Wo Long Fallen Dynasty: BEST Qi Farming Methods

Whether you have mastered the combat or not, Farming Qi is vital as it will help you quickly min-max your character's stats!

Farming Qi in Wo Long Fallen Dynasty is by no means an easy task, as the souls-borne-like combat can punish you whilst you’re grinding for this currency. Qi is essentially the experience points that you can obtain by defeating enemies and bosses as well as through other means too while exploring and completing missions. There are a couple of ways to farm it efficiently. Still, they all involve carefully fighting the specific enemies we have mentioned, as well as exploring each part of the level thoroughly.

Important: It is vital that before attempting each farming route, make sure to grab the banner flag checkpoints near the enemies as it will heal you and save your progress so in case you happen to die, your character will respawn to the nearest flag.
Before You Start: The farming strategies that we have mentioned specifically take place during missions located in the 2nd part as well as the 4th part of the main campaign, so keep that in mind before you attempt the Qi farming methods.
Key Takeaways

Genuine Qi is one of the main currencies in the game, which in layman’s terms, are experience points that players can earn in order to level up the virtues and upgrade the stats of their character.

Farming Methods:

  1. Early Game: Repeat runs of killing Suanyu in a Part 2 mission for quick Qi accumulation.
  2. Mid-to-Late Game: Farm Zhupolong in Part 4 missions for substantial Qi rewards.
  3. Alternate Method: Hunt Zhupolong in underground caverns of Part 4 missions for Qi.

  • A few notable tips and tricks that players can keep in mind are that they can increase their genuine qi gains by equipping a certain enchantment as well as discover items that can reward them with Qi.

Early-Game Farming

First things first, we are starting off with one of the best early-game Qi farms, which will undoubtedly help players min-max their character virtue levels during the first half of the campaign.

To maximize character virtue early in the campaign, consider this Qi farming method in the “Valley of the Crying Wraiths.”

  1. Location: The mission is found in the 2nd part of the map as a ‘Main Battlefield’ mission, so you won’t miss it.
  2. Suanyu Encounter: When you reach a platform resembling an arena, you’ll face a formidable bird-like beast called Suanyu. Prepare before the fight.
  3. Checkpoint: Capture a nearby banner flag for a respawn point if you die. It’s across a small broken bridge from the platform.

  4. Shortcut: Alternatively, progress through the mission and unlock a shortcut to return easily to the boss fight area later.
  5. Strategy: Suanyu initially has higher morale. To counter this, you can stealthily reset the encounter via the banner flag and attempt a fatal sneak attack from behind. Killing other enemies in the mission can also raise your morale rank.
  6. Rewards: Defeating Suanyu grants close to 1800 Qi per run, totaling around 150,000 to 200,000 Qi per hour with practice.

This farming method becomes more efficient and faster with repeated runs.

Late-Game Farming – Darkness Over The Hanshui River

In the late-game mission “Darkness over the Hanshui River,” you can employ a highly effective farming strategy.

  1. Mission Details: This strategy is suitable for late-game missions in Part 4, assuming you’re comfortable with combat mechanics.
  2. Zhupolong Encounter: In this mission, near the end, you’ll find a small puddle with a red crystallized formation. Approaching it triggers an encounter with Zhupolong, a crocodile-like demon, your primary Qi source.
  3. Flag Checkpoint: Before approaching Zhupolong for the first time, secure the checkpoint flag located at the area’s entrance. It’s crucial for efficient farming.

  4. Rewards: Defeating Zhupolong yields over 8000 Qi per kill. Spending about 10 minutes farming can net you 100,000+ Qi for virtue level investment.
  5. Combat Strategy: Upon Zhupolong’s ambush, immediately deflect its attack as it emerges. Then, swiftly eliminate it using flame-imbued weapon attacks, preferably a sword or saber. Dodge or deflect its claw swipes, and if you’re powerful enough, defeat it before it launches dangerous attacks.
  6. Farming Loop: After each kill, return to the flag and reset the instance to repeat the farming process.

The name of the mission is shown in the image depicted above, which is called “Tyrant’s Final Banquet” and can be found in Part 4 of the campaign on the map. The following Qi farming method we have for you here is relatively similar to the previous one in which we kill the Zhupolong enemies of the Wo Long Fallen Dynasty.

  1. Mission Location: This mission can be found in Part 4 of the campaign map.
  2. Farming Area: Head towards the end of the mission, where you descend into an underground chasm and labyrinth-like area.

  4. Unlocking the Path: To reach the Zhupolong farming area, initially locked by a door, head to the right from the checkpoint flag. Open the gate from the other side.

  5. Zhupolong Farming: Proceed to the room with Zhupolong and use the strategy mentioned earlier to defeat it.
  6. Farming Loop: Now, you have an easier path to and from the enemy for repeated farming sessions.

Utilize the same tactics as before to efficiently farm Qi in this mission.
