Windwalking

Qing Gong is Blade & Soul's most basic form of transportation. By double tapping your W key, you immediately transition into the Qing Gong state, granting you an incredible boost in both speed and agility. While in this state you run at very high speeds, jump incredibly high, and perform some visually impressive acrobatics while doing so.

However, there is a limitation to this ability. Aside from only being able to use Qing Gong out of combat, this mechanic requires a resource in order to be used, a meter is located directly under your characters health and ability meters. This resource meter will continuously drain at a constant rate while you are preforming Qing Gong. Once this meter is depleted, you will be forced out of Qing Gong and will not be able to re-enter the Qing Gong state until you have recovered a portion of the resource meter.

You will obtain the ability to enter the Qing Gong state while going through the tutorial zone at the start of the game, which is completed by level four. Qing Gong is quite efficient short distance travel, impressive to look at, and, most importantly, fun to use!

Qing Gong Skills

You unlock these Qing Gong skills in the tutorial (level 1~4).

• Sprint: Press W twice: Enters Qing Gong sprinting mode (explained above)
• Glide: After executing a jump in Qing Gong mode while still in the air, tap space bar: Character enters "Glide" mode. When your are gliding, you travel faster than walking, and do not take up Qing Gong stamina (the green bar). To exit glide mode, tap the space bar again, and you will fall to the ground, or wait until your character reaches the ground.
  • Extra Use If you tap the space bar twice after entering glide, your character will drop in altitude, and then resume glide again--this can be useful if you are gliding and are trying to avoid running into large objects. However, this is sometimes a much more difficult method to use compared to the "Drop Down" skill.
• Air Walk: Press W twice while gliding Character will activate "sprint". Seems to go faster than glide, and it consumes Stamina. Upon reaching the ground, you will continue to sprint (unlike regular glide, where you will not re-enter sprint mode when you land).
• Water Walk: Press W twice while on water: Works same as Qing Gong on land, but you run on water with slightly different animation.
• Drop Down: While Gliding, press S: Character drops down quickly. Can come in handy in certain situations. Extra Use If you just tap S while gliding, your character will drop in altitude. Has a few small uses, mostly things like trying to avoid large objects at the same altitude as you by dropping a few feet.
