  "textContent": "The **Voyage of Lanterns** event in _Where Winds Meet_ revolves around gathering a small set of crafting materials used to assemble parts of a lantern boat. These materials do not appear as standard world resources. Instead, they drop through a limited daily reward system tied to normal gameplay actions.\n\n**Quick answer:** After placing the boat hull and speaking with the event NPC again, event materials begin dropping randomly from everyday activities like looting, harvesting, or spending energy, with a maximum of 10 materials earned per day.\n\nImage credit: __NetEase (via YouTube/@Martadinata Games)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Voyage of Lanterns materials\n\nThe event uses a fixed set of crafting materials required for building lantern boat components. Each piece you construct consumes a combination of these items.\n\n  * **Xuan paper**\n  * **Ink**\n  * **Lucky coin**\n  * **Twine**\n  * **Candle**\n\n\n\nEvery material belongs exclusively to the event. They do not appear in normal crafting recipes and only drop while the event is active.\n\nImage credit: __NetEase (via YouTube/@Martadinata Games)__\n\n* * *\n\n### How the Voyage of Lanterns material drop system works\n\nMaterial acquisition begins only after the event setup step is complete. The lantern boat hull must be placed first. When you speak to the event NPC again after placing the hull, the event menu updates and activates the material drop system.\n\nFrom that point forward, materials can appear during ordinary gameplay actions. The system treats them as bonus drops tied to routine activities rather than dedicated farming nodes.\n\nActions that can generate materials include:\n\n  * **Looting objects** in the world\n  * **Gathering harvestable resources** on the map\n  * **Spending energy** while performing activities\n\n\n\nSome activities convert energy use directly into event progress. For example, spending around 20 energy during activities can produce a material reward. Gathering multiple items during normal resource collection can also trigger drops.\n\nEach drop is random. You cannot target a specific material, such as Ink or Lucky Coin, through a particular activity.\n\nMaterial acquisition begins only after the event setup step is complete | Image credit: __NetEase (via YouTube/@Martadinata Games)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Daily material limit\n\nThe event enforces a strict daily cap.\n\nYou can earn **up to 10 Voyage of Lanterns materials per day**. Once this limit is reached, additional gameplay actions will not produce more event materials until the daily reset.\n\nThis cap applies to the total number of materials earned, not to individual material types. A day’s rewards might include duplicates or several different items, depending on random drops.\n\nBecause the system is random, some players may receive many copies of one material while missing another during a given day.\n\nSome players may receive many copies of one material while missing another during a given day | Image credit: __NetEase (via YouTube/@Martadinata Games)__\n\n* * *\n\n### Material sharing with friends\n\nThe event includes a built‑in exchange system that allows players to give extra materials to friends and receive missing ones.\n\nMaterial trading is handled directly inside the event interface.\n\n**Step 1:** Open the event panel and select **Voyage of Lanterns**.\n\n**Step 2:** Click the **Obtain Materials** button located in the lower right portion of the event window.\n\n**Step 3:** Use the **Give** or **Collect** tabs to send materials to friends or receive materials they share.\n\nThis system helps offset the random drop distribution. If you repeatedly receive one item while lacking another, exchanging materials with friends can fill the gap.\n\nImage credit: __NetEase (via YouTube/@Martadinata Games)__\n\n* * *\n\n### How build progress works in the event\n\nBoat construction milestones track the number of individual components built rather than the number of complete boats.\n\nEach time you craft a single part of the lantern boat, the game counts it as one build toward event progress. As long as materials are available, you can continue crafting parts to advance the milestone rewards.\n\nLogging in regularly during the event period and collecting the daily material cap usually provides enough resources to finish the build milestones without heavy grinding.\n\n* * *\n\nThe key to completing the Voyage of Lanterns event is consistency. Gather materials during routine gameplay each day, trade extras with friends if needed, and convert them into boat parts as soon as possible to keep progress moving.",
