Art of the Celestial Vale.
The Celestial Vale is a starting area for all newly created characters in the PWI Eclipse expansion and has replaced the Astral Domain. Here is where new characters will start their journey before entering the Midlands. The Celestial Vale will help players familiarize themselves with the game's functions, mechanics, and their chosen class' skills. This area offers an extensive map, a dungeon, the Growth Goal system, introduction to the Spiritual Cultivation, and the first addition the Perfect World Anecdote called Celestial Vale Quest Chain.
As players go through the quest chain they are introduced to their first Genie, mount, flyer, fashion, armor, and weapons.
To access the Celestial Vale from the Midlands, talk to the Teleport Master in any of the starter cities (Etherblade City, City of the Plume, City of the Lost, City of Raging Tides, Tellus City, or Dawnglory) and select the "Go back to Celestial Vale" quest from the Quest Related option. To return to the Midlands while in the Celestial Vale, talk to a Teleport Master and select the "Return to Perfect World" quest from the quest related option. Newer characters will not be able to leave the Celestial Vale until they have completed the Celestial Vale Quest Chain. To leave the Celestial Vale without doing the quest chain the player can be summoned into the main map by another player such as a psychic.
Story[]
More art of the Celestial Vale.
The Celestial Vale was the home of the Divine Child, son of Pan Gu, until soldiers from the Twilight Empire invaded the place attempting to kill the Divine Child and take his power. Since then, Celestial Maidens have arrived to the vale and prepared it so that Spiritual Initiates can train there. Recently, it has been overrun by seven sacred beasts that now threaten the safety of the Celestial Vale and its people.
In PW 4065, the residence of the God's Son was renamed into Celestial Vale. It was a place teeming of great magical energy, and serves as a birthing place for all spirits in Perfect World. There were some very feral beasts in the Celestial Vale, including the Flameflow Butterfly, Polaris Riftbeast, Sunburnt Panther, Tacit Phoenix, Shellsea Undine, Drunk Monkey, and Snowgrind Fox. The Celestial Maiden defeated them all, and used the Divine Seal to lock them away. Now that the Divine Seal is broken, the seven beasts were released, and started ravaging the world. We have to find those beasts, and put them under the Divine Seal again.

Tips Before Getting Started[]
The Growth Goal Lotus.
- Give the Beginner's Guide a read as it will help you familiarize yourself with the game.
- If you are new to the game and want to spend real money to expand your inventory, safe, or quest log by purchasing items from the Boutique (in-game store) you will have to wait until you are level 10+.
- Open the quest log by pressing the Q key and check the Current Quests and Find Quests tabs to start your journey. Always check the area you are in for any NPCs that have a quest flag over them so you can grab their quests while you are there.
- Start doing quests by checking where the Quest Dispatcher of each quest is located on the map. Do this by clicking on the NPC's link in the quest log then open the map by pressing the M key to see where the highlighted location is flagged on the overall map and the expanded map. By doing this to each quest you can plan how you want to organize doing the quests. You can do the same thing for the quest awarder NPCs also, if they are given.
- As you receive quests remember that the quest log is limited to 20 quests by default. Try not to fill your quest log too much, as PWI uses it for several things such as teleportation, opening boxes, drops, buying items and many more.
- You may be tempted to pick up everything that monsters drop. This can quickly become a storage nightmare until you learn what to save and what you can throw away. Most drops are not worth very much (1 Silver Coin) and can be thrown away, though some items are useful for expanding your safe or pet bag.
- A lot of quest items will appear in the "normal item" tab of your inventory rather than in the "quest items" tab. Also you will likely receive lots of items when completing quests throughout the game, so make sure to leave enough space in your inventory.
- This game has a lot of features and can get very complicated very quickly, especially if you level up very quickly. Don't be afraid to ask for help or advice from other players. Most players are glad to help out if they are able to.
- You can also search here on the wiki for various features you may come across. Pwdatabase is also a very useful tool for finding information about items, monsters, NPCs, and quests.
- When you begin you may notice a pink lotus around the top-left of your screen. This is the Growth Goal system, which includes a System Introduction that contains tutorials on a number of features. You can get rewards from this by completing each goal, and more are unlocked every 10 levels, so make sure to check it regularly.
- The Perfect World Anecdote is a useful tool for keeping track of important quests as you level up. It can be found by clicking the Quests button at the bottom-right of the window.
Celestial Vale Quest Chain[]
The circle of statues of the classes in the center of Heroes Terrace.
The Celestial Vale Quest Chain is the first storyline players will complete in the Perfect World Anecdote system.
As players go through this storyline they will be shown the general basics such as: equiping gear, getting your first Genie, obtaining a mount and flyer, fashion, and gaining experience on your chosen class' skills.
Some classes have their own set of quests that they can do to learn essential skills. Venomancers will receive their own quests to receive their first pet, as well as essential pet-related skills. Mystics will also receive their own quests to learn their first summon and plant skills.
Spiritual Cultivation[]
As players level up in the Celestial Vale they will gain their first two Spiritual Cultivation quests.
- Spiritual Adept Available at level 9.
- Aware of Principle Available at level 19.
Players with Spiritual Adept will be able to learn new skills which are initially available between levels 9 and 18; they will also unlock the ability to use Chi, and their Maximum Chi bar will be increased to 99. Players with Aware of Principle be able to learn new skills between levels 19 and 28. They will also be able to leave the Celestial Vale once they have also completed the Celestial Vale Quest Chain.
Celestial Vale Dungeon[]
Celestial Vale comes with one Dungeon which is the lowest level dungeon in the game, located at Konton. It can be accessed by interacting with the blue crystal in the middle of the town and taking its quest.
It is possible to complete this dungeon by yourself at level 19 or 20 if you use a Legacy Guardian Charm. However, you might still need help to complete this dungeon as it proves to be time consuming to solo at this level.
Summary[]
As you level your character or reach the end of the quest chain in Celestial Vale, you will start seeing quests in your quest log that are in Perfect World. Upon leaving the Celestial Vale, you will be teleported to Archosaur, where you will be able to continue your Spiritual Cultivation and begin some of the quest lines. At this point you may want to research the upcoming quests you will be given as you level. The most important quests to do are the cultivation quests as these help to teach you more advanced skills. It is also a good idea to choose a list of daily quests to do to keep you moving along and leveling at a decent rate.
