Mingshen Notices Guide – All Cases, Commissions, and Yard Exchange in WuWa 3.5

Version 3.5 of Wuthering Waves introduced the Mingshen Notices—a permanent event that puts players in the role of a Constable-in-training. Using the innovative Mingshen System and its network of Skywatch Rings scattered across Xuanfang, you can detect suspicious activities, investigate cases, and complete commissions to earn valuable rewards.

This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about the Mingshen Notices event—from unlocking it and understanding its mechanics to completing every case and commission available.

How to Unlock the Mingshen Notices Event

The Mingshen Notices event becomes available during Chapter 4 Act 1 of the main story, in the quest titled "The Wind Before the Storm". As you progress through this questline, you'll meet Liangyu and unlock the Four Chime Shaftpost, which grants you access to the Mingshen System.

Once unlocked, you can access the system at any time by:

• Opening your map while in Xuanfang
• Toggling to the Region Guide (the button in the upper-left corner of your screen)
• Viewing the map marked with active case locations

Important: Players must progress through the Main Quest "The Wind Before the Storm" to access certain areas of Xuanfang Hold, including Thousandfold Foundry and various Fang Peaks.

 

Understanding the Mingshen System

The Mingshen System utilizes Skywatch Rings displayed across the Land of Xuanfang to detect and log suspicious activities, directly aiding Constables in maintaining peace and security throughout Xuanfang Hold.

The system organizes content into two main categories:

- Cases – Investigation-focused content where you analyze clues and solve mysteries

- Commissions – General tasks and errands that help maintain order in Xuanfang

Both types of content reward you with Constable Tokens, a special currency used at the Yard Exchange for various rewards.

 

All Mingshen Notices Cases

Cases are investigation-driven quests that require you to analyze clues, interview suspects, and uncover the truth behind various incidents. Here's every case available in the Mingshen Notices event:

How to Play Mingshen Notices

Step 1: Unlock During Chapter 4 Act 1

As mentioned above, the event unlocks during the Main Quest "The Wind Before the Storm". After meeting Liangyu and unlocking the Four Chime Shaftpost, you're ready to begin.

Step 2: Scan and Investigate Active Cases

Open your map in Xuanfang and access the Region Guide to see marked case locations. Approach these locations to begin investigations.

During investigations, you'll need to:

- Analyze different clue choices

- Interview NPCs

- Use the Sensor tool to find hidden clues

- Deduce the truth from gathered evidence

Example – Lost Pages Woven in Myths: This case requires investigating four suspects' alibis and using clues to identify the real culprit. You must submit the correct clues for three deduction questions.

Step 3: Gain Clearance Through Investigation

Progressing through cases grants you clearance to unlock additional commissions and content. The more cases you solve, the more of Xuanfang's mysteries you can access.

Step 4: Complete General Commissions

Once you've unlocked the Resonance Nexus in Xuanfang Hold, you can freely explore and start doing General Commissions. These range from combat trials to exploration and puzzle-solving, and they're your primary source of Constable Tokens.

Step 5: Upgrade Your Clearance

Interact with the Resonance Nexus in Xuanfang Hold to obtain the Mingshen System's high-level clearance, unlocking access to more General Commissions.
