Where guides disagree
- Effect values differ between sources: Jewel's Knot +15% HP (allthings.how) vs +10% (games.gg); Preservation Jar -50% vs -30%; Silent Wrap -50% vs -40%; Flameward -50% vs -40%; Thunderward -50% vs -30%; Congeal Talisman -50% vs -30%; Manor Medicine Pot 8% vs 15%. This page uses the allthings.how values; verify in game.
- Quick Hand Pendant location: allthings.how lists it near the Thieves' Camp bell, while games.gg says it is the reward for freeing Quick Hand Zhang and visiting his hideout.
- Counterstrike Bracers and Miraculous Scabbard: allthings.how calls them the first and second Long Pillar trial rewards, while games.gg places both under the Man in Black fight. Regions here follow games.gg.
- Game8 says there are 26 Phantom Edges at release; the list here has 25 (from keengamer), and Game8's list pages are empty in the page source.
- Game8's Phantom Edge stats (damage and guard break) are early impressions from around Meigu Lake and may change later.
- Lingran's Pendant may be the same item as fextralife's Pendant of Righteousness (unverified); Broken Vessel is described as heavy-attack combos (allthings.how) vs Triangle combos that consume Sha-Chi (Game8).
