Where Winds Meet Missing Date Pits Walkthrough

This guide explains how to find and use the Missing Date Pits in the Seedling Temple area of Where Winds Meet. You will learn the exact location of the pits, how to complete the associated quest, and what rewards you can expect. The answer is: the Missing Date Pits are found in the Seedling Temple’s underground water channel, accessible after you solve the nearby pressure plate puzzle.

Background: The Seedling Temple and Its Secrets

The Seedling Temple is a location in the open-world action RPG Where Winds Meet, set in the Song Dynasty. The temple is part of a larger region filled with puzzles, hidden chests, and lore. The Missing Date Pits are a quest item tied to a small side quest involving a monk who lost his snack. The pits are not a major story item, but they are required to complete a local favor and earn reputation points.

The temple itself is a mix of above-ground shrines and underground tunnels. Many players miss the pits because they are tucked away in a corner that is not on the main path. The underground area is also dark, making it easy to overlook the glowing interactable objects.

How to Find the Missing Date Pits

To reach the pits, follow these steps:

1. Fast travel to the Seedling Temple waypoint (the central shrine).
2. Head east from the shrine until you see a small pond with a wooden bridge.
3. Cross the bridge and look for a cracked wall on the right side. Use a heavy attack or a bomb to break it.
4. Enter the opening and follow the tunnel until you reach a room with a pressure plate on the floor.
5. Stand on the pressure plate to open the gate on the far wall.
6. Go through the gate and turn left. The Date Pits are in a small alcove behind a breakable vase.

The pits appear as a small glowing pile of brown objects. Interact with them to pick them up. If you have already broken the vase, they will be visible immediately.

Completing the Quest: Return the Pits

Once you have the pits, return to the monk who asked for them. He is located near the temple’s main entrance, sitting under a large tree. Talk to him and select the dialogue option to give him the pits. He will thank you and reward you with some in-game currency and a small amount of reputation.

If you have already completed the quest before, the pits will not respawn. They are a one-time pickup. If you are doing a new game or a different character, you will need to repeat the steps above.

Common Problems and Solutions

Players often get stuck at the pressure plate puzzle. The gate may not open if you step off the plate too soon. Stay on the plate until the gate is fully open. If the gate is already open but you cannot pass, check for a hidden lever on the wall to the right of the gate.

Another common issue is that the vase does not break. Make sure you are using a charged attack or a skill that can destroy objects. Regular light attacks may not work. Also, some players report that the pits do not appear even after breaking the vase. This is usually because they have already picked them up in a previous visit. The item is not respawnable.

Rewards and Why It Matters

Completing the Missing Date Pits quest grants you:

• 500 coins (in-game currency)
• 20 reputation points with the local faction
• A small amount of experience

While the rewards are modest, the reputation is useful for unlocking discounts at local merchants. Also, completing all side quests in an area often leads to a hidden achievement or a special chest. It is worth doing for completionists.

Comparison: Similar Quests in the Temple

The Seedling Temple has two other similar fetch quests: the Lost Prayer Beads and the Broken Incense Burner. All three involve finding a missing item in the temple grounds. The Date Pits are the easiest to miss because they are underground. The Prayer Beads are in a tree near the back of the temple, and the Incense Burner is in a small shed to the west. If you are doing all three, start with the Date Pits since they take the longest to reach.

Limitations and Notes

This guide is based on the current version of the game. If the game updates and changes the quest, the location may differ. Also, the exact coordinates are not available because the game does not provide a coordinate system. The directions above are relative to the temple’s main shrine, which is a reliable reference point.

One misconception is that the pits are hidden behind a locked door. They are not. The only barrier is the breakable wall and the pressure plate gate. If you have a character with high strength, you can break the wall with a single hit. Otherwise, use a bomb or a heavy weapon.
