To acquire the free Version 2.3 cosmetics in Where Winds Meet, complete Qingzhou seasonal event quests and regional milestones to claim the Heming outfit variants. If you want the autumn-themed Rustling Red Leaves ensemble and its matching weapon appearance, you must purchase the premium Battle Pass track and advance its milestone levels before the seasonal cycle ends.
Version 2.3 Cosmetic Overview
Version 2.3 splits its featured attires between gameplay-earned event rewards and a tiered seasonal pass. The Heming series requires no premium currency, while the Rustling Red Leaves cosmetic set is exclusive to the paid Battle Pass track.
| Cosmetic Set or Item | Acquisition Route | Requirement | Visual Theme |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heming: Jade Resonance | Event & regional milestones | In-game activity points | White silk with jade embroidery |
| Heming: Lotus Mist | Seasonal exploration tasks | Exploration progress & exchange tokens | Darker trim with lotus drapery |
| Rustling Red Leaves | Version 2.3 Battle Pass | Paid pass track & milestone levels | Crimson autumn foliage and leather |
| Pass Weapon Skin | Version 2.3 Battle Pass | Advanced paid milestone tier | Autumn steel finish with leaf tassels |
How to Unlock the Free Heming Outfits
The Heming line—encompassing the Jade Resonance and Lotus Mist variants—is available to all players through the Qingzhou regional update. You do not need to spend ingots, pearls, or gacha currency to acquire either set.
To unlock them, work through the seasonal interface:
- Clear Seasonal Event Quests: Open the limited-time event menu and complete the Qingzhou prologue and encounter objectives to earn event redemption vouchers.
- Increase Regional Prestige: Explore the Qingzhou map, clear local objectives, and open regional chests to raise your area milestone rank. Reaching specific prestige ranks grants direct outfit reward boxes.
- Redeem Remaining Pieces at the Exchange: If your milestone rewards yield outfit exchange tokens instead of an automatic set box, take the accrued currency to the seasonal event merchant to purchase the missing pieces before the version reset.
Battle Pass: Rustling Red Leaves
The Version 2.3 Battle Pass features the Rustling Red Leaves attire and matching seasonal weapon skins. Progressing through the pass requires accumulating experience through standard daily and weekly routines.
Free Track vs. Paid Track
The free pass track awards character development materials, progression consumables, and auxiliary currencies. However, the Rustling Red Leaves garment and the leaf-tasseled weapon skins sit exclusively on the premium track. If you do not buy the pass upgrade, you will not receive the cosmetic pieces regardless of your tier level. Check your current tier progress before purchasing late in the patch to confirm you can reach the main garment node.
Efficient Pass Leveling
You can advance the Battle Pass without grinding high-tier endgame raids exclusively:
- Daily Commissions: Turn in daily assignments to secure a consistent baseline of daily pass experience.
- Weekly Dungeon Allowances: Clear your weekly cooperative or five-player dungeon runs for large, lump-sum experience drops.
- Qingzhou Open-World Exploration: Gathering high-tier crafting materials and opening elite regional chests provide supplementary pass experience to close level gaps quickly.
Customization and Dyeing
Both the Heming sets and the Rustling Red Leaves outfit support the in-game wardrobe system:
- Modular Mixing: Robes, inner tunics, footwear, and headpieces occupy independent slots and can be paired with previously owned wardrobe items.
- Open-World Dyes: The Heming series accepts standard dye recipes. You can gather floral pigments and craft dyes through local alchemy to alter fabric colors without spending premium dye tokens.
End-of-Cycle Checklist
To avoid losing seasonal progress before Version 2.3 concludes:
- Spend Event Tokens: Redeem all accumulated Qingzhou vouchers at the event store, as unspent event tokens typically convert into standard coin at low exchange rates.
- Manually Claim Pass Tiers: Open the Battle Pass interface and claim all unlocked reward nodes to prevent unclaimed items from being routed to temporary mail storage.
- Apply Crafted Dyes: Finalize your desired dye patterns while current craft recipes remain highlighted in regional workshop menus.

I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
This guide answered the exact question I had.
