Here's how you can claim all of your free Where Winds Meet Twitch Drops and receive valuable rewards just for watching your stream.
How saved EXP works in Where the Wind Meets
When you reach a certain point where the wind meetsyour personality is completely Normal EXP acquisition will be stopped.. You cannot exceed that limit until you complete a groundbreaking challenge and the next limit is unlocked according to the game's set schedule.
However, experience earned during this “lockdown” period will not be lost. Instead, it becomes Stored EXP. Experience buff after taking a long, slow rest. This means that even if you see something like 381K saved EXP, that doesn't mean you'll immediately get 381K EXP the moment the limit increases.
Instead, the amount acts like an experience pool that gives you: 50% bonus experience Each time you gain experience points. This buff disappears when your saved XP pool is emptied.
Simply put, saved EXP does not give you additional levels immediately and is not consumed all at once. This is only a temporary buff until the stored pool is depleted. This mechanic is right there so your play time isn't completely wasted during the time gate.
