How to Unlock Lightness Skills
Lightness skills are advanced abilities earned later in the game, showcasing your exploration skills after spending time in Qinghe, Kaifeng, and other regions.
Some basic movement skills are available from the start, making travel easier, but more stylish Lightness Skills require effort to unlock. Before you can use these skills, you’ll need to collect special items called Afterglow items.
Where to Find Afterglow Items
These items include the Afterglow Pendant for Qinghe and the Flight Medallion for Kaifeng. You’ll unlock them once your exploration level reaches four in each respective region. These items are rewards for reaching certain exploration milestones, and look like this:
- Afterglow Pendant (Qinghe)
- Flight Medallion (Kaifeng)
