One attempt adds one matching reward; it does not double everything.

Official rules checked 2026-07-15

Season-End Dash: Blessings & Emoluments runs from July 16 at 05:00 to July 23 at 04:59:59, all in UTC+8. Once the event is live, qualifying Energy spends automatically remove Double Reward attempts and add one matching activity reward.

Finish A Horse Neighs in the Forest - Still Shorefirst. Then check the live attempt counter before spending Energy: the official overview promises a Friday refill, but does not separately state an opening-day grant.

Focused excerpt from the official Version 1.8 overview. The event text is reproduced here as visual evidence, not rewritten into a broader all-loot promise.

Reward conversion

Use the listed Energy lanes; ignore the word "double" by itself.

Automatic deduction

The event is a conversion rule, not a blanket modifier. The safest check is: eligible activity, enough attempts, listed Energy spend, then one extra matching reward on the result screen.

ActivityScopeEnergy unitAttempts spentWhat the source promises
Campaign or OutpostJoint Battle is explicitly included20 Energy1 attempt1 extra Campaign or Outpost reward
Sword TrialHandled as its own conversion60 Energy3 attempts1 extra Sword Trial reward
Anything elseOpen world, shops, quests, and non-Energy lootNot listedNo official deduction ruleDo not assume an extra reward

Automatic:there is no separate "use attempt" button in the published rule.

Sword Trial: one run consumes three attempts, not one.

Boundary: non-Energy and unlisted activities have no official extra-reward promise.

Time conversion

For North America and Europe, the event begins on July 15.

Official schedule is UTC+8

Daylight-saving labels above are specific to July 2026. If your region changes clocks or the server posts maintenance, use the live event timer rather than reusing this table for a later event.

Attempt planning

Thirty attempts cover 600 qualifying Energy, however you split it.

Friday refill

The official overview adds 30 attempts every Friday at 05:00 UTC+8. During this published window, that checkpoint is July 17. Check the live counter at that moment before planning the full week.

Sixty-attempt cap

Rollover preserves unused attempts only within the published event rules. The bank still cannot exceed 60, and the July 23 end remains the hard boundary unless an official notice extends it.

Before the first run

Six checks prevent most wasted-Energy mistakes.

One clean test, then repeat

  1. 01

    Finish Still Shore before the window

    The official gate is Qinghe Main Chapter: A Horse Neighs in the Forest - Still Shore. A high character level does not replace this named story requirement.

  2. 02

    Wait for the live start, not the local calendar date

    The event opens July 16 at 05:00 UTC+8, which is still July 15 in North America and much of Europe. Spending Energy before that instant cannot use this event.

  3. 03

    Read the live attempt counter first

    The official overview states that 30 attempts are added every Friday at 05:00 and caps the bank at 60. It does not separately promise a Thursday opening grant, so the client counter is the answer for your starting balance.

  4. 04

    Choose the reward lane before entering

    Use Campaign or Outpost, including Joint Battle, for the 20-Energy conversion. Use Sword Trial only when you are willing to spend three attempts with a 60-Energy run.

  5. 05

    Check the result screen and counter together

    A qualifying spend should deduct attempts automatically and add one matching activity reward. Confirm both pieces before repeating the same run many times.

  6. 06

    Make room before a refill if the counter is near 60

    The official maximum is 60 attempts. Do not assume a Friday addition can overcap the bank; use the live timer and counter to decide whether to spend first.

Nothing doubled?

Check the event state, attempt bank, activity, and result line.

Seven common failures

What happenedWhat to verify
The event is missingConfirm the UTC+8 start time and finish Still Shore. Then reopen the live Events panel after changing maps or relogging; a local July 16 date alone does not prove the server window has opened.
My attempt counter is zero on ThursdayDo not invent an opening allocation. The official text guarantees 30 attempts every Friday at 05:00 UTC+8, while the event begins Thursday. Check the in-client counter again at the listed refill time.
I spent Energy but received no extra rewardVerify that the event is live, the counter is above zero, and the activity is Campaign, Outpost, Joint Battle, or Sword Trial. The announcement does not cover every Energy use in the game.
Sword Trial removed three attemptsThat is the stated rule: 60 Energy in Sword Trial automatically spends three attempts for one extra Sword Trial reward.
Only one reward line was addedThe event promises one extra matching activity reward. It does not say every item, first-clear reward, chest, currency line, or unrelated drop is doubled separately.
Friday did not raise the counter by a full 30Check whether the bank was already close to the 60 maximum. The official wording permits up to 60 obtainable attempts, so a refill is not evidence for an overcap balance.
I expected unused attempts after July 23The overview says unused attempts roll into the next week, but the published event window still ends July 23 at 04:59:59 UTC+8. Do not treat rollover wording as an extension beyond the event end.

Season-End Dash FAQ

When does Season-End Dash start in Where Winds Meet?

Season-End Dash: Blessings & Emoluments starts July 16, 2026 at 05:00 UTC+8. That is July 15 at 14:00 PDT, 17:00 EDT, 21:00 UTC, 22:00 BST, and 23:00 CEST.

When does the Where Winds Meet double-reward event end?

The published end is July 23, 2026 at 04:59:59 UTC+8. In North America and Europe, that falls on July 22.

How do Double Reward attempts work?

A qualifying 20 Energy spent in Campaign or Outpost, including Joint Battle, automatically spends one attempt for one extra matching reward. A 60-Energy Sword Trial spends three attempts for one extra Sword Trial reward.

Does Season-End Dash double every reward?

No broad all-loot promise appears in the official overview. It states that one extra Campaign or Outpost reward, or one extra Sword Trial reward, is granted through the listed automatic attempt conversion.

How many Double Reward attempts do players receive?

The official overview says 30 attempts are added every Friday at 05:00 UTC+8, the bank can hold at most 60, and unused attempts roll into the next week. It does not separately define an opening-day grant, so check the live counter.

What quest is required for Season-End Dash?

Complete the Qinghe Main Chapter quest A Horse Neighs in the Forest - Still Shore before trying to use the event.

Does Joint Battle count for double rewards?

Yes. The official Campaign or Outpost rule explicitly includes Joint Battle.

Do unused attempts remain after the event ends?

The source says unused attempts roll into the next week, but it also publishes a July 23 end. Without an official extension, use the live event end as the hard boundary and do not plan on post-event attempts.

This page deliberately leaves out reward-item values, drop tables, and "best activity" rankings. The official notice defines the extra-reward conversion, not the value of every possible run.
