What it is
A voyage-based chest event: you send out voyages (roughly 8 hours each) and open chests using earned slots, working toward map fragments and a milestone reward.
Key Rules
- Never open singles — always wait until you have enough for a bulk/batch open rather than opening one chest at a time, since batch opens are more efficient
- Time your compass/voyage launches so they complete when you're actually online to claim and relaunch — a voyage sitting finished and unclaimed wastes potential launches
- F2P milestone target: commonly cited around 20 voyages completed as a reasonable free-to-play goal for this event's cycle
Prep checklist
- Launch voyages as soon as slots free up rather than letting them sit idle
- Save chests to open in batches, not one at a time
- Track your progress toward the ~20-voyage F2P milestone
Teaching point for new members
Windward Voyage is about keeping your voyage slots always working — relaunch as soon as one finishes, and never open chests one at a time, always batch them.
