Base building is just one of the plethora of activities you can do in Where Winds Meet. Unlike in most MMOs where player housing is limited and expensive, this game lets you make a house of your own using a building system that's commonly used by survival games. Yes, you can make a base using prefab walls, floors, windows, and so on, and you can even build preset houses if you want something built instantly. Thankfully, base building in Where Winds Meet is unlocked fairly early. If you want to dabble with this mechanic right from the go, here's what you need to do.

Master the art of Wuxia action RPGs with these beginner tips for Where Winds Meet.
How to Unlock Base Building in Where Winds Meet
To unlock this feature, you need to complete the Building: One Last Job quest, which takes place on Halo Peak. It's currently unclear if there's a minimum level requirement to unlock this quest, since in our case, we completed One Last Job after reaching level 40 and beating the Chapter One story boss of Where Winds Meet. Check the Exploration tab of your Journal and check if One Last Job is available. If not, try reaching at least level 25 or so first.
The good thing about the One Last Job quest is that it serves as a tutorial for the building mechanic itself. Once you reach the quest marker (which you can get by tracking One Last Job from your journal), you'll find a man named Yang Yuan at Halo Peak. He'll ask you to help with the reconstruction of the pagoda, and in return, he'll teach you how to build.
The game will hold your hand through the entire building process, so there's no need to worry about confusing controls. Once you've restored the pagoda, you'll unlock Construction Mode, which you can then use to make your bases.
