The choice of sect in Wind Walker directly affects the player's growth path and resource consumption efficiency, especially for free-to-play and low-spending players. It is necessary to make a comprehensive decision based on playstyle preferences and cultivation costs. If you are a beginner and haven't chosen a sect yet, you can refer to this guide on choosing a sect for free-to-play players in Wind Walker. This article, based on practical testing, analyzes the core differences between the Martial Sect and the Magic Sect, as well as the corresponding operational details, to help players achieve a leap in combat power at the lowest cost.

For free-to-play players, I recommend using the Magic Sect. As a long-range magic damage dealer, its skills have a wide range and come with group control effects (such as the chain lightning from Heavenly Thunder or the slowing effect from Ice Prison), making it 30%-50% more efficient than the Martial Sect in clearing stages. The daily idle income is tied to the progress in the main storyline; the AOE capabilities of the Magic Sect can clear all monsters in the Flowing Fire State map within 1 minute, while the Martial Sect needs over 2 minutes to defeat them one by one. In the early game, prioritize cultivating the Storm Vortex skill, which has an area damage coefficient of 180%. Pair it with the Black Ice Grass grown in the herb garden (which takes 28 minutes to mature) to steadily produce Nine Turns Soul Concentration Pills, accelerating the breakthrough to the Core Formation stage.

The order of cave construction should be: Pill Furnace > Herb Garden > Refining Table. After upgrading the Pill Furnace to level 7, you can unlock the refining of purple pills. Use the free daily attempts to refine Nine Turns Soul Concentration Pills, with the main material, Black Ice Grass, needing to be grown in a level 4 Herb Garden. The Tai Xu Spirit Marrow obtained from the weekly Lingjing Rank Grab event must be stored, keeping at least 3 for breaking through the bottleneck to the Nascent Soul stage. Daily, buy discounted Cultivation Pills (priced at 120 Spirit Stones each) and Blue Granite (cave materials) from the Spirit Stone Shop. Other resources should be prioritized for exchanging Artifact Spirit Ascension Stones in the Creation Shop.

The core artifact spirits for the Magic Sect are the Eight Trigrams Furnace (which accelerates pill refining by 30%) and Miao Miao (for critical hit builds). The former reduces the maturation time of Black Ice Grass to 20 minutes, while the latter increases critical hit damage by 25%. For equipment, choose the Nine Heavens Staff (+25% Magic Attack) and the Cloudflow Robe (+18% Magic Power). Weapon attributes should prioritize Magic Penetration > Critical Hit Rate. After reaching the 50th floor of the Soul Suppressing Tower, the Xuan Tian Cauldron (which increases cultivation gain by 10%) will be unlocked. Grind the tower daily until you reach a combat power bottleneck, and blue skill manuals will drop, used to enhance basic attributes. For low-spending players, the first recharge reward should be the Divine Flame of Li Huo, whose burning effect synergizes with the Magic Sect's fire-based skills, increasing damage by 15%. On the 15th day of monthly sign-ins, red artifact spirit fragments are rewarded.

Mastering the rhythm of resource circulation can elevate your cultivation progress to the next level. You can even break through to the Deity Transformation stage in a relatively short period and potentially surpass mid-tier spending players in combat power.
