Where Winds Meet – How to Get a Light Source

Where Winds Meet requires that you make your way through dark caves, wilderness at night, and even unlit dungeons. But you don't start with a light, so you will need to learn how to unlock Glow of Fireflies, the only light source in the game.

Where Winds Meet is a massive open-world RPG with hidden gems all over its map. In order to explore every nook and cranny, you will need weapons, healing items, and a lot of time on your hands. However, there is one more thing you will want when underground or out at night: a light source.

This light source can be summoned at almost anytime using the Mystic Arts wheel, but you need fireflies to unlock it. This Support art has a nearly-unlimited uses, and it lasts for 30 seconds at a time.
