Seasons
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 supernatural. Natural Seasons switch roughly week to week and have different effects on the animal and plants around you. Pilgrims with access to the Alchemy skill can build a 
Thermoscope to check the exact Temperature.

Animal Changes
Any Butterflys, 
Any Glowworms, and 
Any Moths only spawn during an Everbloom.
Bears and 
Swift Shellbacks hibernate during a Coldsnap and therefore will not spawn.
Beavers fatten up during a Coldsnap and will yield more with 
Gelatinous Lard when Butchered.- Ewes (female
Sheep), will yield about 35% more 
Wool if Sheared during a Coldsnap. 
Frozen Toads can be found when 
Diggging during a Coldsnap.
Sperm Whales migrate South during a Coldsnap, and North during an Everbloom.
Plant Changes
- Harvesting crops from a
Tilled Field during an Everbloom adds a bonus of 50 Plenty. - Fruit Orchards will only blossom and ripen during during an Everbloom.
Other Changes

Igloos can only by built during a Coldsnap.
Packed Snow, 
Simple Snowflakes, 
Shard of Ice, 
Snowballs, and 
Snow Masks take longer to melt during a Coldsnap.
Frontier Sleds and 
Sturdy Sleds can be pulled faster during a Coldsnap.
Blood Moon
The third season is the Blood Moon, rumored to be caused by Witchcraft casting their spells and plunging Salem into the horrors of the Blood Moon. The Blood Moon will fade after about a day, and can be followed by either a Coldsnap or an Everbloom. Praying on the 
Benches 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 1 to 2 Madness levels worth of Insanity. Additionally, the rate at which you accumulate Insanity is also much higher.
Bleed effects are magnified.- Using
Sift Rubble will find 
Blood Shards instead of 
Any Raw Gems. 
Arcane Amethyst can be found rarely when Chipping 
Boulders.
