speed. Community impressions so far describe the battle pass progression boost as modest rather than game-defining.
Where Winds Meet top up via the official NetEase Top Up Center
The cleanest route into the game’s economy is NetEase’s own payment site. Where Winds Meet has a dedicated top up page inside the broader NetEase Game Club system.
The flow looks like this:
- Visit the official Where Winds Meet top up page.
- Log in with the same NetEase/Game Club account linked to your game profile.
- Select Where Winds Meet if needed, then choose the Echo Beads pack, Monthly Pass, or Battle Pass tier you want.
- Enter the required account identifier (Player UID or Character ID, depending on the flow) and confirm the region/server if prompted.
- Choose a payment method and complete the purchase.
Echo Beads are normally credited to your game account within a short window after payment clears. The same backend handles multiple NetEase titles, from Eggy Party to Identity V, so the interface and payment stack are shared across games.
Where Winds Meet top up on SEAGM (direct Echo Beads and passes)
SEA Gamer Mall (SEAGM) sells direct credit for the global version, targeting players who want more payment flexibility or regional pricing. Where Winds Meet appears twice there: once as the game page and once as a dedicated direct top up product.
On the Where Winds Meet Top Up page, you’ll see a grid of Echo Beads and pass options:
| Product on SEAGM | Echo Beads / type | Example price (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| 60 Echo Beads | 60 | 0.98 |
| 180 Echo Beads | 180 | 2.81 |
| 300 Echo Beads | 300 | 4.73 |
| 600 Echo Beads | 600 | 9.30 |
| 900 Echo Beads | 900 | 14.03 |
| 1,800 Echo Beads | 1,800 | 28.02 |
| 3,000 Echo Beads | 3,000 | 46.52 |
| 6,000 Echo Beads | 6,000 | 93.03 |
| 12,000 Echo Beads | 12,000 | 186.06 |
| Monthly Pass | Subscription-style | 4.73 |
| Elite Battle Pass | Pass | 9.30 |
| Premium Battle Pass | Pass | 18.60 |
The steps are straightforward:
- Pick a denomination or pass.
- Enter your Character ID (SEAGM explicitly needs this, not just an in-game name).
- Select a payment method and check out.
- Wait for SEAGM to process and credit the Echo Beads or pass to your account.
SEAGM leans on global payment options, including PayPal, international cards, Apple Pay, cryptocurrency, and regional solutions like Bakong KHQR. That matters if your bank dislikes Steam or console store transactions, or if local restrictions block direct payments.
Where Winds Meet top up on Kaleoz (marketplace sellers)
Kaleoz is a marketplace rather than a direct retailer. Instead of buying from the platform itself, you choose from a list of third-party sellers offering Echo Beads, Monthly Pass, and Battle Pass top up “via UID.” Where Winds Meet is listed as a global PC game with a dedicated top up section.
On the Where Winds Meet page, products are grouped by type:
| Kaleoz listing | Category | Example price (USD) | Delivery model |
|---|---|---|---|
| 180 Echo Beads top up via UID | Echo Beads | 3.45 | Seller recharges your account directly |
| 300 Echo Beads top up via UID | Echo Beads | 5.64 | Same |
| 600 Echo Beads top up via UID | Echo Beads | 11.28 | Same |
| 900 Echo Beads top up via UID | Echo Beads | 16.92 | Same |
| 1,800 / 3,000 / 12,000 Echo Beads | Echo Beads | Scaled | Same |
| Monthly Pass via UID | Monthly Pass | 5.64 | Seller activates pass on your account |
| Elite Battle Pass via UID | Battle Pass | 10.80–11.44 | Same |
| Premium Battle Pass via UID | Battle Pass | 21.31–22.56 | Same |
The flow is similar across listings:
- Log in or create a Kaleoz account.
- Search for “Where Winds Meet” and filter to the top up category.
- Select a product from a seller with a rating and stock you’re comfortable with.
- Pay through Kaleoz’s system.
- Contact the seller through KChat and provide your UID if requested so they can recharge your account.
Kaleoz pitches itself on price competition between sellers and wide payment coverage. Because you’re effectively authorizing a third party to top up your account, it’s worth paying attention to seller history, ratings, and any marketplace protections in place.
Where Winds Meet top up on Blazing Games (BlazinGM)
Blazing Games (often branded as BlazinGM) is another external route focused on Echo Beads top up. It uses the same structure seen elsewhere: pick a denomination, supply your UID, and let the provider recharge your account.
The Echo Beads flow:
- Choose an Echo Beads amount for Where Winds Meet.
- Enter your Player UID. Server fields aren’t required for the global version.
- Hit “Buy Now” and pick a payment method.
- After payment, Echo Beads are added to your game account via direct recharge.
Blazing Games leans on Southeast Asian payment methods such as FPX, Touch ’n Go, Boost, ShopeePay, GrabPay, and “buy now, pay later” options like SpayLater. That makes it appealing if you’re in a region where traditional cards are inconvenient or blocked for game purchases.
The site also spells out an important boundary: if the game client itself doesn’t show first-top up bonuses, double recharge perks, or other promotional gifts, third-party top up will not magically add those extras. Only the rewards displayed in-game at the moment of purchase are applied.
Finding your Where Winds Meet UID or Character ID
Most non-platform top-up flows ask for a numeric identifier rather than your screen name. Two strings appear repeatedly:
- Player UID – the account-level ID used in several recharge flows.
- Character ID – the in-game character identifier, often requested by SEAGM.
The game exposes this directly in the system menu:
- Log in and load into the world.
- Press ESC to open the system menu.
- Look under your character’s name – the UID appears there and can be copied.
On SEAGM’s flow, that same number is referred to as the Character ID. Either way, always copy–paste rather than typing by hand, and double-check for extra spaces or wrong digits before you pay anyone to recharge your account.
Note: players running the Chinese edition may be asked to complete payment through a separate QR-code path. In those cases, the provider typically routes you through a different flow after you contact support.
Buying through Steam, PlayStation, and official launcher vs. web top up
Where you download the game shapes your payment options. Where Winds Meet runs across the official PC launcher, Steam, the Epic Games Store, and PlayStation.
- Steam and Epic – tie purchases to your platform wallet and its supported payment methods. If PayPal isn’t supported in your region or your bank flags Steam transactions, that can be a problem.
- Official PC launcher – hooks directly into NetEase’s own top up system, which supports web-based payment, including methods that bypass platform-specific issues.
- PlayStation – funnels battle pass and currency purchases through PSN’s store and payment stack, though players have already run into occasional purchase errors.
The safety valve across all platforms is the web-based top up. As long as your game account is linked through NetEase’s account system, you can:
- Use the official NetEase top up page with card or other localized options.
- Pay with external stores like SEAGM, Kaleoz, or Blazing Games using PayPal or regional wallets.
- In Steam’s case, use Steam Wallet gift cards and codes purchased elsewhere, then spend on Echo Beads inside the client.
That flexibility matters if your bank blocks certain merchants, or if specific gateways like PayPal aren’t available on a platform in your country.
What each top up route actually buys you
The top up options differ less in what you receive and more in how you pay and who you trust. The underlying products remain the same.
| Route | Main products | Typical payment options | Who applies the credit |
|---|---|---|---|
| NetEase Top-Up Center | Echo Beads, Monthly Pass, Battle Pass | Cards, regional wallets (varies by region) | NetEase directly |
| SEAGM direct top up | Echo Beads, Monthly Pass, Elite/Premium Battle Pass | PayPal, cards, Apple Pay, crypto, regional methods | SEAGM via in-game recharge |
| Kaleoz marketplace | Echo Beads, Monthly Pass, Battle Pass via UID | Kaleoz-supported methods (varies by country) | Individual marketplace sellers |
| Blazing Games (BlazinGM) | Echo Beads via UID | FPX, TNG, Boost, ShopeePay, GrabPay, SpayLater, etc. | Blazing Games via recharge |
| Steam / Epic / PlayStation stores | Platform-priced Echo Beads and passes | Platform-supported cards, wallets, gift cards | Platform storefronts |
The bigger questions are privacy and account security. Any “via UID” service means someone else is pushing a payment to your account on your behalf. You’re not sharing a password, but you are relying on an extra intermediary.
If you’d rather keep things narrow, the NetEase top up center and your platform’s own store keep everything inside one or two ecosystems. If you care more about regional pricing and alternative payment methods, SEAGM, Kaleoz, and Blazing Games widen the options.
Where Winds Meet leaves a lot of room to play without spending, but once you decide to buy Echo Beads or a pass, the important pieces are simple: know your UID, double-check who you’re paying, and pick the route that fits your bank, region, and risk tolerance. The combat may be about reading enemy patterns; the economy is about reading payment flows just as carefully.
