How to Access Summer Spree
Open the Main Menu and enter the Events section. Select Summer Spree to access its event page, where you can switch between Beat the Heat, Summer Skirmishes, Summer Cookout, and Summer Daily.
Beat the Heat and Summer Cookout require tutorial quests before their full activities become available.
Beat the Heat Guide
Beat the Heat is one of the main Summer Spree activities. It focuses on cooling overheated NPCs and heat-prone areas with the limited-time Ever-Cold Heart Mystic Skill.
To unlock Beat the Heat, open its page from the Summer Spree menu and follow the quest marker to the bamboo grove west of the Halo Peak Boundary Stone in Qinghe's Sundara Land.
At the marked location, approach the nearby NPCs and speak with Xia Shu, a Nine Mortal Ways disciple. The tutorial introduces Liang Liang, who has collapsed because of the heat.
Completing this tutorial opens the full Beat the Heat activity.
Beat the Heat Objectives and Rewards
Task | How to Complete | Reward |
|---|---|---|
Use Ever-Cold Heart once | Equip the skill and activate it near a valid target | Lingering Melody x1 |
Use Icy Treat to relieve heat | Use an Icy Treat on yourself or a target in the event area | Legendary Melodic Stone: Fieryheart |
Enter overheated status once | Remain inside a hot area without cooling yourself | Echo Jade x20 |
After the tutorial, additional heat-prone areas appear as part of the activity. Travel to these locations and use Ever-Cold Heart to cool them and increase your event progress.
How Ever-Cold Heart Works
Ever-Cold Heart is a limited-time Mystic Skill used during Summer Spree.
The skill can be equipped through the Gear menu. When activated, it creates snow around your character and can be used to cool NPCs, environmental heat sources, and other targets connected to Beat the Heat objectives.
Ever-Cold Heart expires when Summer Spree ends on August 20, 2026, so any objectives requiring the skill should be completed before the event closes.
The skill has a cooldown between uses. Moving toward your next heat-related objective while the skill is unavailable can make Beat the Heat more efficient.
Heat-prone areas appear around Qinghe's Sundara Land and portions of the Hidden Mountain region. Locations closer to Boundary Stones are generally easier to reach because fast travel reduces the time spent moving between objectives.
Larger heat zones may require several Ever-Cold Heart activations before their cooling progress is complete.
Summer Skirmishes Guide
Summer Skirmishes is the boss challenge activity in Summer Spree.
The main feature of this activity is the option to give food to certain bosses instead of defeating them through normal combat. This can significantly reduce the time required to complete the event objectives.
Boss | Location | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
Lucky Seventeen | Marked on the event map | Give food or fight normally |
Ye Wanshan | Marked on the event map | Use food for a faster completion |
Tian Ying | Event challenge target | Give food or fight |
Murong Yuan | Event challenge target | Give food or fight |
Guo Xin | Event challenge target | Give food or fight |
Boss locations are shown through the event interface. When approaching a boss, you may be able to give food, prepare food, or fight normally.
Using food is generally the simplest method for players who want to complete Summer Skirmishes quickly without relying on combat performance.
Summer Skirmishes Rewards
One of the major Summer Skirmishes rewards is the Tier 96 Legendary Gear Custom Chest.
The activity also includes Heat Stipend rewards, which can provide up to two additional chests per week beyond the standard rewards.
Additional Clear Outpost rewards can be earned by completing the designated boss challenges.
Players who want to maximize the available rewards should complete the full boss roster while the activity remains available.
Summer Skirmishes Food Strategy
The event includes a food-gifting mechanic for its bosses.
Boss | Suggested Food |
|---|---|
Lucky Seventeen | Grilled fish dishes |
Ye Wanshan | Roasted meats |
Tian Ying | Steamed buns and similar staple foods |
Murong Yuan | Fruit preserves |
Guo Xin | Spiced vegetable dishes |
Preparing the relevant food before traveling between boss locations can reduce the amount of time spent managing the activity.
For most developing or undergeared characters, giving food is the easier approach. Players with optimized high-level builds may find normal combat faster if they can defeat the bosses in a very short time.
If your goal is simply to finish Summer Spree efficiently, using the food interaction is the safer and more consistent option.
Players still upgrading their accounts can check the available Where Winds Meet recharge options through Topuplist.
Summer Cookout Guide
Summer Cookout is the cooking activity included in Summer Spree.
Before the full activity becomes available, you must complete the Delights From Afar tutorial quest.
Travel to the Qinghe Heaven's Pier area and head toward the river near the West Heaven's Pier Boundary Stone. Find Dan Xia and speak with her to begin the chilled snack stall quest.
Complete the tutorial and return to the Summer Spree event page to access Summer Cookout.
Once unlocked, the activity requires you to gather ingredients and prepare specific seasonal dishes. Completing the requested dishes provides event progress and rewards.
Unlocking Summer Cookout early gives you more time to collect any ingredients you are missing. If the required ingredients are available through the market, using Coins may also save time compared with farming them manually.
Summer Daily Login Rewards
Summer Daily provides rewards on several dates during the event.
Date | Rewards |
|---|---|
August 6 | Ebon Iron Forged Ahead x10, Inner Way Note: Chest x5 |
August 9 | Tier 96 Epic Melodic Stone x1, Bag of Coins x10 |
August 12 | Peach Branch x2, Bag of Coins x15 |
August 15 | Inner Way Note: Chest x10, Bag of Coins x15 |
August 18 | Softweave Dye Powder x2, Lingering Melody x1 |
The Summer Daily reward dates are August 6, August 9, August 12, August 15, and August 18.
Check the event page when each reward becomes available so that you do not miss the event's scheduled login rewards.
Best Way to Complete Summer Spree
Beat the Heat should be one of your first priorities because its objectives depend on the limited-time Ever-Cold Heart Mystic Skill.
After unlocking Beat the Heat, complete the Delights From Afar tutorial so that Summer Cookout is also available.
Summer Skirmishes can then be cleared efficiently by preparing food and using the food-gifting interaction whenever possible.
Keep track of the Summer Daily dates throughout the event and claim each available login reward.
After these time-sensitive objectives are under control, use the remaining event period to finish any incomplete cooling, cooking, or boss challenges.
Best Summer Spree Rewards
Summer Spree includes several useful limited-time and progression rewards.
The most notable rewards include Ever-Cold Heart, Legendary Melodic Stone: Fieryheart, Tier 96 Legendary Gear Custom Chest, Tier 96 Epic Melodic Stone, Lingering Melody, Softweave Dye Powder, Inner Way Note: Chests, Bags of Coins, and Echo Jade.
Because many Summer Spree objectives do not require highly optimized combat builds, the event is relatively accessible to players at different stages of progression.
When Does Summer Spree End
Where Winds Meet Summer Spree ends on August 20, 2026, at 23:59 UTC+8.
Complete your remaining event activities and claim the available rewards before the deadline.
Ever-Cold Heart is tied to Summer Spree and expires when the event ends, making Beat the Heat one of the most important activities to finish before August 20.
What to Complete Before August 20
Make sure Beat the Heat has been unlocked and that all required Ever-Cold Heart objectives are complete.
Finish the available heat-zone activities and complete the Delights From Afar tutorial to unlock Summer Cookout.
Complete the required cooking activities and clear the available Summer Skirmishes boss challenges.
Check the Summer Daily page on the relevant reward dates and collect any available Heat Stipend or other event rewards before the event closes.
Summer Spree is designed around consistent participation rather than demanding high-end combat performance. Starting Beat the Heat early, unlocking Summer Cookout, using food during Summer Skirmishes, and keeping track of the Summer Daily schedule will make the event much easier to complete.
