Where Winds Meet: The Ultimate Raging Tides Sect Guide

Amidst the sweeping crimson maples of Qin Chuan in the 1.6 update, the Raging Tides sect stands as a symbol of raw passion and unbridled power. They are not merely wanderers; they are elite warriors forged in alcohol and battle. Clad in scarlet armor and carrying golden gourds, they bridge the gap between military discipline and the freedom of the Jianghu. If you want to don the most striking gear in the game, you'll need to prove your mettle through blood and wine.

I. Raging Tides Rules

• No Wine, No Hero: In Raging Tides, alcohol is the ultimate litmus test for courage. As the sect proverb goes: "If you can't even handle this much wine, how dare you call yourself a Raging Tides disciple?"
• Drunken Brotherhood: The sect emphasizes the bond between "fellow brothers." They believe in breaking shackles while "drunk with blood," prioritizing loyalty and shared survival on the battlefield.

II. Raging Tides Outfit

• The Crimson General: Raging Tides is all about Crimson Silk and Polished Armor. The aesthetic features deep scarlet silks paired with dark gold plating, exuding an air of noble authority.
• Signature Details: Every disciple carries the iconic Yellow Pear-wood Gourd. As you climb the ranks, your armor becomes increasingly intricate, evolving from a simple soldier's kit into the formidable, ornate regalia of a Commander.

III. Raging Tides Promotion

Raging Tides follows a strict military hierarchy. Every promotion requires completing Trial by the Cup and Drunken Unchained missions: Soldier→ Fire Chief→ Squad Leader → Lieutenant→ Commander
