Where Winds Meet Pitch Pot Guide: Resolve & Locations

Fix the difficulty before practicing the cursor. Compare Resolve, start with the lowest opponents, search every listed location, then use the control notes only for the reticle pattern actually on your screen.

Pinned answer

Tiny circle? Stop and check Resolve first.

checked 2026-07-16

Pitch Pot is an attribute check disguised as an aim test.

Resolve is the first variable to fix. If your stat is too close to an opponent's listed value, the moving target can feel needlessly strict. Clear a lower row or play Madiao, then return with a larger margin.

Fast route

Resolve 5 opponents → Resolve 8-10 opponents → Madiao if the circle is still too tight → return to the 12+ rows.

Player question

Why is my aiming circle tiny and fast?

Your Resolve is too close to, or below, the opponent's listed value. Clear lower-Resolve Pitch Pots or Madiao tables before retrying.

Player question

Which Pitch Pots should I do first?

Start with Uncle Liang Jiu and Song Huaidi at Resolve 5, then Tao Tingqiao at 8 and the two Resolve 10 rows.

Player question

Why are Misu and Shentu Lang missing?

Their current English location rows use the Disguise: Veil of Love completion gate instead of a normal Resolve requirement.

Jump to answer

Player question

Why does an old guide show a two-player lobby?

That is a 2024 Chinese-client Pitch Pot mode. Current English map guidance centers on NPC challenges with Resolve requirements.

Pitch Pot location finder

Search all 27 listed opponents before opening the map.

16 Qinghe / 11 Kaifeng

Default sorting puts the lowest Resolve rows first. The two Disguise-gated opponents sit at the end because Resolve is not their first blocker. Names, requirements, and Coin lines follow the current English location reference checked on 2026-07-16.

six route bands

Resolve 5-10

Start here

Uncle Liang Jiu, Song Huaidi, Tao Tingqiao, Xie Ran, and Peng Ci

These are the cleanest first checks when the normal Pitch Pot circles feel unreasonably small.

Resolve 12-20

Early route

Lu Wangxi, Li Chengdao, Yuan Yuzang, Yan Ran, and Ming Tiandi

Move into this band after the 5-10 rows stop feeling frantic. Preserve clean hits rather than forcing a higher requirement.

Resolve 22-28

Middle route

Lu Yichao, Elder Hu Zhong, Shi Libo, and Xun Siye

This group bridges the easier Qinghe tables and the high-30s opponents.

Resolve 32-40

Late Qinghe

Drum-Smashing Madman, Yue Renchu, Bu Tianqiong, Sangzai, and Baili Ziu

Do not treat map proximity as difficulty order. Compare the requirement before paying the listed Coin cost.

Resolve 42-52

Kaifeng finish

Heartless, Pang Wu, Xing Ye, Shao Zhan, Meng Feishuang, and Meng Quan

These are the highest listed Resolve rows in the current finder. Return after easier Pitch Pots or Madiao have raised the stat.

Misu and Shentu Lang

Resolve is not the first check for these two rows. Finish Disguise: Veil of Love, then recheck their markers.

Need the bluffing-card rules before using Madiao to raise Resolve? The older source calls the same rules family Leaf Game / Yezi Xi.

Open Madiao rules

How to play

Read the pattern, make small corrections, then release.

10-second aim window

Step 1

Read the requirement before entering

Open the marker or NPC challenge and compare its Resolve value with your current exploration attribute. If the gap is bad, leave and choose a lower row.

Step 2

Identify the active reticle pattern

Current English guidance shows a moving target circle. Older captures also show mouse, keyboard, and dual-reticle variants, so follow the prompts on your screen.

Step 3

Correct in short movements

Keep the required cursor inside its target instead of chasing every edge movement. In dual mode, stabilize one reticle, then make the second correction.

Step 4

Release on the displayed prompt

The current English challenge uses a 10-second aiming window. Press the input shown by your client once the reticle is accepted.

Step 5

Protect the streak

The higher score wins. The older source also records a rising hit combo, so one clean repeatable motion is more valuable than a rushed spectacular correction.

This 2024 Chinese-client capture is useful for recognizing the dual-reticle pattern. Button labels and exact presentation can differ in the current Global client.

Current vs legacy

Why older Pitch Pot guides show a jar, invites, and bets.

do not mix the two flows

Current English NPC challenges

  • Open-world NPC markers in Qinghe and Kaifeng.
  • Resolve comparison plus a listed currency or quest gate.
  • Moving-circle aim with a 10-second window.
  • Completion rewards can include Resolve, Commerce Coin, exploration progress, EXP, and Coin.

2024 Chinese-client social mode

  • Started from a large jar near Huoren Medical Hall.
  • Invited another player before both sides confirmed.
  • Offered no-bet or 10 / 25 / 50 Short Coin stakes.
  • Recorded mouse, keyboard, and dual-reticle variants plus an older combo-scoring panel.

The legacy captures below come from the 2024 article credited to 史官蟲二 / NetEase. They are included only to identify the older Chinese-client interface, not as proof that its lobby or betting flow is still the current Global default.

Large-jar start point

The 2024 Chinese source starts a social Pitch Pot session from a large jar near Huoren Medical Hall. This is not the default route for the current NPC finder.

Retry checklist

Match the symptom to the actual blocker.

eight common fixes

The circle is a pinhole

Sort the finder by Resolve and clear the lowest rows first. Madiao also raises Resolve according to the current exploration-attribute reference.

The target moves too fast

This is usually the same Resolve mismatch, not a hidden sensitivity test. Return when your stat is comfortably above the listed row.

The NPC or marker is missing

Open the correct map layer and filter Activities for Pitch Pot. Recheck the listed landmark, not only the broad subregion name.

The challenge remains locked

Check both the Resolve or quest requirement and the listed Coin line. Misu and Shentu Lang use Disguise: Veil of Love as their first gate.

Two cursors appear

You received the dual-reticle pattern. Mouse and movement keys control different targets; keep both inside their own circles.

The controls do not match this page

Follow the on-screen prompt. Platform, input device, and mode can change the displayed release control.

The NPC score jumps ahead

Avoid a low-percentage recovery throw. Raise Resolve, restart on an easier row, and protect consecutive clean hits.

There is no invite or betting panel

That panel belongs to the older Chinese-client social mode shown below. Current English location rows are NPC challenges.

Rewards and references

Read the live reward panel; use old values only as history.

four current reward families

Resolve

Raises the exploration attribute tied to Pitch Pot and Madiao. Higher Resolve is the main route out of tiny aiming circles.

Commerce Coin

Many opponent rows list Commerce Coin as both a participation cost and completion reward. Check the live panel for the exact amount.

Region Exploration

Current location rows report Qinghe or Kaifeng exploration progress on completion.

EXP and Coin

Current English tables include EXP and Coin among completion rewards, with quantities varying by row.

FAQ

Pitch Pot answers worth checking before another attempt.

9 questions

Why is Pitch Pot so hard in Where Winds Meet?

Pitch Pot difficulty is heavily tied to Resolve. When your Resolve is near or below the opponent's listed requirement, the aiming circle can be much smaller and faster. Clear easier Pitch Pots or Madiao first.

How do I raise Resolve?

The current exploration-attribute reference lists Pitch Pot and Madiao as the two direct sources. Start with the lowest-Resolve opponent rows, or use Madiao when Pitch Pot still feels too strict.

What are the easiest Pitch Pot locations?

The lowest listed rows are Uncle Liang Jiu at Jadebrook Mountain and Song Huaidi at General's Shrine, both at Resolve 5. Tao Tingqiao is Resolve 8; Xie Ran and Peng Ci are Resolve 10.

How many Pitch Pot opponents are listed?

This finder indexes 27 current English rows: 16 in Qinghe and 11 in Kaifeng. Two Kaifeng rows use a quest gate instead of a normal Resolve value.

What does the Resolve number mean?

Resolve is an exploration attribute, while the location table displays a target value beside the participation requirement. Use it as the difficulty comparison; the separate Commerce Coin or Coin line is the listed currency cost.

Why can I not start Misu or Shentu Lang?

Their current location rows require completion of Disguise: Veil of Love. Finish that route before treating the missing challenge as a map or Resolve problem.

Does Pitch Pot require another player?

Current English map guidance focuses on NPC challenges. A 2024 Chinese-client source also documents a separate two-player lobby with invites and optional betting, which is preserved here as legacy context.

What rewards does Pitch Pot give?

Current English location guidance lists Resolve, Commerce Coin, regional exploration progress, EXP, and Coin. Exact quantities vary, so read the live challenge panel before paying a cost.

Are the 10, 25, and 50 Short Coin bets current?

Those values come from the older Chinese-client social mode. Do not assume they apply to current Global NPC challenges unless the same betting panel appears in your client.
