▍What Are Tavern Secrets?

Tavern Secrets are hidden interaction points inside the Sandstorm Tavern activity zone. Each one triggers a short dialogue, a clue reveal, or a story fragment. Collecting all 10 unlocked the Agent Double-o-Wine hero title during the May-June 2026 event window. The event period ended on June 5, 2026, and the title can no longer be obtained. The tavern itself remains open as a permanent multiplayer activity, and the secrets are still collectible for completion credit and Echo Jade rewards.

▍How to Enter Sandstorm Tavern

You need multiplayer mode. Teleport to the Blissful Retreat boundary stone in Qinghe, then speak with Ju Lonquan. A cutscene plays, and you enter the tavern. The tavern uses stat-equalized mechanics. Your gear, level, and build do not carry over inside. Everyone fights on the same baseline.

▍All 10 Tavern Secret Locations

Work through these in order. Several secrets sit next to each other, so following the sequence saves backtracking.

Secret 1 — Arena Right Platform

From the tavern entrance, look northeast. Walk toward the Desert Arena. On the arena's right side, observe the raised platform. The prompt says "Observe."

Secret 2 — First Arena NPC Group

Continue along the arena edge. The first group of NPCs stands near the arena boundary. Use "Eavesdrop" to trigger the dialogue.

Secret 3 — Second Arena NPC Group

Keep following the arena perimeter. A second NPC cluster appears near the northwest curve. Eavesdrop again.

Secret 4 — Northwest Arena Conversation

Move farther northwest around the arena. A third conversation triggers here. Eavesdrop to unlock it.

Secret 5 — Horse Eavesdrop

Leave the arena area. Head southwest toward the horse near the stables. Stand close to the horse and eavesdrop.

Secret 6 — Tavern Main Entrance, Left Side

Enter the tavern through the main door. Immediately turn left. An interactable Knock prompt appears on the wall or door panel. Knock to collect.

Secret 7 — Northeast Stairs

Go deeper into the tavern. Turn left toward the northeast interior, then climb the stairs. The Observe prompt sometimes fails to appear on the first try. Reposition around the stair landing and try again until it triggers.

Secret 8 — First Upstairs Room

At the top of the stairs, enter the first room. An interactable spot waits inside. Inspect it.

Secret 9 — Same Room, Right Side

Stay in the first upstairs room. Look to the right side for a second interactable. Inspect this one too.

Secret 10 — Second Room Letter

Leave the first room. Turn left and enter the next room. Read the letter inside to collect the final Tavern Secret.

▍Why Prompts Fail to Appear

The Observe and Eavesdrop hitboxes are tight. If the prompt does not show up, walk closer to the target area, rotate your camera angle, try from different sides of the same object. For secret 7 (stairs), step back and re-approach the landing. This is a known quirk. The secrets exist. The trigger zones do not always register from every angle.

▍Rewards

During the event window (May 15 – June 5, 2026), collecting all 10 Tavern Secrets awarded the Agent Double-o-Wine title and bonus Wine Tokens.

Post-event, collecting all 10 still grants Echo Jade and completion credit for achievement hunters.

If you find yourself running low on Echo Jade for weekly shop purchases or Celestial Echo pulls, you can top up Where Winds Meet Echo Beads to convert into additional Jade — a reliable fallback when free sources run dry.

▍Related Sandstorm Tavern Activities

While hunting secrets, clear these activities for additional Echo Jade. The Desert Arena is a stat-equalized PvP mode won through parry timing, dodge discipline, and stamina management. The Drinking Game is a timing-based circle prompt — hit the correct zone when the marker aligns. Midnight Lodger is a deduction minigame where the fast-clear method involves letting the 2nd and 5th NPCs enter while rejecting the rest. Clear all three weekly for a consistent Echo Jade income stream.
