This issue brings you the beginner's guide to Yan Yun Sixteen Sounds. The game constructs an open yet passionate world of martial arts, filled with stories, companions, and adventures. It can provide everyone with an enjoyable journey through the江湖 (jianghu), but as a newcomer, you might feel a bit lost at the beginning, unsure of how to start. If you have such concerns, be sure to check out the beginner's guide below.

One, Character Creation
When creating a character, you can customize your appearance according to your preferences. After customizing, the most important part is choosing initial traits, which affect initial attributes, and attributes influence skills. Although these can be improved later, it is recommended to choose "Perception" and "Stamina" in the early stages, as they are beneficial for activities like archery and exploration.
Two, Basic Knowledge
Upon entering the game, beginners should start with easy mode and turn on the prompts. Shiny spots indicate interactive elements. It's suggested to gather resources along the way, as they will be useful later. Note that some plants require scaring off animals or using light skills to pick. To obtain meat, simply use a bow to kill animals. Ordinary meat can be used to make health potions, which are quite necessary. Stone tablets found on the roadside serve as teleportation points and health restoration spots. Upon reaching a new location, activate the tablet immediately. Early on, acquiring a horse is recommended for easier exploration. Horses can be obtained from stables or by taking them from NPCs.

Three, Martial Arts and Heart Methods
Martial arts are essential for combat. You can view available martial arts, select one, and click "Go to Obtain" at the bottom right to learn specific ways to acquire them. After obtaining martial arts, you also need powerful heart methods. These can generally be acquired through various quests, learning from masters, and exploring the world. Similar to martial arts, clicking the desired heart method detail page will show acquisition clues.
Four, Sects
Although initially everyone is unaffiliated, joining a sect allows direct access to relevant martial arts, which is faster than learning stealthily. Each sect has different entry requirements. For example, Tianquan requires defeating two members of lower-ranking sects and then finding Zhang Yihao in Fenghe Village to join. You can open the map, click on the sect icon, and view the sect's martial arts, entry clues, and unique techniques. While there are rules to follow after joining, you can also advance and write your own legend.

Five, Exploration and Puzzle Quests
In the early stages, follow the main storyline. Completing Chapter One unlocks Chapter Two, requiring a certain level. At this point, open the quest panel and complete small exploration or puzzle quests, such as collecting ghost fire within a time limit. These tasks are usually simple, and completing them all not only adds experience points but also rewards five cat bells, which can be exchanged for materials in the store.

Six, Level Breakthrough
After reaching level 20, you can break through your world level to continue leveling up. The method is simple; enter the level task and ensure you have the highest-rated equipment and bring potions. In the easy mode level breakthrough task, you can only use health potions twice. After breaking through, continue leveling up to proceed with the main storyline.
Seven, Personal Improvement
Strength comes from equipment and cultivation. Initially, use high-rated equipment; the jade pendant given at the start is golden quality and should be equipped. For equipment enhancement, aim to stack all gear to level 5 for set effects. Cultivation involves spending more time meditating to increase martial arts proficiency, allowing for skill breakthroughs after meditation.

The beginner's guide to Yan Yun Sixteen Sounds ends here. Understanding the above knowledge will make your early game progression smoother. Although each step ahead is uncertain, this path holds countless surprises, and we hope everyone can enjoy the experience.
