About

While Salem is in a state of perpetual Autumn, this does not make it immune to shifts in the weather, which are generally called Seasons.

Seasons

The are three different Seasons in the New World, two natural and one summonable. Natural Seasons switch roughly week to week and have different effects on the animal and plants around you, and each has a distinct Temperature, trending either warm or cool. Under normal circumstance pilgrims will not get Hypothermia icon.png Hypothermia during a warm trending Season. Pilgrims with access to the Alchemy skill can build a Thermoscope icon.png Thermoscope to check the exact Temperature.

Season Type Temperature Trend
Everbloom icon.png Everbloom Natural Warm
Coldsnap icon.png Coldsnap Natural Cool
Blood Moon icon.png Blood Moon Summonable Warm

Animal Changes

  • Any Butterfly icon.png Any Butterflys only spawn during an Everbloom.
  • Bear icon.png Bears hibernate during a Coldsnap and therefore will not spawn.
  • Beaver icon.png Beavers fatten up during a Coldsnap and will yield more with Gelatinous Lard icon.png Gelatinous Lard when Butchered.
  • Cow icon.png Cows, Goat icon.png Goats, Pig icon.png Pigs, Sheep icon.png Sheep are more likely to become Disease icon.png Diseased if left outside a Barn icon.png Barn during a Coldsnap.
  • Ewes (female Sheep icon.png Sheep), will yeild about 35% more Wool icon.png Wool if Sheared during a Coldsnap.
  • Sperm Whale icon.png Sperm Whales migrate south during a Coldsnap, and north during an Everbloom.

Plant Changes

  • Harvesting crops during an Everbloom yields 1.5 times the amount obtained during a Coldsnap.
  • Fruit Orchards will only blossom and ripen during during an Everbloom.

Other Changes

Blood Moon

WARNING: Players who are Knocked Out during a Blood Moon will PERMANENTLY DIE, so don't do ANYTHING that will cause you to faint during a Blood Moon!


The third season is the Blood Moon. Witches may cast their spells to plunge Salem into the horrors of the Blood Moon season. The Blood Moon will fade after about a day, and can be followed by either a Coldsnap or an Everbloom. Praying on the {{i|Bench}]es in the Providence Church is rumored to reduce the time the Blood Moon lasts.

Changes

  • Being online at the moment a Blood Moon begins adds 2 madness levels worth of Madness. Additionally, the rate at which you accumulate Insanity is also much higher.
  • Be Knocked Out outdoors during a Blood Moon will cause your character to PERMANENTLY DIE.
  • Bleed icon.png Bleed effects are magnified.
  • Using Sift Rubble icon.png Sift Rubble will find Blood Shard icon.png Blood Shards instead of Any Raw Gem icon.png Any Raw Gems.
  • Arcane Amethyst icon.png Arcane Amethyst can be found rarely when Chipping Boulder icon.png Boulders.

Players are encouraged to do passive tasks or simply not play during a Blood Moon if they are not prepared to lose their character.

NOTE: While being Knocked Out inside a Mine Entrance icon.png Mine Entrance won't permanently kill you during a Blood Moon, be aware that getting Knocked Out from a Bat icon.png Bat can potentially cause you to be easily Knocked Out again after you respawn, then causing permanent death.
